  • Patent number: 11505370
    Abstract: The closure cap for a container comprises an internal skirt (16) comprising a bore (16b) provided with at least one helical screw thread (19) for screwing said cap onto the container, an external skirt (18) radially surrounding said internal skirt at least partially, and a front wall (14) from which said internal and external skirts extend. The cap is produced by moulding at least one synthetic material. At least one recess (30) is formed on an outer surface (16a) of the internal skirt, remaining axially away from a front end face (16c) of said skirt.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11167890
    Abstract: The closure cap for a container comprises an internal fastening skirt (16), an external skirt (18) radially surrounding said internal skirt at least partially, and a front wall (14) from which said skirts extend. The internal skirt (16) has a variable thickness in the direction of its axial length, said thickness being at a minimum at least for a proximal portion (22) of said skirt which extends from the front wall (14). The internal skirt (16) comprises the proximal portion (22) with a thickness E that is substantially constant, a distal portion (24) with a thickness E2 that is substantially constantand greater than the thickness E1, and a connecting portion (26) that connects the proximal portion and thedistal portionand has a variable thickness E3 along its length. The axial length of the proximal portion (22) of the internal skirt varies around the circumference of said skirt.

  • Publication number: 20140099722
    Abstract: A method for controlling a flow-rate of fluid flowing in a microfluidic network comprising a microchannel and a plurality of inlet/outlet interface ports is disclosed. The method includes: successively applying a plurality of pressures on at least one inlet/outlet interface port, measuring a time series of flow-rate values of the fluid generated in response to the plurality of applied pressures, estimating parameters of a model of the microfluidic network response to input pressure values based on the applied pressure values and the measured time series of output flow-rate values, computing a target pressure value at each of the inlet/outlet interface ports corresponding to a predetermined flow-rate value at the flow-rate measuring point, wherein the predetermined flow-rate value corresponds to an output value of the model of the microfluidic network response to the target pressure value, and applying the computed target pressure value on the at least one inlet/outlet interface port.
