  • Publication number: 20250033837
    Abstract: A food container includes a main plastic body terminating in an upper rim having a ledge portion, a resealable cap configured to seal against the ledge portion when snap-connected to the upper rim and an externally visible tamper indicator integrated into the container body below the upper rim. The cap includes an opening tab which, upon initially opening the container, is lifted to break one or more frangible connections with the tamper indicator. When the food container cap is presented for sale, the tamper indicator is clearly visible to a consumer. When the cap is completely removed, the tamper indicator radially projects from the container body. The cap can be used to selectively reseal the main body upon seating the seal portion on the ledge portion and snap-connecting the cap to the upper rim.

  • Publication number: 20070044979
    Abstract: A combination fire detection and fire suppression system may include a fire detection system configured to detect an undesirably high temperature associated with an area. The fire detection system may include a temperature sensor including a temperature sensor array and a fire alerting system associated with the temperature sensor. The fire alerting system may be configured to receive information from the temperature sensor and generate a warning signal based on an undesirably high temperature associated with the area. The fire detection system may include a fire control panel configured to receive the warning signal. The system may also include a fire suppression system including a fire suppressant delivery system configured to provide at least one fire suppressant agent to the area associated with the undesirably high temperature.
