Abstract: A stopper (100; 100?) for closing a container, comprising a main body (1; 1?) shaped so as to be removably housed and engaged in an opening of said container, and extending along a longitudinal axis (X) thereof between two opposed base surfaces (2, 3) which face the outside and the inside of the containers, respectively, when said main body (1; 1?) is housed and engaged in said opening, said stopper (100; 100?) comprising a barrier element (4; 4?) made from a material with high impermeability to gases and provided on a transverse surface portion (5) of said stopper (100; 100?) positioned transversely with respect to said longitudinal axis (X) so as to intercept the flow of gas through said stopper (100; 100?), said barrier element (4; 4?) being intended to reduce the passage of gas through said stopper (100), characterized in that said barrier element (4, 4?) comprises a plastic barrier layer (41; 43) made from polyisobutylene-based elastomers, preferably SIBS and/or TPV and/or TPU, or from aluminium and/or a

Abstract: A stopper (1) for bottles for wine and similar drinks comprising an outer coating (2) and an inner element (3) is described, and in which the outer coating (2) consists of a first thermoplastic polymeric material (2a) which entirely covers the inner element (3), while the inner element (3) is made of a second foamed semi-crystalline polymeric material (3a), the synthetic stopper (1) being produced by coinjection moulding process.

Abstract: The invention describes a synthetic stopper with manual uncorking for bottle for sparkling wine or similar, of the type simulating traditional corks, consisting entirely of a polymeric material having a modulus of elasticity between 5 and 20 MPa, and comprising a lower portion (2) which can be inserted in a bottle (10) and an upper portion (3) which can be gripped for manual extraction of the lower portion (2) from the bottle (10), the lower portion (2) having an upper base (5) adjacent to the upper portion (3) and without dimensional discontinuity with the same and a lateral surface (6) slanting by an angle (?) between 7° and 19° with respect to the longitudinal axis (4) of the lower portion (2).

Abstract: An apparatus for reading radiation from human skin and processing it for diagnostic purposes comprises reading means (10), for reading a main radiation (100) from an individual's skin, and a dispersive element (20), for separating the main radiation (100) into a plurality of portions (110) with different wavelengths. The apparatus (1) also has a transducer block (30), for receiving the portions (110) and generating a corresponding transmission signal (120), representative of the portions (110), and a processing block (50), which, according to the transmission signal (120), can calculate a predetermined number of physiological parameters characteristic of the individual's skin.
