A traceable device and procedure suitable for investigating gastrointestinal motility disorders by measuring transit time of the device as it is passed through the gastrointestinal tract of a patient. The device includes a core material configured to be imaged with a gamma imaging process and optionally also an x-ray imaging process, and a sealing material substantially insoluble in gastrointestinal fluids and fully encapsulating the core material.

A method of producing a fibre composite component having an elastomer seal disposed on a top side at the edge in annular manner around an opening, includes: providing a first, laminar semifinished product having fibres preimpregnated with a first thermoset, incompletely crosslinked matrix material; applying a sealing compound to a particular deposition region at a top side of the first semifinished product so as to form a semifinished composite product including the first semifinished product and the sealing compound applied, the sealing compound being formed by an elastomeric semifinished product; and extrusion-forming the semifinished composite product to give the fully crosslinked fibre composite component having the elastomer seal. The fibre composite component results from crosslinking of the first semifinished product, and the elastomer seal from crosslinking of the sealing compound. The fibre composite component and the elastomer seal are cohesively bonded to one another by a common extrusion-forming operation.

A seal and method of forming a seal for a resealable container includes a removable cap that is selectively received over a pour opening formed in a can body. A seal is adhered to the end wall of the cap and includes a continuous, first axial region extending outwardly from the inner surface of the cap. The seal first region is dimensioned for engagement with the opening in the container and sealing the container along an inner diameter thereof. Reduced on-torque/off-torque are required since the seal is formed on the inner diameter, and a down force is substantially reduced to assemble the cap to the container.

A valve unit includes a flow path member having an opening surface that has a flow path opening of a liquid flow path, a valve having a sealing surface configured to seal the flow path opening, and a sealing member disposed on one of a peripheral portion of the flow path opening in the opening surface and a portion of the sealing surface facing the peripheral portion. The sealing surface is configured to be moved forward and backward relative to the opening surface to open and close the flow path opening. The sealing member is configured to be in contact with the peripheral portion of the flow path opening and the sealing surface when the valve is closed. The sealing member includes a fluorinated polyether.

A mounting device for a sub-frame may include a mounting bracket positioned to correspond with a one side penetration opening formed at a front side inside member of the front side member, a reinforce panel provided to an upper surface of the front side inside member, a mounting bolt separated with a bolt part and a head by a flange which is positioned at a center thereof, joined to a circumference of a bolt opening of the mounting bracket through the flange on a state that the bolt part is inserted into the bolt opening of the mounting bracket, and joined on a state that the head is wedged through the penetration opening of the front side inside member to the welding opening of the reinforce panel, and a foam filler foamed by a heat treatment and filled in a space formed by the front side inside member, the mounting bracket, the reinforce panel, and a front side outside member.
