  • Patent number: 11761845
    Abstract: A process, product, and system for detecting a defective vacuum in a packaged product. The process may include providing a packaged product including a product enclosed within a packaging article. The packaging article may include a film having at least one layer containing a fluorescence-based indicator. The process may further include exposing the packaged product to incident electromagnetic energy to produce an excited fluorescence-based indicator, such that the excited fluorescence-based indicator emits fluorescent electromagnetic energy; and determining, based on the fluorescent electromagnetic energy emitted by the excited fluorescence-based indicator, that gas is present within the packaging article.

  • Publication number: 20220279713
    Abstract: A land preparation apparatus includes a rotatable tool including a body and a plurality of tool assemblies disposed on an outer surface of the body. The land preparation apparatus also includes a housing including a first end, a second end, and a framework extending between the first and second ends. Ends of the rotatable tool are rotatably connected to the first and second ends. The framework has an interior surface that extends along at least a portion of the width of the rotatable tool. The interior surface combines with a periphery of the rotatable tool, the first end, and the second end to define a chamber. The land preparation apparatus also includes one or more chamber inserts releasably attached to the interior surface, wherein at least a portion of each of the one or more chamber inserts resides in the chamber.

  • Patent number: 10367957
    Abstract: A method of providing native scalable management of a fleet of managed devices, which includes establishing a Trust Community, which includes a sub-set of the managed devices, organizing the Trust Community, configuring one of the managed devices in the organized Trust Community as a Root Device to publish files via a file sharing function, adding the Root Device to a distribution profile stored in a database, creating or downloading files via the Root Device, and sharing the files with other devices in the organized Trust Community via the Root Device. Any devices on hold or offline are placed in a temporary working area for reorganizing. Download and install schedules are set up on a per device or a bulk basis according to policies. Files are placed into a staging area before re-distribution and checked for security, integrity, and/or completeness via checksums, digitally signed certificates, and/or internal structure checks.

  • Patent number: 9286634
    Abstract: A method and system (1) for incorporating legacy systems in a service oriented architecture (SOA) includes decoupling legacy system business services from legacy system data services by creating, from the legacy system business services and data services, a set of (e.g. Java WebSphere®) SOA business services (5a-5c) for transactions and (e.g. DB2) stored procedures (7a-7d) for SOA data services. The business services are constructed from one or more data services and the transactional integrity of the transaction is maintained, in use. The stored procedures may be written to a transaction log and a check made to verify that all of the stored procedures from which the business service is constructed have been written to the log.

  • Publication number: 20130156900
    Abstract: A packaged product has an easy-open packaging article surrounding and adhering to a cooked meat product. The packaging article comprises a multilayer film having a first layer that is a seal layer which is an inside layer of the package and a second layer that bonds to the first layer with a bond strength of at least 36 grams per inch. The second layer, or a third layer with the second layer being between the first layer and the third layer, comprises a tear-enhancing component comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of an inorganic filler and an incompatible polymer blend. The layer comprising the filler and/or incompatible polymer blend allows the package to be torn open without delamination occurring between the seal layer and the tie layer.
