Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of sterilizing and/or sanitizing a container using a sterilant vapor such as hydrogen peroxide. The sterilant vapor is discharged through a nozzle positioned in an opening of the container and the container is then purged of the discharged sterilant using a heated gas such as sterile air. The nozzle is preferably positioned no closer than 15 mm from the bottom surface or any internal surface of the container and within 1/6 to 5/6 of the height of the container. The nozzle has a diameter no greater than one-half of the diameter of the opening of the container. When containers made of non-heat set PET are used, the temperatures of the sterilant vapor and the purge gas are preferably no greater than 160° F.

Abstract: In packaging 10 comprising three layers of material 14, 16, 18 adhered together, the middle layer 16 has at east one portion 20 removed, defining a void inside the packaging. The three layers are the same size and shape. Partial cut-lines 22 extend width layers through all layers, at the edge of the packaging, to aid opening. A further perforation 32 may be applied to the two outer layers, substantially bridging the gap between the outer cuts. The first layer of the packaging is initially not completely joined to the middle layer, and can be folded back about a fold line 44 , to allow insertion of an object before closing. A tapered gap 56 maybe provided in the edge of the middle layer, connecting to the removed portion. One of the outer layers 14, 18 may be provided with a printed, perforated portion, overlying the void space in the middle layer. A method of producing said packaging comprises removing at least a portion from one of three layers, and laminating or bonding the layers together with said altered layer in the middle. The three layers may be provided as a single blank, and folded to position them on top of one another, the blank being pre-cut with the removed portion of the middle layer.

Abstract: Silica and boron are particularly removed at high rate in processing by the electrodeionization apparatus. An electrodeionization apparatus has an anolyte compartment 17 having an anode 11, a catholyte compartment 18 having a cathode 12, concentrating compartments 15, and desalting compartments 16. The concentrating compartments 15 and the desalting compartments 16 are alternately formed between the anolyte compartment 17 and the catholyte compartment 18 by alternately arranging a plurality of anion-exchange membranes 13 and a plurality of cation-exchange membranes 14. The desalting compartments 16 and the concentrating compartments 15 are filled with ion-exchanger. The anion exchanger/cation exchanger volume ratio is 8/2 to 5/5. Electrode water flows into the anolyte compartment 17 and the catholyte compartment 18. Concentrated water is introduced into the concentrating compartments 15. Raw water is fed into the desalting compartment 16 to produce the deionized water from the desalting compartment 16. Water containing silica or boron at a lower concentration than the raw water is introduced into the concentrating compartments 15 as the concentrated water in a direction from a side near an outlet for the deionized water toward a side near an inlet for the raw water of the desalting compartments 16.

Abstract: The present invention thus provides a fabric-laminated plastic part and a novel process where the fabric edges are covered with a second plastic component that adheres both to the fabric and to the first plastic material. A first plastic substrate component is prepared with an adhered fabric surface area and then the edges of the fabric are overlapped by a second molded-on, plastic edge-covering component. The second material covers the fabric edge to provide an aesthetically pleasing surface. This construction produces a more durable fabric edge covering and eliminates the tendency of the fabric to peel off the molded part during use.
