A system and method is disclosed for permitting a chemical fluid line to serve multiple downstream injection sites from a single upstream pump. One or more redundant primary chemical conduits are manifolded via a flexible joint into a plurality of sub-stream chemical conduits, each of the sub-stream chemical conduits comprising a sub-stream flow meter and an independently controlled motorized flow control valve. A control computer directs each respective flow control valve to open and close depending on the desired flow rate of the respective downstream injection site.

A passive gas exchange transfer apparatus for exchanging carbon dioxide from a flue gas to a water supply is disclosed. The apparatus includes several upper rods and several lower rods to hold a membrane in place. The membrane provides increased surface area for the gas and the water to meet. The upper rods may be the source of the water supply, and the lower rods may be the source of the gas. The upper rods may disperse the water onto one side of the membrane, and the lower rods may disperse the gas onto the other side. The two may therefore meet at the surface created by the membrane as gravity draws the water downward, and convection draws the gas upward.

An antibody-resin coupling apparatus quickly and efficiently activates resin beads and couples them to antibodies, while preventing breakdown and crosslinking of the beads, thereby improving downstream column purification processes, extending the usable life of the resin beads, and increasing molecule capture efficiency of the resultant resin-antibody complexes, to allow improved isolation and purification of factor VIII molecules or other drug compounds.

A slurry mixer for a battery electrode capable of maximally simplifying a configuration of a high-speed stirring body to minimize a rotational load, such that a stirring time of the slurry may be greatly reduced and productivity may be increased, preventing a powdery material from being accumulated on an upper side face and an upper surface of a low-speed stirring body, preventing a deterioration in a performance, failure and a reduction in a life span of a high-speed stirring shaft and bearing, and uniformly stirring mixed materials located at inner corners and a bottom of a container, thereby further increasing stirring efficiency.

Provided are a compact mixing system capable of reducing a use amount of a mixing agent and reducing a volume of a utility that supplies the mixing agent, and a measurement system using the mixing system. The mixing system includes: a mixing agent discharge nozzle through which a mixing agent to be mixed with a sample is to be discharged; and a movable mechanism configured to adjust a gap between the mixing agent discharge nozzle and a sample collection port that opens to an inside of a sample tube through which the sample is to flow so as to collect the sample.

A method to dispense fluid products is implemented in a dispensing machine by combining gravimetric and volumetric dispensing techniques which comprises at least one containing unit to contain at least one fluid and equipped with a dispensing mean, a dispensing station comprising a dispensing head fluidically connected to the containing unit and equipped with at least one dispensing nozzle, a user interface to enter input data for the preparation of a fluid product, and a control unit connected to the user interface and to the dispensing mean of the containing unit so as to command the dispensing of the fluid.

An antibody-resin coupling apparatus quickly and efficiently activates resin beads and couples them to antibodies, while preventing breakdown and crosslinking of the beads, thereby improving downstream column purification processes, extending the usable life of the resin beads, and increasing molecule capture efficiency of the resultant resin-antibody complexes, to allow improved isolation and purification of factor VIII molecules or other drug compounds.

Concentrated liquid flavorings and methods of preparing flavored beverages using the concentrated liquid flavorings are described herein. The concentrated liquid flavorings are shelf stable for prolonged storage times at ambient temperatures. Shelf stability is provided, at least in part, by acidic pH and/or reduced water activity. By one approach, the concentrated liquid flavorings are intended to provide flavor to a beverage, such as coffee, tea, milk, or other savory beverage. The concentrated liquid flavorings may be provided in a convenient portable and dosable format that can be easily used by a consumer to provide the desired flavor and amount of flavor to a beverage.

A method for mixing a fluid includes: dispensing a first volume of a fluid into a flexible container, the flexible container being at least partially disposed within the chamber of a support housing; repeatedly moving the support housing and the flexible container contained therein so as to mix the first volume of fluid within the flexible container; adding further fluid into the flexible container after moving the support housing to form a second volume of fluid; and manipulating a mixing element within the flexible container so as to mix the second volume of fluid.

A fuel air delivery circuit, system, and method for the intake of an internal combustion engine, that provides an enhanced pressure condition to a supplementary or auxiliary air fuel circuit or circuits in connection with a conventional fuel delivery passage or passages, such as, but not limited to, a main, needle, or other jet, injector port, manifold, plenum, or the like, to provide enhanced vaporization and mixture of the fuel and air, and delivery to an associated intake path, such as the bore of a carburetor, intake runner, or the like, to provide improved throttle response and acceleration, and additionally which supplementary circuit will automatically recharge with fuel when a triggering condition is present, such as under steady state and deceleration conditions.
