A system and apparatus for opening and emptying a bag of material includes a base having a pair of opposed sides and a central aperture through which material may flow. The system includes a pair of opposed doors rotatably mounted on a pair of door shafts, the edges of the pair of opposed doors forming an opening and a plurality of piercing blades pivotally mounted to the base on a pivot rod, the blades capable of pivoting to pierce said bag. The system further includes a cutting blade mounted transversely below the opening of the opposed doors, the cutting blade capable of linear motion across the opening.

Generation of bubbles is disclosed to occur within a flow of an aqueous fluid. The bubbles may be formed within a tube of a selected diameter and the bubbles are controlled to exit the tube at a selected diameter. Generally, bubbles are formed to include a diameter of less than 1 millimeter, including less than about 20 microns.

A connecting chuck of a material cylinder for a mixer and a mixer are disclosed according to the present application. The chuck includes a chuck body, and a first axial position-limiting connector and a second axial position-limiting connector are provided on the chuck body. After the chuck body rotates around the outlet pipe of the material cylinder by a preset angle, the first axial position-limiting connector can cooperate with a first axial position-limiting cooperating member on the material cylinder, and the second axial position-limiting connector can cooperate with a second axial position-limiting cooperating member on the mixer, so that an inlet pipe of the mixer is compressed with the outlet pipe of the material cylinder for cooperation. Through the above structure, after use, the chuck body reversely rotates to an initial position and the mixer is replaced, and the chuck body is reusable without replacement.

An exemplary pharmaceutical compounding system and device for mixing materials from at least two distinct material sources can include a valve including a valve housing and a valve structure located within the valve housing. The valve structure can be configured to permit fluid to flow through the valve when in an open position, and can include a gravity wall wherein, when the valve structure is in the open position, fluid moving through the valve structure moves upward against a force of gravity when travelling through the valve and traversing the gravity wall.

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 multipurpose solution mixer and a use method thereof are provided. The multipurpose solution mixer includes a main control unit, a solution storage unit and a solution blending unit installed in a case; an operation display unit and a liquid outlet provided on the case; and an atomization humidifying unit connected with the liquid outlet, wherein the main control unit is electrically connected with other units; the operation display unit is a display screen with touch operation functions; the solution storage unit includes sealed bottles and infusion tubes; the solution blending unit includes micropumps infusion tubes and a blending chamber, the blending chamber is connected with the atomization humidifying unit via respective infusion tubes, and the operation display unit sends instructions to the main control unit to control the micropumps to extract solutions from the sealed bottles into the blending chamber, and output a mixed solution via the liquid outlet.

An apparatus configured to result in a penetration of one or more gasses into a dermis of biological skin, wherein the apparatus includes a fluid reservoir configured to contain an amount of a liquid in contact with a portion of a person's skin, and a nanobubble generator configured to inject nanobubbles into the liquid, wherein the nanobubbles contain the one or more gasses. The contact of the liquid containing the nanobubbles with the person's skin results in a cutaneous uptake of a gas contained in the nanobubbies into the person's skin, which may be beneficial in treating an ailment, such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
