Method And Apparatus For Increasing The Speed And/Or Resolution Of Gas Permeation Measurements
US Patent:
2014001, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:
Jul 12, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/941225
Inventors:
BRUCE A. WELT - GAINESVILLE FL, US
International Classification:
G01N 15/08
US Classification:
73 38
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for measuring the transmission rate of a substance through a material, such as a packaging film. The transmission rate of the substance during the test can be increased, or decreased, by increasing the pressure, or decreasing the pressure, respectively, at which the test is conducted. Embodiments can use a probe that does not consume the substance. Specific embodiments can utilize flowing gases. Other embodiments do not require any flowing gas during the measurement.
Method And Apparatus For Measuring Gas Transmission Rate Of Semi-Barrier Materials
US Patent:
2009015, Jun 25, 2009
Filed:
Dec 15, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/335230
Inventors:
BRUCE WELT - Gainesville FL, US

Assignee:
University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
G01N 15/08
US Classification:
73 38
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for measuring the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of a material, such as a perforated film packaging material. The method and apparatus can use a fiber optic oxygen sensor that does not consume oxygen and does do not require any flowing gas during measurement of the OTR.
System Of Time-Temperature Integrators
US Patent:
2008023, Sep 25, 2008
Filed:
Jan 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
10/586118
Inventors:
Bruce A Welt - Gainesville FL, US
Assignee:
University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
G01K 3/04, G01D 21/00
US Classification:
374102, 116207, 374E03004
Abstract:
Time-temperature integrators (TTIs) are useful for providing a means to monitor safety of fresh foods, particularly foods packaged in reduced-oxygen environments. TTIs of the present invention utilize Arrhenius-type curves to offer safety margins that satisfy regulator and shelf-life requirements. One method of using TTIs of the present invention involves using duel TTIs, one as a reference and one as a safety.
