A caffeine reduction apparatus includes: a main housing provided with an inlet and outlet pipe; a mixing portion including an accommodating portion through which coffee grounds are input inside the accommodating portion, and a blade configured to be rotated inside the accommodating portion such that the coffee grounds are mixed; a driving portion configured to rotate the blade; and an ultraviolet ray emitting portion positioned at an upper portion of the main housing and mounted at an inner side surface of a door that seals an inner portion of the mixing portion, the ultraviolet ray emitting portion being configured to emit ultraviolet rays toward the mixing portion.

The invention relates to an apparatus for the optical in-situ gas analysis that comprises a housing; a measuring lance whose one, first end is connected to the housing and whose other, second end projects into the gas to be measured; a light transmitter arranged in the housing whose light is conducted into the measuring lance and is reflected onto a light receiver by a reflector arranged at the second end, wherein the optical path defines an optical measurement path within the measuring lance; a gas-permeable filter through which the gas to be measured moves into the measurement path; and an evaluation device for evaluating received light signals of the light receiver. To provide an improved apparatus with which the problem of the condensate formation can be counteracted better, provision is made that the measuring lance has an agitation apparatus for agitating the gas in the measuring lance.

A gas humidifier can have a gas channel comprising an inlet and an outlet. A portion of the gas channel can have a region having a reduction in cross-sectional area relative to the portions of the gas channel outside of the region. A water conduit can extend from the region to a water reservoir. A heating element can heat water entering the region from the water conduit. Water vaporized using the heating element can join the flow of gases passing through the gas channel in use.

The present invention provides an ultrafine bubble-containing liquid producing apparatus capable of reducing the possibility of intermitting supply of a UFB-containing liquid. An ultrafine bubble-containing liquid producing apparatus includes producing units that produce an ultrafine bubble-containing liquid containing ultrafine bubbles by using a liquid supplied from a liquid introducing unit and deliver the produced ultrafine bubble-containing liquid to a liquid delivering unit. The producing units include a plurality of ultrafine bubble generating units capable of operating independently. Each of the plurality of ultrafine bubble generating units is provided to be capable of independently switching between communicating with and being disconnected from the liquid introducing unit and the liquid delivering unit.

A mixing unit (100) for mixing of fluids is disclosed. The mixing unit (100) includes a mixing chamber (102) for holding one or more fluids and a driving assembly (104) operatively engaged to the mixing chamber (102). The driving assembly (104) is configured to oscillate the mixing chamber (102) for mixing the one or more fluids. The mixing chamber (102) of the mixing unit (100) enables better mixing of fluids in a convenient manner. Further less amount of cleaning fluids may be only required for cleaning the mixing chamber (102) after the mixing process. The mixing unit (100) can be used for mixing amino acids with different fluids however this unit can be used for mixing other fluids as well.

The disclosure relates to methods of making asphalt concrete mixtures including reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Variability in the fraction of binder that occurs in RAP that is able to melt and mix with virgin binder included in the concrete mixture previously made it difficult to select an appropriate amount of virgin binder. Methods described herein permit an asphalt concrete mix designer to determine the amount of virgin binder that can be combined with RAP and virgin aggregate in order to satisfy the minimum effective binder content of a job mix formula for such a concrete mix. The subject matter described herein thus permits more efficient use of RAP and permits use of RAP in higher amounts in asphalt concrete mixtures.

A manufacturing apparatus includes a mixing machine having a receiving housing with a first receiving location configured to receive a first deformable capsule and a second receiving location configured to receive a second deformable capsule, the first and second capsules intended to be fluidly linked to each other and containing respectively a first formulation and a second formulation.

The mixing machine has at least an electrically motorized actuation system configured to transmit a pressure force to the first and second capsules to move the content of the first capsule in the second capsule, and vice versa, and an electrical heater element configured to heat at least one of the first and second capsules when the first and second capsules are received in the mixing machine, in which, in a preparation phase prior to bringing the two formulations into contact, the actuation system and the heater element are electrically supplied alternately.

A receiving device to form a manufacturing apparatus when the receiving device is inserted into a mixing machine, includes a first receiving location configured to receive a first capsule containing a first formulation, a second receiving location configured to receive a second capsule containing a second formulation, a first bearing element located at the level of a first actuation face of the receiving device and movable inside the first receiving location, to exert a force on the first capsule, and/or a second bearing element located at the level of a second actuation face, preferably opposite to the first actuation face, and movable inside the second receiving location, in order to exert a force on the second capsule,
wherein at least one bearing element is a vane movable in rotation about a hinge, the movable vane being configured to enter one of the first and second receiving locations.

A mixing machine configured to receive a receiving device in order to form a mixing machine, the manufacturing apparatus comprising: a support defining a receiving housing, having a first receiving location configured to receive a first deformable capsule and a second receiving location configured to receive a second deformable capsule, the first and second capsules fluidly linked and respectively containing a first formulation and a second formulation, an actuation system movable relative to the support inside the receiving housing, comprising a first actuation member positioned on one side of the receiving housing and movable thereinside, in order to transmit a pressure force on the first capsule, along a first actuation stroke, a second actuation member positioned on another side, preferably an opposite side, of the receiving housing and movable thereinside, in order to transmit a pressure force on the second capsule, along a second actuation stroke, in which the first actuation stroke has a different length from the second actuation stroke.
