A mixing machine, configured to receive a receiving device in order to form a mixing machine includes a support defining a receiving housing, able to receive a receiving device, the receiving device being configured to receive first and second capsules containing respectively a first formulation and a second formulation, the two capsules being fluidly linked to each other, an actuation system, movable inside the receiving housing to exert a pressure force on the receiving device and/or on the first and/or the second capsule(s), and a coupling mechanism, movable relative to the support and configured: in an insertion position, not to interfere with the insertion and the withdrawal of the receiving device into/from the receiving housing, and in a coupling position, to exert a force on an actuation face of the receiving device.

A receiving device for forming a mixing machine when the receiving device is inserted into a manufacturing apparatus, the receiving device includes: a first receiving location configured to receive a first capsule containing a first formulation, a second receiving location configured to receive a second capsule containing a second formulation, the two capsules configured to be fluidly linked to each other, a first actuation face, a second actuation face, opposite to the first actuation face, a heater element configured to heat at least one of capsules when the receiving device equipped with the capsules is received in the mixing machine, a first electrical contact track for the power supply to the heater element, located on a first connection face of the receiving device, and a second contact track for the power supply to the heater element, located on a second connection face of the receiving device.

A hydraulic vibration generation device or hydraulic motor is provided. The device includes a manifold having an inner volume with a pressure chamber extending into the inner volume, a fluid inlet orifice and a fluid outlet orifice. The device further includes a vibration generating member having a grooved drive and an off-center weight and retaining plates. The inner volume receives the vibration generating member within the inner volume. The vibration generating member rotates and generates vibration in response to hydraulic fluid flowing into the manifold through the inlet orifice and directed through the pressure chamber, relieves pressure upon exiting the pressure chamber and out of the manifold through the outlet orifice. Also provided a hydraulic motor with a same manifold and pressure chamber, but with a power generating member having the same groove drive without and off-center weight. Rotation of the power generating member generates power.

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.

Apparatus to deliver predetermined forces, containers to hold particulate material and media, media, and the associated parameters for operating such equipment along with methods and compositions provided by the apparatus and methods.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for providing asymmetric oscillations to a container. The container may include a fluid, a particle, and/or a gas. A vibration driver attached to the container provides asymmetric oscillations. A controller connected to the vibration driver controls an amplitude, frequency, and shape of the asymmetric oscillations. An amplifier amplifies the asymmetric oscillations in response to the controller. A sensor disposed on the vibration driver provides feedback to the controller.

A mechanism for generating an orbital motion for mixing a fluidic sample. The mechanism may comprise a first and second cogwheel each having a through hole and a plurality of cogs. A drive shaft having a concentric first section and an eccentric second section is guided through a respective through hole of the first and second cogwheel. A coupling body engages part of the cogs to thereby generate the orbital motion of the second cogwheel and a sample holder to be mounted so as to follow a motion of the second cogwheel upon rotating the first section of the drive shaft.

A paddle for agitating a plating solution by reciprocating parallel to a surface of a substrate is disclosed. The paddle includes a plurality of vertically-extending agitation rods. Each agitation rod includes: a planar portion perpendicular to a reciprocating direction of the paddle; two slope surfaces extending from side ends of the planar portion in directions closer to each other, the two slope surfaces being symmetric with respect to a center line of the agitation rod, the center line being perpendicular to the planar portion; and a tip portion connected with the two slope surfaces.

A multi-phase cosmetic composition mixing pack for mixing immiscible components of a multi-phase cosmetic composition such that they are temporarily miscible includes a container for holding the multi-phase cosmetic composition that has a first open end. The mixing pack further includes a mixing assembly disposed within the container for mixing immiscible components of the multi-phase cosmetic composition such that they are temporarily miscible, and an actuator assembly for actuating the mixing assembly. The actuator assembly comprises a stem receivable within the first open end of the container. The stem includes a cam surface extending along at least a portion of a length of the stem, and a cam follower surface defined on the mixing assembly, wherein linear reciprocating motion of the stem causes rotation of the mixing assembly.
