A method of creating color solution, comprises the steps of: receiving color shade solution values corresponding to respective color shade solutions and color shade quantity values corresponding to respective amounts of said respective color shade solutions; mapping each of said received color shade solution values to respective locations where said respective color shade solutions are stored; and releasing into a mixing container said respective color shade solutions in said respective amounts. An apparatus is capable of performing the above steps.

Disclosed is an automatic ink color blending apparatus, which comprises an apparatus cabinet (1) with a carrying platform (11), an ink bucket moving platform (2) provided on the carrying platform, the ink bucket moving platform including a moving guide rail (21), a weighing device (22) and an ink bucket (23), and wherein the ink bucket is disposed on the weighing device,the weighing device is provided on the moving guide rail and moves along the moving guide rail, an ink supply tank (3) arranged above the ink bucket moving platform,and wherein the ink supply tank includes a plurality of ink supply devices (31), each of which provides inks of different chromaticity and a control terminal (4) provided on the carrying platform, which is electrically connected to the ink supply tank, the moving guide rail and the weighing device respectively, for obtaining target chromaticity information, and generating control information of ink selection to select one or several ink supply devices to inject the corresponding chromaticity ink into the ink bucket sucessively, wherein the control information of ink selection includes selection information of an ink device and information of the amount of ink to be injected.

A dispenser includes a body defining an internal volume and an opening that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body. A first tubular member extends through the opening. A length of the first tubular member is greater than or equal to about 150% of a height of the body. In response to squeezing the body, a composition in the internal volume flows out of the body through the opening and into the first tubular member.

A system for providing custom cosmetic products includes a lower base configured to receive a plurality of containers, an upper base, and a plurality of dispensing cylinders coupled to the upper base. The dispensing cylinders are configured to selectively deposit cosmetic ingredients into the containers.

Concentrated liquid flavorings and methods of preparing flavored beverages using the concentrated liquid flavorings are described herein. The concentrated liquid flavorings are shelf stable for prolonged storage times at ambient temperatures. Shelf stability is provided, at least in part, by acidic pH and/or reduced water activity. By one approach, the concentrated liquid flavorings are intended to provide flavor to a beverage, such as coffee, tea, milk, or other savory beverage. The concentrated liquid flavorings may be provided in a convenient portable and dosable format that can be easily used by a consumer to provide the desired flavor and amount of flavor to a beverage.

The present disclosure relates to a container for the production of a foamed sclerosant composition, to kits and systems including such a container, to methods for preparing a foamed sclerosant composition using such containers, and to foamed sclerosant compositions obtainable by such methods. In an aspect, the container comprises a sealed sterile container body having one or more sidewalls extending between a top and a bottom of the container body and defining a foaming space. The container further comprises a mixing element disposed in the container body. The container contains a previously introduced gas and liquid sclerosant composition. The mixing element is configured to be operatively coupled with a rotatable actuator without the actuator reaching the foaming space. A medical professional may select the appropriate quantity and concentration for every treatment.

A multi-reservoir dispensing, disposable and sterile container has at least two separate and distinct reservoirs positioned adjacent to one another, and which can be readily manufactured using blow-fill-seal technology. The reservoirs contain components of a mixed pharmaceutical formulation, which is prepared at the time of dispensing from the container by blending of the contents of the reservoirs. Liquid flow channels extend from each reservoir and merge together at or near an exit aperture of the container, and a mixing feature can be employed at or downstream of the point of merging. In the container as provided to a user the exit aperture is blocked by a seal, which is removed prior to dispensing.
