Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of training a classification system for characterising a biological sample, a diagnostic classification system, as well as a method of characterising a condition in an animal or a human being by using parameters obtained from the sample. The invention relates to classification based on physical parameters obtained from luminescence spectroscopy on light emitted from the sample. The data obtained from a spectrofluorimetric analysis can be considered a finger-print of the sample. Each sample gives rise to a unique spectrofluorometric set of physical parameters. By analysing the fluorescence data, it is possible to classify samples into two or more classes based on the fluorescence spectra, such as classifying with respect to presence/abs of a specific disease, group of diseases or risk of later attaining a specific disease or a body condition, or concentration of a specific compound or medicine.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sealingly fixing a lid (20) to the opening flange (11) of a container body (10) includes a reception device (30) with a support surface (34) for receiving and supporting the container body by abutment of the flange against the support surface. A sealing device (60) applies a pressure to the lid placed between the sealing device and the flange to form a joint which units the lid with the flange. The reception device has a part-spherical surface (3) and a resting device (40) has a part-spherical surface (41) for cooperation with the spherical bounding surface of the reception device.

Abstract: An easily-opened container includes a container body with an opening portion and a lid cooperating with the opening portion. The lid has a central lid portion and a peripheral portion located outside this lid portion and sealingly and permanently fixed to the opening portion for closing the container. The central lid portion and the peripheral portion are separated from one another by a weakened portion which extends in the circumferential direction of the opening portion and at least partially around the opening portion. In a restricted region, the opening portion is provided with a recess located beneath the weakened portion. A stripping unit with fulcrum-effect is pivotally supported in a support region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the sealing of a container (10) by means of a wafer (20). The container comprises one or more joining means (14, 16) which are adapted so that by a joint (12), e.g. a welding joint, they are connected in a leakproof manner, to the wafer in an edge zone (21) of the same. The wafer is held against a contact surface (32) of a retaining means so as to be moved by the same until it rests in its edge zone (21) against anyone of the joining means (14, 16). While the contact with the retaining means is maintained, the wafer is connected by a fixing means (50) in its edge zone in a leakproof manner to anyone of the joining means through the fixing means supplying energy to the edge zone so that a joint (12) is formed. The invention makes it possible to fix in a leakproof manner a previously cut wafer to the opening part of a container.

Abstract: A container (1) consists of a container body (10) and a container lid (20) which, in a factory-sealed container, sealingly closed the lid in circumferential connection (21). In such instance the lid constitutes a bounding definition of the storage space, the lid being of a disposition entailing that bounding portions of the lid are located more proximal the standing surfaces of the container than other portions.

Abstract: An easily-opened container includes a container body (11) with an opening portion and a lid (20) cooperating with the opening portion. The lid has a central lid portion (29) and a peripheral portion located outside this lid portion and sealingly and permanently fixed to the opening portion for closing the container. The central lid portion and the peripheral portion are separated from one another by a weakened portion (22) which extends in the circumferential direction of the opening portion and at least partially around the opening portion. In a restricted region, the opening portion is provided with a recess (17) located beneath the weakened portion. A stripping unit (50) with fulcrum-effect is pivotably supported in a support region (100).

Abstract: A container comprising a container body having an open top with a ring united in sealing and permanent connection with an anchorage portion of an outer lid. A second lid is sealingly fixed to the container body in a region inside the outer lid, whereby there is formed, in the factory-sealed container, a sealed space between the lids.

Abstract: A container comprising a lid and a container body with a flange, the lid and the flange being fixed to one another in an originally sealed condition of the container to provide a tight closure of the container by a frame-like connection member which has first and second attachment sections affixed to the flange and to the lid respectively. A weakening zone is disposed between the two attachment sections in addition to a downwardly projecting flange. When the container is resealed the outer surface of the flange sealingly abuts against the inner surface of the wall of the container at its mouth. The walls of the container, lid and connection member can be provided with layers of high-barrier material.

Abstract: A plastics container with a lid having a skirt extending downwardly around the upper edge portion of the container, the lower edge of the skirt being covered by a protecting member connected with the outer side of the container wall, the protecting member having a vertical flange provided at its upper edge with an inner bead which in the closed position of the lid engages with an outer bead on the skirt at the lower edge thereof.Such arrangement improves upon resistance against disengagement of the lid from the container in the case of elevated pressure in the container or strong deformation of the container.

Abstract: A container comprising a body (1) with a lid (2) initially sealingly engaged on the body. The lid is removable from the body to open the container and is replaceable to close the container. The body has a mouth with a strip (10) of annular extent secured to the lid, the body being provided with an annular weakening zone (6) or notch (7) in the vicinity of the strip where the mouth of the container is secured to the lid. The container is separable at the weakening zone to separate a part of the mouth and the lid together with the strip from the body, the weakening zone being positioned radially inwards of the strip and upon rupture of the weakening zone forming a locating surface for replacement of the lid on the body. Upon reclosure of the lid on the body, the locating surface engages a cooperating part (25) to hold the lid securely on the body such as by snap-engagement.

Abstract: A container (4) has a closure (15) which consists of a flange (6) and a lid (1) which are joined together all the way round by a failure zone (2). When the container is originally sealed the closure is inserted into the opening and the flange is fixed to a flanged top surface (5) of the container which surrounds the opening. The failure zone is located at the point at which the internal surface (3) of the opening meets the top surface of the opening. The lid is dished inwards within the failure zone in such a way that the outer edge of the dishing (7) forms a guide (10) with the internal surface (3). A surface (8) of the lid extending parallel with the top surface is connected to the guide (10). The lid is broken open and is torn along the length of the failure zone by a locally applied force. The application of force inwards will as a rule move the lid over the distance a until the surface (8) makes contact with a ledge (11) located inside the container (4).

Abstract: A container and lid combination in which the lid is removable from the container to open the container and it is replaceable to close the container. The container has a body with a mouth including a strip of annular extent secured to the lid. The body has an annular weakening notch in the vicinity of the strip and the container is separable at the notch to separate a part of the container mouth and the lid together with the strip from the body of the container. The notch is positioned radially inwards of the strip and upon rupture of the notch separate parts are formed which can be reengaged upon replacement of the lid on the container. Locating surfaces are provided on the lid and container for establishing a determined oriented position of replacement of the lid on the body of the container.
