Systems, methods and apparatuses to make nail polish are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include an apparatus, which may be implemented on a system, to make nail polish from one or more ink colors. The apparatus can include an ink retention unit configured to hold or store one or more ink storage containers and/or an ink deposit component and mechanically coupled to the ink retention unit. In one embodiment, the ink deposit component includes an actuator to control or regulate ink that is released from the ink retention unit. In addition, a nail polish holder area under the ink deposit component can be configured to receive the ink released from the ink deposit component

A sample tube includes a cylindrical wall and a first end and a second end. The first end of the sample tube is closed by a base, such that a sample-receiving space with a longitudinal axis is formed between base and cylindrical wall. The second end has a closure piece connected releasably thereto. A weight element is received inside the receiving space and is shaped and dimensioned in such a way that the weight element can rotate freely in the receiving space only about the longitudinal axis of the latter. The application further relates to a method and a device with which a sample located in the sample tube can be dispersed or homogenized by rotational movement of the sample tube.

A cosmetic manufacturing apparatus includes a main body providing a cosmetic manufacturing space; a part supply unit providing at least one of a mixing container for accommodating cosmetic materials and a component constituting a cosmetic container; a cosmetic material supply unit for discharging one or more cosmetic materials stored in a cosmetic material storage unit to the mixing container; a conveying means for moving at least one of the mixing container and the component constituting the cosmetic container which have been provided to the part supply unit; and a control unit for controlling at least one of the cosmetic material supply unit and the conveying means so that the one or more cosmetic materials stored in the cosmetic material storage unit are mixed and accommodated into at least one of the mixing container and the component constituting the cosmetic container.

This disclosure relates to a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus, a control method thereof, and a cosmetic manufacturing system. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus including: a control unit for calculating a first composition ratio based on the user's skin condition measured by a measurement sensor, receiving cosmetic purchase history of the user from an operating server, and calculating a second composition ratio by modifying the first composition ratio with a preset algorithm based on the purchase history; and a cosmetic material supply unit which discharges cosmetic materials according to one of the first composition ratio or the second composition ratio, so that a cosmetic is manufactured according to the one of the first composition ratio or the second composition ratio.

Processes related to rotationally mixing a liquid composition that includes a consumer product adjunct ingredient, for example by subjecting the composition to multiple rotation cycles that include horizontally rotating the composition in a first direction and in a second direction that is counter to the first direction. Related systems and apparatuses. Processes for making consumer products from compositions thusly mixed.

A method and a corresponding apparatus for monitoring a drive mechanism of an automated inspection system for inducing motion to a container partially filled with a liquid. The method includes capturing measurement data of a surface of the liquid in the container, extracting form data regarding a form of the surface of the liquid from the measurement data and detecting whether the container is in motion based on the form data. The apparatus includes a measuring device and a processor operationally connected to the measuring device, wherein the measuring device is adapted to capture measurement data of a surface of the liquid in the container, and the processor is adapted to extract form data regarding a form of the surface from the measurement data, to detect whether the container is in motion based on the form data.

An insert for a liquid-holding container may include a body comprising a wall, an open top end and a bottom end, and a generally tubular lumen extending from the open top end to the open bottom end. The insert may include a plurality of first openings formed in the wall, the first openings being situated between the top and bottom ends, wherein each of the plurality of first openings defines an area, and wherein the plurality of first openings have substantially the same dimensions. The insert may include one or more second openings formed in the wall, the one or more second openings being situated between the top and bottom ends, wherein each of the one or more second openings defines an area that is greater than the area defined by any of the first openings, wherein the one or more second openings have substantially the same dimensions.

Present invention relates to a new soft/bag packaging mixing system and method that allows the mixing of materials contained in soft/bag packages and obtaining of a homogeneous mixture by utilizing the physical characteristics of said packages through applying different types of forces.

An insert for a liquid-holding container may include a body comprising a wall, open first and second ends, and a lumen extending from the open first end to the open second end. The insert also may include a plurality of first openings formed in the wall, the first openings being situated between the first and second ends, and each of the first openings defining an area, and one or more second openings formed in the wall, the one or more second openings being situated between the first and second ends, each of the one or more second openings defining an area that is greater than the area defined by any of the first openings, where at least one of the one or more second openings is situated closer to the first end than any of the first openings, and wherein each of the first and second openings is sized to permit the passage of a liquid.

A device for stirring at least one liquid includes a fluidics module rotatable about an axis of rotation, a liquid chamber for the liquid within the fluidics module, an introducer for introducing mutually separate phase volumes of a phase different from the liquid, said phase volumes having a different density than the liquid, into the liquid within the liquid chamber, and a driving device for subjecting the fluidics module to such a rotation that the phase volumes are moved radially inward or outward in relation to the axis of rotation through the liquid due to the different density of the phase volumes and of the liquid and due to the centrifugal forces caused by the rotation.
