In some embodiments, the primary seal is contact with the nose and cheek regions; the secondary seal is in contact with the chin region; and the tertiary seal is in contact with the cheek and chin regions. In some embodiments, the tertiary seal extends inwardly and outwardly when applied to the face. In some embodiments, the mask includes test scissors.

Method and system for testing and inspecting containers using one or more light reflections and positional data
11506615 · 2022-11-22 · ·

A system is described for inspecting a container having a top surface using light reflections and positional data. The system comprises a radiation source arranged such that the light beam projects radiation onto the top surface, wherein the radiation radiates along the outer edge of the container; a sensor, wherein the radiation is collected by the sensor reflected from the container using positional data, wherein the positional data is used to create a reference plane of the top of the top surface; and a processor operatively connected to the sensor, the processor integrates the positional data to detect defects in the container and creates a reference plane of a top surface of the container, wherein sensor captures the positional data of the container as the container moves on the conveyor; and the positional data is integrated using software to produce a 3D topographical map of the container.

Bag engaging device
11486789 · 2022-11-01 · ·

An assembly (10) to engage seemingly closed bags (11) that contain a product. The assembly (10) includes a conveyor (14) that has a length (16) that is moved in a conveying direction (17). A compression device (24) is adjustable in respective distance from the length (17) by a “parallelogram” arrangement.

Methods for detecting pipeline weakening
11604127 · 2023-03-14 ·

Methods of detecting pipeline weakening are described herein. The methods include creating a pressure wave in a fluid flowing in a pipeline using an input transducer located at a first position along the pipeline; measuring the pressure wave using an output transducer positioned at a second position along the pipeline that is spaced from the first position, and generating an output signal based on the pressure wave; analyzing the output signal to determine a stiffness of a sidewall of the pipeline positioned between the input transducer and output transducer; and determining if the sidewall includes a defect based on the stiffness of the sidewall, including analyzing a frequency response of the output signal to detect the defect.
