Abstract: The invention is an easily openable (1) can end which provides an improved way of providing finger access under the tab for a consumer. A can end is disclosed having an end pane (2)1, the end panel including a moveable portion (7) on which the tab is mounted. Finger access is provided by the moveable portion being moveable from a predetermined first state to a predetermined second state to thereby displace the handle of the tab away from the end panel and define a gap between the handle of the tab and the end panel suitable for finger access by a user.

Abstract: A process for producing natural gas hydrate comprises three states (i), (ii), and (iii). State (i) comprises three pressure vessels (A1, A2, and A3), stage (ii) two pressure vessels (A4 and A5), and stage (iii) the pressure vessel (A6). The conditions of temperature and pressure in the pressure vessels are such that the gas hydrate is formed in the vessels. The formed hydrate is taken off through pipes (e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, and e6) from the pressure vessels to a manifold (34). Chilled water which is both the reactant water and coolant for the process is provided by cooling means (20) and supplied simultaneously to the lower part of each pressure vessel via pipe (22), manifold (32) and pipes (b1, b2, b4, b5, and b6). Natural gas from supply (26) is fed via pipe (30), manifold (32) and pipes (c1, c2, and c3) to nozzles in the lower part of each vessel (A1, A2, and A3) from which nozzles the gas bubbles upwards through the columns of water in vessels (A1, A2, and A3).
