Devices, systems, and apparatuses for heating a liquid are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a heater includes a base comprising a generally planar surface and at least two heater pillars and a sensor pillar configured on the base. The at least two heater pillars each comprise heating elements. The sensor pillar includes a thermal sensor. A mixing element is configured on the generally planar surface of the base and is coupled to a mixing motor. When powered, the heating elements of the heater pillars are configured to generate heat and the mixing motor is configured to cause the mixing element to rotate.

Disclosure provides a two-segment electromagnet stirring member, and a two-segment electromagnet semi-solid die-casting apparatus including the same, and a die-casting method using the same. The two-segment electromagnet stirring member includes a plurality of magnetic field generation parts therein, and includes a first electromagnetic stirring part and a second electromagnetic stirring part separated from each other. The first electromagnetic stirring part and the second electromagnetic stirring part are coupled to each other in a ring shape to surround an outer circumferential surface of a sleeve to perform electromagnetic stirring to molten metal in the sleeve, and are coupled to each other so as to position the plurality of magnetic field generation parts at radially equal gaps around the sleeve.

A wireless sensor measures properties of a substance and transmits the properties to a remote wireless receiver. The wireless sensor can be fully enclosed within a container containing the substance, allowing remote monitoring of the properties of the substance without compromising integrity of a closed system.

The invention relates to an easily personalized magnetic stirrer (1), which has a base body (2). The hood (5) can be put over this base body (2). The receiving space (6) for inserting a decorative inlay is then formed between the hood (5) and the base body (2). The receiving space (6) and a decorative inlay (7) inserted therein can be viewed from the outside through an at least area-wise transparent set-up area (4), which is arranged or formed on the hood (5) (see FIG. 1 for comparison).

The invention relates to a system for preparing a formulation in a container, comprising an agitating device, said agitating device including means for creating a conical depression within the formulation inside said container. Said system is arranged to prepare a formulation consisting of a nail polish inside a bottle.

Processes and apparatuses for producing biologically-active, protein-rich microparticles under ambient conditions are disclosed. A protein solution is atomized and collected in a dehydration solvent that is being mixed. The resulting protein microparticles retain high specific activity without the need for large amounts of stabilizing excipients.
