A pharmaceutical compounding system includes a plurality of vials and a receptacle. The system is arranged to remove substances stored within the vials and combine them within the receptacle to form a medication, and each vial is continuously maintained gripped within the system during preparation of the medication.

A Cannabis trichome separator. At least one storage vessels are provided, each vessel having an open top and adapted to receive a plant material and chilled or ice water mixture. A mechanism for agitating the mixture is also provided. Another mechanism raises, lowers, and pivots the agitating mechanism, so the agitating mechanism can be placed over the open top of each of the at least one storage vessels. The mixture can be agitated in each of the storage vessels, seriatim. Also disclosed is a method for processing raw plant material. A plant material and chilled or ice water is introduced into each of at least one storage vessels. The agitating mechanism agitates the mixture in a first of the storage vessels, pivoting the agitating mechanism from a first position to a second position, and agitating the mixture in subsequent storage vessels, seriatim.

An electrically driven oilfield blender system is configured to utilize electric motors as electric prime movers to prepare frac slurry and move the frac slurry to an oilfield pressure pumping system or pressure pumper that pumps the frac slurry into a subterranean formation. Each of the prime mover electric motors may operate at a fixed or constant rated speed and may be connected to a transmission that can drive a device such as a feed pump for a mixing tub or an auxiliary device at a variable speed. An electro-hydraulic motor start system includes an electric motor that powers a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump drives hydraulic motors that pre-rotate the prime mover electric motors to their rated speeds before they are energized.

A method for manufacturing slurry for an insulation protective layer of a rechargeable battery includes obtaining an insulation material calibration curve showing a relationship between particle size and compressibility of an insulation material using sets of particle size and compressibility of the insulation material, obtaining a binder calibration curve showing a relationship between particle size and compressibility of a binder using sets of particle size and compressibility of the binder, measuring particle sizes of the insulation material and the binder loaded, determining an optimal mixture weight ratio with reference to the curves so that compressibility of mixture powder of the insulation material and the binder equals a set compressibility based on the measured particle sizes, mixing the insulation material and the binder at the determined mixture weight ratio to form mixture powder, loading the mixture powder into a powder dispenser, and adding a solvent to the mixture powder.

An apparatus for extracting cannabis essential oils. A housing is provided for containing trichome material from a cannabis plant, the housing having a sealable opening. A rotatable impeller is disposed in the housing. A container is connected to the housing for collecting essential oils. The process for extracting cannabis essential oils includes the steps of introducing trichome material from the cannabis plant into the housing, introducing water and ice into the housing via an opening therein, and agitating the water and ice and the trichome material to separate and extract essential oils therefrom.

A method for extracting cannabis essential oils. A housing is provided for containing trichome bearing material from a cannabis plant, the housing having a sealable opening. A rotatable impeller is disposed in the housing. A container is connected to the housing for collecting essential oils. The process for extracting cannabis essential oils includes the steps of introducing trichome bearing material from the cannabis plant into the housing, introducing water into the housing via an opening therein, and agitating the water and the trichome bearing material to separate and extract essential oils therefrom.

A sample tube includes a cylindrical wall and a first end and a second end. The first end of the sample tube is closed by a base, such that a sample-receiving space with a longitudinal axis is formed between base and cylindrical wall. The second end has a closure piece connected releasably thereto. A weight element is received inside the receiving space and is shaped and dimensioned in such a way that the weight element can rotate freely in the receiving space only about the longitudinal axis of the latter. The application further relates to a method and a device with which a sample located in the sample tube can be dispersed or homogenized by rotational movement of the sample tube.

Fluid synthesis system and corresponding method for synthesis of slurry containing abrasive particles. The system and method are configured to substantially segregate the abrasive particles passing through the filter, used at the filtering step of the process, from the sticky components that clog such filter prior to the filtering step of the synthesis process to achieve a sustaining filtration of the slurry as a result of which the filter remains substantially unclogged for the whole predetermined duration of the filtering process.

A method may include supplying water for a mud mixture to a mixing tank according to a predetermined volume. The method may further include supplying, using a rheological sensor, a viscosifier to the mud mixture in the mixing tank until the mud mixture achieves one or more predetermined rheological values. The method may further include supplying, using a density sensor, a weighting agent to the mud mixture in the mixing tank until the mud mixture achieves a predetermined specific gravity value. The method may further include supplying, using a pH sensor, a buffering agent to the mud mixture in the mixing tank until the mud mixture achieves a predetermined pH value to produce a drilling fluid.
