Title: Method for manufacturing tamper evident reclosable plastic bags
Inventor: SCHNEIDER JOHN H
IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 2002-06-07
Granted: 2006-10-17
Abstract: The method of forming a tamper-evident plastic bag or similar container includes providing a zipper with interlocking first and second profiles with respective first and second flanges. The second flange is longer than the first flange. A distal portion (with respect to the interlocking elements of the profiles) of the second flange is sealed to the web thereby forming a transport seal to carry the zipper with the web through a form, fill and seal machine. At the form fill and seal machine hard seals are formed between the web and the first flange and a proximal portion of the second flange. The transport seal is a peel seal or alternatively the second flange is formed with a frangible section between the distal and proximal portions and the transport seal is a hard seal. In both cases the second flange provides tamper evidence and/or a hermetic barrier for the completed bag.

Granted: 2008-12-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of correcting errors in film dosimetry measurements arising from variations in radiographic film processing and manufacturing. The method includes: (1) irradiating separate and distinct areas of one or more calibration films wit h different radiation dose levels to obtain a first calibration; (2) exposing a non-irradiated portion of at least one (and typically all) of the calibration films to light from an array of standardized light sources to obtain a first optical density step gradient; (3) exposing a non-irradiated portion of subsequent test films to light from the array of standardized lig ht sources to obtain a second optical density step gradient; and (4) modifying the first calibration or optical density values of the test films based on differences between the first and second optical density step gradients. Since the characteristics of each of the standardized light sources vary little from one exposure to the next, any deviations in the optical density step gradient among different films results, presumably, from changes in film processing or differences in film chemistry.
