The present disclosure discloses a process for the continuous manufacture of a liquid pharmaceutical composition, the process comprising providing a mixing unit, feeding a therapeutic agent and a liquid vehicle to the mixing unit, operating the latter thereby mixing the agent and the vehicle into a liquid pharmaceutical composition, discharging the composition into a holding unit.

A dishwasher includes a drying system that incorporates a mixing conduit that mixes air streams from an exhaust fan that draws humid air from a wash tub, an inlet fan that supplies ambient air to the wash tub, and a gate device that is movable within a range of positions to regulate fluid flow through at least one of first and second inlets of the mixing conduit. A controller may perform a multi-stage drying operation that, in a first stage, controls the gate device while the inlet fan is deactivated, and in a second stage, additionally controls the speed of the inlet fan while controlling the gate device.

A dispersing device (1) has a dispersing tool (3), which has a shaft tube (2), and a drive (4). A dispersing rotor is provided at the free shaft tube (2) end (5) remote from the drive (4), the dispersing rotor being connected to the drive (4) via a shaft which can be coupled to the drive (4) and which is arranged within the shaft tube (2). In order to monitor the temperature of the medium to be dispersed, a temperature sensor (7) with a corresponding electric input and output line (8) is provided on the shaft tube (2), which is stationary relative to the dispersing rotor and the rotatable shaft, the input and output lines (8) connecting the temperature sensor (7) to the drive (4) and/or analyzing electronics and/or a control or regulating device.

A method for converting material within a vacuum tank that contains a mixture of liquid and solid material into a solidified batch of material. The method utilizes various devices to measure different features and properties of the tank and its contents to determine an amount of drying agent to be added to the tank. The method further utilizes various devices and methods for adding the drying agent to the tank and mixing the drying agent with the material within the tank. The method described herein may be completed automatically in response to human input on a handheld display device.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and substantially dried product. The apparatus uses a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. The bucket assembly can include a metal housing that has a flat bottom surface with multiple support structures that hold respective impeller assemblies that rotate about respective vertical axes. The impeller assemblies each include cutting structures and other structures designed to mix and agitate matter contained in the bucket assembly. One or more blade arrays can be mounted in a vertical orientation on a side of the metal housing plate and assist in fracture cutting and grinding of contents contained in the bucket.

Described herein are novel construction materials and construction material compositions, processes, and equipment for manufacturing press-formed biocement and bioconcrete products and construction materials. In some embodiments, the methods include combining aggregate particles with a first measured dose of at least one biological organism or enzyme and a first measured dose of cementation reagents in a first mixer, mixing the contents of the first mixer and reacting the first measured dose of the cementation reagents in the presence of the first measured dose of the at least one biological organism or enzyme to form a biocement which binds to the surfaces of the aggregate particles, thereby increasing the size of the particles to yield a biocement coated aggregate.

A smart humidifier (e.g., for humidors, such as cigar humidors) has a built in refillable water tank, a wick disposed in the tank in fluid communication with liquid in the tank, and an automizer operable to convert liquid in the wick to a mist that is dispersed out of a housing of the humidifier. The humidifier includes a sensor that senses relative humidity of a space adjacent the humidifier, and a microcontroller unit controls an operation of the atomizer to adjust the humidity in the space to maintain the humidity within a preferred humidity range.

A coating composition system for weighing and formulating coating compositions comprises a physical enclosure enclosing an electronic coating composition networking device. The electronic coating composition networking device comprises a local communication interface configured to receive a physical connector from an electronic scale and a network communication interface configured to communicate with an internet gateway. Additionally, at least one sensor may be integrated within the electronic coating composition networking device. The electronic coating composition networking device also receives, through the local communication interface, a mass variable from the electronic scale and a sensor variable from the at least one sensor. The electronic coating composition networking device then generates a network data structure comprising the sensor variable and the mass variable. The electronic coating composition networking device communicates, through the internet gateway, the network data structure to a remote server.
