A substrate processing apparatus includes: a mixer that mixes a first phosphoric acid and an additive serving as raw materials of a processing liquid with each other at a predetermined mixing ratio, thereby preparing a mixed liquid; a mixing ratio corrector that corrects the mixing ratio of the raw materials of the processing liquid; a processing unit that processes a substrate with the processing liquid. The mixer includes a mixing tank that stores the mixed liquid, a first phosphoric acid supply that supplies the first phosphoric acid to the mixing tank, and an additive supply that supplies the additive to the mixing tank. The mixing ratio corrector includes a liquid line through which the mixed liquid is delivered from the mixer to the processing unit, and a second phosphoric acid supply connected to the liquid line so as to supply second phosphoric acid to the liquid line.

A receptacle having a plurality of interconnected chambers arranged to permit multiple process steps or processes to be performed independently or simultaneously. The receptacles are manufactured to separate liquid from dried reagents and to maintain the stability of the dried reagents. An immiscible liquid, such as an oil, is included to control loading of process materials, facilitate mixing and reconstitution of dried reagents, limit evaporation, control heating of reaction materials, concentrate solid support materials to prevent clogging of fluid connections, provide minimum volumes for fluid transfers, and to prevent process materials from sticking to chamber surfaces. The receptacles can be adapted for use in systems having a processing instrument that includes an actuator system for selectively moving fluid substances between chambers and a detector. The actuator system can be arranged to concentrate an analyte present in a sample. The detector can be used to detect an optical signal emitted by the contents of the receptacle.

A cold brew coffee extraction device for adjusting the sonic vibration based on the sound signal includes: a current support extended in one direction and configured to apply an alternating current in a tangential direction of an outer peripheral portion; a magnetic vibrator accommodating one end of the current support therein, and configured to generate a magnetic field in a direction of crossing over the current support to be vibrated in a longitudinal direction of the current support due to a change in a polarity of the alternating current; a plate coupled to the magnetic vibrator to transmit the vibration to a fluid including a particulate matter; and a vibration adjustment circuit configured to, in a first mode, adjust the vibration only based on setting information inputted through a user interface, and in a second mode, to adjust the vibration based on the setting information and an external sound source.

A concrete compaction system includes an unbalance exciter for concrete compaction, a compaction detection device for detecting progress of the compaction in the concrete, and a vibration device for generating a haptic feedback when a prescribed progress of the compaction has been detected by the compaction detection device. An electric motor may drive the unbalance exciter and may be powered by an electric power supply and a converter device for converting an electric current from the electric power supply to a drive current for the electric motor. The compaction detection device may comprise a measurement device for measuring the current drawn from the electric motor. The compaction detection device may also comprise an evaluation device for evaluating the current drawn measured by the measurement device, for determining therefrom the progress of the compaction in the concrete, and for detecting whether a prescribed progress of the compaction has been achieved.

A compaction system has a compaction device with an electric motor for generating a compaction movement, an energy device for providing electric energy for the electric motor, a measurement device for measuring the current drawn by the electric motor, and an evaluation device for evaluating the current draw as measured by the measurement device and for determining, from this determination, the compaction progress in the medium being compacted. The evaluation device is arranged at least partly in an external device, spatially separate from the energy device and/or from the compaction device.
