Abstract: The invention concerns a dispensing and closure system arranged at the top of a container, in particular a soft tube comprising a liquid or pasty product, which is delivered by pressing on the tube. The invention is characterized in that it consists of a valve comprising two concentric elements, one of which forms a mobile cylindrical delivery valve and the other forms a cylindrical body exiting from a plate linked to the tube. The two elements defined between them an annular gap through which the product passes. When a manual pressure is exerted on the tube, it causes the product to act directly on the delivery valve causing the latter to open, countering an elastic return member, so as to allow the product to escape from the tube, when the pressure is exerted thereon and to automatically close the delivery valve when the pressure is released, preventing the possible return of the product already dispensed from returning inside the tube.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lithographic printing method which performs lithographic printing with emulsion ink as it is supplied from an ink fountain which is a reservoir of the emulsion ink to a lithographic printing plate, comprising the steps of: computing amounts of consumption of ink and aqueous components of the emulsion ink on the basis of a percent image area of the lithographic printing plate; and replenishing the ink fountain with at least one member of the group consisting of the ink component, the aqueous component and the emulsion ink in accordance with the computed amounts of consumption of the ink and aqueous components. By the lithographic printing method of the present invention, the problems that accompany the process of lithographic printing with emulsion ink, such as scumming which results from high consumption of the aqueous component, as well as faint image density, waterlogging due to over-emulsification and the like which result from low consumption of the aqueous component can be prevented and one can produce high-quality printed matter that is free from any deterioration in image quality on account of those problems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: At least some of the defective preforms (V) are heated (2). They are not eliminated (3) until after heating.  Defective preforms capable of being heated without difficulty, are not separated until after heating. Only defective preforms likely to cause problems during heating, are separated first.

Abstract: A male sexual impotence treatment apparatus includes an elongate adjustable constriction member extending in a loop around a male patient's penile tissue or the prolongation thereof. An adjustment device adjusts the longitudinal extension of the constriction member in the loop to temporarily constrict the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof to restrict the penile exit blood flow to achieve erection. A layer of a soft viscoelastic material is applied on the constriction member such that it is located between the constriction member and the patient's penile tissue or the prolongation thereof at least along a portion of the constriction member to protect the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof from being eroded by the constriction member. The layer has an inwardly directed radial extension in the loop such that, when the adjustment device is operated to decrease the longitudinal extension of the constriction member in the loop, the soft layer is forced to expand radially inwardly in the loop causing a corresponding increased constriction of the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof.

Abstract: A control circuit for controlling an electron-emitting device is formed to draw, with a voltage applied, an excitation current being related to a number of electrons emitted. The inventive control circuit includes a first determinator for determining whether an amount of charge transported by the excitation current has reached a predetermined charge threshold value, a second determinator for determining whether a magnitude of the excitation current has reached a predetermined current threshold value, and a switch for switching off the excitation current as soon as the first determinator determines that the amount of charge has reached a predetermined charge threshold value, or as soon as the second determinator determines that the magnitude of the excitation current is smaller than the predetermined current threshold value. The control circuit allows the usage of, for example, CNT arrays for irradiation and operates on the basis of the current drawn by the electron-emitting device, which makes possible a simple setup.
