A method and system for producing hawthorn fermented beverage where hawthorn fruits are used as the main material to produce a hawthorn fermented beverage with special fermented flavor, rich nutrition, mellow mouth feel and suitable sourness and sweetness, through the processes of fruit sorting, cleaning, juice squeezing, blending, pre-sterilization, alcoholic fermentation, acetic fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, filtration, sterilization and filling. An atomized fermentation technology is adopted for the yeast aerobic proliferation during the alcoholic fermentation phase and for the acetic fermentation phase, so that, as compared with the liquid submerged fermentation methods, the fermentation time of these two stages are shortened by 10-15 hours and 62-100 hours respectively, and the fermentation period is shortened by 3-5 days, which improves the production efficiency of fermentation.

A nozzle for spraying liquids, in particular a dual-substance nozzle, having a nozzle housing and a plurality of outlet openings in the nozzle housing, wherein each outlet opening is arranged at the end of an outlet passage through the wall of the nozzle housing, and wherein the plurality of outlet openings is arranged in a circle on the nozzle housing. An outlet angle which the respective central axis of the outlet passage associated with the outlet opening encloses with a central longitudinal axis of the nozzle housing differs between at least one first and at least one second outlet opening.

A fluid atomizer is provided, and the fluid atomizer is used to atomize the fluid into a spray of droplets, and transform the fluid into spray dispersion in the form of intertwined inner conical film and outer conical film layer by atomizing the fluid. The fluid atomizer includes a plurality of inlet channels, at least one swirl chamber, at least one contracting channel, at least one flow passage channel, at least one internal outlet channel, at least one external outlet channel, and at least one channel holder.

A nozzle assembly is provided that includes two sections, the first section may be contoured and the second section may be a converging and diverging section that is downstream from the second section in the direction of gas flow. The contoured section, with a range of bend angles, allows for non-line-of-sight cold spray deposition, thereby providing location-specific control of the cold spray deposition process.

This invention relates to bubble generation, in particular to microbubble generation in a microfluidic device, which bubbles may be useful as contrasting agents or drug delivery vehicles. The invention further relates to apparatuses, systems and methods for manufacturing said microbubbles, microbubbles produced by such methods and to their uses, e.g. in medical, diagnostic and other such applications. The microbubbles are preferentially formed using a microspray regime.

A handheld sink sprayer with single-handed metering and discharge mode adjustment. A body includes a handle portion, and a nozzle portion extending from the handle portion. A metering valve is carried in the body, a finger-engageable actuator is carried by the body and is coupled to the metering valve to move the metering valve, and a nozzle is carried by the body nozzle portion. A discharge mode valve is carried by the body nozzle portion. A thumb-engageable actuator is carried by the body nozzle portion and is coupled to the discharge mode valve to move the discharge mode valve between different discharge modes of operation.
