Patent number: 7544961Abstract: Methods and apparatus for evaluating the quality of a sample of a product, an ingredient, an environment or process by measuring multiple parameters thereof, including light emitted from a reacting sample containing ATP, ADP, alkaline phosphatase or other parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity, reduction potential, dissolved gases, specific ions, and microbiological count. The apparatus comprises an integrated sample testing device used to collect a sample, mix reagents, react the sample, and collect it in a measurement chamber. The apparatus also comprises an instrument having a photon detection assembly for use with the sample testing device. The instrument can also comprise one or more sensing probes and a communication port to facilitate data collection, transfer and analysis.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: BioControl Systems, Inc.Inventors: Philip T. Feldsine, Tim A. Kelly, Jim Christensen, Joseph B. Di Carlo, Mark Andersen, Anita Kressner

Patent number: 7278545Abstract: The invention concerns a fitment apparatus which includes: a flange having first opening; at least one projection assembly containing at least one second opening in which the projection assembly is attached to the flange such that said first opening and said second opening form a channel; and at least one engagement structure mounted on the projection assembly for detachably securing the fitment apparatus to an interface. The invention also concerns an interchangeable fitment system which includes: a container; and an interface detachably engaged to the container in which the interface has a notch having predetermined dimensions for receiving a first fitment apparatus and a second fitment apparatus. The first and second fitment apparatuses each have an opening corresponding to the predetermined dimensions in which the perimeter of the opening of the second fitment apparatus is not equal to the perimeter of the opening of the first fitment apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2002Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: CHEP Technology Pty LimitedInventors: Sonny Costin, Joseph R.
