Liquid Food Cartons

Misleading sputum cartons.

Waxed paper sputum cartons obtained from the manufacturers contained very few organisms. Similar cartons which had been stored in hospital wards were often contaminated with hospital dust. This contamination was sometimes sufficiently marked to be misleading. Coliform organisms are particularly liable to cause confusion. Waxed cartons are useful for collecting sputum, but they must be properly ...

Folding Cartons with Fixtures: A Motion Planning Approach

Packaging products such as telephones and two-way radios after assembly is a common manufacturing task. Carton folding is a packaging operation performed by human operators or with fixed automation. We present a flexible method to fold cardboard cartons using fixtures; a carton blank is folded by moving it through a fixture with a robot. This method of using interchangeable fixtures enables rap...

The Measurement of Carried Cartons using Multiple Kinect Sensors

We propose a system to measure the dimensions of carton boxes carried on a conveyer belt with an accuracy of 5mm, required in logistic applications. Our system estimates the dimensions through a series of depth images with relatively low resolution taken by unsynchronized multiple sensors. To achieve the accuracy, we first obtain the dimensions via the distance between parallel planes instead o...

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in food safety.

The use of powerful mass spectrometric detectors in combination with liquid chromatography has played a vital role to solve many problems related to food safety. Since this technique is especially well suited for, but not restricted to the analysis of food contaminants within the food safety area, this review is focused on providing an insight into this field. The basic legislation in different...
