Expert system and method for computing an adjustment procedure for obtaining an adjusted exterior waterborne paint composition for an exterior surface to be painted at a paint application site on a specific date. A starting exterior waterborne paint composition comprises base chemical compounds. When one or more computed target values of target chemical compounds for the adjusted exterior waterborne paint composition are determined different from the plurality of base values, the adjustment procedure is computed for transforming the starting exterior waterborne paint composition into the adjusted exterior paint composition and instructions comprising the adjustment procedure are sent to a remote device.

A modular flow monitoring package (MFMP) is provided for use in an additive delivery system. The MFMP may be manufactured as an add-on to be added to an existing additive delivery system, or may be incorporated into a cartridge or container structure. The MFMP includes a flow sensor for sensing flow of a base fluid and user actuator position sensors for sensing the position of one or more user actuated additive flow adjustment levers. A visual display, which may comprise an array of multi-color LED's may convey information to a user that is relevant to a user's use of the additive delivery system or the user's nutritional needs. Such information may include a current dosage of additive, being delivered, whether a recommended dosage of additive has been consumed, remaining life of a cartridge or supply of additive, and other data relative to health or performance monitoring.

The present invention relates to a biological material extraction apparatus. According to the present invention, a tube in which a solution for use in extracting a biological material is contained is rotated to directly mix the solution, and cells where stirring is being conducted in each step are sealed to fundamentally block stirring-induced pollution between cells, thereby improving an extraction efficiency.

A cosmetic dispenser according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a first bi-directional communication unit that receives at least one of user information and environmental information from a mobile terminal, a control unit that acquires a cosmetic dispensing method based on at least one of the user information and the environmental information which are received, and a cosmetic dispensing unit that comprises at least one cartridge that contains cosmetics, a nozzle unit that moves the cosmetics contained in the cartridge according to the acquired cosmetic dispensing method, and a dispensing unit that discharges the cosmetics passed through the nozzle unit to the outside.

A dispensing machine for dispensing fluid products comprising a dispensing zone (15) in which elongated support means (12) are disposed, configured to support a plurality of removable containing units (11) of the fluid products in a stationary manner along a longitudinal axis (X) is disclosed. The dispensing zone (15) further includes translation means (20) configured to allow moving a receptacle (18) positioned on a metering unit and disposed on the translation means (20) substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction (X) to delivery positions substantially vertically below said containing units (11) and measurement means (16) configured to meter a quantity of fluid product that is delivered from a containing unit (11) to the receptacle (18) in a delivery position corresponding to the respective containing unit. Also disclosed is the use of such dispensing machine for preparing customized formulations of fluid products as well as a method for preparing user-defined target formulation from a plurality of dispensable fluid products.

Embodiments of the present disclosure involve methods, devices, and systems for hydrating polymers using multiple mixing chambers. Adjacent mixing chambers may be coupled using an under-over baffle, and each mixing chamber may be generally rectangular with rounded corners.

Disclosed is a vertical moving and swing type blender, which is capable of being moved vertically and swinging in right and left directions, thereby easily crushing food. The blender includes: a base member; a turning member configured such that a lower portion thereof is pivotally hinged to an upper portion of the base member; a main body disposed to be vertically movable in the turning member; a container member detachably coupled to an upper portion of the main body and configured to receive food, with a blade provided therein; a vertical elastic member elastically supporting the main body to allow the main body to be vertically movable in the turning member; and a horizontal elastic member configured such that a first end thereof is coupled to the base member and a second end thereof is coupled to the turning member so as to support the turning member horizontally and elastically.

The present disclosure relates to a milk-of-lime preparation apparatus and preparation method having waste heat recovery line, that may recover waste heat generated during preparation of liquid milk-of-lime and deliver the recovered waste heat to water, so as to supply the water at an optimal temperature necessary for a hydration reaction, thereby increasing the reaction efficiency and reducing the preparation time of the milk-of-lime. Especially, the milk-of-lime preparation apparatus consists of a water tank that receives room temperature water from a water supply pipe and stores the received water inside the water tank; a raw material input pipe that transfers calcine lime powder from one end to the other end through pressure supply from a BCT vehicle that carries the calcine lime powder; a water input pipe of which one end is connected with the water tank, and that receives the water stored inside the water tank and transfers the received water to the other end; a milk-of-lime tank that receives the water from the other end of the water input pipe, that receives the calcine lime powder from the other end of the raw material input pipe, and that stirs the received calcine lime powder and the water by means of a stirrer installed inside the milk-of-lime tank, to prepare and store milk-of-lime; a discharge pipe that is installed at one side of the milk-of-lime tank to discharge the milk-of-lime stored inside the milk-of-lime tank; and a waste heat recovery line that circulates the water such that the water stored inside the water tank exchanges heat with the milk-of-lime stored inside the milk-of-lime tank and then is stored back inside the water tank.
