Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a seal between an open body end of a container body and an edge of a lid which is pressable into the open end of the body in a sealing manner, both made from sheet metal, wherein at the end of the body the sheet metal is bent outward by approximately 180° with a bending radius, the lid edge, which is separated from a lid surface by a channeled bead, extending axially upward with its radially external defining edge of the bead beyond an axial position of the lid surface and being bent outwards with a radius which is larger than the bending radius at the body end, to form a rolled edge for receiving an annular sealing material filling the rolled edge and extending downwards, wherein a sheet edge of the rolled edge terminates at a radial distance before the defining edge, said distance being dimensioned such that during the sealing process the body end, with the bending radius thereof in contact with the defining edge of the lid, may be inserted between the same and the sealing mate

Abstract: A container includes (i) a metal receiving body having a peripheral upper edge delimiting an upper opening and provided with an one-piece outwardly projection and (ii) a relockable lid including a metallic cover provided with a resilient ring having a locking part with a lower free edge, and divided into two annular portions separated by an annular folding line, whose lower portion is foldable around the folding line between two stable positions. The locking part has:—locking elements including a plurality of beads arranged around the inner surface of the lower portion and at a distance from each other, and—a plurality of orifices, arranged around the locking part at a distance from each other and extending at a distance from the lower free edge, wherein the orifices extend through the locking part, at least over a part of the height of the upper and lower portions thereof.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments include a seal between an open body end of a container body and an edge of a lid. The lid is pressable into the open end of the body in a sealing manner. The components may be made from a light gauge sheet metal. The lid can be removable affixed to the body. The seal is configured to securely attach to the body to provide a safe seal of the container to be capable of withstanding impacts, such as from a shock or fall. Accordingly, the embodiments are applicable to containers which contain hazardous materials.

Abstract: A method of making shape-adaptable and spectral-selective distributed optical radiation sources, in the wavelength range between UV and mid-infrared, for therapeutic treatment using passive host medium containing nanocrystals is disclosed. The spectral output of the distributed optical radiation source is controlled by the nanocrystal size distribution that determines the spectral output of fluorescence radiation originating from these nanocrystals from within the said host medium, which contains the said nanocrystals, under excitation by an external source. The size of nanocrystals, or the size distribution of nanocrystals, incorporated in the host medium is selected based on the radiation spectral output required for therapeutic requirements. The passive host medium, incorporating the said nanocrystals, is made of adaptable, geometrically configurable, material that conforms to any desired shape.
