In the present invention, a manufacturing process is provided in which a complete multi-component synthetic closure is achieved which incorporates printed indicia formed thereon, in a continuous, in-line manufacturing operation. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the core member of the synthetic closure is formed by a continuous extrusion process which enables the core to be manufactured as an elongated, continuous length of material. As the continuous elongated length of extruded material forming the central core is advanced from the extruder towards an outer skin forming station, the central core passes through a printing station for forming any desired indicia on the outer surface of the central core prior to the application of the outer skin layer.

A conformable paste comprising porous agglomerates of carbon black dispersed in a paste-forming vehicle is disclosed. The paste is useful as an interface material for improving the thermal contact between two proximate solid surfaces, such as the surfaces of a heat source and a heat sink. Upon compression between the two solid surfaces, the paste forms a material that enhances the thermal contact between said surfaces. This invention also discloses a conformable interface material which, upon compression between two proximate solid surfaces, forms a material that enhances the thermal contact between said surfaces. This interface material comprises (i) a sheet and (ii) a conformable, spreadable and thermally conductive paste on each of the two opposite sides of the sheet, said paste comprising porous agglomerates of carbon black dispersed in a paste-forming vehicle. In addition, a method of providing a thermal contact between two solid surfaces is disclosed. This method comprises disposing between and in contact with said surfaces a material comprising: a conformable, spreadable and thermally conductive paste comprising porous agglomerates of carbon black dispersed in a paste-forming vehicle, and applying a pressure to cause said material to conform to the topography of said surfaces.

By achieving an extruded, foamed core formed from plastic material peripherally surrounded and integrally bonded with a plurality of cooperating synthetic, plastic, extruded, outer layers, a unique, multi-component, multi-layer synthetic closure is provided which may be employed as a bottle closure or stopper for any desired product, whether the product is a liquid, a viscous material, or a solid distributed in a bottle or container and dispensed through the open portal of the container neck. The present invention achieves a mass producible, resilient, synthetic bottle closure which is employable for any desired bottle, including wine. By employing the present invention, a multi-component or multi-layer synthetic closure is attained which possesses physical properties substantially equal to or better than the physical properties found in cork material, which has caused such cork material to be the principal closure material for wine bottles.

There are provided methods and systems for responding to information requests from users of personal communication devices, such as mobile telephones and more particularly cellular telephones. In one embodiment, information requests issued from a plurality of user's cellular telephones are received and processed at a central host site. Processing comprises parsing the user requests to determine the content and category type of the request and retrieving relevant content configured as a sequence of images (frames), referred to as a “video strip”. When a user plays back a video strip on his or her personal communication device, the sequence of images appear on the user's display as a sequence of still images, played back at a slow rate, unlike conventional movie playback frame rates. When viewing a video strip, a viewer may stop, start, and pause the video strip. Pausing playback of a video strip enables the user to easily peruse the contents of each video strip frame.

Methods and apparatus are provided for copying data from a primary storage facility to a secondary storage facility which reduce the workload on the storage controller in the primary facility and minimize bandwidth usage. The primary storage facility includes a primary data replication appliance which transfers data to a secondary replication appliance. Updated data from a host is both stored through a storage controller in the primary facility and also received by the primary replication appliance. Logic in the primary replication appliance determines whether the immediately previous version of the data is in a buffer from a previous storage operation. If so, the current (updated) version of the data is compared with the previous version and the difference, such as calculated through a bit-wise exclusive-OR operation, is transferred to the secondary replication appliance. The process is reversed in the secondary replication appliance and the recreated updated version of the data stored in the secondary facility.

There is provided a container (1) for medical use forming a closed compartment (17) for carrying a liquid. The container (1) comprises a flexible side wall (5), a rigid top portion (4) and a rigid bottom portion (3). In the top portion (4) there is at least one through-hole. The side wall (5), the top (4) and bottom (3) portions together form a compartment (17). Inside the compartment (17), a flexible tube (5) is arranged with one end (21) in fluid communication with a though-hole (12) in the top portion (4). A second end (19) of the tube is connected to the bottom portion (3) via a snap-in connection (18). Liquid from the inside of the container (1) may be withdrawn by pressurizing the compartment (17) in which liquid is stored, when in use. The container (1) is reversible folded and unfolded for convenient filling and storing of the container (1). The container (1) is adapted for use in an irrigation system, and preferably a system for rectal irrigation.
