Abstract: Disclosed herein are glass pharmaceutical vials having sidewalls of reduced thickness. In embodiments, the glass pharmaceutical vial may include a glass body comprising a sidewall enclosing an interior volume. An outer diameter D of the glass body is equal to a diameter d1 of a glass vial of size X as defined by ISO 8362-1, wherein X is one of 2R, 3R, 4R, 6R, 8R, 10R, 15R, 20R, 25R, 30R, 50R, and 100R as defined by ISO 8362-1. However, the sidewall of the glass pharmaceutical vial comprises an average wall thickness Ti that is less than or equal to 0.85*s1, wherein s1 is a wall thickness of the glass vial of size X as defined by ISO 8362-1 and X is one of 2R, 3R, 4R, 6R, 8R, 10R, 15R, 20R, 25R, 30R, 50R, and 100R as defined by ISO 8362-1.

Abstract: Methods and systems for treating an olefin-containing stream are disclosed. The disclosed methods and systems are particularly suitable for treating an off-gas stream in a refining or petrochemical process, such as from a fluid catalytic cracker (FCC), coker, steam cracker, and the like. The stream is treated in an absorber column to reject lighter stream components and to absorb ethylene and/or propylene into a solvent. The solvent is typically isobutane. The enriched solvent stream from the absorber column is fed to an alkylation reactor, which reacts the dissolved olefin with the isobutane solvent to produce an alkylate product.

Abstract: A process for detecting foreign objects in a food-containing product stream comprises: forwarding the product stream, illuminating the product stream, generating raw data based on electromagnetic energy reflected from the product stream using a camera, and processing the raw data to generate classified image data corresponding with food product, foreign object(s), and background. A system for detecting foreign objects in the product stream comprises a forwarding device, an illuminator, a camera, and instructions in memory that form image data and classify the data as corresponding with food product, foreign objects, and background.

Abstract: An automated process assesses an amount of meat remaining on a trimmed animal carcass by generating image data of the carcass and processing the image data in a computer to calculate the amount of meat remaining on the carcass. The automated process can be carried out using an equation developed by counting pixels in an area of interest in images of a plurality of reference trimmed carcasses from which the remaining meat is thereafter scraped and weighed, to produce data points used to develop the equation which is then used to calculate the amount of meat remaining on a trimmed carcass as it proceeds down a processing line.

Abstract: An emergency notification system and method that is operable to provide a technique for a user to transmit an emergency signal request wherein the emergency signal request is transmitted to a 911 operations center, registered EMS providers, and at least one named contact identified by the user transmitting the emergency signal request simultaneously. The emergency notification system includes a server database having control software and further includes a software application for mobile devices. The emergency notification system is operable to receive and store relevant medical data for each of the registered users of the system wherein the medical data is transmitted to emergency medical service providers during the transmission of the emergency signal request. A customized notification message is additionally sent to a predefined list of contacts during the emergency signal request.
