Abstract: Mixing device (1) and fluid mixing method, by means of successive transfers between syringes. The mixing method comprises placing a pair of syringes (2, 3) in the mixing device (1), adjusting a variable fixing element adaptable to the pair of syringes (2, 3) and selecting and running a mixing programme, being the mixing force, the speed and the range and the number of transfers adjustable. The mixing device comprises a mobile carriage (7) longitudinally movable and fixing elements (8, 9) with an adjustable distance between them. The invention allows for the mixing or emulsifying of blood fluids with different viscosity, particularly a protein gel and a platelet-rich plasma, for the preparation of dermatological formulations, in a versatile, hygienic and effective manner.

Abstract: System and methods for delivering objects formed of a solid material into a circulation fluid of a subterranean well include a volume transfer container. The volume transfer container has an inlet port, an outlet port, and a charge access opening sized to provide for the filling of the volume transfer container with the objects. A discharge line extends from a pump assembly to the volume transfer container. A transfer line extends from the volume transfer container to the drilling assembly, providing a fluid flow path from the volume transfer container to the drilling assembly that is free of any pump.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for: 1) the gentle, controlled mixing of solid and liquid botanical components during fermentation; and 2) the regulation of parameters in cap material and juice during primary fermentation to optimize attributes such as expressive organoleptic characteristics including bouquet, texture and flavor, while simultaneously and selectively monitoring and mitigating the deleterious effects of reduced sulfur compounds, harmful bacteria, multicellular fungi, and/or biogenic amines during the artisan creation of ultra-premium fine wines and other alcoholic libations according to a customized schedule.

Abstract: AVClip recorded in BD-ROM is obtained by multiplexing a graphics stream and a video stream. The graphics stream is a PES packet sequence that includes 1) PES packets storing graphics data (ODS) and 2) PES packets storing control information (PCS). In each ODS, values of DTS and PTS indicate a timing of decoding start for corresponding graphics data, and a timing of decoding end for corresponding graphics data, respectively. In each PCS, a value of PTS indicates a display timing of corresponding decoded graphics data combined with the video stream.

Abstract: Handheld electric beater-mixer including a body (2) containing a drive motor (7), a rotatable coupling device (26) connected to the shaft of the motor and adapted for the securement and driving of a mixer foot (38), which coupling device (26) communicates with the outside through a coupling opening (32), and a closure (35) associated with this coupling opening (32), wherein the closure (35) is formed by at least two flaps (46) movable between a closure position in which they are near each other, and an open position in which they are spaced from each other toward the interior of the body (2), under the direct action of the mixer foot (38) during engagement of this latter in the opening (32), the flaps (46) returning automatically to the closure position after withdrawal of the mixer foot (38).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for mixing a liquid component and a powdered component to form a bone filler has first and second syringes each having a barrel, a plunger and an exit port. The plunger is moveable with the barrel of each syringe along a longitudinal axis of the barrel. An end portion of each plunger extends beyond the end of each barrel when the plunger tip is spaced from the exit port and can be activated to move the plunger tip toward the exit port. A mechanism for mixing the liquid and powdered components is operatively connected to each of the barrels and plunger of the first and second syringes so that the relative sliding movement of first and second parts of the mechanism simultaneously moves the plungers and barrels of the first and second syringes relative to one another to move the combined liquid and powdered components back and forth between the first and second syringe.

Abstract: The present invention aims to evenly and surely knead a concrete material comprising less water amount. Concrete material layer entered into a kneading tank is cut in an up-and-down direction and divided into a plurality of layer sections arrayed side by side along a right-and-left direction,, and one of the divided layer sections is piled up another one of the divided layer sections in the up-and-down direction, then the piled up concrete layer sections are compacted, in other words are pressed in the up-and-down direction and extended in a horizontal direction, and further these steps are repeated.

Abstract: A device for whipping cream or egg whites having a cup-shaped cylindrical housing with a preformed bottom, a cap releasably locking the open top, a perforated plunger piston connected to one end of the piston rod and movable within the housing, the piston rod being movable through the cap and formed with a handle at its opposite end, one of two perforated plates spaced from the plunger piston on the piston rod. The perforated disc is biased by a spiral coil spring from the plunger and may be further biased from a second perforated disc. When the discs and plunger are compressed together, any product between them is squeezed out through their holes.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a mixture to produce a product such as cottage cheese. The apparatus comprises a vat for holding the mixture, a paddle for stirring the mixture, a cutting knife for cutting the product, a carriage for supporting the cutting knife and the paddle above the vat and a mechanism for moving the cutting knife and the paddle horizontally along the vat. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for mechanically retracting the paddle from the mixture so that the cutting knife can be extended into the product, a mechanism for connecting the cutting knife to the carriage and for extending the knife into the vat and for extracting the knife from the vat, and a mechanism for causing reciprocative movement at regular intervals of the cutting knife perpendicular to the path of travel of the carriage.

Abstract: A method for the preparation of drilling mud wherein solid and liquid phases of drilling mud are mixed in a vessel (2) to obtain a homogeneous suspension. After the mixing the drilling mud is caused to pass under pressure through apertures (5 or 6) provided in a stirring member (3 or 4) of a piston type, the apertures being of a diameter which is greater than maximum size of an individual solid phase particle but smaller than the diameter of aggregates of particles, to prepare dispersed drilling mud.

Abstract: In a device for dosing two-component products of a predetermined mixing ratio, the dispensing accuracy has been improved in conjunction with simple design and uncomplicated operation. According to the invention, two chambers are provided which are put under pressure by means of two pistons that are displaced simultaneously in opposite directions from a starting point. A mixer means is arranged at the closed longitudinal end of a first chamber, while the closed longitudinal end of the other chamber is connected to the mixer means over a component line that leads centrally through the first chamber.
