Abstract: A detection system includes: a signal output unit configured to output, to a measurement target, a measurement signal that exhibits a predetermined temporal change; a signal measurement unit configured to measure a response signal, to the measurement signal, from the measurement target; a calculation unit configured to calculate an impulse response of the measurement target, based on a measurement result of the response signal measured by the signal measurement unit; and a detection unit configured to detect abnormality regarding the measurement target, based on the impulse response calculated by the calculation unit.

Abstract: A stretch blow bottle made from a polyester resin composition which comprises: (A) 60 to 99% by weight of a polyethylene terephthalate resin and (B) 1 to 40% by weight of a polyethylene isophthalate resin, wherein 300 square microns of a section exposed by cutting the neck of the bottle contains less than one particle of the polyethylene isophthalate resin (B) having a diameter of 0.1 micron or above in the polyethylene terephthalate resin (A) as the matrix.

Abstract: A bag for packing powder, permeable for gases and comprising a plurality of inwards protrudent hole-forming portions. Preferably, the bag comprises a film having holes (B) of predetermined thickness (d) furnished with protrudent hole-forming portions of predetermined height (h), the height (h) of the protrudent hole-forming portions being in the range of 2 to 200, still preferably 5 to 100, times the thickness (d) of the film having holes (B). By virtue of this structure, the soaring of powder at the time of powder filling can be prevented to thereby facilitate the filling operation. Furthermore, not only is the sticking of powder to seal portion reduced at the time of sealing the mouth of the bag to thereby ensure obtaining satisfactory seal strength but also the environmental pollution by the soaring of powder can be avoided.

Abstract: A bottle molded from a polyester composition comprising 97 to 99.99% by weight of a polyester and 3 to 0.01% by weight of a polyester elastomer, which bottle exhibits dimensional change ratios of not greater than 5% measured in the height direction of the bottle and also not greater than 5% measured in the wall part diameter direction of the bottle and has an overturning angle of at least 10.degree., when the bottle was subjected to a hot bath test in which the bottle is filled with a beverage containing 2.5 gas volume carbon dioxide at 23.degree. C., stoppered and immersed in sealed condition in a hot bath heated at 70.degree. C. Thus, the bottle retains self-standing property without deformation even after it is filled with a carbonated beverage and subjected to heat sterilization.
