The base includes a tamper-evident tab and a fixed tab disposed on a flange extending about the base. The tamper-evident tab is joined to the base on opposite ends by a breakable land and a permanent land. The tamper-evident tab is movable by breaking the tamper-evident tab free from the base on one end by breaking the breakable land and bending the tamper-evident tab out of the way about the permanent land to provide access to the peripheral edge of the lid. The tamper-evident tab may include an extension adjacent to the breakable land and the fixed tab may include an extension adjacent to the tamper-evident tab extension opposite the breakable land. | 04-14-2016 |

20150034606 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A COMPONENT - An additive layer manufacture machine generates a first electron beam for scanning a powder layer to be melted in a selective melting process. Backscatter electrons from the interaction between the first electron beam and the powder layer is detected by a backscatter detector. Any defects in the powder layer can then be identified, or inferred, from the detected backscatter electrons. If necessary, any defects can be removed from the powder layer before selective melting. Once the powder layer has been inspected and if necessary improved, selective melting of the layer is performed in order to produce a layer of the component. The process may be repeated to generate a finished component with good mechanical properties. | 02-05-2015 |
