Patent number: 7698098Abstract: An unknown spectrum obtained from infrared or other spectroscopy can be compared to spectra in a reference library to find the best matches. The best match spectra can then each in turn be combined with the reference spectra, with the combinations also being screened for best matches versus the unknown spectrum. These resulting best matches can then also undergo the foregoing combination and comparison steps. The process can repeat in this manner until an appropriate stopping point is reached, for example, when a desired number of best matches are identified, when some predetermined number of iterations has been performed, etc. This methodology is able to return best-match spectra (and combinations of spectra) with far fewer computational steps and greater speed than if all possible combinations of reference spectra are considered.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2008Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Thermo Electron Scientific Instruments LLCInventors: Gary L. Ritter, William J. McCarthy, Kathleen A. Larson, Alexander I. Grenov, Federico Izzia

Patent number: 5464097Abstract: A package for liquid concentrates comprises an outer container (1) and an inner water-soluble or water-dispersible envelope (3) containing the concentrate. The container (1) has a shock absorbing base formed by joining a base-part (9) to the main body-part (8) with an S-shaped or corrugated strip (10), thus providing a flexible connection allowing relative movement between the base-part (9) and main body-part (8). The container (1) is sealed with a removable foil lid (2) and is tapered towards its bottom and has a wide neck to allow easy exit of the envelope (3).Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1995Date of Patent: November 7, 1995Assignee: May & Baker LimitedInventors: David B. Edwards, William J. McCarthy, Alan J. Aldred, Anthony D. Jackman
