Systems and methods for continuous production of filled capsules. The system includes a continuous blender for receiving and continuously blending ingredients discharged from one or more feeders to form a blended mixture. The system includes a capsule filling machine to receive empty capsules and fill the mixture in them to provide filled capsules. The system includes multiple sensors configured at predefined positions within the system to monitor the attributes associated with the ingredients, mixture, empty capsules, and filled capsules. The system includes a control unit to control the feeders, blender, capsule filling machine and other components of the system to bring the attributes within a predefined range to ensure that the filled capsules are of predefined quality.

The apparatus and methods of the current invention utilize a container having an interlock that prevents filling the container, dispensing from the container, or both, as well as a detecting mechanism that senses a unique identifier associated with a particular product allowing its use in conjunction with the container.

Modularized components assembled dispensing nozzle, including operating components in the category of a poppet valve assembly, an automatic shutoff device, a hand operating lever for providing a turn on or shutoff of the dispensing of fluid through the nozzle, and a connected spout that delivers fluid to the fill pipe and fuel tank for a vehicle or fluid accepting container. Each of the identified components having been redesigned for assembly in modularized form, such as a modular cartridge for the poppet valve, a modular cartridge for the automatic shutoff device, a modularized operating hand lever, and a spout and its gland and retaining nut that provide for high speed interconnection with the nozzle body, during assembly, or servicing. Each of these modularized components can be installed, during assembly of the manufactured nozzle, or can be replaced, out in the field, by a service person, as a modularized component or cartridge assembly.

A filler element for filling containers with liquid includes a housing, a housing opening area, a protective space, a channel formed therein, a liquid valve in the channel, a dispensing opening downstream from the valve, and a fill-level-determining element comprising first and second ends. The fill-level-determining element is routed through the housing and extends by the first end into the dispensing opening during filling and is routed out of the housing by the second end at a housing opening area in a sealed manner with a protective space directly adjacent to it. The protective space holds a length of the fill-level-determining element that corresponds to an axial adjustment lift. The protective space opens by an axial opening lift of the fill-level-determining element that differs from its axial adjustment lift. The protective space opens by the axial opening lift of the fill-level-determining element into a space formed in the housing.

An apparatus for producing packages of infusion products, such as a bag filled with a dosed quantity of a product, a tag and a length of thread attached at opposite ends to the bag and to the tag respectively, includes a closing station of the filled bag, a feeding group of the closed bag and of the tag, a sewing station for sewing each length of thread to the tags and to the bags. and an inlet station to a winding group for winding the stitched length of the thread, around the bag.

A zero fuel time is determined and presented to an operator of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Zero fuel time may be determined based on a fuel burn rate and an amount of remaining fuel. A return to base time is determined and presented to an operator of a UAV. Return to base time may be determined based on a location of the UAV and a location of a base. Zero fuel time and return to base time are presented to an operator of a UAV proximate to one another using contrasting and/or varying visual characteristics to ease comparison and identification of this data.

A measuring device of Chinese medicine granules includes a dispensing tray, a fixed discharging cover, a discharging driving cover, and a discharging anti-blocking structure mounted coaxially. The dispensing tray, the fixed discharging cover, and the discharging driving cover are provided with storage holes, measuring holes, and discharging holes, respectively. The discharging anti-blocking structure includes a bottom case, a briquetting holder, an anti-blocking briquette, a spring, and a cover. The bottom case is fixed on the dispensing tray and offsets from the storage hole. The bottom case is provided with dispensing holes therein positioned corresponding to the discharging holes. Each of the dispensing holes is provided with one anti-blocking briquette therein. The briquetting holder is connected to the anti-blocking briquette and is disposed in the bottom case. The spring is sleeved on the briquetting holder and is in contact with the cover.
