A compounding apparatus for mixing at least two materials into an admixture can include a processor and software configured to select a non-universal ingredient for substitution as a temporary universal ingredient to be used as a buffer when an original universal ingredient buffer is not available. The processor and software can also include an auto adjust feature to correct for tube wear and other factors creating non-compliant final bag fills. The processor and software can also include a disable station designation feature that allows for disabling a problem station and diverting operation from the designated disabled station to a substitute station. Such operation can ensure continued production of the compounding apparatus.

A delivery system is provided that includes a device having a body extending along a longitudinal axis between proximal and distal ends. The body includes a proximal chamber, a distal chamber and a wall between the chambers. The body includes a first port in communication with the proximal chamber and a second port in communication with the distal chamber. A shaft is movably positioned within the body. The shaft extends through the wall and includes a proximal plunger positioned within the proximal chamber and a distal plunger positioned within the distal chamber. Pressure introduced through an opening in the proximal end moves the shaft such that the proximal plunger moves a fluid within the proximal chamber out of the first port and the distal plunger moves a fluid within the distal chamber out of the second port to simultaneously actuate a bone filler dispenser. Systems and methods are also provided.

A system for mixing fire-suppressant gel with water on board an aircraft includes a gel reservoir mounted in the aircraft, a pump for injecting gel into a flow of water into an aircraft-mounted payload tank, and a control system for controlling gel-water mix ratios. The control system monitors water volume flowing into the water tank, and regulates the gel pump to inject gel in appropriate amounts to produce gel-water emulsions having precise gel-water ratios. Settings for the control system are set by the pilot before water flow water is initiated. Once the aircraft is in flight, the gel-water mixing process is automatically controlled through a trigger on the pilot's control stick. The aircraft may be a helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft adapted to load water from a lake or other source while in flight, or a fixed-wing aircraft adapted to load water on land from a pressurized water source.

A multi-component fluid delivery system includes a first fluid pump and a second fluid pump. The first and the second fluid pumps are not mechanically coupled to each other. The multi-component fluid delivery system further includes a control system comprising a processor configured to derive a slip ratio for the first fluid pump and the second fluid pump. The processor is additionally configured to apply a master-slave motor control to deliver a specified fluid ratio via the first and the second fluid pumps based on the slip ratio.

A fluid delivery system includes a first pressure sensor disposed on or near a spray gun and configured to monitor a first fluid, and a second pressure sensor disposed on or near the spray gun and configured to monitor a second fluid. The fluid delivery system further includes control system comprising a processor configured to receive a first signal from the first pressure sensor and to receive a second signal from the second pressure sensor. The processor is further configured to derive a pressure difference between the first and the second pressure sensor representative of a fluid pressure difference between the first fluid and the second fluid and to control one or more pumps to obtain a desired pressure difference.

A system and a method for generating a liquid mixture are provided. The system may comprise: a plurality of reservoirs, wherein the reservoirs are configured to hold a plurality of viscous liquids; at least one mixing device, wherein the mixing device is configured to mix at least two liquids from the plurality of reservoirs, and wherein the mixing device includes a static mixer; a plurality of peristaltic pumps configured to deliver the liquids from the reservoirs to the mixing device; at least one electronic system, wherein the electronic system is configured to receive at least one user-specific information regarding a mixing ratio of the at least two liquids from a computer app on at least one mobile device, and wherein the system is configured to mix the at least two liquids according to the predefined mixing ratio by employing the plurality of peristaltic pumps and the static mixer.

The invention provides a carbonation tank assembly for admixing a gas and a potable liquid used in preparation of drinks. The assembly includes a tank body with an interior that can be easily accessed for cleaning and repair purposes by removing upper and lower end plates securely and sealing fitted by gaskets to the upper and lower ends of the tank. The interior is connected to a liquid source for supplying liquid, a gas source for carbonating the liquid, and drawing means for dispensing carbonated liquid from the interior of the tank.

A water purification apparatus includes a water inlet; a medicine mixing device in fluid communication with the water inlet; and a water outlet interconnected to the medicine mixing device and a dental treatment center. The medicine mixing device includes a medicine storage for storing antiseptic solution, a mixing unit interconnected to the water inlet, the water outlet, and the medicine storage, and a controller interconnected to the water inlet and the medicine storage. The controller includes a sensor and a microprocessor. The controller sends the antiseptic solution from the medicine storage to the mixing unit and controls a volume of water flowing from the water inlet to the mixing unit. The microprocessor instructs the controller to control a volume of the antiseptic solution supplied from the medicine storage to the mixing unit based on a signal sensed by the sensor.

Embodiments of the present invention include a blending system that delivers granular material directly from designated storage containers into a blender based on the liquid flow rate into the blender and the blender slurry flow rate exiting the blender. The blending system utilizes a blender controller system in communication with a blender slurry flow meter, a blender liquid flow meter, a conveyor load cell, a conveyor motor, and a conveyor speed sensor, wherein the blender control system is configured to regulate the amount of granular material entering the hopper based on the entrance rate of liquid into the blender and the exit rate of the fracturing fluid slurry from the blender.

The present invention relates to a portable liquid mixing device capable of mixing different types of various liquids, and the different types of various liquids may include various beverages. The present invention includes a plurality of containers configured to contain respective specific liquids, a selection unit configured to select any one of the plurality of containers, a control unit configured to control the introduction of a selected liquid into a mixing container, and a mixing unit configured to mix various liquids introduced into the mixing container. According to the present invention, different types of liquids may be mixed together. In particular, beverages having various flavors are put into respective containers, mixed together and then drunk. Furthermore, a scale is marked on the surface of the mixing container, and thus the amount of liquid may be accurately measured, so that liquids may be mixed at an accurate ratio.
