20120114808 | PACKAGING FOR FOOD PRODUCT - A packaged food product includes a food product; a packaging having an interior containing the food product, the packaging including a first film defining a recess to receive the food product, the first film having an anti-fog treatment applied to at least a portion of the recess, the first film configured to define a space between the food product and the first film and receive heated water vapor released from the food product during heating of the food product; and a second film releasably sealed to the first film, the second film comprising an absorbent layer configured to absorb moisture released from the food product; and at least one vent portion configured to relieve steam pressure from the interior during heating of the food product. | 05-10-2012 |
20140010927 | PACKAGING FOR FOOD PRODUCT - A packaged food product includes a food product; a packaging having an interior containing the food product, the packaging including a first film defining a recess to receive the food product, the first film having an anti-fog treatment applied to at least a portion of the recess, the first film configured to define a space between the food product and the first film and receive heated water vapor released from the food product during heating of the food product; and a second film releasably sealed to the first film, the second film comprising an absorbent layer configured to absorb moisture released from the food product; and at least one vent portion configured to relieve steam pressure from the interior during heating of the food product. | 01-09-2014 |
20140339105 | PACKAGING FOR FOOD PRODUCT - A package for a food product can include a single film formable using, e.g., flow-wrapping, to enclose the food product. At least one portion of the single film may be made up of an absorbent material laminated to the single film, the absorbent material adapted to absorb moisture within the package. The at least one portion may be utilized as a base upon which the food product can be placed. Fins or overlapping seals may be configured on at least two edges of the single film allowing a fin seal or overlapping seal to be created thereby further allowing the single film to substantially enclose the food product. Crimped seals may further be employed to completely seal the food product within the single film. The fin seal or the overlapping seal and the crimped seals may be self-venting to release accumulated steam/moisture during a cooking or preparation process. | 11-20-2014 |
20140342057 | PACKAGING FOR FOOD PRODUCT - A package for a food product can include an insert enclosed within a single film formable using, e.g., flow-wrapping, to enclose the food product and the insert. At least one portion of insert may be made up of an absorbent material laminated to a backing, the absorbent material adapted to absorb moisture within the package. The insert may include a base upon which the food product can be placed and two or more sides extending up from the base to contain the food product from moving in one or more directions. Fins or overlapping portions of the film may be configured on at least two edges of the single film allowing a seal to be created thereby further allowing the single film to substantially enclose the food product and the insert. Crimped seals may further be employed to completely seal the food product and the insert within the single film. One or more of the seals may be self-venting to release accumulated steam/moisture during a cooking or preparation process. | 11-20-2014 |

20080283752 | Electromagnetic Wave Sensor with Terahertz Bandwidth - The field of the invention is that of the detection of high frequency electromagnetic waves. The invention can be applied to a very wide range of bandwidths, but the preferred field of application is the terahertz frequency domain. The core of the detection device involves a so-called active material with an absorption coefficient in the optical domain that depends on the intensity of the terahertz signal to be detected. By measuring the variations of the absorption coefficient by means of an optical probe, the intensity of the terahertz signal is thus determined. By this means, a frequency translation is performed in a frequency domain where the measurement no longer poses technical problems. It is notably possible to improve the sensitivity of the detector by having antennas suited to the active medium, by using semiconductor or quantum well materials. In this case, it is also possible to produce a matrix or an array of terahertz sensors, thereby enabling either terahertz imaging or terahertz spectroscopy to be carried out. | 11-20-2008 |
20140146511 | OPTRONIC WINDOW TRANSPARENT TO IR AND REFLECTING RF - An optronic porthole comprises a substrate with two faces. It comprises on one of the faces of the substrate or on both faces, a stack of several hetero-structures, each hetero-structure being composed of at least two semi-conducting layers SC1, SC2, the layer SC1 being doped, the layer SC2 itself comprising a two-dimensional electron gas layer formed at the interface with the layer SC1. It furthermore comprises an electrode in contact with all the electron gas layers, a bi-periodic metallic grid buried in the stack, in contact with the electrode. The substrate and the layers are transparent in the 0.4 μm-5 μm band. | 05-29-2014 |
20150185389 | UNIVERSAL TRAFFIC LIGHT LUMINAIRE - A traffic light luminaire includes at least one light source, a collimating device for collimating light emitted by the at least one light source, and a light distribution device for spreading the collimated light within a specific solid angle with a specific luminous intensity distribution. The light source is a high brightness light source, and the light distribution device is a microstructured distributor having a micro-structured surface, wherein each equal-sized macroscopic section of the microstructured distributor contributes to the luminous intensity distribution in the same way within said whole specified solid angle. Thereby a low maintenance traffic light luminaire is provided which generates a homogeneous light distribution for a variety of trail arrangements (right curve, left curve, straight line) independent of the distance of the viewer. | 07-02-2015 |
