How does a Coca-Cola manufacturer acquire coca leaf extract?

Coca-Cola contains coca leaf extract, although in much smaller quantities than it was in the early years of its sales. The Coca Cola Company buys this extract from only one supplier - Stepan Company, the only company in the United States that is allowed to import coca. Moreover, for Coca-Cola, leaves are supplied after all the cocaine has been obtained from them, which, in turn, is supplied to the Mallinckrodt pharmaceutical plant. It is the only plant in the United States with government approval to produce cocaine-containing medical products.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Photoelectric sensor Omron E3FZ 30.04.2009

Incorporating the same modular concept as Omron's popular E3Z series photoelectric sensor, the new E3FZ combines reliable object detection with a compact body and quick, easy installation.

Thanks to the innovative SecureClick mounting system, the new photoelectric sensors install ten times faster than most conventional rectangular sensors and three times faster than standard cylindrical sensors. The sensors are simply inserted into the appropriately drilled holes and snapped into place. Despite this speed and ease of installation, the SecureClick fastening system has been extensively tested to prove its reliability even at very high vibration levels.

The new sensors are made in the popular compact M18 cylindrical short body and are equipped with a high-brightness LED emitter that expands the boundaries of the measurement area. They are manufactured to tight tolerances, which ensures minimal optical axis deviation and simplifies system alignment.

Quick installation, easy set up and competitive pricing make these units particularly attractive for OEM applications, material handling systems and other demanding large scale applications.
