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.

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.

A light emitting device mixer includes at least two bowl feeders, each including a bowl capable of holding workpieces, and a driving unit capable of causing vibration to the bowl. The bowl feeders include a moving passage through which the workpieces may move from one bowl feeder to an adjacent bowl feeder.

The present disclosure provides methods for manufacturing a shelf-stable food product. In a general embodiment, the methods include acoustically mixing the food product with an acoustic mixing device during thermal processing of the food product. The methods of the present disclosure provide several advantages including, but not limited to, rapid achievement of a uniform temperature distribution during thermal processing, retention of nutrient content and organoleptic properties of the food product, and retention of particle integrity in the food product during and after mixing.

A toilet apparatus has a waste material receiving bowl with an opening to receive an absorbent media and indicator and a sensor to detect a presence of the indicator in the material receiving bowl when the indicator is present in the material receiving bowl and transmit a signal indicating the indicator is present in the material receiving bowl. A control circuit receives the signal from the sensor, processes the signal to determine the indicator is present in the material receiving bowl, and causes one or more actions to be taken by the toilet apparatus based on determining the indicator is present in the material receiving bowl.

A combined lid and strainer device for a paint container features an outer mounting rim configured for mated fitting onto a rim of the paint container. Within a central circular area surrounded by the rim, there is a perforated a straining area through which paint is pourable. A movable cover is selectively movable between a closed position overlying the perforated straining area, and open positions withdrawn therefrom to allow strained pouring of the paint therethrough. Raised features on the cover are used to secure the cover closed when the lidded container is placed in a paint shaker. A sealing membrane is used, at least initially, seal the perforated area in air-tight fashion to maintain paint freshness. Securement features are usable to secure the flap in both closed and open positions.

An apparatus for fluidizing particles present as a particle bed and, optionally, objects included in the particle bed comprises at least one vertically movably supported container that defines a processing space for receiving the particle bed; an oscillation generator by which the container can be set into a vertical oscillation during operation; and a control unit for setting the frequency and/or amplitude of the vertical oscillation.
