Abstract: Apparatus and method for redundantly checking a two dimensional array of containers or products before acceptance for later processing, such as sterilization by irradiation, by means of preferably at least one "dumb" detector (186) and one "smart" detector (187). The dumb detector looks at a predefined area (210) on each container of an array for a distinguishable indicia thereon, such as a reflective portion (206) on a non-reflective background. The smart detector reads an optical identification code (208) on each container only when the code is positioned at a predefined area (212) thereon. For an array to be accepted for processing, each container therein must satisfy all conditions. In a preferred embodiment, the dumb detector (186) for each container must sense a portion of distinguishable reflectance at a prescribed selected area (210) thereon; the optical identification code of each container must be detected at a prescribed selected area (212) thereon; and the smart detector must read the properly positioned optical identification code (208) and the read identification code must match an identification code stored by the processor (130) for each container. Moreover, it is preferred that no containers in the array be missing and that the containers not be excessively skewed. Codes for arrays that are accepted are stored in the processor (130) and each accepted array is channelled to be irradiated or otherwise processed as the array approaches the processing area along a conveyor.

Abstract translation: 通过优选至少一个“哑”检测器（186）和一个“智能”检测器（187），用于在接受之前冗余地检查容器或产品的二维阵列以用于稍后处理的装置和方法，例如通过照射灭菌。 哑探测器观察阵列的每个容器上的预定区域（210），用于其上的可区分的标记，例如在非反射背景上的反射部分（206）。 只有当代码位于其上的预定区域（212）时，智能检测器才读取每个容器上的光学识别码（208）。 对于要接受处理的阵列，其中的每个容器必须满足所有条件。 在优选实施例中，用于每个容器的哑检测器（186）必须在其上的规定的选定区域（210）处感测可区分的反射率的一部分; 必须在其上的规定的选定区域（212）检测每个容器的光学识别码; 并且智能检测器必须读取正确定位的光学识别码（208），并且读取的识别码必须与每个容器的由处理器（130）存储的识别码相匹配。 此外，优选的是，阵列中的容器不会丢失，并且容器不会过度倾斜。 接受的阵列的代码被存储在处理器（130）中，并且每个接受的阵列被引导以被辐射或以其它方式处理，因为阵列沿着传送器接近处理区域。

Abstract: A method of and devices (10, 20, 30, 50) for impact and vibration damping and, more particularly, to devices (10, 20, 30, 50) composed of an elastoplastic material including the characteristics of damping, heat and pressure dimensional stability, and moisture non absorbency of a blend of polyolefin and conjugated diene butyl rubber which converts impact shock or vibration energy into thermal energy.
