A deagglomerator for use in resizing masses of cells. The deagglomerator may include a plurality of apertures defined by a plurality of front and back edges. The masses of cells may be passed through the plurality of apertures from the front to the back, and from the back to the front, repeatedly. The deagglomerator may also include a plurality of blades that may aid in the deagglomeration of the cell masses. The deagglomerator may be configured between two syringes so that the tissue may be passed back and forth from the first syringe through the device to the second syringe, and then back again from the second syringe through the device and to the first syringe. In this way, the masses of cells may be properly deagglomerated.

Apparatuses and methods for decoupling an element that is bonded to a surface by an adhesive are provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a body, a first spool that is rotationally coupled to the body, and a cable having a first cable end portion that is coupled to the first spool, a second cable end portion that is coupled to the body, and a cable intermediate portion that is disposed between the first cable end portion and the second cable end portion. The apparatus is configured to be positioned adjacent to at least one of the element and the surface with the cable intermediate portion disposed adjacent to the adhesive such that when the first spool is rotated, the cable wraps about the first spool, thereby pulling the cable intermediate portion through the adhesive.

The Present invention provides a cooking device for cutting a foodstuff into a prescribed shape, a cooking method using said device, and a foodstuff. Provided is a cooking device that is provided with a cutting portion and a handle to which the cutting portion is attached, wherein: the cutting portion includes a cutting blade and a guide; the cutting blade includes a wave-shaped portion in which trough portions, which are shaped so as to recede downward in a direction approaching a foodstuff to be cut, and crest portions, which are shaped so as to project upward in the opposite direction to the downward direction, appear alternatively; in the cutting blade, crests, which are the tops of the cutting blade crest portions, and troughs, which are the bottoms of the cutting blade trough portions, appear alternatively; and in the guide, at least a portion of a guide surface, which follows the surface of the foodstuff to be cut, is located between the cutting blade crests and cutting blade troughs in the vertical direction.

The invention relates to a food cutter. The food cutter includes a vessel cup; a fixing base assembled in the vessel cup; a supporting body assembled to the vessel cup; a locking mechanism assembled in the supporting body; a screw cutter extending through the supporting body and the locking mechanism; and a handheld host connected to the screw cutter. The locking mechanism includes a resilient member, a movable bracket, a shaft sleeve, two sliding half threaded sheaths and a rotating cover.

A tube scraping tool comprises: a handle; and a blade, carried by the handle. The tool has first and second laterally spaced apart portions for engaging the tube outer diameter (OD) surface during a drawing of the tool along the tube. The blade has a cutting edge trailing the first and second portions during the drawing and laterally between the first and second portions.

Knife arrangement for use in for example a slicer apparatus for slicing meat, and in particular fish meat, wherein the knife arrangement comprises two reciprocating knives 40, 40′, each knife 40, 40′ has a blade 54 with a sharp edge 55 and an opposite edge 56, and blade material between said edges, where adjacent a first end 57 of each knife 40, 40′ an engagement member 58 is arranged, which engagement member 58 protrudes perpendicular to the plane of the blade 40, 40′.

A mandoline has a food holder and a food pusher, the food holder being slidable along the body and the food pusher being rotatably mounted on the food holder, the food pusher having a first pusher wall and a second pusher wall, the second pusher wall being in the form of a substantially flat plate and the first pusher wall being arranged perpendicular to the second pusher wall and being jaw-shaped in nature.

A food processing attachment for a food processing device includes a rotational adapter configured to be selectively coupled with a drive system of the food processing device. A food holder is coupled to the rotational adapter and having a base, wherein the food holder is selectively rotated by the rotational adapter. A central spear extends perpendicularly from a center of the base. A plurality of radial flanges extend perpendicularly from the base, wherein each radial flange of the plurality of flanges is discontinuous with the other radial flanges, wherein the central spear and the plurality of radial flanges are adapted to secure a food item in a processing space and in communication with the rotational adapter. A blade is coupled to an operable carriage and is adapted to selectively engage the food item within the processing space to remove at least a portion of the food item.
