A device for mixing and dispensing bone material is provided. The device comprises a tubular member having an interior surface configured to receive bone material and a fluid to mix the bone material disposed within the tubular member. The tubular member is flexible and has a proximal opening configured to slidably receive a plunger, and a distal opening configured to dispense a mixed bone material from the interior surface of the tubular member. The plunger is less flexible than the tubular member. Methods of mixing and dispensing bone material are also provided.

A blender system for blending ingredients from a container with a fluid includes a bottle, a disinfection device, and a container. The bottle has a blending chamber with an opening to receive a fluid and a shoulder about the opening. The lid is configured to couple with the bottle and includes a container receiver. The container receiver is configured to receive the container and position a lip of the container against the shoulder when the lid is coupled to the bottle. The container receiver is further configured to press the container towards the opening while the shoulder holds the lip stationary to discharge the ingredients from the container into the fluid in the blending chamber. The disinfection mechanism kills bacteria, viruses and other pathogens in the container and bottle.

A refillable solution dispensing device includes a housing having an upper section and a lower section. An actuator exposed through the exterior of the upper section. The actuator is movably connected to an air chamber and a solution chamber. The solution chamber is in fluid communication with the solution reservoir and a discharge nozzle. The air chamber is fluidly connected to the discharge nozzle. The actuator is coupled to a mixing shaft that protrudes into the lower section. The lower section comprises an interior volume that functions as a solution reservoir. A solution cartridge and water are inserted into the solution reservoir. A solution mixer is rotatably coupled to the mixing shaft combining the solution within the solution cartridge, the solution cartridge, and the water into one solution. Upon an activation of the actuator, the solution and the air will mix and exit the discharge nozzle.

Provided herein are systems and methods of collecting a biological sample. Samples may be collected using a sample collection apparatus. The sample collection apparatus may be used to store samples for shipping. The sample collection apparatus may be used to store samples for later analysis. The sample collection apparatus may comprise a membrane having one or more test regions for detecting one or more target analytes within the sample. The sample collection apparatus may comprise a membrane having one or more test regions for quantifying one or more target analytes within the sample.

The present invention relates to a system and process for a nutraceutical beverage compounding system and methods for the same. Provided is a customizable supplement beverage system and method for personalizing and operating the same to a particular user and optionally for operative tracking. Proposed additionally is an operative system for receiving and individually identifying a concentrate or supplement combinations, for mixing the same prior to a use, and for dispensing the same for use, and for tracking control factors relating to the same.

An example fluid management system for generating a fluid for a treatment operation may include a mixer and a first portable container disposed proximate to and elevated above the mixer. The first portable container may hold dry chemical additives. A feeder may be positioned below the first portable container to direct dry chemical additives from the first portable container to the mixer. The system may also include a first pump to provide fluid to the mixer from a fluid source.

A formula delivery appliance generally includes a formula delivery head having features to mix, direct, and distribute formulation through nozzles to a desired location, such as the hair or scalp of a user. In this regard, the formula delivery head may include a plurality of nozzles configured to discharge the formulation at a desired flow rate. In some instances, the flow rate across the plurality of nozzles is controlled such that each nozzle has a flow rate within a specified percentage of the average flow rate across the plurality of nozzles.

One aspect relates to a method of producing a bone cement from at least two starting components in a device comprising a first hollow cylinder-shaped container and a second hollow cylinder-shaped container, a vessel arranged in the first container, whereby a monomer liquid is stored in the vessel. The aspect also relates to a device for providing a bone cement from two starting components, comprising a hollow cylinder-shaped first container, in which a vessel for a monomer liquid as first starting component can be stored, a hollow cylinder-shaped second container comprising a first internal space, in which a bone cement powder as second starting component can be stored, and a second internal space into which the monomer liquid can be conveyed, a fluid-conducting conveying means arranged between the first internal space and the second internal space, whereby the first container and the second container are axially connected to each other.

Provided herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods for localized, on-demand diesel exhaust fluid (“DEF”) production. The systems can comprise a loading station for securing a container comprising a pre-measured quantity of urea and releasing the urea from the container. The released urea and water can then be fed into a mixing tank to produce the DEF product. The water can be pre-treated, for example, in a reverse osmosis and/or deionization process before being fed to the mixing tank. The DEF product can be immediately dispensed into a diesel vehicle or stored in a nearby intermediate storage tank. The systems and processes advantageously reduce or eliminate the need for over-the-road shipments and retail packaging of DEF.

Described is an apparatus for preparing baby formula using a liquid concentrate solution. The apparatus includes a housing with a cavity for receiving and holding a container liquid concentrate solution. A motor is attached with the housing for forcing liquid concentrate solution from the container and into a mixing chamber. A pump and a water tank are also included. A spray head is attached with the housing. The spray head includes a plurality of spray jets in fluid connection with the pump for receiving water from the water tank and dispensing water from the spray jets into the mixing chamber. Finally, the mixing chamber receives the liquid concentrate solution and water, such that when the water and the liquid concentrate solution are introduced into the mixing chamber, the water and liquid concentrate solution mix into a baby formula and are dispensed from an outlet in the mixing chamber.
