    摘要: A system for identification and confirmation of legitimate deposit refund containers on which a monetary deposit has been collected. The containers include a marking indicating eligibility for collection of the monetary deposit upon return of the containers. The system includes at least one emitter operative to emit radiation positioned to direct the radiation toward a container, at least one sensor operative to sense the radiation reflected back from the container and a control system operative to drive the at least one emitter, receive information from the at least one sensor, and process the information to determine eligibility for the container for the refund of the monetary deposit.

    摘要: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for inspecting multi-layer plastic containers (10). More particularly, the invention relates to such an apparatus and method whereby optical energy absorbing compounds are added to the materials comprising the layer(s) of the container (10) to facilitate inspection thereof. Apparatus comprises a sensor unit (40), an illumination unit (30) for illuminating a portion of electromagnetic spectrum at a near IR wavelength to an inspection zone (20) which is located between the sensor unit (40) and the illumination unit (30). A processing unit (50) which receives an output of the sensor unit (40) and determines the attributes of the multilayer plastic containers (10).

    摘要: A system for detecting a side wall perforation in containers operates non-invasively and at line speeds. A stream of similar containers are communicated to an inspection area. An exterior of each container is illuminated while the container is in the inspection area. Light from an interior of the container is focused, via a lens, to a video camera. Any perforate flaw in the container walls results in a point source of light in the container interior. Since the perforations are relatively small, the point source is created due to diffractive properties of the slit perforation. These diffractive properties facilitate obtaining an image of the flaw from the camera disposed to the interior of the container when the camera is mounted orthogonally to the perforation or parallel to the wall being inspected. In an other embodiment, the relative positions of the light source and camera are interchanged. A method for container inspection is also provided in connection with the afore-noted structure.
