One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a colorant dispensing system that has a colorant dispensing head and a platform for holding a target canister into which colorant is dispensed. A light array can be used produce a light pattern in an arc of a circle at a height of an opening of the target canister. The light pattern can be focused at the opening of the target canister, to help a user align the opening with the dispensing head. The dispensing head is configured to dispense colorant within the boundary of the circle, such that the light pattern can act as a type of target for dispensing colorant into the opening of the canister to avoid issues when tinting. A control unit can be used with an interface to control the light array to accommodate different sized and shaped canisters.

The occurrence of separation or reaggregation is suppressed in a suspension such as a battery electrode slurry. A battery electrode slurry distributing apparatus includes: a circulation pipe via which a positive electrode slurry is to be circulated; and a control unit that controls the supply of the positive electrode slurry to each of coaters. In a period in which either the coater is allowed to receive the supply of the positive electrode slurry, the control unit inhibits the supply of the positive electrode slurry to the other coater. The circulation pipe is structured in a polygonal loop. The coaters are connected to respective elbow portions formed in the circulation pipe via the pipes, respectively.

A cutting knife for a rotating emulsion system is provided. The knife includes a body with a bottom surface and a leading portion, the bottom surface and the leading portion collectively form a cutting edge. The body further comprises a portion that is configured to be inserted within a slot within a cutting assembly with the bottom surface and a portion of the leading portion extending outward from the slot, the cutting assembly configured to be rotated by a shaft that extends through a center hole in the cutting assembly and is fixed to the cutting assembly, wherein the leading portion is a surface of the body that faces the direction of rotation of the body as the cutting assembly is rotated, The cutting edge and the leading portion each form a plurality of serrations along at least a portion of a length thereof.

To prevent turbulence on a surface of a plating solution as much as possible and suppress spattering and splashing of the plating solution even when the plating solution is stirred. Provided is a wave absorbing member that is attachable to a paddle moveable in a horizontal direction to stir liquid. The wave absorbing member includes a thin plate shaped body portion configured to move on a liquid surface when moving in the horizontal direction and a front end portion designed to be tapered toward an end from the body portion.

A material wetting system for wetting a powder material includes a liquid supply system, a material mixing unit, a material supply system, and a shroud assembly. The liquid supply system includes a supply line. The material mixing unit is in fluid communication with the supply line and includes a central cavity having an open upper end configured to receive a supply of powder material. The material mixing unit is configured to receive liquid from the supply line and is operatively connected to a reduced pressure source to draw air into the central cavity. The material supply system includes an orifice and is configured to feed powder material through the orifice, with the orifice disposed above the central cavity of the material mixing unit. The shroud assembly is disposed about the open upper end of the central cavity of the material mixing unit and the orifice of the material supply system.

Apparatuses and methods are provided for use in the extraction of botanical resins from plant-based source materials. The apparatuses comprise a container operable to hold liquids. The container may be closed using a first lid. The first lid may comprise a center hole through which a whisk may be inserted and locked in place. The whisk is operable to rotate using a rotation mechanism and subsequently stirs the contents of the container. The rotation may be manual or motor driven. After stirring, the first lid is removed and a second lid is attached. The second lid may comprise an integrated mesh filter and a spout so that liquid contents of the container may be easily poured out.

An elevating feed mixing system and method are provided. The system includes a support frame and a raisable platform raisable relative to the support frame. A mixing tub disposed on the raisable platform is configured to receive constituent ingredients of a feed and further configured to raise to release the feed after it is mixed.

One aspect relates to a device for mixing a polymethyl methacrylate bone cement formed of two starting components and for storing the starting components of the bone cement. The device has a tubular cartridge with a cylindrical interior. A powder is contained in a front of the cartridge and a container containing a monomer liquid is arranged in a rear of the cartridge. A discharge piston is arranged between the container and the powder, and a conveying piston is on the side of the container opposite the discharge piston. The discharge piston and the conveying piston are arranged in the interior of the cartridge movably in the longitudinal direction. A conduit is provided that connects the front part and the rear part of the interior of the cartridge to one another in a manner permeable for the monomer liquid and for gases and which is impermeable for the powder.

Syringe for dispensing foam having a syringe barrel, a nozzle and a bore to receive a syringe plunger having a front end and a back end. The syringe plunger includes at the front end thereof a waste container defined by a cylindrical side wall, a front end wall and a rear end wall, the walls being arranged such that an external cylindrical surface of the walls forms a seal with an internal surface of the syringe barrel. The waste container has an inlet aperture in the front end wall which is in communication with the syringe nozzle when the plunger is fully depressed into the syringe barrel. The waste container further has a hydrophobic vent in the rear end wall thereof which allows air to escape from the waste container while substantially preventing foam from escaping the waste container when the syringe is in use.
