  • Publication number: 20240059465
    Abstract: What is described herein is a closing cap for a container, comprising a lateral wall extending around an axis and a transversal wall positioned at one end of the lateral wall, a separating line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring, which comprises a retaining portion which extends as far as a free edge of the retaining ring and is configured to internally engage with a locking ring of a neck of the container, and a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container. The separating line extends between a first end and a second end and is circumferentially interrupted to leave the closing element and the retaining ring joined. An incision line is provided on the lateral wall between the separating line and the free edge.

  • Publication number: 20230236937
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for coordinating distributed backup data protection sites for alternating recording of point in time copies. For a monitored volume, or pool of monitored volumes, periodic point in time copies are recorded upon data storage capabilities of rotating backup data storage sites as each period elapses. Upon recording a point in time copy at a given backup data storage site, the given site broadcasts to other sites metadata about the point in time copies recorded by each of the backup data storage sites for the monitored volume. As subsequent periods elapse, a rotation of sites are cycled through for selection to record point in time copies for the given period such that point in time copies of the monitored volume are recorded across multiple backup data storage sites, with each backup data storage site recording point in time copies of the monitored volume snapshotted to different times.

  • Patent number: 11697535
    Abstract: Described is closing cap for a container comprising a lateral wall extending about an axis, a separation line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring, which comprises a retaining portion which extends up to a free edge of the retaining ring and is configured to engage internally with a ring for locking a neck of the container in such a way as to remain anchored to the neck, and a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container rotating the closing element about the axis. The separation line is circumferentially interrupted to define in the lateral wall a joining zone in which the retaining ring and the closing element are joined. The cap comprises in addition an incision line, which is also provided on the lateral wall to define, in association with the separation line at least a first connecting band and a second connecting band for connecting together the joining zone and the retaining portion.
