A handheld reusable multi-compartmental mixing and dispensing container for storing fluids separately therein before mixing. The proportions of the substances in a mixture are externally adjustable. The desired concentration is determined by test components attached to the container that sense various environmental and user-specific factors. The amount of the adjustable substance to be added to a mixture is controlled by an adjustment wheel on the container. A single control button allows a user to choose what fluid substances are to be mixed and dispensed. A pressurized gas propellant in a replaceable canister moves the fluid around and out of the container.

A raw material/container supply device for an individual-specific cosmetic manufacturing selling machine is capable of making it possible to check the remaining amounts of respective raw materials in real time even from a remote location and is capable of preventing the mixing of impurities during replenishment of raw materials. The raw material/container supply device includes a raw material supply device configured to supply cosmetic raw materials contained in disposable raw material pouches and a container supply device configured to supply a container having a container body and a cap fastened to the container body in a state in which the containeris horizontally loaded on a cartridge.

A system for scanning a client's hair color and dispensing hair coloring to change the clients hair color from an initial color to a target color is disclosed. The system comprises an input for reading the measured color from the scanning device, a processor configured to compare the measured color to a desired target hair color and develop a coloring protocol for changing the clients current hair color to the desired target color, and a dispenser for dispensing one or more formulations that follow the protocol.

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic manufacturing device and a discharge information determination method for the cosmetic manufacturing device, wherein the device and method provide a method for determining discharge information for providing customized cosmetics. The method can include determining a target color, determining a coverage level, determining a texture, and determining discharge information on the basis of the target color, the coverage level, and the texture, wherein the determining the discharge information may include determining cartridges of interest such that the cartridge discharging a cosmetic material varies according to the coverage level even if the target color is the same.

A solution management system (1) for bioprocessing, wherein each flow path formed between solution inlets (2) and solution outlets (9) of the system comprises one or more bend sections having an inner cross-sectional area and/or an inner cross-sectional geometry and/or a centre line radius varying along the length of the bend section. Various embodiments of the solution management system (1) provide for improved laminar fluid flow with a reduced pressure drop between the solution inlets (2) and solution outlets (9) therein.

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 system, in one aspect, includes a first bulk storage container for holding a first bulk dry flowable material having a first dispensing assembly coupled with a first outlet, and a second bulk storage container for holding a second bulk dry flowable material having a second dispensing assembly coupled with the second outlet. The system, in one aspect, may further include a mixed storage vessel, as well as a controller in communication with the first dispensing assembly and the second dispensing assembly, the controller programmed to cause the first dispensing assembly to discharge the first amount of the first dry flowable material to the mixed storage vessel and cause the second dispensing assembly to discharge the second amount of the second dry flowable material to the mixed storage vessel over a comparable time period based upon weight based readings the controller receives from first and second load cells.
