Abstract: A method for designing or producing a coffee container system includes the step of constructing a sample of a coffee container system, where the container system includes a main container, a lift-off top, and a seal mechanism for the opening between the lift-off top and the container. Thereafter, oxygen ingress into the container system is measured when the lift-off top is in place and the seal mechanism is in operation. A sealing effectiveness of the seal mechanism is then modified to achieve a desired oxygen ingress for the container system, so that container systems housing coffee and having the modified seal mechanism providing the desired oxygen ingress can be manufactured. In addition, a method for retarding oxygen ingress into coffee contained in a container system is provided by infusing the coffee with a high molecular weight gas compatible with the coffee during manufacture of the finished coffee container system.

Abstract: A fiber optic acoustic sensor that detects pressure waves from all incident angles features multiple mandrels orthogonally disposed to provide omni-directional sensing capability. The topology of the mandrels prevents frequency response drop-off characteristic of cylindrical sensors at wavelengths smaller than ? the length of the acoustic cylinder. The larger operating bandwidth and omni-directional sensing capability makes this fiber optic acoustic sensor a suitable choice for a wide range of applications.

Title: Grease resistant formulations
Inventor: BERG MICHAEL C
IPC: C09D101/00
Filed: 2007-09-19
Abstract: Disclosed herein are grease-resistant compositions that can include a cellulose-based polymer and a complementary material. Such compositions can be applied to substrates, such as paper-based materials, to impart enhanced grease/oil resistance. The complementary material can act to provide the composition with enhanced fatigue resistance relative to layers that solely utilize the cellulose-based polymer, and can preferably have limited leaching from the composition. Examples of complementary materials include polymers, such as poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl alcohol), plasticizers, and combinations of these materials. Such compositions can be prepared as a treatment formulation or coating material, which can be dissolved or suspended in a solvent. The compositions may also be melted and applied without a solvent. The formulations can be a water-based system, or an emulsion. The films may be applied to paper products as part of the papermaking process, or as post treatments on a coating machine.
