An ultrasound coupling gel container is provided and includes a flexible body having front wall, back wall, an outlet end, a planar bottom gusset, and a dispensing assembly. The back wall is positioned adjacent and opposes the front wall. The back wall is sealed to the front wall along a periphery thereof and provides a cavity receiving section. An outlet end is formed from a front wall top section and a back wall bottom section. The planar bottom gusset includes a central portion formed from sealed peripheral edge portions along the front wall and of the back wall. The dispensing assembly is sealed to a peripheral edge of the front wall and of the back wall at the outlet end of the flexible body.

A closure (20, 2GA, 2GB) is provided for a system with an opening. The closure (20, 20A, 20B) has a body (24, 24A, 24B) with an outer end (32, 32B) and a through passage (30, 3GB) for communicating with the system opening. The body (24, 24A, 24B) has a membrane (60, 60B) mitially occluding the through passage (30, 30B). The closure (20, 20A, 20B) has a lid (26, 26A. 26B) to accommodate movement relative to the body (24. 24A, 24B) between a closed position restricting access to the through passage (30, 30B) and an open position permitting greater access to the through passage (30, 30B). The body (24, 24A, 24B) thither has a separation member (70, 7GB) that can be engaged by a user to separate at least a part of the membrane (60, 60B) from the body (24, 24 A. 24B). The separation member (70, 70B) extends away from the membrane (60, 60B) and has a deployed configuration wherein the separation member (70, 70B) projects outwardly beyond the body outer end (32, 32B) when the lid (26, 26A, 26B) is in the open position. The separation member (70. 70B) further has the capability for assuming a stored configuration with the separation member (70, 70B) engaged by the lid (26, 26A, 26B) with the lid (26, 26A, 26B) in the closed position. Resiliency of the separation member (70, 70B) urges the separation member (70, 70B) {acute over (.Math.)}{umlaut over (.Math.)}o.Math. the stored configuration to the deployed configuration when the lid (26, 26A, 26B) is moved from the closed position to the open position.

According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a method of drying a body of grain, comprising storing the body of grain in an elongate bag silo 10, providing at least a first outlet 22 intermediate a first end 16 and a second end 18 of the bag and at least a first and a second inlet (26, 28), situated intermediate the outlet 22 and the first end 16 of the bag. The second inlet 28 is spaced longitudinally further away from the first outlet 22 than the first inlet 26 and the first outlet 22 is the closest outlet to the second inlet 28 in a direction towards the second end 18 of the bag 10. The method further comprises providing a flow of air, between the inlets and the outlet such that a pressure differential between any of the inlets is maintained within a predetermined threshold.

The present disclosure provides a fitment. In an embodiment, a fitment is provided and includes a top portion, a base, and a channel extending through the top portion and the base for passage of a flowable material. The base includes a pair of opposing sidewalls. The sidewalls extend around the channel. The sidewalls are joined together at opposing ends. The fitment further includes at least one sealing rib extending along the sidewalls. The sealing rib includes an ethylene/-olefin multi-block copolymer.

A spout is put between and attached to a pair of plane parts including front and rear surfaces forming a bag body. The spout includes a tube part to which a cap having a tamper-proof ring is attached on its topside, and a first flange and a second flange provided on an outer peripheral surface of the tube part on the side of its base end. The outer diameter of the first flange, which is the topmost, is equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the tamper-proof ring in a front-rear direction of the bag body. This causes the first flange to cover the whole lower part of the tamper-proof ring.

The present disclosure provides a fitment. In an embodiment, a fitment is provided and includes a top portion, a base, and a channel extending through the top portion and the base for passage of a flowable material.
