  • Patent number: 12168205
    Abstract: Described is an apparatus for preparing baby formula using a liquid concentrate solution. The apparatus includes a housing with a cavity for receiving and holding a container liquid concentrate solution. A motor is attached with the housing for forcing liquid concentrate solution from the container and into a mixing chamber. A pump and a water tank are also included. A spray head is attached with the housing. The spray head includes a plurality of spray jets in fluid connection with the pump for receiving water from the water tank and dispensing water from the spray jets into the mixing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20230225892
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for bypassing stomach and creating a barrier for the proximal small bowel to include duodenum and jejunum so that food delivered is directly in the jejunum that results in weight loss. The technique involves placement and fixation of a gastric bypass device within the stomach to cover the small bowel. The present invention also provides a device and method which enables the suturing of the gastric bypass device. The duodeno-jejunal barrier remains unchanged and helps in bypassing the absorptive surface of the proximal small bowel.
