Abstract

Method of spontaneous detection of organic and inorganic particles dispersed inside sealed surfaces. The method consists of detecting the presence of foreign substances inside sealed wrappings. The process consists of three phases: A) Application of a developer liquid in the contours of the container, B) Agitation of the wrapper so that the foreign elements move and impregnate the developer and C) Light wetting of an area of the wrapper and checking the presence of foreign elements by means of a light source.

Description

Spontaneous particle detection method organic and inorganic dispersed inside wrappers sealed.

Object of the invention

The invention relates to an innovative system consisting of a series of associated and correlative maneuvers that Containers or wrappers are developed on different media different composition (paper, cardboard, or similar), regardless of the functionality for which they are used: letter envelopes, packages, postal shipments, courier, etc. It acts on said receptacles through a series of special treatments with photosensitive chemical substances and reagents, which, subjecting them to high frequency vibration forces by means of ultrasound; they are located in a light field from a light source halogen polymerization; so, observing through a filter lens, development revealed by transparency of amorphous silhouettes and dotted drawings; achieving an effect of selective luminescent reflections, compatible with elements Refined microgranules with a doubtful presence and foreign to the content normal (for example) of a postal shipment.

Through this development you reach a Direct and immediate verification of the existence of suspicious substances or foreign microscopic agents that may be embedded or scattered in the cabin of a letter, postcard, package, etc .; without requiring opening them to Its early detection.

Background

Currently, facing a danger of provoked massive infection, the mode of study of a letter or package, is based on the mere intuition of suspicion of a shipment of unreliable origin; in poor visual observation by light the touch; or worse: normal-looking emails that do not arouse any suspicion and act as means of hidden aggression; since when the letter is opened the dissemination of microbiological content: airborne transmission or by dermal contact And even without danger, because it is the substances sent inside the package, mere samples of common use (such as sugar, flour, etc.) manages to create a state of social alarm due to ignorance of its composition. The majority of the studies and analyzes that are being carried out revolve around a defenseless constant, to be carried out in advanced phases of handling, which carry a severe risk of contamination after simply opening an envelope that could contain compounds Biological The lack of a technical means - scientist of "anticipation and protection" in the study of an element suspect, makes society a susceptible target and vulnerable to harassment from criminal sources and lunatic pranksters who they sow confusion and psychosis among the population. The absence of a specialized methodology to deal with this threat, driven by the unimportant mode of criminal action hitherto unknown; has led to a social alarm and to confusion of the world authorities raised by the increase in suspicious emails that cannot be analyzed but Until your boarding. This methodology that we propose, based on the early detection of foreign content inside the different types of packaging, it aims to counteract the criminal modus operandi, creating a true sieve or filter of the correspondence. It is established as a technical formulation of immediate analysis and discriminatory operability in bulk; avoiding the opening or reckless manipulation of envelopes or other courier forms when they are verified from abroad their contents of suspicious compounds. Becoming a method of surveillance and control that causes a "bolt" effect; hindering the infiltration, through different routes, of microbiological elements that endanger public health. The possibility of "tracking" the presence of substances in the interior of any type of packaging without opening them for its analysis, it highlights the innovative importance of this method.

Advantages of the object of the invention

Security: it is a surveillance method and isolation, avoiding maneuvers that could become risky or complex (such as opening envelopes or postal packages; or indiscriminate manipulation and unsuspecting correspondence). In this way the individual will be warned of the real situation of the shipment and will not be exposed to direct contact with the possible agent aggressor.

Immediate verification: The corroboration of the presence of powders or disseminated substances inside the Correspondence is immediate. When an envelope is treated with this method or any postal delivery, causes instant verification of the existence or not of suspicious scattered elements, or detection of substances from components other than normal writing ink and that have reacted during the procedure.

Speed: By manual methods, the technique allows Obtaining results in a matter of seconds. The automation supports mass verification of correspondence.

Accuracy: Huge awareness for impress fine conglomerates of different composition and structure. Exquisite revealing photosensitive susceptibility. Effective on different concentrated volumes of microparticles. Strong ability to detach the possible microgranules interior recesses where it is intended to hide them.

Safety: The procedure does not harm or affect the envelope content.

Operational simplicity: The implementation of This detection methodology is available to any individual, and learning is fast through instructions elementals

Universality: This method warns of presence of substances whose composition can range from sugar or talcum powder, up to synthetic preparations with activity microbiological

Economy: Allows optimal functionality to Starting from standard specialized machinery and low materials cost, without requiring a laboratory; besides reducing enormously the expenses of complex bacteriological studies and therapeutic - prophylactic treatments when detected or a possibility of direct exposure to agents is suspected harmful.

Description of the invention methodology

The method object of the invention solves the problematic of having to open postal shipments for your subsequent analysis, with the risks that this entails; offering a solution of simple application and of enormous efficiency in the contact prevention and spread of aggressors microbiological

The specific steps are detailed below. of the system that is recommended and that consists of different phases of systematic development:

A) Preparatory Chemical Phase

B) Dispersant Mechanical Phase

C) Physical Phase of Verification

A) Preparatory Chemical Phase

It consists of direct treatment with substances Photo-revealing chemicals (of the fluorescein type disodium salt or other similar compound) in envelopes of letters, packages, etc. How demonstrate the guiding graphics, the application is carried out of the fluorescent indicator liquid, covering a surface of about 5 millimeters wide from the edges of the envelope. Be they must make two or more "active" zones in order to ensure success. For the preparation of these strips they can used adhesive tapes embedded in the chemical compound, which They are designed exclusively for use in this system (Figure 1), or by sliding different liquid dispensers (figure n ° 2), or brushing the indicated surfaces to be treated. The areas marked with the substance  photosensitive provide a sufficient wetting effect that allows his presence to insinuate itself in the inner part of the envelope; without exceeding the limits set by the applicator, and avoiding that form that important documentation contained in the envelope could somehow be affected.

B) Dispersant Mechanical Phase

The purpose of this maneuver is to provoke the mobilization of substances and particles (which have been deliberately placed inside the envelope), through the application of intrinsic forces of removal. The dust that presumably it could be trapped in the inner slopes of the envelope, or hidden between the sheets of a paper, are displaced and transported by vibrations to all walls inside. When powders or other components of microparticles "collide" against chemically marked areas  previously with the fluorescent material, they are impregnated in said developer substance, spreading all over the surface internal envelope. Thus, the microgranule elements remain unfailingly marked and ready for immediate detection.

In the execution of this phase they have been used, during the hundreds of trials, a high vibration machine ultrasonic frequency. It is very important to emphasize that the envelope and other packaging used in the development of tests, were placed in trays that were located inside of the ultrasonic machine as a charger. This modality technique was developed in anticipation of possible leaks of microparticles through the characteristic porosity of material with which the envelopes are composed, when subjected to forces that operate during vibration. When you don't have sophisticated means of ultrasound, and operation unfailingly it is manual, you must proceed to shake the envelope or package always with protective gloves approved by the  competent health authorities; suitable tweezers to avoid a direct dermal contact; or plastic handling devices hint. Also, the outdoor envelope should never be shaken, but placing it inside a sealed container, designed specifically for that purpose. Once the phase of dispersion can now pass the operative phase of verification direct. Previously the faces of the envelope with a simple cotton or the application of a roller, exerting a gentle and constant pressure when sliding it (figure n ° 4). Small areas can be chosen as standard samples or cover the total area of the envelope.

C) Physical Phase of Verification

Of the procedures described above, he managed to establish the preparation of conditions extremely favorable for substances that could be spread in different concentrations, they are effectively conditioned and chemically sensitized for immediate analysis.

Once the envelopes have been treated with the technique exclusive of zones of printer and indicator activity in zones strategic; and having been caused, by stimulation Ultrasonic, dispersion and impact against sidebands impregnated in the photosensitive compound (with its consequent marking); microparticles remain scattered throughout the internal environment of the envelope. Then proceed to a next step: in which the wrappers are subjected to the influence of A photochemical source. The light field is created by means of a optical fiber that emits a powerful beam of light whose generating source comes from a halogen polymerization lamp (or similar) (figure 5). The operator is equipped with special glasses designed with optical filters that favor more visibility Accurate and total eye protection (Figure 6). Of this procedure, the direct display results of luminescent reflections; highlighting a bright scheme from inside the envelope: in the form of starry figures, Tiny amorphous images, lines, glowing dots messily blurred, etc .; which allows to reveal from the exterior about the presence of suspicious particles in the sealed intimacy of the envelope; which would be absolutely priceless at first sight.
