A method of aseptically distributing fluid to a plurality of vessels includes securing the plurality of vessels relative to a hub and flowing fluid through an input tube into a plenum of the hub such that a substantially equal amount of fluid flows from the plenum into each of the vessels simultaneously. The vessels are positioned in the same plane relative to one another with each vessel having an inflow conduit extending from the hub to the vessel such that an arc segment is formed between the hub and the vessel.

A fitment assembly for use with a spout of a fluid container. The assembly includes a fitment and a poppet seal with a flexible element. The fitment includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The poppet seal extends from the bottom portion into the top portion. An attachment portion secures the flexible element within the bottom portion of the fitment. The flexible element provides a closing force to move the poppet seal from a closed to an open position. The poppet seal has a closed position, an open position, and a transport position. The poppet seal has a central support member that extends from the sealing surface of the poppet seal into the top portion of the fitment in the closed and transport condition.

A container assembly for use with a high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) instrument is disclosed, in which the container assembly, when coupled to a source of pressurized gas, provides fluid medium to the HPLC instrument at positive pressure. The container assembly has an external exterior container shell, an internal fluid container for holding fluid medium, an interstitial volume between the external exterior container shell and the internal fluid container, a port for fluidly connecting the volume to a pressurized gas source, and a port for fluidly connecting the internal fluid container to the HPLC instrument. As a pressurized gas in the interstitial volume increases, fluid medium flows out of the port connected to the internal fluid bag and container assembly at a positive pressure. A system incorporating the container assembly, and method of use of the same, are also disclosed.

A multi-connector port provides an air connection for sterile air, at least one access arranged on a connecting piece, and at least one line arranged on the connecting piece. The access comprises a self-closing diaphragm.

A removal system (1) with an extraction head (2) that may be placed onto an opening of a bottle (3)), wherein the extraction head (2) has a closing means for closing the opening of the bottle (3). In the extraction head (2), a tube (5) is mounted such that when the extraction head (2) is placed onto the opening, the tube (5) projects into the bottle (3) and fluid (4) may be removed from the bottle (3) via the tube (5). An actuation mechanism is provided, by means of which the mounting of the tube (5) in the extraction head (2) may be released.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for a first link to rotate about a pin joint, a second link rotatably coupled to the first link, the second link having a nozzle at a first end and a weight at a second end opposite the first end, and a fluid inlet including a funnel portion and an opening, the funnel portion having a conical taper converging towards the opening.

A vaporizer pod is disclosed. In various embodiments, the vaporizer pod comprises a reservoir defined by, and disposed within a housing, wherein the housing defines a central channel extending between a central channel inlet and a central channel outlet, a column disposed within the housing, an atomizer channel extending between an atomizer channel inlet and an atomizer channel outlet, and a heat conductor disposed within the column.

A dispensing fitment assembly includes a fitment assembly and a dispensing probe. The fitment assembly includes a fitment housing and a plug. The fitment housing is configured to operatively couple to a container opening of a fluid container. The plug is positioned within an interior portion of the fitment housing. The plug is slidingly movable between an open and closed position. Engagement between the dispensing probe and the interior surface of the plug is configured to move the plug from the closed position to the open position. Disengagement between the dispensing probe and the interior surface of the plug is configured to move the plug from the open to closed position.

The cleaning fluid supply system includes a first fluid storage device, a second fluid storage device, a pipeline assembly and at least one fluid drive device, and they are all mounted on the base. The pipeline assembly is provided with a main pipeline, a first branch and a second branch. The main pipeline is configured to supply the cleaning fluid to the cleaning robot. The first branch is communicated with the first fluid storage device, and the second branch is communicated with the second fluid storage device. The first branch and the second branch are both communicated with the main pipeline. The at least one fluid driving device is configured to drive the fluid in the first fluid storage device and the fluid in the second fluid storage device to flow to the first branch and the second branch, respectively.

An automatic filling mechanism for use in conjunction with a hand-held fluid droplet appliance (10) for dental cleaning, the automatic filling mechanism having a door (42) to a chamber (40) in the hand held fluid droplet appliance (10) for holding fluid, the door having a female liquid inlet port (44) and a female liquid and air exit interface (46) having a snorkel system (80) attached thereto that is inserted into the chamber (40) that is used to fill the chamber (40) with fluid (112) from a reservoir (110) on a docking and charging station (100) when the hand held fluid droplet appliance (10) is inserted into a cradle (160) on the docking and charging station (100).
