An ozone water production device (1) includes: flow rate controllers (4, 5) that each control a flow rate of gas which is a raw material; a flow rate meter (12) that measures a flow rate of water which is a raw material; a booster pump (13) that controls pressure of the water; an ozone water generating unit (8) that generates ozone water by mixing ozone gas and the water; and a pressure sensor (17) that measures pressure of the ozone water which is to be supplied to a use point (19). The booster pump (13) controls the pressure of the water such that the pressure of the ozone water measured by the pressure sensor (17) is constant. The flow rate controllers (4, 5) each control the flow rate of the gas in accordance with the flow rate of the water measured by the flow rate meter (12).

A system for preparing a medicament for use by a medicament user includes a proportioning machine with a controller and pumping and clamping actuators to engage a fluid circuit having pumping and clamping portions that engage with respective actuators of the proportioning machine. The fluid circuit includes a mixing container that is initially empty and later filled with two different concentrated medicaments from different concentrate containers and with purified water. The proportioning machine is configured to receive purified water and to mix it with the concentrated medicaments to produce a medicament and to output the medicament to a medicament consumer in such a way that to the medicament consumer the medicament appears to be provided from a bag of medicament. Custom mini batches of medicament may be produced by varying the amount of the concentrates and water.

A method for operating an internal combustion engine includes passing air to a separation unit, separating the air into a nitrogen-enriched air stream and an oxygen-enriched air stream with the separation unit, passing the nitrogen-enriched air stream to a mixing chamber in communication with the separation unit, detecting a nitrogen content within the nitrogen-enriched air stream, based at least in part on the detected nitrogen content within the nitrogen-enriched air stream, moving an air valve between a closed position, in which the air valve restricts flow of an air stream to the mixing chamber, and an open position, in which the air stream flows to the mixing chamber through the air valve, passing the nitrogen-enriched air stream to a combustion chamber, passing a fuel to the combustion chamber, and combusting the fuel and the nitrogen-enriched air stream within the combustion chamber, thereby moving a piston within the combustion chamber.

A diluted solution production method of the present invention is a diluted solution production method of producing a diluted solution of a second liquid by adding the second liquid to a first liquid, the method including feeding the first liquid to a first pipe; and controlling pressure in a tank that stores the second liquid to add, through the second pipe that connects the tank to the first pipe, the second liquid to the first liquid in the first pipe. Adding the second liquid includes measuring a flow rate of the first liquid or the diluted solution that flows through the first pipe; measuring a component concentration of the diluted solution; and controlling the pressure in the tank, based on the measured values of the flow rate and the component concentration, so as to adjust the component concentration of the diluted solution to a specified value.
