Patent GB-0207431-D0 (GB)
Title: Signal analysis system
IPC: G01N21/45
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: A method for detecting perturbation of a physical system from a reference state associated with a reference parameter (omega<SUB>0</SUB>) to a perturbed state associated with a perturbed parameter (omega) includes firstly deriving the reference parameter (omega<SUB>0</SUB>). A reference vector (F) is then derived which describes the system's state at the reference parameter (omega<SUB>0</SUB>). A measurement-related vector (Z) associated with a perturbed state of the system is then subtracted from the reference vector (F) to provide an error vector (E). The error vector members are summed and normalised by division of a summation of elements of a vector (F') representing a derivative (f(omega<SUB>0</SUB>deltaomega)<SUB>e</SUB>) of a reference itself represented by the reference vector (F), the derivative (f(omega<SUB>0</SUB>deltaomega)<SUB>e</SUB>) being evaluated at the reference parameter (omega<SUB>0</SUB>). This provides a result equal to the difference (omega-(omega<SUB>0</SUB>) between the perturbed parameter (omega) and the reference parameter (omega<SUB>0</SUB>).

Patent SE-0000457-D0 (SE)
IPC: B65B55/04
Filed: 2000-02-14
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for sterilizing cartons with vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet radiation on a packaging machine. A partially formed carton is first sprayed at a bottom forming station with a sterilant. Then, the carton is transported to a sterilization station where the carton is sprayed with gaseous hydrogen peroxide thereby allowing the gas to condense on the packaging material. The carton is then conveyed to a UV radiation source for irradiation of the packaging material. The carton is then dried with heated air to flush/remove any residual hydrogen peroxide. The present invention sterilizes the carton allowing for filling of the packaging material with a desired product such as milk, juice or water. The invention allows for the efficacious use of hydrogen peroxide having a concentration of up to 53% while providing a packaging material having less than 0.5 ppm hydrogen peroxide. The method and apparatus of the present invention allows for the fabrication of a shelf-stable food product.
