A mixing device for cylindrical jars, the device having two drive rollers and two guide rollers extending upward from a housing and through a top surface of the housing. The rear end of the top surface has a stop member. The drive rollers on one side of the jar and the guide rollers on an opposite side of the jar are mounted on axles positioned in the interior of the housing, wherein the axles slant downward 2 to 45 degrees from the front end to the rear end of the housing. The drive rollers will spin the jar at least 5 RPM with the jar tilted downward. A motor and transmission in the housing are connected operatively to the drive rollers. Ajar of natural peanut butter with separated peanut oil and solids may be placed on the rollers, with the lid of the jar engaging the stop member and rotated for 5 to 20 minutes. The natural peanut butter will then remain uniformly mixed for a week.

A caulk tube adapter for allowing mixing of coloring compositions into caulk is provided. The caulk tube includes baffles on the inside surface of the tube for facilitating mixing of the caulk and coloring composition. An adapter for allowing the caulk tubes to be positioned into a paint mixer is also provided.

Methods and apparatus to mitigate bubble formation in a liquid are disclosed. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a bottom wall, a first baffle cantilevered from the bottom wall, and a second baffle cantilevered from the bottom wall. The first baffle is spaced apart from the second baffle, and the first baffle and the second baffle are positioned radially relative to an axis of rotation of the apparatus.

A computer-implemented method for execution by a processor of a computing device. The method comprises implementing a computerized graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a user of the computing device with an opportunity to identify a pharmaceutical compounding formula; consulting a database at least partly on a basis of the identified pharmaceutical compounding formula in order to determine mixing parameters for a planetary mixer, associated with the identified pharmaceutical compounding formula; and causing a mixer to subject a container to superimposed rotation and revolution movements in accordance with the mixing parameters determined from consulting the database.

A rotary bucket mixing device is disclosed. The rotary bucket mixing device includes a main body, a rotating disk assembly, a power gear assembly and a first idler assembly. The power gear assembly receives a power to drive the rotating disk assembly to rotate and thereby rotating a mixing bucket disposed on a supporting assembly of the rotating disk assembly and mixing the contents in the mixing bucket. The first idler assembly controls a rotational speed. The rotary bucket mixing device of the present disclosure provides a better support to the mixing bucket and therefore the safety during the mixing process is enhanced.

A compact device compact analytical device to perform main steps of analytical procedures comprises a driving part configured to be attached to a stirrer part or a centrifuge part, wherein the stirrer part is configured to mix at least one sample and the centrifuge part is configured to separate a component. Furthermore, an analyzer part is configured to produce analytical data.

The present invention relates to a test tube vibration transfer engagement element adapted to be linearly movable forward, X-direction, and in reverse, X-direction, adapted to transfer vibrations in X-direction and X-direction to test tubes. Moreover, it is disclosed a test tube linear shake actuator, a test tube linear shake actuator and carousel arrangement and a method for vibration transfer from a vibration transfer engagement element to a test tube included in a carousel arrangement.

A wine decanter pedestal system includes a base supported above a surface, the base having a base center axis and a ledge extending outward from its top surface to support a bottom surface of a decanter placed on the top surface. A wireless receiver receives wireless commands from a wireless device to control a rotary motor operably coupled to the base at an attachment point off-center from the base center axis such that rotation of the rotary motor causes the base center axis to orbit about the rotary drive in a circular orbital motion and in a circular spin motion. A weight sensor measures a weight of a decanter placed upon the base, and a controller automatically adjusts the torque of the rotary drive in response to the weight measured by the weight sensor to increase torque for heavier weights measured and decrease torque for lighter weights measured.

[Problem] To provide a agitation/defoaming method and device with which both of uniformity in dispersion of object to be processed and reduction of air bubbles can be achieved with high precision. [Solution] Provided is a agitation/defoaming method for producing orbital and spin motions of a container containing object to be processed by a device provided with orbital and spin drive motors that can independently control the velocities of the orbital and spin motions. Both defoaming and agitating treatments with high precision can be achieved by respectively performing a reverse rotation superimposition processing, wherein the rotational frequency of the spin drive motor is obtained by superimposing the first rotational frequency in a direction opposite to the direction of the orbital motion on the frequency of the orbital motion, and a same rotation superimposition processing, wherein the rotational frequency of the spin drive motor is obtained by superimposing the second rotational frequency in the same direction as the direction of the orbital motion on the frequency of the orbital motion, at least once.
