A tintometric machine includes an external frame made from rigid material, which defines an internal area. The internal area houses at least one dispenser system, which can dispense at least one fluid, such as paint or dye, into a vessel or container. The dispenser system of the tintometric machine, includes one or more dispenser mechanisms and a plurality of canisters or containers. Each of the dispenser mechanisms includes at least one pump and at least one valve assembly, and the canisters or containers are connected to one or more dispenser mechanisms. The external frame of the machine has a shell-shaped structure that can be opened to divide the machine into at least two portions. Each portion contains a part of the dispenser system. By dividing the machine into portions, an inspection area is defined between the portions, which is accessible to an operator.

Assembly of a tintometric machine and a trolley includes an external frame and a dispenser system. The dispenser system dispenses a fluid into a vessel or container, when the vessel or container is positioned in a dispensing station. The trolley includes: a supporting top, whereon the container can be positioned; rotary elements allowing the trolley to move; a gripping element, through which the user can grip the trolley and move it. The dispensing station has a housing into which the trolley can be positioned. The assembly includes a plug-socket system, wherein a first part of the system is located on the trolley and a second part is located in the dispensing station. The parts of the system can be assembled together when the trolley is placed into the housing of the dispensing station, for the purpose of conducting an electric current. The trolley includes an actuating device that can move the supporting top.

Provided is an emulsion matrix ground station with intrinsic safety, which relates to the technical field of emulsion matrix preparation process and apparatus of mobile ground auxiliary equipment in civil explosive industry. The emulsion matrix ground station may include a water phase tank, an oil phase tank, a water phase pump, an oil phase pump and a static emulsification device. The water phase pump may have an inlet connected to an outlet of the water phase tank by a pipeline, and an outlet connected to a water phase inlet of the static emulsification device by a pipeline. The oil phase pump may have an inlet connected to an outlet of the oil phase tank by a pipeline, and an outlet connected to an oil phase inlet of the static emulsification device by a pipeline.

A sealing vent for a foaming dispenser associated with a squeeze foaming container is described. The vent has an annular structure, with a central aperture encased by a multi-tiered disc section connected to inner facing of a thickened, axial wall. An upward angled, outer flange is connected on an outer facing of the axial wall, and the outer flange is attached at a lower elevation along the axial wall in comparison to the disc section.

A mixing device and methods for making bone cement. A piston (156) of the mixing device is located in a first region (158) of a chamber (112) such that a mixing paddle (154) rotates to mix bone cement components at a first pressure to make a bone cement mixture. The piston (156) is moved passed an inlet opening (136) to be located within a second region (160) of the chamber (112) to compress the bone cement mixture to a second pressure greater than the first pressure to compress the bone cement mixture and make the bone cement. The bone cement may be transferred to a delivery device. The mixing device may include features that automatically initiate the compression and transferring phases after completion of the mixing phase, and further include features that automatically terminate the operational cycle. A three-step intuitive workflow utilizing the mixing device to improve efficiency in the surgical suite is also disclosed.

An immersion mixer includes: a housing; a drive motor residing within the housing; a shaft attached to the motor and configured to rotate relative to the housing; blades attached to and rotatable with the shaft; a handle attached to the housing, the handle including a first segment and a second segment attached to the first segment and to the housing; and a trigger attached to the handle and operatively associated with the motor. The trigger includes a first segment that is generally parallel with the first segment of the handle and a second segment that is generally parallel with the second segment of the handle. Engagement by a user of either the first segment of the trigger or the second segment of the trigger causes the drive motor to rotate the shaft and blades.

In one aspect, new dispenser components for use with portable fluid dispensing apparatus are provided. The present systems can by used to administer to a user water and other fluids optionally together with one or more other ingestibles such as flavoring, or a health supplement. In another aspect, new rotor or disk units that may comprise one or more pods or packets that contain ingestible material(s). In a further aspect, one or more of such pods or packets that may comprise one or more ingestible materials.

A method for controlling fluid ratio accuracy during a dual flow injection with a powered injection system is described. The method includes predicting a first capacitance volume of a first syringe comprising a first medical fluid and a second capacitance volume of a second syringe comprising a second medical fluid with a first capacitance correction factor and a second capacitance correction factor, respectively, selecting a ratio of the first medical fluid and the second medical fluid to be administered to a patient in the dual flow injection, determining a relative acceleration ratio of a first piston of the first syringe and a second piston of a second syringe based on the predicted first capacitance volume and the predicted second capacitance volume, wherein the relative acceleration ratio is selected to maintain the selected ratio of the first medical fluid and the second medical fluid during the dual flow injection, and injecting a mixture of a first medical fluid and a second medical fluid having the selected ratio with the powered injection system.

A bioreactor system includes a support housing having an interior surface bounding a compartment. A rack is secured to the support housing in alignment with the opening. An elongated first shaft has a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of the first shaft being secured to the rack. A structure is secured to the first shaft at or towards the second end of the first shaft, the structure outwardly projecting away from the first shaft. A collapsible bag bounds a chamber and is at least partially disposed within the compartment of the support housing. A member projects from the collapsible bag and passes through the opening on the support housing, the structure supporting or restraining movement of the member.
