Abstract: The invention relates to a device (100) for testing a connection of a guarantee strip (3.1) of a security seal of a closure lid (1.1) having a lid main body (2.1), which device comprises a driver element (180) for gripping the guarantee strip (3.1) and a stop element (780) for the lid main body (2.1). The driver element (180) and the stop element (170) are movable relative to each other such that a tear-off force can be exerted on the guarantee strip (3.1). The device (100) also comprises a force-measuring device (171), for measuring the tear-off force during the relative movement of the guarantee strip (3.1) and the lid main body (2.1), and a separating device (191, 192) for severing the guarantee strip (3.1) after it has been tom off from the lid main body (2.1). This allows the guarantee strip (3.1) to be severed and thereby results in a considerable simplification of the removal of the guarantee strip (3.

Abstract: Methods and pulse sequences for facilitating nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in grossly inhomogeneous fields. Methods and pulse sequences according to the invention may be used to accurately measure variables such as transverse relaxation time, longitudinal relaxation time, and diffusion, without the need for data at long recovery time, thereby allowing for faster measurements. In addition, methods and pulse sequences according to embodiment of the invention may allow simultaneous encoding of information in both the amplitude and the shape of echoes, so as to allow a single-shot measurement of multiple variables, e.g., both transverse relaxation time (from the decay of echo amplitudes) and longitudinal relaxation time (from the echo shape). CPMG detection may be used to overcome the often limited signal-to-noise ratio in grossly inhomogeneous fields.
