GE E-seminars (http //www. ge-plastics.com/resins/designsolutiony seminar/) GE s virtual conference center offers the ability to interact with GE Plastics real-time in live on-line conferences. E-Seminar examples include Material Selection, which provides the attendee with the knowledge, skills and competencies to determine how application requirements influence the material specification process and Materials for Single-Use Microwave Food Packaging, which reviews trends in the growing Freezer-to-Microwave Food Packaging industry. 

The US Congress funded the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) in order to improve the accuracy of pesticide dietary risk assessments carried out by the US EPA. The USDA s Agricultural Marketing Service carries out the program. As recommended in the 1993 NAS/NRC report, the PDP focuses on the foods consumed most heavily by children and food is tested, to the extent possible, as eaten (Agricultural Market Service, 2004 National Research Council, 1987). For example, banana and orange samples are tested without the peel processed foods are tested as they come out of a can, jar or freezer bag. 

These door sensors are designed in many sizes and shapes, depending upon the specific application. Many are custom-built. Generally, both a reed switch and a magnet are used, and in many cases, added circuitry is built into a PCB for smart sensoring. If the sensor is not activated after a specified period of time, an alarm will sound, alerting that the door is ajar. In the case of a freezer, several hundred dollars worth of frozen meat and other food can be saved from spoilage if an open door is detected. 

Food could be stored in refrigerators or freezers, which can recognize the type and date of the goods stored. If some goods reach their use-by date, it is brought to the attention of the user. When food is taken out of the freezer, a reminder will be displayed to buy more, or, if the user has subscribed to a re-stocking service, it may even automatically order from the supplier. 

In some facilities, there is a need for refrigerated storage of one or more flammable or combustible raw materials, catalysts, intermediate products, or finished goods. These materials may be in solid or liquid form in containers, boxes, drums, or small portable tanks. Depending on quantity of materials to be stored and required temperature, these facilities can range from cold storage warehouses for storage of food products to walk-in freezer rooms for pharmaceutical materials. 

It is important at this point to make the distinction between the terms freezing and frozen storage. The former may be regarded as part of the primary manufacturing process and uses, for example, fluidized bed freezers or plate freezers depending upon the nature of the food to be frozen. Frozen storage refers to the storage of food at...
