Abstract: A mixing lid attachable to a beverage container, comprising a lid base having an upper surface, a lower surface and a central opening extending between the upper and lower surfaces and a mixing assembly rotatable about the central opening of the lid base. The mixing assembly includes a rotary plate disposed on the upper surface of the lid base and a rotary arm disposed on the lower surface of the lid base and attached to the rotary plate through the central opening in the lid. The rotary arm lies substantially flat against the lower surface of the lid. The mixing assembly includes a pivot arm pivotably attached at a first end of the pivot arm to the rotary arm. The pivot arm is pivotable from a first position lying flat against the interior surface of the lid to a second downward position extending toward the bottom of the beverage container. The mixing assembly includes a mixing arm pivotably attached to a second end of the pivot arm opposite the first end of the pivot arm.

Abstract: In a method of non-destructive testing of a panel of composite insulation material (1), a portion of a surface (2) of a test panel is heated by applying a heat source for a predefined time or until a predefined amount of energy has been imparted to the panel. The heat dissipation from the surface (2) of the panel is then measured over time in order to produce a heat dissipation characteristic for the test panel, which is then compared with reference heat dissipation characteristics from panels of known composition in order to provide an initial indication of the composition of the panel. The surface (2) of the panel is then struck with a tuned hammer in order to pass a pulse of energy therethrough which generates vibrations within the panel. These vibrations are again monitored over time in order to produce a characteristic vibratory modes for the panel, which is then compared with reference data from panels of known composition in order to provide a confirmation of the composition of the test panel.
