  • Publication number: 20200072736
    Abstract: Systems and processes for which containers are placed to detect contamination more effectively than current practices may be provided. This may be done using a combination of imaging techniques. Specifically, one approach combines UV, visible, and IR images to enhance the contrast of contamination in sealed pharmaceutical containers. The images may be further enhanced through the use of a flash of heat. The use of resonance to manipulate the vial contents may be further used. These approaches may be combined with mechanical motion so that the material inside the container is turned over in a way to expose the potential contamination. In some embodiments the orientation of the sealed container may be positioned to maximize the surface area and inspection volume of the material under investigation.

  • Patent number: 8919741
    Abstract: A fence includes a plurality of bases, each base having a body having a floor, a top wall, side walls and end walls defining an interior chamber; a first projection extending from one of the end walls and having a top wall; and a second projection extending from another one of the end walls and having a bottom wall; wherein the bottom wall of the second projection and the top wall of the first projection are both configured to receive a pole and wherein the first projection of a first base of the bases can overlap the second projection of a second base of the bases when the floor of the first and second bases are resting on a common surface. The fence further includes a plurality of poles, each inserted into and maintained erect by one of the bases; and a mesh fencing material tensioned between the poles.
