The present invention relates to a kit comprising: a) a bag having an outlet, the outlet being closable and openable; b) a solid and/or liquid active agent precursor; and c) means for releasing a gaseous active agent or a gaseous active agent mixture from the active agent precursor; a method for producing a gaseous active agent or a gaseous active agent mixture comprising the steps: a) providing the kit; b) providing the solid and/or liquid active ingredient precursor in the bag; and c) releasing the gaseous active ingredient or the gaseous active ingredient mixture from the solid and/or liquid active ingredient precursor with the aid of the means for releasing a gaseous active ingredient or a gaseous active ingredient mixture, and a gaseous composition obtainable by the process.

A tablet press for producing tablets including: a press chamber, a receiving chamber, a first material container having the first active substance with a first dosing device, a controller, and an input device. The press chamber has an extendable upper punch, an extendable lower punch, and a die. The input device inputs a target indicating a number of produced tablets and a target mass indicating a quantity of the first active substance and transmits the target number and the target mass to the controller. The controller actuates the first dosing device, the upper punch, and the lower punch such that a quantity of the first active substance that corresponds to the target mass is filled into a central opening of the die and pressed by the punches to form a tablet, and to repeat until the target number of tablets are produced.

Compaction systems and methods of compacting components are provided. In one aspect, a laminate of a component can be laid up on a tool of a compaction system. The laminate defines a cavity. A noodle is positioned relative to or in the cavity. A noodle ring is then positioned relative to the noodle. For instance, the noodle ring can be placed over the noodle. A cross section of the noodle ring can be shaped complementary to a cross section of the noodle. A plunger of the compaction system is moved so that it engages the noodle ring. Particularly, the plunger is moved in such a way that a force is applied on the noodle ring so that the noodle ring compacts the noodle into the cavity.

There is provided a method for manufacturing a method for manufacturing an optical element, wherein a mold-press molding is performed by use of a material body having a prismatic shape to form a light transmission part and a flange of the optical element, the flange extending outward from the light transmission part. In the manufacturing method, only a corner of the material body to be subjected to a mold transfer to provide an edge face of the flange.

A shaping method of a solid cosmetic material and a solid cosmetic container filled with the solid cosmetic material, in which a solid cosmetic material used by grinding an upper surface thereof is solidified to fill an inner container of a cosmetic container with an extra space so that the solid cosmetic material does not come into close contact with an inner surface of the inner container of the cosmetic container, a cosmetic material plate on which the cosmetic material is seated is smoothly guided in an up-down direction, and the upper surface of the solid cosmetic material is smoothly cut as a portion of the cosmetic container is rotated so that the solid cosmetic material is discharged by a predetermined amount. An upper surface of the cosmetic material is maintained flat.
