US Patent:

20040195511, Oct 7, 2004

Filed:

Apr 1, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/708927

Inventors:

Douglas Elmore - Bartlett TN, US
John Rabolt - Greenville DE, US
Mei-Wei Tsao - Wilmington DE, US

Assignee:

UD TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION - Newark DE

International Classification:

G01N021/35

US Classification:

250/339020

Abstract:

An apparatus and method capable of providing spatially multiplexed IR spectral information simultaneously in real-time for multiple samples or multiple spatial areas of one sample using IR absorption phenomena requires no moving parts or Fourier Transform during operation, and self-compensates for background spectra and degradation of component performance over time. IR spectral information and chemical analysis of the samples is determined by using one or more IR sources, sampling accessories for positioning the samples, optically dispersive elements, a focal plane array (FPA) arranged to detect the dispersed light beams, and a processor and display to control the FPA, and display an IR spectrograph. Fiber-optic coupling can be used to allow remote sensing. Portability, reliability, and ruggedness is enhanced due to the no-moving part construction. Applications include determining time-resolved orientation and characteristics of materials, including polymer monolayers. Orthogonal polarizers may be used to determine certain material characteristics.

International Classification:

A23L001/30

US Classification:

426072000

Abstract:

The present invention is a nutrient delivery system including a protein source and, optionally, a fiber source. Extruding proteins disrupts the protein structure at the secondary level, rendering the protein relatively inert as compared to an unextruded protein. Because the extruded protein is relatively inert, it can be incorporated in relatively large amounts in food products without substantially adversely affecting the food product. In addition, the protein source can be coextruded with a fiber source to provide an extruded protein-fiber blend. The extruded protein-fiber blend of the present invention permits the inclusion of high levels of protein and fiber into a food product substantially without adversely affecting the food product. The nutrient delivery system of the present invention can be used to prepare food products that meet US FDA and other regulatory guidelines for food nutrition labeling.
