Abstract: A cap and neck assembly for closing an upper end of a package (10) is provided. The neck (20) is formed by a tubular member (110) being provided with external threads (22), and an upper tubular portion (120) extending from the tubular member (110) and being releasably attached to a membrane (150) closing an upper end of said upper portion (120). The cap has a lower portion the threads (22) of the neck (20), and an upper portion (33) being provided with at least one cutting element (50) configured to separate the membrane (150) from the neck (20). When the cap (30) is threaded onto the neck (20) to its axial end position for the first time prior to separating the membrane (150) from the neck (20), the axial distance between a cutting edge (54) of the cutting element (50) and the membrane flange (170) is less than 1 mm.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cap configured to interact with a neck. In some embodiments, the cap comprises an inner wall portion and at least one cutting element projecting radially inwards from the inner wall portion. In some embodiments, the cutting element has a hinge portion connected to the inner wall portion, and a cutting portion extending radially inwards from the hinge portion, wherein a first axial thickness of the hinge portion is between 35 and 80% of a second axial thickness of the cutting portion. Also disclosed herein is an assembly comprising the cap and a spout having a membrane closing a tubular member of the spout.

Abstract: A transformer winding having a conductor wound in a plurality of turns is disclosed, wherein the transformer winding includes a reinforcing part arranged at a winding transition in a manner so that the reinforcing part covers more than 180 degrees of the conductor circumference, whereby the bending strength of the conductor at the location of the reinforcing part is increased. The resistibility of the transformer winding against bending stress is hence improved.

In addition, the invention relates to a system having a combination instrument and an adjustable seat and a method for adjusting a seat using a combination instrument.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparation of a granular composition, which comprises magnesium and phosphorus. In the process, magnesium oxide is granulated with addition of a granulating liquid, which contains phosphoric acid and water. According to the invention, the granulating liquid, besides phosphoric acid and water, also contains sulphuric acid.

Abstract: A method for powder metallurgical production of bar stock from an iron, nickel or cobalt based alloy comprises the steps of introducing a powder of the desired alloy into a tubular container together with a reducing agent and an oxygen getter, sealing the container without evacuating it, heating the sealed container and the powder therein, compacting the heated container by progressive forging and rolling the forged blank. Equipment for forging the container includes a tool having upper and lower dies defining between them an open-ended forging cavity which tapers from an entrance end towards an exit end and through which the container is fed in step-wise manner.
