(ContentDesk) March 16, 2006 -- Mecmesin has launched a new testing system which will be of considerable interest to the packaging industry.A child-resistant package can be described as one sealed in such a manner that it can be opened only by a person with a combination of dexterity, co-ordination, strength and experience well within the capabilities of a legitimate user, but beyond the capacity of a small child. One example of such a package is a container with a Type 1A closure (see ASTM D3472-97), i.e. a screw cap which requires a simultaneous pushing and twisting action before opening is possible. Closures of this type are in widespread use for protecting children from: paints, solvents, thinners, household chemicals, adhesives, cleaning fluids, garden chemicals and particularly pharmaceuticals.The Mecmesin child-resistant closure tester is able simultaneously to measure the downward force and the release torque applied to a closure.
This makes it a particularly suitable instrument for identifying designs (or batches) of closures which either present an insufficient challenge to a child, or too great a physical challenge to an elderly or infirm adult.
An operator may apply to a closure both a top-load of up to 500N (110lbf) and a torque of up to 10N.m (90lbf.in). The CRC tester can also measure reverse-ratchet torque, i.e. the torque developed when rotating a closure in a counter-clockwise direction without any top-load being applied.Peak values of force and torque can be downloaded via RS232 output to printers, dataloggers or PCs for subsequent archiving and analysis.# #.

Layer Your Plantings
Part three in a seriesIn our last article, we helped you layout your new landscape. In this article we'll explore which plants to put where and what makes an effective landscape. If you think of your landscape as a stage, you can easily imagine the basics of layout. On a stage, you have a nice background or backdrop in the back. The backdrop is usually large and fills your entire view.
In front of the backdrop, you have some smaller items that set the scene. These may be small pieces of furniture. And then in the very front you have your actors?your stars. They take the front and center to get the most attention. So, looking from back to front, you have your backdrop, your accent pieces, and finally your stars.Laying out a good landscape uses the same principles: we start with a backdrop in the very back, then we add some accents, then finally, our stars!The BackdropThe backdrop can be any number of things but the basic principle is that the backdrop simply serves to show off...
