Abstract: A treated paper product is provided according to the invention. The treated paper product comprises a result of applying a water based emulsion to a paper base sheet to provide an impregnated paper product, and drying the impregnated paper product to a water content of less than about 8 wt. % to provide the treated paper product. The water based emulsion includes a barrier and/or release forming component comprising at least one of stearylated melamine, polyethylene wax, paraffin wax, isoparaffin wax, microcrystalline wax, fluoropolymer wax, silicone wax, alkyl ketene materials, octyl succinic anhydride, Werner chrome complex, natural wax, and mixtures thereof. The water based emulsion can have a solids content of between about 2 wt. % and about 50 wt. % when it is applied to the paper base sheet. Methods for manufacturing and using the treated paper product, and a combination food and treated paper product are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to the application of the measurement of constituent concentrations of chemical based products typically having covalent bonding. Such constituent products may be fat, moisture, protein, and the like typically in liquid form or colloid suspensions. More specifically, the invention is directed toward an NIR analyzer with multiple detectors with no moving parts. The invention utilizes thermal control in conjunction with normalization algorithms to allow parallel processing of the measurements between a reference and at least one sample, which may provide more accurate results. In addition, this invention has the ability to use NIR in the third overtone and allows insitu processing, with no waste stream.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for use with a video fluoroscope generating a video output signal in NTSC video format and a video endoscope generating a video output signal in RGB video format. The two video output signals are input into a photo archiving computer video component for archiving and storing still video images on a suitable storage medium. The photo archiving computer is capable of operating in either RGB mode, in which it is capable of processing video signals in RGB video format, or in NTSC video mode, in which it is capable of processing video signals in NTSC video format. The photo archiving computer has a keyboard associated with it and is responsive to a predetermined keyboard sequence for selecting from between RGB and NTSC video modes for operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for initiating a responsive signal to a predetermined processing condition. The method relies upon generating sufficient processing data about a desired processing condition to establish a processing profile reflective of the condition. The predetermined processing condition is indexed or inputted onto the profile which, in turn, allows for automatically initiating the signal when subsequent processes achieve the indexed condition. The method is particularly applicable for determining a proper curding point in a cheese manufacture using a control computer to store and compare an indexed processing profile with an on-going plant run.
