A controls stage, a hopper stage, and a pneumatic stage are arranged to govern the movement of particulate additives from a hopper through a receptacle that communicates with a delivery tube with the particles exiting the delivery tube via an outlet and contacting products or commodities such as food products. Embodiments include those wherein the use of air flow through the delivery tube is responsible for ushering particulate additives out of the delivery tube, with or without a secondary air flow to facilitate movement of particulate additives into the delivery tube, and a notched disc controlling the opening and closing of a valve to allow or restrict particulates from passing, wherein the size and quantity of notches affects the frequency at which particulate additives move from the hopper into the delivery tube.

A contactor is positioned coaxially with and substantially within at least one separator, and otherwise is configured to receive aerosolized target particles of interest as a sample. The use of a plurality of separators that are coaxial with each other and the contactor increases the number of separations involving target particles and other constituents of air at a sampling point, whereby in some embodiments the separators are rotatably configurable relative to each other and to the contactor.

System and methods for maintaining constant airflow and efficiency while tuning sampling flow
In a material sample separation and collection system, a sample is obtained by airflow separation. The system and attendant methods collect a complete sample over a defined period of time by modulating one or more pressure balancing valves, thus allowing for a variable flow rate of materials through the system even while the fan or other source of airflow operates at constant speed. The sampling rate, which is based on how quickly or slowly materials enter and pass through the system and into a collection vessel, is automatically modulated in real time based on sensor data.

FEEDBACK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TIMELY ASSESSMENT OF A CONDITION OF BULK MATERIALS
Bulk materials from a transport vehicle are transitioned along a transitioning line to a sampling point, at which location particles of matter in the air surrounding the bulk materials are sampled. When the present embodiments are combined with near-real time detection methods, it establishes a near-real time feedback loop to make acceptance/rejection decisions more quickly than with prior sampling and testing approaches. Thus, the embodiments avoid or limit the waiting time that are seen with current systems and methods for assessing quality and condition of bulk materials at a point of delivery.
A contactor is positioned coaxially with and substantially within at least one separator, and otherwise is configured to receive aerosolized target particles of interest as a sample. The use of a plurality of separators that are coaxial with each other and the contactor increases the number of separations involving target particles and other constituents of air at a sampling point, whereby in some embodiments the separators are rotatably configurable relative to each other and to the contactor.

Methods and systems for ensuring the security of grain stores
Aspects include claims, systems, and methods for testing bulk grain stores to identify the presence of contaminants. Such contaminants tested for may include biological, chemical, or radio nuclear material. Another aspect is marking and/or tracking grain stores that have been certified as either being contaminated or safe. Still another aspect is an automated or automatic system for measuring the level of contamination in a given grain store, and for marking and tracking grain stores tested for contamination.
