Title: Extruder and die assembly for extruding shaped food pieces
Inventor: HUNTER THOMAS B
IPC: B29C48/345
Filed: 1998-02-18
Abstract: An extruder (1) produces an extruded food piece in a shape that simulates the shape of a natural food piece. The extruder (1) has a pressure vessel (2), a pressure exerting device (3) for the pressure vessel (2), a manifold (4) in fluid communication with the pressure vessel (2), and at least one die and cutter assembly (6) in fluid communication with the manifold (4). The die and cutter assembly (6) has an extrusion member (9) with an extrusion wall (10), a closed extrusion end (11), an opened feed end (12) attachable to the manifold (4), at least one extrusion die (13) formed in the extrusion wall (10) near the extrusion end (11), and a tubular cutter member (14). The tubular cutter member (14) has a drivable end (19), a cutter wall (16) and an opened cutter end (17) with at least one cutting surface (18) for cutting mash into the shape as the mash exits the die (13). The cutter member (14) is reciprocally slidable on the extrusion wall (10) by drive device (20).

Title: Display unit, movable display carrier with two sets of indicia mounted behind array of linear lenses
Inventor: BAR-YONA ITZCHAK
IPC: G09F11/00
Filed: 1999-09-28
Abstract: A self contained variable display unit includes an open fronted housing 4.  The front of the housing is made up of an array 8 of horizontal linear lenses.  A display carrier 10 is mounted behind the lens array 8, the carrier having two sets of indicia printed on it.  The indicia displayed through the lens array is determined by the vertical position of the display carrier.  The display is changed by moving the display carrier vertically using motor 14 driving an eccentric 18.  This arrangement uses only a small amount of power, which can be supplied by a battery, allowing the display to go for long periods without attention.  The display may be double sided, with a lens array on both sides of the housing.

Title: Powder coating compositions comprising two such compositions separated in a triboelectric reference series
Inventor: CARE MARTYN PAUL
IPC: C09D201/00
Filed: 2001-02-08
Abstract: A powder coating composition comprising a mixture of first and second component powder coating compositions which are separated, preferably widely separated, in a triboelectric reference series indicative of the extent to which powder coating compositions may be distinguishable from one another when electrically charged are described. The mixed powder coating composition is especially suitable for coating articles having recessed portions. A quantitative basis is given for determining the separation of the individual component compositions in the triboelectric reference series, and preferred minimum separation criteria are given. The figure represents a powder coating application gun that was clamped into position such that the gun was pointing directly at the corner of the test piece, with a gun-tip to corner distance of 30 cm. The panel was coated (gun settings: fluidising air 1.0 bar, conveying air 0.6 bar, supplementary air 3. 5m3 hour -1, single corona needle conical baffle nozzle at-50 kV). The weight of the coated piece was recorded, and compared with the uncoated weight of the piece. A range of application trials was carried out for each powder coating mixture until an applied weight of 4.0 grams of powder coating had been achieved. The resulting coated test piece was then stoved to give a cured film (stoving conditions: 10 minutes at 180°C), and reserved for further inspection. For each coated test piece, the degree of penetration of the powder coating into the corner region was visually assessed. In order to remove the subjective nature of an individual visual assessment of the penetration, six people individually assessed the coated test pieces, and ranked the penetration from best to worst. These results were averaged and collated, into four groups from I -Excellent penetration to IV -Poor penetration.
