  • Patent number: 8167161
    Abstract: A metallic container closure comprising a shell of a thin metal sheet having a circular top panel wall 7 and a skirt wall 9, and a synthetic resin liner arranged in the shell, the skirt wall 9 having a thread-forming region and an annular groove 17 positioned at an upper end portion of the thread-forming region, wherein an internal pressure release line A extending in the circumferential direction is arranged in the skirt wall 9 at a portion over the annular groove 17, and annular bead 30 is arranged so as to pass through between the internal pressure release line A and the annular groove 17. The metallic container closure effectively releases the gas when the pressure in the container is elevated and effectively prevents the skirt wall from being deformed at a portion where the internal pressure release line A is formed when it is being wrap-seamed with the mouth-and-neck portion of the container.

  • Publication number: 20050169488
    Abstract: An improved acoustic characteristic adjustment device comprises signal processing units including high frequency convolution arithmetic sections, low frequency convolution arithmetic sections, and delay sections. The device further comprises: an operation section from which a listener inputs a target characteristic in order to adjust a desired acoustic characteristic; an impulse characteristic control section; and a delay time control section. The impulse characteristic control section calculates impulse response data to effect convolution arithmetics. The delay time control section calculates alignment delay times necessary for sounds emitted from the speakers to reach a listening position. The delay time control section also calculates correction times for compensating various phase deviations. Times obtained by correcting the alignment delay times with the correction times are set as the delay times of the delay sections, respectively.
