Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a multi-chambered container. In one example, a container comprising a first chamber is positioned between a liquid chamber and a second chamber, a first seal is positioned between the first chamber and the liquid chamber, and a second seal is positioned between the second chamber and the first chamber. By rotating a first external ring of the container that is positioned between the liquid chamber and the first chamber of the container a first liquid tight seal is opened to enable communication between the liquid chamber and the first chamber. The first external ring may be positioned at a first end of the liquid chamber that is opposite a second end of the liquid chamber that includes a drinking opening.

Abstract: Systems and methods for binocular viewing of an eye fundus, comprising a casing that includes a first section coupled to a second section, a light source coupled to a patient-facing end of the first section and configured to provide light along a light path towards the eye fundus, and a lens receiving opening formed into a practitioner-facing end of the second section of the casing. The lens receiving opening may be configured to receive and hold a lens within the second section.

Abstract: A composite hollow aspirator shaft is formed of fiberglass-reinforced phenolic resin that resists abrasion and reduces the amount of vibration that is transferred to the motor rotating the shaft, and the motor's bearings to extend motor and bearing life. An aspirator tip is adhesively attached to the composite aspirator shaft and includes an access hole for cleaning inside the hollow aspirator shaft. The hole is in axial alignment with the hollow aspirator shaft and a selectively-removable plug is used to seal the hole during aspirator use. When the aspirator tip is rotated in a liquid, fluidic forces are transferred to the shaft where they are attenuated. A splined hub is used to attach a foam restrictor near the other end of the shaft. The composite shaft material has a flexural modulus, or ratio, within the elastic limit of any applied stress.

Abstract: A water treatment plant for water purification or the removal of organic matter, suspended solids and other pollutants from water or wastewater is formed from multiple sections of polymer that are assembled to form a pre-treatment chamber, a treatment chamber and a settling chamber. The plant is preferably formed of a polymer, such as HMWPE. The treatment chamber is preferably a biofilm-aeration chamber. An outer tank is comprised of first and second upper sections and first and second lower sections secured by mating flanges. A divider baffle forms an inner wall separating the pre-treatment and treatment chambers. A hanging clarifier baffle is formed to be suspended from the outer tank between the treatment chamber and the settling chamber and includes a lower wall with specific angled portions near an angled wall of a lower section of the tank.

Abstract: A trumpet-shaped slinger atomizes or aerosolizes liquid by lifting liquid from adjacent the surface of the liquid using helically oriented fins rotated by spinning the slinger on a shaft. The lifted liquid is centrifugally forced over an increasing surface area and ejected from an upper edge as droplets. When used in wastewater aeration, radial fan blades on top of the slinger break up foam and increase air circulation while the increased surface area of the droplets increases diffusion of dissolved gasses from the wastewater.
