A stenting ring made of a tube or rolled-up sheet that has a characteristic wall thickness. The ring defines a lumen and is equipped with at least one marker made of a material different from that of the ring. The ring is expansible from a radially compact disposition with a relatively small circumference to a radially expanded disposition with a relatively large circumference. The ring exhibits in the compact disposition a serpentine arrangement of succeeding struts lying in alternate opposite directions to the longitudinal axis of the lumen. The marker has a thickness in the radial direction of the ring that is less than the characteristic wall thickness, and has a width that extends circumferentially around an arc of the ring. The marker is attached to the ring at a zone located at a point intermediate in the extent of said arc. The marker overlaps with a respective one of said struts, at each end of its circumferential arc, when the ring is in the compact disposition, the respective struts moving away from each other, and from the marker, when the ring expands towards said radially expanded disposition.

A ball-and-socket joint has a pivot pin accommodated rotatably and tiltably with a spherical joint area in a bearing shell. The bearing shell is in turn arranged in the recess of a joint housing. A closing ring fixes the bearing shell in the joint housing in the axial longitudinal direction of the pivot pin by at least one surface pair. Corresponding to a first solution variant, an intermediate element made of an elastic material may be arranged between the corresponding contact surfaces of the surface pair on the bearing shell and the closing ring. As an alternative an insert element may be arranged between the outer contour of the bearing shell and the bottom area of the recess, wherein at least one intermediate element made of an elastic material is arranged between the outer surface of the insert element and the corresponding inner surface of the recess. The requirement imposed on the dimensional accuracy of the ball-and-socket joint components can be substantially reduced due to these solution variants, which contributes to a reduction of the manufacturing costs.

A method of manufacturing a filled aerofoil component (100) for a gas turbine engine (10) comprises using a capping panel (200) to cover a pocket (310) in a pocketed aerofoil body (300). During manufacture, a pre-formed filler insert (400) is provided to support the capping panel (200) in the correct position. This ensures that the outer surface of the capping panel (200) is located as accurately as possible. This means that the capping panel (200) can be made to be as thin as possible, which in turn reduces weight and material wastage. The pre-formed filler insert (400) provides a lightweight core for the finished aerofoil component in use.

An x-ray tube casing is provided which includes a central frame having internal passages to supply a cooling fluid directly to the casing without the need for an external dedicated heat exchanger. The cooling fluid flowing through the passages in the easing can thermally contact the dielectric coolant within the casing to cool the tube coolant during operation of the x-ray tube.

A closure system for a drinking bottle or other container is disclosed. The closure system comprises a bottle and a bottle closure. The bottle closure, in turn, comprises among its components a cap interface manipulated directly by the user's hand, a platform that translates vertically in relation to the cap interface, and a flexible annular stopper body directly manipulated by the platform. When the bottle closure is placed on the open bottle neck and the cap interface is pushed downward toward the bottom of the bottle, a lever-based mechanism forces opposite upward movement of the platform. The platform squeezes the stopper body, and at the end of the downward pushing motion, the system is locked in a static position. The squeezed stopper body forms a liquid-tight seal with the bottle, while holding potential energy via elastic deformation. From this sealed position, the cap interface may be radially twisted relative to the bottle, releasing the locked platform and the stopper's potential energy. As the stopper gains its original shape, simultaneously the liquid-tight seal is removed, the cap interface moves upward, and the platform moves downward. The loosened bottle closure may now be separated from the bottle.
