The invention is furthermore a mixing system for mixing fluids comprising a data entry unit (200), a control unit, and the mixing apparatus. The invention is furthermore a fountain pen (100) comprising a container (25) adapted for storing ink which is filled up applying the mixing apparatus.

A fluid mixer configured to stably supply a mixed fluid having a desired mixing ratio, and which can be reduced in size. This fluid mixer includes a Venturi tube having a constriction section at which the flow path area is reduced, the Venturi tube having formed therein a first inflow opening and a second inflow opening through which a second fluid flows into a low-pressure region produced due to an increase in fluid velocity when a first fluid passes through the constriction section. A valve body that is disposed within the Venturi tube, the valve body closing due to the pressure of the first fluid passing through the Venturi tube and changing the flow path area of the Venturi tube, blocking off the first inflow opening when closed, and opening the first inflow opening when opened; and a biasing part (elastic body) applying a biasing force in the valve closing direction of the valve body.

Methods for in situ mixing of two or more different liquid compositions by employing a dynamic flow profile characterized by a ramping-up section and/or a ramping-down section.

Methods, apparatus, devices and systems for mixing and dispensing multi-component materials. The mixing and dispensing may be performed using a mobile, enclosed dispenser that can be used to supply a mixed multi-component material at the point of use. In some embodiments, the components to be mixed into the multi-component material may be supplied in cartridges.

A control system configured to control operation of reverse osmosis (RO) array(s), nanofiltration (NF) array(s) and/or a blending system including a control panel (CP), regulatory controllers (RCs), and a supervisory controller (SC), wherein the SC is in signal communication with the CP, and with the RCs, wherein the SC is configured to: receive user inputs from the CP, and receive inputs from RCs regarding data from sensors, wherein the RCs are in signal communication with the plurality of sensors, wherein the RCs are configured to: receive data from the sensors, provide outputs to and receive permissions from the SC, and instruct devices in response to the received permissions from the SC, and wherein the SC is configured to: monitor trends in the inputs regarding and/or predict outcomes from data received from the RCs and determine the permissions for RCs based on the monitored trends and/or user inputs from the CP.

A measuring a closed-loop fluid transfer system is provided that includes a measuring adapter having a first end and a second ends, and a chamber located there between and configured to hold a volume of fluid. The measuring adapter includes a first receiving valve assembly located at the first end of the measuring adapter. The first receiving valve assembly includes a receiving valve member, at least a portion of which is separable from a portion of the first receiving valve assembly. This creates an opening that provides fluid communication to the chamber when a force is exerted on the receiving valve member of the first receiving valve assembly. A second valve assembly located at the second end of the measuring adapter includes a valve member. At least a portion of the valve member of the second valve assembly is separable from a portion of the second valve assembly to create an opening that provides fluid communication to the chamber.

A hydrothermal treatment device (3) is a hydrothermal treatment device (3) performing hydrothermal treatment by heating high-water-content biomass, the hydrothermal treatment device (3) including a treatment container (21) that stores sludge, a sludge supply unit (22) that supplies the sludge to inside of the treatment container (21) such that a space (S) is formed in a vertical upper part of the treatment container (21), a stirrer (23) that is provided within the treatment container (21) and stirs stored matter such that counter flows in an up/down direction occur, and a heat transfer tube (24) that is disposed in a horizontal direction within the treatment container (21) and heats the sludge with heat of vapor flowing within the heat transfer tube (24).
