Abstract: This invention relates to a removable cap which is metallic to facilitate recovery and recycling. The removable metal cap is for a container, such as tin or jar which may contain supplements or foodstuffs. The metallic removable cap has a thread for screwing the metal cap onto a threaded opening of a container. A retaining bead is provided on its inner surface and retains a two-piece wad. The two-piece wad is formed from an upper (cap) layer and a lower (container) layer. When installed the lower layer seals the container and the retaining bead retains the two-piece wad until removal of the metal cap from the container whereupon the upper layer of the wad separates from the lower layer of the wad and is held inside the metal cap by the retaining bead.

Abstract: An immersion cooling system is configured for uniform fluid distribution across computing devices and includes a tank defining an open interior volume, a distribution pipe having a plurality of ports, a distribution plate having a pattern of holes is positioned over the distribution pipe. A siphon wall divides the open interior volume into a first chamber and a second chamber, and the distribution plate and the distribution pipe are in the first chamber. The dielectric cooling fluid enters the first chamber of the tank through the plurality of ports in the distribution pipe, and flows through the pattern of holes in the distribution plate to contact the at least one computing device. The heat dissipates from the at least one computing device into the dielectric cooling fluid, which flows through the siphon wall into the second chamber via a transfer port that is located below a dielectric cooling fluid surface.

Abstract: In a charged particle beam device, such as an electron microscope, a beam generating apparatus generates a focussed charged particle beam e? that is incident on a specimen in a specimen chamber which holds the specimen in a gaseous environment. A pressure limiting aperture provides partial gaseous isolation of the specimen chamber from the beam generating means, and is located in a lens of the latter. The device includes a conduit, such as an intermediate chamber in the lens, through which, in use, gas is supplied to set up a flow of gas from the region of the lens towards the specimen, thereby to prevent material released from the specimen from impinging on the pressure limiting aperture, to prevent contamination of the latter. The device can be used in a method of scanning a specimen with a charged particle beam, for example in a method of electron microscopy.
