Abstract: The invention relates to a multifunctional tool comprising two handle parts ( 5 ) that can be pivoted out of a parallel position in which they face one another, and comprising a tool (I) situated in the area of the pivot point ( 7 ). At least one additional tool (II) is allocated, which can pivot about an axis ( 8 ) that is assigned to the end of the handle part ( 5 ) located opposite the pivot point ( 7 ). This additional tool can be pivoted out of a folded-in stored position and into a position of use in which it is folded out by approximately 180° whereby resting against a stop. The aim of the invention is to provide a multifunctional tool that is advantageous with regard to its use. To this end, the tool (I) is a corkscrew ( 1 ) in which both handle parts ( 5 ) can pivot out of the parallel position only until reaching an extended position in which their pivotal movement is limited by a stop.

Abstract: A one-way valve for the recontamination-protected repeated discharge of a flowable material from a container of a preferably reducible volume contains a valve seat which consists of a rigid plastic material and which is arranged in the container neck and comprises a base body which rests on the inner wall of the container neck and contains at least one through hole, and a projection which extends in axial direction of the container neck towards the exit opening. The valve seat has arranged thereabove an elastic seal which comprises an annular section covering the at least one through hole, and a sleeve-like section which surrounds the projection at a radial distance with the exception of its end section which in the closed state of the one-way valve rests in the exit opening on the end section of the projection. A sterilization element of silver or of another metal having an oligodynamic action may be arranged in the intermediate space between the projection of the valve seat and the elastic seal. The application of pressure to the contents of the container has the effect that the annular section of the seal releases the at least one through hole of the valve seat, the end section of the sleeve-like part of the seal exiting from the exit opening and releasing the same. The seal will then return into the initial state. The contents of the container is safely sealed against the ingress of contaminants.

Abstract: An efficient process to produce calcium thiosulfate (CaS2O3) from lime, sulfur and oxygen is described. By selecting appropriate process conditions such as mole ratios of lime to sulfur, temperature and pressure of the reaction process and the oxidation conditions, including rate and duration, the concentration of byproducts in the resulting suspension can be reduced to about 2% by weight or less. The solid particulate dispersion in the suspension tends to form a slimy solid suspension that is hard to filter if not treated properly. The suspension then can be acidified and treated with a flocculant. This agglomerates the solids into a floc that filters with ease. The resulting calcium thiosulfate is a clear liquid with concentrations achievable up to 29%.
