Patent CA-2493807-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHAW PHILIP NEIL
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2003-08-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a pump device (50) which is usable to dilute a sample (52) before analysis. A first pump (54) pumps the sample to a mixing region (58) where it mixes with a diluent (66). A second pump (64) pumps the diluted sample to the analysis instrument. The flow of the diluent to the mixer is equal to the difference of the flow of the sample to the mixer and the flow of the diluted sample to the instrument. Pumps (54) and (64) are independently controllable by a controller unit which is arranged so that da ta from the instrument can be used to determine the dilution factor of the sample. Thus, the controller can control this dilution factor in real time, upon receipt of such data from the instrument, by change either one of (or both) the pump's flow rate.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes a containment tube (30) to facilitate production of a curly puff extrudate (20) and a blade (40) to nick the extrudate (16) as it exists a die. A gap is provided between the tube and an extruder die (12) to allow a blade (40) access to the extrudate (16) as it exits an orifice (14) in the die (12). The blade (40) accesses the extrudate (16) while it is in a viscous melt, before the extrudate (16) has cooled and hardened. The blade (40) nicks the extrudate (16), as opposed to completely cutting it, thereby allowing the extrudate (16) to remain connected throughout processing such as curling in the containment tube (30). The gap also allows steam to be vented form the extrudate (16) as it exits the orifice (14) in the die (12). The curly puff extrudate (20) separates when fried or baked.
