The present invention relates to a test tube vibration transfer engagement element adapted to be linearly movable forward, X-direction, and in reverse, X-direction, adapted to transfer vibrations in X-direction and X-direction to test tubes. Moreover, it is disclosed a test tube linear shake actuator, a test tube linear shake actuator and carousel arrangement and a method for vibration transfer from a vibration transfer engagement element to a test tube included in a carousel arrangement.

An inner core assembly for a vibration mixer, comprising a motor assembly and a compression assembly located above the motor assembly, wherein the motor assembly comprises a vibration motor, a rotor shaft of the vibration motor is connected to the compression assembly by using an eccentric structure, the compression assembly comprises a stage, the stage is connected to a pressure plate mounting bracket by using a guiding shaft, the pressure plate mounting bracket is capable of sliding along the guiding shaft, the rotor shaft of the vibration motor rotates and drives, by using the eccentric structure, the compression assembly to perform reciprocating motion. Compared with the prior art, curved reciprocating motion of the stage is achieved through eccentric motion, which has lower structural costs, a lower failure rate, and a longer service life than a motor in the prior art.

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 processing vessel (1) provided with a material inlet (2, 3, 4, 5) and a processed material outlet (25) wherein the material flows continuously through the vessel which is split into a series of zones (6, 7, 8) through which the material passes wherein the zones are shielded from each other by controlling the rate at which the material flows and an increasing level of vacuum is applied inconsecutive zones and the system is provided with acoustic energy which imparts energy to the process material by virtue of the contact between the zone dividers and the process material and processing material in such a vessel.

An apparatus can include a generally planar portion approximately in a plane. The apparatus can also include a lip portion extending in a direction generally orthogonal to the plane. The generally planar portion is joined to the lip portion at a circumferential edge of the generally planar portion to form a cover for a beverage container. Likewise, a method can include providing contact information on a disposable cover adapted to cover a beverage container. The contact information is not necessarily provided by the manufacturer of the beverage or beverage container. The method can also include receiving contact from a user of the disposable cover. The method can further include coordinating the delivery of a service to the user of the disposable cover responsive to the contact received from the user.

A waste absorbing media composition for use in an agitating waste non-contact toilet apparatus comprises an absorbent material, a liquid, and an indicator detectable by a sensor of the agitating waste non-contact toilet apparatus.

A sample purification system includes a container assembly bounding a sample purification compartment and having an upper end and an opposing lower end, the sample purification compartment comprising mixing zones and settling zones. A plurality of shielding elements are positioned within the sample purification compartment so as to at least partially separate adjacent mixing zones and settling zones or separate adjacent mixing zones, the mixing zones being in fluid communication with the settling zones. A mixing element is disposed within each mixing zone. An acoustic wave settler is aligned with a portion of the container assembly, the acoustic wave settler being configured to emit an acoustic wave through the portion of the container assembly and a mixture disposed therein, the acoustic wave coalescing fluid phase droplets disposed in the mixture to increase the buoyancy or density of the fluid phase droplets.

A food chilling apparatus for rapidly decreasing the temperature of liquid and semiliquid cooked foods. The food chilling apparatus having a stand portion, a base portion, and a pot portion. The stand portion having a motor, an attachment portion, and a vertical structural member. The base portion having a baseplate, an output shaft, and a cradle, wherein the pot portion is removably attached to the cradle. The food chilling apparatus further comprising a paddle.

Device and method embodiments discussed herein may be used to enhance a brewing process, steeping process or infusing process. Such infusion processes may be used for making coffee, tea, oil, alcohol or any other suitable infused liquid where a user desires to enhance or control such a process.

The present application is directed towards systems for adding components to materials being fluidized in a vibratory mixer by use of atomizers or sprayers. A mechanical system can fluidizes, mix, coat, dry, combine, or segregate materials. The system may comprise a vibratory mixer, mixing vessel containing a first material and a sprayer to introduce a second material. The vibratory mixer may generate a fluidized bed of a first material and the sprayer, coupled to the mixing vessel, may introduce a second material onto the fluidized bed to mix the materials in a uniform and even fashion.
