Intelligent empty bottle inspection system is an important inspection equipment of empty bottle before filling beer, and it is a blend of machine vision, precision machine and real-time control. They need to cooperate perfectly to achieve the desired effect. In the design of the empty bottle inspection system, one of the key technologies is the bottle bottom detection which affects the speed an...

The performance of the BacT/Alert PF (Organon-Teknika Corp., Durham, N.C.), a new nonvented pediatric FAN blood culture bottle, was compared to that of the original pediatric bottle, the Pedi-BacT, with matched aerobic cultures obtained from two separate facilities. A total of 244 clinically significant isolates were recovered from 4,015 compliant pairs. Among the positive cultures, 170 (70%) i...

Industrial glass is produced at temperatures above 600 ◦C, where glass becomes a highly viscous incompressible fluid, usually considered as Newtonian. In the production two phases may be distinguished, namely the pressing phase and the blowing phase. This study will be concerned with glass flow in the pressing phase, which is called thus because a blob of fluid glass (called a gob) is pressed i...

Numerous studies have documented the cariogenic effects of prolonged or nocturnal bottle feeding in children. Guidelines prepared by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggest that pediatricians advise parents to begin bottle weaning when their child is approximately nine months of age and accomplish weaning soon after the first birthday. However, little information exists concerning the ...

We report, what is to our knowledge, the first experimental realization of partially coherent bottle beams. It is shown that partially coherent bottle beams can be achieved by the focusing of partially coherent light with an axicon-lens system. The influence of the spatial coherence of the incident partially coherent light and other parameters, such as the radius of the limiting aperture of the...

Novel glass processing by powder-fed directed energy deposition was explored as a method of adding décor to surfaces and bottles. Consistent, semitransparent, single-line tracks soda lime silica could be processed onto substrates the same composition, without significant cracks forming in substrate. A suitable window found with laser power scan speed showing independent effects on processing. C...
