  • Publication number: 20120248230
    Abstract: A document shredder has a housing wall interrupted by an insertion opening of a feed channel for the material to be comminuted. A cutting unit adjoins the feed channel in the insertion direction of the material to be comminuted. A suction-extraction device has an intake end opening into the feed channel and intended for sucking the air stream out of the feed channel. A filter element in the blow-out opening filters out fine dust particles before the suction-extracted air is blown out of the document shredder housing into the surroundings.

  • Patent number: 6885545
    Abstract: An electrode includes a current collector that is two-dimensional in shape and that contains perforations, and an intermediate layer that is electrically conductive and substantially corrosion-resistant. The intermediate layer is on at least part of a first surface of the current collector, and includes at least one of precious metal, graphitic carbon, a metal nitride, and a metal carbide. A first electrode layer is on the intermediate layer. At least part of the first electrode layer is in at least some perforations of the current collector. The first electrode layer, the intermediate layer, and the current collector are bonded together.

  • Publication number: 20040264110
    Abstract: An electrode with improved operational stability is proposed, in which is provided a two-dimensionally shaped, electrically conductive current collector (1) containing perforations (5). An electrically conductive intermediate layer is applied to the current collector. A first electrode layer (15), which is form-fittingly and firmly bonded to the current collector, is arranged on the intermediate layer on at least one main surface of this current collector, so that a tight interlocking between the current collector and the electrode layer is achieved in the perforations.

  • Publication number: 20040241411
    Abstract: The invention concerns a layer electrode (6) for electrochemical components with a plurality of fibers (1) that all run in parallel with one another in a preferred direction at least in sections, in that the fibers (1) are connected with one another via bonding. The bonding of the fibers (1) can be produced via piercing the layer electrodes (6) with harpoons or also via sewing. The inventive layer electrodes (6) have the advantage that they can be produced thin and cost-effectively.
