A method for manufacturing a thermoformable dual ovenable coated cellulosic board includes coating an aqueous-based polyester acrylate copolymer dispersion basecoat on a first major side of a cellulosic board substrate and coating an aqueous-based polyester acrylate copolymer dispersion barrier topcoat on the aqueous-based polyester acrylate copolymer dispersion basecoat.

A lidding device (102) includes a first panel (104) comprising a lid (106) configured to cover and seal a food container (108). A second panel (110) is foldably connected to the first panel. A third panel (112) includes a bottom panel opposite the lid, wherein the second panel is foldably connected to the first panel and the third panel. A fourth panel (114) is foldably connected to at least one of the first panel and the third panel, wherein the fourth panel and second panel are configured to at least partially enclose a food container between the second and fourth panels.

A frame is injection molded onto a group of panels to form a container. The panels extend at least partially around, and at least partially define, a cavity of the container.

Methods and apparatus for vacuum forming and subsequently applying topical coatings fiber-based food containers. The slurry includes one or more of an embedded moisture barrier, vapor barrier, and oil barrier, and the topical coating comprises one or more of a vapor barrier, a moisture barrier, an oil barrier, and an oxygen barrier. For food containers having deep sidewalls, a spray coating system includes a first nozzle for applying a full cone spray pattern to the bottom surface of the container, and a second nozzle for applying a hollow cone spray pattern to the inside surfaces of the side walls.

A method of forming a container from a blank. The method can comprise obtaining a blank having a wall portion, a flange portion, and a coating on at least a portion of the flange portion. At least one score line can extend at least partially in the flange portion, and the coating can at least partially cover the at least one score line. The method further can comprise forming the container from the blank by forming a wall of the container from the wall portion and forming a flange of the container from the flange portion. The flange can extend from the wall. The forming the container further can comprise forming the at least one score line into at least one pleat in at least the flange. The coating can at least partially cover the at least one pleat to form a substantially continuous sealing surface on the flange.

In a pressure auto-adjusting package for a heated food and a composite membrane thereof, the composite membrane includes a first membrane coated with a partial release layer thereon in a predetermined width, a second membrane provided with a cutting line corresponding to the partial release layer, and a glue layer disposed between the first membrane and the second membrane to glue the first membrane and the second membrane together, the first membrane and the second membrane are pseudo-glued at the position of the partial release layer, the cutting line of the second membrane is disposed at a heat seal opening and extends to the accommodating space. The package has a pressure generated therein when being heated, the pressure enters into a pseudo-glued area between the second membrane and the first membrane from the cutting line to form a gap where the pressure is released to prevent explosion.

The present invention discloses a laser radar for synchronous scanning of line exposure and point lasers of a rolling shutter door and a detection method. The laser radar comprises: a point light source rotating mechanism and an image sensor mechanism; the rotation speed of the point light source rotating mechanism is consistent with the scanning speed of the image sensor mechanism, and the phase is synchronized; and a region illuminated by lasers is in the region corresponding to the exposure line of the rolling shutter door of the image sensor mechanism. The present invention proposes the use of point laser rotating scanning in combination with line scanning of the rolling shutter door to synchronously realize the functions of line lasers.

A microwave packaging material for forming a construct for holding a food item. The microwave packaging material can comprise a film at least partially secured to a substrate by a pattern of adhesive. A plurality of closed cells can extend between the film and the substrate, each closed cell of the plurality of closed cells can be at least partially defined by the pattern of adhesive, and each of the closed cells can be configured to expand during heating to form respective expanded cells. The microwave packaging material further can comprise a bonded region extending along at least a portion of the microwave packaging material. The film can be secured to the substrate along the bonded region, and the bonded region can be for forming at least one recess among the expanded cells and can be for extending along the food item when the microwave packaging material is heated.

A system for creating a microencapsulate coating composition and the method of adding the scented microencapsulate coating to product packaging. The microencapsulate coating contains scented compounds that are encapsulated to create encapsulated particles. The encapsulant can be either water soluble or hydrophobic depending upon the intended application. The encapsulated particles are mixed with a binding agent, to create a scented microencapsulate coating. The scented microencapsulate coating is applied to packaging in areas that will be touched as the packaging is manipulated. The physical contact ruptures the microencapsulate coating and releases the scented compounds contained therein.

A formed article includes a rigid film, a liner film, and a cavity. The rigid film includes a thickness and a line of weakness. The rigid film and the liner film are joined to each other. Further, the line of weakness is positioned in the cavity. The formed article is configured to facilitate separation (e.g., peeling) of the rigid film from the liner film.
