Appl. No.:

10/659222

Inventors:

Roger Morris - Sebastian FL, US
John McMorris - Indialantic FL, US
Galo Acosta - Sebastian FL, US
Jerry Hill - Cocoa FL, US
Alan Tank - Bethesda MD, US
Kyle Newman - Lexington KY, US
Alan Bishop - Sebastian FL, US

Assignee:

AgCert International, LLC - Sebastian FL

International Classification:

G01N033/02

US Classification:

426/231000

Abstract:

A device for detecting bacteria in a perishable food product includes a gas-permeable sensor housing positionable within an interior of food packaging. A pH indicator is positioned within the housing for detecting a change in a gaseous bacterial metabolite concentration that is indicative of bacterial growth, wherein a pH change is effected by a presence of the metabolite. The housing and the pH indicator are preferably safe for human consumption. A method for detecting bacteria in a perishable food product includes supporting a food product by a food packaging element and positioning a gas-permeable sensor housing within an interior of the food packaging element, the sensor including a pH indicator. The food product and the housing are sealed within the food packaging, and the pH indicator is monitored for a bacterial concentration in the food product in excess of a predetermined level.

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/001000

Abstract:

An integrated, holistic methodology for enabling a systematic creation, aggregation, verification, registration, storage, transfer/sale, and retirement of environmental emission removal units provides a control and management system complementing the use of sound foundational science to qualify and quantify environmental emission reductions and removals, and provides the framework for accurate data collection, storage, and processing.

International Classification:

G01N033/02

US Classification:

426/231000

Abstract:

A sensor for detecting bacteria in a perishable food product includes a gas-permeable material including a pH indicator carried by a housing for placement in a spaced relation to food product or packaging surfaces for effectively detecting a change in carbon dioxide levels within the package. One acid-base pH indicator comprises a mixture of Bromothymol Blue and Methyl Orange with the sensor having an initial green color indicating an alkaline pH of approximately 7.2. The indicator turns orange with a decrease in pH resulting from a presence of carbon dioxide due to bacterial growth, such an indicator reflecting a universally recognizable safe to caution color change.

International Classification:

G06F007/00

US Classification:

707001000

Abstract:

A system for tracking environmental performance of a producer of environmental emissions and of associating individual environmental emission reductions to the producer, to a variety of collected data, or both includes selecting a production practice of the producer and an appropriate protocol for converting the production practice to a measure of environmental emissions. An identifier for each quantifiable unit of environmental emissions a sequence portion characterizing a succession of units, a vintage portion characterizing the time period for the production practice, a protocol characterizing portion and a geographical reference portion. Such an identifier allows for a tracking of the processes that resulted in the environmental emissions measurement.

International Classification:

F41H 1/02
B32B 3/12

US Classification:

2 25, 428117

Abstract:

A constant or controlled temperature microclimate protective system capable of providing either cooling or heating. Such a system may be used alone or in combination with protective armor without degrading the force impact integrity of the protective system. When used alone, the microclimate system of the present invention may be constructed into a garment configuration for personal use or a sleeve-type configuration for use with one or more electronic devices. When used in combination, the microclimate system may be integrally incorporated into a protective armor system, releasably attached or held within the protective armor system by means including but not limited to a pocket or pouch, or worn as a separate element underneath a protective armor system. The microclimate system may comprise a plurality of cells containing phase change material providing one or more transition temperature points while further assisting in impact shock attenuation.
