Abstract: The invention relates to a test device (10) for analysing, more particularly for detecting, non-destructively, pressure and temperature, and preferably for detecting a gas concentration in foodstuffs (50.4) contained in packaging (50), the test device having: —a detection assembly (30) for detecting at least one parameter in a foodstuff (50.4) contained in packaging (50), the parameter being specific to a property to be examined of the foodstuff (50.4). According to the invention, the test device (10) is designed as a hand-held device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the particularly automated measurement of a closing angle of a lid (110) of a container (100) particularly a bottle lid (110) with a screw thread (120) comprising the following steps: a) Positioning of the container (100) and determining of a starting position, b) Turning of the lid (110) from a closing position (I) into the direction of an open position (II) of the lid (110), c) Detection of an open position (II) of the lid (110) and a corresponding open position angle ?, d) Calculation of the closing angle ? of the lid (110) on the basis of the open position angle ? and particularly, a lid parameter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for determining at least one physical, chemical and/or biological characteristic of a liquid medium that has been introduced into a sealable container, said device comprising at least: one measuring head system comprising at least one pressure measuring unit for measuring the pressure of a gaseous medium and/or of the liquid medium present in the container and a temperature measuring unit for measuring the temperature of the gaseous medium and/or of the liquid medium; one movement system, at least for moving the container; and one determination system, at least for determining the physical, chemical and/or biological characteristic of the liquid medium from at least one of the individual values relating to the measured pressure and the measured temperature of the medium.

Abstract: A method for investigating the shelf life of food in packaging. The method includes the following to be carried out: a) creating at least one reference measurement with: a direct and indirect sample measurement at the time, repetition of the direct and indirect sample measurement at predefined intervals of time, storage of the reference measurement results of the sample measurements; creating a comparison measurement with: at least one indirect sample measurement at the time, comparison of the indirect measurement result with the corresponding reference measurement result from the comparison time, performance of at least one direct sample measurement at the time if a deviation of the comparison result from step is exceeded, repetition of the indirect sample measurement at predefined intervals of time, storage of the measurement results of the sample measurements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for establishing a geometry of a container for packaging a flowable medium, wherein a radiation apparatus for generating and emitting at least electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source of the radiation apparatus to a radiation sink of the radiation apparatus along a detection region is activated in order subsequently to rotate and/or swivel the container about an axis of rotation by means of a movement apparatus, wherein, at least from time to time during a rotational movement of the container, at least one container region is moved through at least one portion of the detection region. Then, a detection apparatus is used to detect a passage time of the container region through the detection region, which passage time is evaluated by means of an evaluation apparatus for establishing an external geometry of the container.
