A compartment assembly for a refrigerator includes a housing subassembly defining a generally enclosed area, an air outlet in fluid communication with the enclosed area, and a divider unit separating the enclosed area into first and second compartments. The divider unit includes a central wall aligned with the air outlet and exposing respective portions of the air outlet to the first and second compartments. A flap is disposed within the air outlet and is rotatable about an articulation point aligned with respect to the central wall and with a body of the flap extending in an upstream direction within the air outlet. A control element is mounted external to the enclosed area and is operably coupled with the flap to drive rotation thereof.

Resistance annealing furnace to anneal at least one metal or metal alloy wire, strand, string, wire rod or strip, the annealing furnace having at least two electric axles provided with respective electric contact rings for conveying the metal or metal alloy wire, strand, string, wire rod or strip, and a DC voltage generator, which can be supplied by an AC voltage (Uac) to generate an annealing voltage (Uann) applied between the two electric axles so as to produce an electric current in the portion of the metal or metal alloy wire, strand, string, wire rod or strip extending between the two electric axles, which provokes an annealing due to the Joule effect. At least one of the electric contact rings is made of a non-metal electric conductor material, for example graphite.
