Abstract: A flat-top, hermetically sealed, paperboard-based container and apparatus and method of making it are set forth. The paperboard-based container includes a rectangular sleeve having upper end sections joined at fold lines with side walls. The upper end sections are divided into inner and outer opposed pairs which are folded toward one another in an overlapping manner to form a generally flat end for the container. Each of the inner and outer opposed sections includes a cutout. When the upper end sections are folded in and overlapping manner, the cutouts define an aperture having edges that include exposed paperboard substrate. Each of the inner pair of opposed end sections are divided along fold lines into a middle region and laterally opposed side regions. The laterally opposed side regions are folded onto the middle region and are sandwiched between the middle region and the outer pair of opposed sections when folded to form the container top. One of the outer pair of opposed upper end sections is longer than the other so that the longer outer end section overlaps exterior to the shorter of the outer pair of opposed upper end sections. An opening fitment is disposed through the aperture and includes a flange at the interior of the container. The flange covers the exposed edges of the aperture. The fitment is preferably a resealable cover, such as a resealable screw-type spout and cap or the like.

Title: A validation engine
Filed: 2006-06-08
Abstract: A method for analyzing image identifications to determine whether image identifications identify an entity (e.g., license plate of a vehicle). Identification sets are received from at least one optical character recognition (OCR) engine. Each identification set includes a character string and an associated confidence level.

Patent GB-8332846-D0 (GB)
Title: Forming image of ocular fundus
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1983-12-08
Abstract: In contrast to techniques currently used such as the fundus camera, the strain to which the patient is exposed during the generation of an image of the ocular fundus is reduced by moving a laser beam across the retina in the form of a scanning raster and by directing the light reflected from the retina through a photoelectric receiver to generate a television image. To achieve a very high resolution, the scanning operation provides at least in the interesting image parts signals which are representative of a greater number of image points than corresponds to the television standard. These image parts are selected sufficiently large to have each point of the raster assigned a separate image signal value when displayed on the television screen. During the time the scanning beam moves within the frame of a selected image part, its intensity is increased for improved image contrast. The apparatus for implementing this image-forming method utilizes at least one polygonal scanner and includes an active image element that cooperates with a sensor to form a closed loop circuit for optical focusing of the image under adaptive control. An electronic shutter is provided to control the intensity of the scanning beam. In addition to the formation of images, the apparatus also permits a measurement to be made of the spatial blood flow distribution in the fundus and of the degree of oxygen saturation of the blood in the retina of the eye under observation.

Title: Infra-red heaters
IPC: H05B3/74
Filed: 1985-06-11
Abstract: An infra-red heater (1) for a glass ceramic top cooker comprises a dish containing a base layer of thermal insulating material. A peripheral wall of thermal insulating material extends around the periphery of the base layer and at least one infra-red lamp (3) extends across the base layer. A ballast device (5) is electrically connected in series with the infra-red lamp, for example in the form of a coil of bare resistance wire, and serves to reduce inrush current to the lamp. A thermal cut-out device (7) cuts off the supply of power to the infra-red lamp and to the ballast device (5) if the temperature of the glass ceramic cooking surface becomes excessive. The coil of bare resistance wire preferably has an electrical resistance which is approximately half the electrical resistance of the infra-red lamp at its operating temperature. The use of a ballast device (5) enables the infra-red lamp (3) to be used in conjunction with a cyclic energy regulator (9).
