A portable chemical reagent mixing device is disclosed. The portable device has stabilizing guide rails to keep the chemical reagent pack in place. The device includes a mold holding a motor which has a gear at the top that presses against a gear contained at the side of a chemical reagent pack. A power source connects to the motor by electrical wires that can be secured and concealed in the base or platform of the invention. The invention has a back guard plate that houses an adjustable spring coil in place which helps secure the reagent pack in place so that the gear of the reagent pack is pressed against the gear attached to the top of the motor to agitate the contents of a chemical reagent pack to facilitate mixing.

Apparatus and method for forming beverages using a beverage cartridge and sonic energy. A cartridge may include a sonic receiver, such as a feature that extends into an interior space of the cartridge and is arranged to receive a sonic emitter that introduces sonic energy into the interior space. The sonic receiver may be excited by sonic energy, which causes the sonic receiver to itself introduce sonic energy into the cartridge.

A method for preparing for preparing a solution comprising a plurality of particles in a vial is disclosed. The method includes agitating the vial at a first predetermined mixing speed. The method also includes dispersing, into the vial, during the agitating, a first volume of buffer solution at a first predetermined dispensing rate to suspend the plurality of particles in the solution, wherein particles of the plurality of particles comprise a unique identifying feature.

A method for mixing, milling, and coating a plurality of constituents comprises placing the constituents in a container that includes a cylindrical inner surface; applying a first vibration to the container such that a motion of the vibration is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the container; and applying a second vibration to the container such that the motion of the vibration is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container.

An apparatus, method, and sample vessel for recombining a sample fluid. The sample fluid is received in a sample vessel. Sample parameters are recreated in the sample vessel. The sample fluid is agitated within the sample vessel. Optical measurements of the sample fluid are performed within the sample vessel utilizing one or more optical sensors. A determination is made whether recombination is complete in response to the optical measurements of the sample fluid performed by the one or more optical sensors.

A system is provided having a seal cap assembly that allows for the dissolution of sparingly soluble gases into a base liquid contained with a valveless container having only a single opening closed by a twist cap. The seal cap assembly is placed over the opening to create a sealed chamber around the opening. Sparingly soluble gas is then added to chilled based liquid between the twist cap and the partially closed opening. After agitating the base liquid and gas, the twist cap is fully closed about the opening of the container to seal the opening. The final beverage product includes the valveless container fully sealed by the twist cap and containing a beverage aerated with at least one sparingly soluble gas.

The invention relates to a mixer, in particular for mixing viscous fluids, such as paints and plasters, in a container, the mixer comprising a frame, a clamping mechanism for holding a container, which mechanism is translatably and/or rotatably mounted in the frame, a motor for translatably and/or rotatably driving the clamping mechanism a sensor for measuring vibrations of the clamping mechanism, and a controller connected to the sensor and the motor and arranged to control the motor to adjust translations and/or rotations of the clamping mechanism in dependence of the measured vibrations.

The present application is directed towards systems and methods for adding components to materials being fluidized in a vibratory mixer by use of atomizers or sprayers. A mechanical system can fluidizes, mix, coat, dry, combine, or segregate materials. The system may comprise a vibratory mixer, mixing vessel containing a first material and a sprayer to introduce a second material. The vibratory mixer may generate a fluidized bed of a first material and the sprayer, coupled to the mixing vessel, may introduce a second material onto the fluidized bed to mix the materials in a uniform and even fashion.

An inner core assembly for a vibration mixer, includes a motor assembly and a compression assembly located above the motor assembly, wherein the motor assembly comprises a vibration motor, a rotor shaft of the vibration motor is connected to the compression assembly by using an eccentric structure, the compression assembly comprises a stage, the stage is connected to a pressure plate mounting bracket by using a guiding shaft, the pressure plate mounting bracket is capable of sliding along the guiding shaft, the rotor shaft of the vibration motor rotates and drives, by using the eccentric structure, the compression assembly to perform reciprocating motion.
