The abstract of the disclosure is a thermal-ultrafine bubble generation unit which is configured to generate thermal-ultrafine bubbles by bringing a liquid into film boiling. More specifically, the thermal-ultrafine bubble generation unit in the disclosure includes a temperature detection element that is configured to detect generation of the film boiling.

Disclosed is a method and a device for producing a homogenous metastable supersaturated solution. The homogenous metastable supersaturated solution is comprised of a liquid phase solvent and one or more solutes wherein these individual solutes are gases under conditions of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in a normal atmospheric environment. When the device is used for creating oxygen saturated metastable solutions, the oxygen levels reached to at least 3 times the maximum level that can be detected by commercial dissolved oxygen probes. The device can be used to treat any medical condition that can benefit from the use of high oxygenated or any other highly saturated gas solutions. The device can be used for any non-medical need where a highly saturated gas in solution is needed.

In order to efficiently produce a liquid containing ultrafine bubbles of a desired gas, an ultrafine bubble-containing liquid producing apparatus includes a gas dissolving unit that dissolves a predetermined gas into a liquid, and a UFB generating unit that generates ultrafine bubbles in the liquid in which the predetermined gas is dissolved. A CPU performs control under a first condition in a case of causing the gas dissolving unit to operate in a circulation route passing through the dissolving unit. The CPU performs control under a second condition different from the first condition in a case of causing the UFB generating unit to operate in a circulation route passing through the UFB generating unit.

An agitator for disposition within a cavity of a vessel body containing a particulate includes a weighted portion and a stirring portion. The agitator is positioned and disposed relative to the vessel body to move the stirring portion through the particulate in response to movement of the weighted portion in response to gravitational and/or inertial forces acting on the weighted portion due to movement of the vessel body. Particulate storage vessel arrangements and methods of particulate mixing are also described.

A gas mixing system for semiconductor fabrication includes a mixing block. The mixing block defines a gas mixing chamber, a first gas channel fluidly coupled to the gas mixing chamber at a first exit location, and a second gas channel fluidly coupled to the gas mixing chamber at a second exit location, wherein the first exit location is diametrically opposite the second exit location relative to the gas mixing chamber and the second gas channel has a bend of 90 degrees or less between an entrance of the second gas channel and the second exit location.

A beverage apparatus, the beverage apparatus being hand-holdable by a user of the beverage apparatus to be portable, can include a beverage chamber housing that includes a chamber for storing a consumable liquid. The beverage apparatus can include a dispensing assembly that includes a receptacle. The receptacle can retain a vessel. The vessel can include an electronic tag and can contain an additive. The dispensing assembly can be operatively controllable by a controller to output the additive from the vessel into the consumable liquid. The beverage apparatus can include one or more sensors, devices, or assemblies that can be used to detect a volume of liquid in the chamber or a liquid level in the chamber. The beverage apparatus can include an apparatus processing portion (ACP) and an apparatus database portion.

A handheld mixing vessel, with removable lid, operatively containing a whisk and infuser enclosed system and a strainer to keep contents from flowing through the mouth opening at the top of the bottle. A hollow agitator positioned operatively near the top of the bottle and sits near the bottom of the bottle and thereby mixes fluid contained within the vessel, infuses fluid in the vessel and strains contents as they are poured out. An embodiment wherein a hand shaken motion will allow the whisk to mix and combine contents inside the structure. The enclosed feature of the mixing component allows for other uses such as but not limited to infusing tea, fruit, ice or other contents. The structure is also easy to clean and not mechanically complex. While also demonstrating the benefits of less noise created by no contact with the walls of the mixing structure and thus, avoiding the possibility of breakdown, scratching or other damage internally from contact.

Systems for filling and dispensing free-flowing contents into and out of a container, the container comprising: a top and a bottom, a plurality of vertical walls extending between the bottom and the top, an ice portal disposed in the top, the ice portal having a removable cap for filling an ice chamber with ice, a removable container cap, a tube vertically disposed in the container cap, the tube extending between a beverage bag and a gate valve above the container cap, an air hose disposed in the container cap parallel with the tube, an air bag attached to a bottom end of the air hose, the air bag being adjacent to the beverage bag, such that a volume between the bags and an interior of the plurality of vertical walls is the ice chamber, and a beverage flow portal protruding longitudinally from a side of the gate valve.

A cup holder assembly includes a plurality of contacts that are configured to contact a cup so that a majority of an opening into the cup is uncovered by the cup holder, and the plurality of contacts are connectable to one or more cup holder guide rods of an assembly that dispenses and mixes or blends beverages

A gas-liquid mixing control system includes a liquid supply unit, a liquid pressure regulating valve, a gas supply unit, a gas pressure regulating valve, a mixing tank, an output pipe, and a non-electric control flow regulator. The mixing tank communicates with said regulating valves; liquid and gas are mixed in the mixing tank to form mixed fluid. The first end and second end of output pipe communicate with the mixing tank and the machine respectively, making mixed fluid output from mixing tank to machine through the output pipe. The mixed fluid in first end and second end have third flow and fourth flow respectively. Said flow regulator communicates with the output pipe; the mixed fluid passing through said flow regulator has fifth flow. The first flow is not lower than at least one of the fourth and the fifth flow. Additionally, a control method for gas-liquid mixing is disclosed.
