A fluid injection system is a system that enables the automatic mixing and dispensing of select additives to desired output locations. The system may include at least one supply line, at least one pumping mechanism, at least one injection assembly, and a base controller. The at least one supply line carries the supply flow from a supply source for the mixing and the distribution of the selected additives to the desired output locations. The at least one pumping mechanism facilitates the injection of the additives to the supply flow being carried by the at least one supply line. The at least one injection assembly enables the introduction of the combined additives into the supply flow via the at least one pumping mechanism. Finally, the base controller monitors the injection of the right amounts of additives as well as the correct combination of the additives being injected into the supply flow.

Described herein is a method for producing a coating medium composition usable in the automobile industry, or a precursor thereof, the method including (1), providing a container, which has a label that contains the formula of the target formulation in electronically readable form (2), electronically reading the label (3), providing storage containers containing those components which are required in order to produce the target formulation (4), weighing these components into the containers provided (5), creating an electronic log relating to the weighing-in carried out (6) and creating an electronic documentation of the entire production process (7), wherein the conduct of steps (3), (5) and (6) is carried out by means of assistance by software.

A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including an output shaft driven in a planetary manner. At least a first food processing tool and a second food processing tool can be changed in and out of the machine to be driven by the output shaft. A controller and associated tool detection system is configured to identify whether the first food processing tool or the second food processing tool is mounted on the machine and to select a stored load profile that is linked to the identified food processing tool.

A gas-dissolved liquid producing apparatus capable of increasing a gas dissolution efficiency and enhancing stability of the concentration of gas-dissolved liquid is provided. The gas-dissolved producing apparatus 1 includes an ozone gas supply unit 2 for supplying ozone gas, a pure water supply unit 3 for supplying pure water, and an ozonated water generator 4 for dissolving ozone gas in supplied pure water to generate ozonated water. The generator 4 includes a first nozzle 10 having a first optimum flow rate, a second nozzle 11 having a second optimum flow rate different from the first optimum flow rate, a flow rate detector 15 for detecting the flow rate of the supplied pure water, and a controller 16 for controlling which one of the first nozzle and the second nozzle should be supplied with the supplied gas, based on the flow rate of the pure water detected by the detector 15.

A hand-crank operated food processor includes a container with a removeable lid. The lid incorporates a number of gears that are operable by the hand crank to cause a drive shaft to spin, imparting a rotational force to a food processing implement such as a blade or a paddle carried on the drive shaft. The crank can be inserted into any one of a plurality of attachment points such that rotation of the crank handle in a selected attachment point will rotate the gears, and therefore the drive shaft, at a different rotational speed as compared to the rotational speed achieved at a different one of the plurality of attachment points at the same input speed from the crank.

A manual food processor includes a container with a removeable lid. The container includes a plurality of container undulations spaced along an upper portion of the container to form a seat. The lid is removably attachable to the container to enclose the interior space, and includes a food processing tool carried on a drive shaft. The lid further has a plurality of lid undulations which are complementary to and engageable with the plurality of container undulations, preventing the lid from rotating with respect to the container, and allowing removal of the lid without rotation of the lid.

Provided are a system for manufacturing dispersion liquid of carbon nanotubes and a method of manufacturing a dispersion liquid of carbon nanotubes using the same. The system includes; a mixing device supplied with solvent and carbon nanotubes, and storing a admixture of the solvent and the carbon nanotubes; a first dispersion device connected to the mixing device, performing a primary dispersion of the carbon nanotubes by an operation of a rotor and a stator, and then performing a secondary dispersion to form bent portions in the carbon nanotubes while discharging the carbon nanotubes through penetration holes of the stator; and a second dispersion device performing a tertiary dispersion of the carbon nanotubes to selectively cut the bent portions of the carbon nanotubes by irradiating a laser when the secondarily dispersed admixture recirculates to the mixing device.
