Abstract: Microwave cooking packages suitable for use as microwave popcorn packages include at least one panel (e.g., first and second panels) formed of a vertically rigid material. A flexible portion is attached to the panels. The flexible portion may be formed of a polyester film material such as a biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, which may be at least partially transparent. The flexible portion (and panels) defines a bag construction configured to contain a popcorn charge and to be expandable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration when the popcorn charge is subjected to a popping operation. The microwave cooking package may include a vent assembly configured to at least partially open when the bag configuration is in an expanded configuration to vent the bag construction. The vent assembly includes a first portion a second portion of the bag construction that is configured to be folded against the first portion.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for transferring chemical solutions and synthesizing a tracer. For transferring chemical solutions, the system comprises a primary container; a secondary container; a first line in communication with the primary container and the secondary container. The first line facilitates the flow of gas and/or liquid between the primary container and the secondary container. A valve located upstream of the secondary container and downstream of the primary container regulates flow within the first line; a second line in communication with the secondary container. For synthesizing a tracer, the system includes a source of a solution having a radionuclide. A first container has a tracer precursor and is in communication with the source of solution.

Abstract: A method of forming reinforced packages. The method can comprise forming an attached web by adhering a blank to a web of material and moving the attached web in a downstream direction through at least a tube forming assembly and a carton forming assembly. The method also can comprise at least partially forming a tube by folding at least a portion of the web of material as the attached web moves through the tube forming assembly, forming a reinforcement sleeve by folding at least a portion of the blank so that the reinforcement sleeve extends at least partially around the tube as the attached web moves through the carton forming assembly, and forming a reinforced package comprising the reinforcement sleeve and a tube portion by separating the tube portion from a remainder of the tube, the reinforcement sleeve being adhered to the tube portion.

Abstract: A method of forming reinforced packages. The method can comprise moving a blank in a machine direction on a blank conveyor, and forming a tubular web while moving a first web of material and a second web of material in the machine direction. The forming the tubular web can comprise at least partially sealing at least a portion of the first web and the second web together to form a sealed margin of the tubular web. The method further can comprise forming a liner by cutting the tubular web, forming an attached blank by attaching the liner to the blank, and moving the attached blank in the machine direction on the blank conveyor.

Abstract: A method of sealing reinforced packages. The method can comprise moving an open-ended package in a downstream direction on a package conveyor by engaging the open-ended package with a chain flight of the package conveyor moving in the downstream direction. The method further can comprise forming a bag with a closed end by engaging at least a seal portion of a tail section of an open-ended tube portion of the open-ended package between the chain flight of the package conveyor and a hot plate positioned adjacent the package conveyor. The chain flight can move with the tail section in the downstream direction relative to the hot plate, which can transfer thermal energy to the tail section to at least partially form a seal along the seal portion in the tail section to at least partially form the closed end of the bag.

Abstract: A system and method of at least partially forming reinforced packages. The method comprises moving a construct in a machine direction on a construct conveyor. The construct conveyor can comprise a primary lug belt with a primary lug, the construct can be disposed on the primary lug belt, and the moving the construct can comprise moving the primary lug belt in the machine direction to push the construct in the machine direction.

The reinforcing strips and bags are brought into registration and are adhesively attached to form the reinforced bags.

Abstract: A container for holding a food product includes a bottom wall, a side wall, and a flange extending from the side wall. The bottom wall, the side wall, and the flange include a base layer, and the bottom wall and the side wall cooperate to at least partially define a cavity of the container. The container also includes an interior surface at least partially forming the cavity, an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and an edge at the flange that extends between the interior surface and the exterior surface. A coating at least partially covers the base layer and at least partially defines the interior surface, and the edge includes an uncoated portion of the base layer. A protective strip covers the edge and prevents fluid from passing into the uncoated portion of the base layer at the edge.
