摘要:
A machine for forming open ended cartons from flat die cut blanks of flexible material. The machine includes a magazine adapted to contain a supply of the blanks, and first, second and third forming stations through which the blanks are successively shifted by automatically operable transfer mechanisms. The blanks are progressively folded as they progress through the forming stations. At a final stage in the forming process, adhesive is selectively applied to the undersides of exposed side flaps, and these side flaps are then folded to produce the desired end product. At various stages during the forming process, the partially erected blanks are supported both internally and externally in order to avoid deformation or collapsing of open ends, and to insure precise bending along fold lines.

Methods of licensing state-of-the-art technology, such as an optical analysis system and components thereof, include assessing a technology requirement of a customer, such as a pharmaceutical, food or chemical industry customer; pricing the optical analysis system to meet the technology requirement; testing the optical analysis system to meet the technology requirement; licensing the optical analysis system based on the pricing thereof for a predetermined period of time; and maintaining the optical analysis system for the predetermined period of time.
