A baby bottle blender includes a baby bottle having a top collar with external threads and a bottom collar with external threads. A nipple has an anti-colic air vent. The nipple cap is internally threaded to be removable threaded onto the top collar of the baby bottle and holds the nipple extending through a central aperture of the nipple cap onto the top collar. A top cover snaps over the nipple cap and covers the nipple. An agitating unit is centrally retained within a bottom attaching cap of the baby bottle. Next, a base member has a top recess to engage with the agitating unit in the bottom attaching cap on the baby bottle. An electrical mechanism in the base member is for operating the agitating unit, so that the agitating unit will mix formula within a liquid placed through the top collar of the baby bottle in approximately seven (7) seconds to thoroughly blend the formula.

This fine particle production method involves a dissolving step in which a stirrer having a rotating stirring blade is used to dissolve at least one type of fine particle raw material in a solvent to obtain a fine particle raw material solution, and a precipitation step in which the fine particle raw material solution and at least one type of precipitation solvent for precipitating the fine particle raw material from the fine particle raw material solution are introduced between at least two treatment surfaces which are arranged oppositely one another, can move closer to and farther apart from one another, and at least one of which can rotate relative to the other, and the fine particle raw material solution and the at least one type of precipitation solvent are mixed in a thin film fluid formed between the at least two treatment surfaces, and the fine particles are precipitated. The stirring energy is determined by the stirring time conditions of the stirrer, the circumferential velocity conditions of the stirring blade, and the temperature conditions of the fine particle raw material solution, and in the dissolving step, the stirring energy is varied by changing at least one of the aforementioned conditions, and by changing the stirring energy, the degree of crystallization and the crystal form of the fine particles obtained in the precipitation step are controlled.

A droplet actuator for manipulating a fluid using an electrical field includes a droplet arranged on or over an electrode. The droplet includes a set of beads arranged substantially in a monolayer on or over a surface of the droplet actuator.

The present invention relates to a system for dissolving at least one detergent tablet or detergent granulate in water and thereby creating a detergent liquid, said system comprising a chamber (103) for dissolving said tablets or granulate, wherein said chamber comprises an opening (105) for receiving said detergent tablet and said water and a detergent liquid outlet (135, 137). The chamber further comprises an inner colander (125) for positioning said at least one tablet or detergent granulate. Thereby, a very efficient dissolving process can be performed, and a uniform detergent liquid is obtained. By positioning the tablets or granulate inside the colander, it is ensured that all sides of the tablet are in contact with the liquid in the chamber.

A method of treating water includes directing a stream of water towards a lateral side of a water treatment substance body contained within a holder. The water stream serves to abrade the water treatment substance body, thereby to dose the water with the water treatment substance. Dosed water is thus formed. The dosed water is allowed to pass through at least one opening in the holder.

A dispensing system for delivery of a dispersant from a canister containing an erodible but cakeable water dispersant wherein the cakeable water dispersant in a one piece caked condition falls to a bottom of a divergent walled canister so the water flowing through a bottom portion of the canister continues to maintain erodible contact with the dispersant as the water disperant is consumed.

A clotting serum production device including a main chamber, an inlet housing, and an outlet port. The main chamber is defined by a first end wall, a second end wall opposite to the first end wall, and a side wall extending between the first end wall and the second end wall. The inlet housing extends from the first end wall. The inlet housing includes a first inlet port, a second inlet port, and a first conduit extending between the first inlet port and a second conduit. The second conduit extends between the second inlet port and the main chamber. The inlet housing is configured to provide one-way fluid flow from the first inlet port to the second inlet port and to provide one-way fluid flow from the second inlet port to the main chamber. An outlet port is in fluid communication with the main chamber and provides fluid communication with an exterior of the clotting serum production device.

The present application relates to improvements in machines for the preparation of beverage and food products, and in particular to such a machine which utilizes a compressed tablet of food or beverage product, which is inserted into the brew chamber of the machine, into which a liquid is directed to break up or dissolve the tablet. The machine for preparing a beverage or food product from a compressed disc of at least one ingredient includes a sealable brew chamber, and said brew chamber includes means for mounting the disc so that it is able to spin freely around a central axis. The brew chamber further includes an at least one nozzle having an outlet in the brew chamber located to direct a jet of liquid at a peripheral edge of the disc mounted in the brew chamber.

A loop dissolution system specifically suited for dissolving uranium compounds in an acidic bath that continually circulates the acid over the uranium compound to be dissolved. The dissolution system includes an upper material feed dissolution plate on which the material to be dissolved is fed, a lower mixing and dissolution ring and a drop pipe system connecting and establishing fluid communication between the upper material feed dissolution plate and the lower mixing and dissolution ring. A pump for circulating the acidic fluid has an intake from the lower mixing and dissolution ring and an outlet that directs a first portion of a fluid to the upper material feed dissolution plate and a second portion of the fluid back into the lower mixing and dissolution ring to circulate the material suspended in the fluid within the lower mixing and dissolution ring to promote turbulence and facilitate dissolution.

The disclosed bag for mixing materials may include a front wall, a back wall, a mixing chamber between the front wall and the back wall, a first sidewall between the front wall and the back wall and defining a first side of the mixing chamber, a second sidewall between the front wall and the back wall defining a second, opposite side of the mixing chamber, and a port positioned to provide fluid access to the mixing chamber from a bottom of the mixing chamber, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are shaped to alternate a direction of fluid flow when fluid is introduced into the mixing chamber through the port. Various other components, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
