A mixing device includes a container and an agitator. The container includes cavity, a spout, and a lid. The agitator is retained within the cavity of the container. The agitator includes a core having opposing first and second ends, a plurality of alternating slots and slats in the first end of the core, and a plurality of alternating slots and slats in the second end of the core. The agitator also includes a ring extending circumferentially about the core, a first plurality of braces extending between the slats at the first end of the core and the ring, and a second plurality of braces extending between the slats at the second end of the core and the ring.

External sonication, which is a technique by which ultrasonic energy is applied externally to a cartridge containing the sample, is contemplated herein. External sonication can be performed by a sonicator external to a sample contained within a cartridge. The cartridge can include sonication particles to enhance sonication or cavitation within the sample. A sonication algorithm can also be used to increase sonication efficiency.

An anti-sagging spray can with stirring bead includes a can body, a stirring bead, a spray head, and a paint material. The can body has a top end and a containing space. The stirring bead is disposed in the containing space. The spray head is disposed on the top end. The spray head has an inner tube connected with the containing space. The paint material is contained in the containing space. The paint material includes a water-based polymer resin, a film-forming auxiliary, an auxiliary, a water-based color paste, and a deionized water. Thus, the present invention maintains an optimal spray effect of the sprayed paint material.

Embodiments are described for a vessel with an aperture positioned at the top end of the vessel. A gasket having an opening is provided and disposed at the top end of the vessel such that the gasket is between the first and second sidewalls of the vessel. A selectively operable lid permits the opening of the vessel. At least one agitator is provided within the vessel to mix a stored material therein with a fluid.

The present invention is an integrated at least two component system and method which combines at least two or more components and creates at least one new mixture. This system contains at least one first component in a first, optionally sealed, container and at least one second component in a second sealed container that is contained in or adjacent to the first container. Both components can be in a single container sealed off from each other. This system enables the mixing of these components to produce a new mixture, and then enables the application of this new mixture to be applied on at least one surface

A modular tailpipe riser kit includes a plurality of conduit modules that are selectively connectable to each other to support flow of exhaust gases through connected conduit modules. The plurality of conduit modules include a tailpipe coupling having a first end receivable and selectively securable to the outer surface of a tailpipe of an automobile, an elbow selectively connectable to the tailpipe coupling, and a riser extension selectively connectable to the elbow. The modular tailpipe riser kit further include a circumferential clamp that is receivable about the tailpipe coupling for selectively securing the tailpipe coupling about the outer surface of the tailpipe. A tailpipe riser that is fully assembled and ready for installation may also be provided.

The present disclosure relates to a method of creating a propellant mixture. The method includes forming an explosive composition mixture, placing the explosive composition mixture into a mixing vessel assembly, and operating an acoustic mixing system at an operating frequency such that the acoustic mixing system causes a vertical displacement of the mixing vessel. The explosive composition mixture has an explosive material, and one or more additives. The mixing vessel assembly has a closed mixing zone having a maximum vertical height. The acoustic mixing system is operated in a manner such that the operating frequency is substantially similar to the resonant frequency and a ratio of the maximum vertical height of the closed mixing zone to the vertical displacement of the mixing vessel assembly is 2.0 or less.
