There is provided a method for producing hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS), including an esterification step of reacting hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose with an acetylating agent and a succinoylating agent in the presence of an aliphatic carboxylic acid in a kneader reactor equipped with two or more stirring blades rotating around their own axes and orbitally revolving, to obtain a reaction product solution containing HPMCAS; a precipitation step of precipitating the HPMCAS by mixing the reaction product solution with water to obtain a suspension of the precipitated HPMCAS; and a washing and recovery step of washing the HPMCAS in the suspension and recovering the washed HPMCAS. Further, there is provided HPMCAS having yellowness at 20° C. of 15.0 or less, as determined in a 2% by mass solution of the HPMCAS in a mixed solvent of dichloromethane, methanol and water in a mass ratio of 44:44:10.

The present set of embodiments relate to a system, method, and apparatus for culturing cells within a cell culture vessel having a mixing element. The cell culture system includes a flexible portion and a mixing element disposed therein. The mixing element includes a suspended foldable portion. The system is configured to reduce shear stress on cells without compromising mixing efficiency. This reduction is accomplished by using a mixing element having a large surface area allowing for reduced rotational speeds. The system is collapsible for ease of transport and disposal. The flexible portion collapses and the foldable portion folds to minimize the volume of the system while not in operation.

A fine bubbles generation system for converting gas into fine bubbles in liquid is disclosed.

A fine bubbles generation method for converting gas into fine bubbles in liquid is also disclosed.

Provided in the invention is an SCR system urea mixer. The SCR system urea mixer comprises an outer pipe and an inner pipe arranged in the outer pipe. The outer pipe comprises an air inlet cone pipe (11) and an air inlet straight pipe (12) connected with the air inlet cone pipe (11). The inner pipe comprises an air inlet rectifying pipe (21) and a porous pipe (22). The porous pipe (22) is sleeved outside the air inlet rectifying pipe (21). The air inlet rectifying pipe (21) is provided with an airstream rotating mechanism (211), and the airstream rotating mechanism (211) is used for rotating exhaust gas which enters into the air inlet cone pipe (11). A rotating structure and a porous structure are used in the SCR system urea mixer, so that urea and engine exhaust are fully mixed; and the SCR system urea mixer is provided with heat preservation measures to prevent the crystallization of the urea. Moreover, the SCR system urea mixer has no complex connection installation structure, the installation is convenient, the reliability is high, and the versatility is strong. In addition, also provided in the invention is an SCR system which is installed with the SCR system urea mixer.

A mixing paddle is comprised of a compound, integral center shaft, a rim, a first plurality of parallel blades and a second plurality of parallel blades. The compound, integral center shaft bisects the rim, creating a first side of the rim and a second side of the rim. The first plurality of parallel blades is disposed between the compound, integral center shaft and the first side of the rim. The second plurality of parallel blades is disposed between the compound, integral center shaft and the second side of the rim. The first plurality of parallel blades is orthogonal to the second plurality of parallel blades.

A stirring apparatus includes a power tool such as a drill or cordless screwdriver, and a stirring bit that may be removably inserted into the power tool in the conventional manner for stirring a liquid or any other material that requires stirring or agitation for proper use or consumption. The stirring bit, in a preferred embodiment, is a generally longitudinal structure having a first and a second end, where the first end includes a hexagonal cross section, similarly to any standard drill bit, and a second end that include a clamp mechanism. The clamp mechanism is used for attaching a stirring stick or paddle to the stirring bit. In another embodiment, the stirring bit may include a beater or frothing mechanism, rather than the clamp mechanism.

A method for preparing semisolid slurry. The method is achieved using a device for preparing semisolid slurry. The device includes a slurry vessel and a mechanical stirring rod. The mechanical stirring rod includes a first end and a second end extending into the slurry vessel. The method includes: S1. putting a molten alloy having a first preset temperature into the slurry vessel; S2. cooling the molten alloy to a second preset temperature, positioning the second end of the mechanical stirring rod to be 5-25 mm higher than the bottom wall of the slurry vessel, rotating the mechanical stirring rod and injecting a cooling medium into the mechanical stirring rod; and S3: allowing the temperature of the molten alloy to be 10-90 degrees centigrade lower than the liquidus temperature of the molten alloy, stopping stirring and cooling, to yield a semisolid slurry.

A liquid aeration device and method is provided that is configured for insertion into the mouth of a bottle of liquid which includes a battery powered impeller that strikes and aerates the liquid, as it is poured from the bottle. An optional inductive/wireless battery charging feature is also described which allows the aeration device to be recharged.

A system includes a recirculation line, a mainline flow meter operable to measure a flowrate of fluid flowing through the recirculation line, a mixing chamber, an inlet line coupled between the recirculation line and the mixing chamber, at least one chemical injection port coupled to the inlet line, a dedicated feed pump operably associated with each chemical injection port, and an outlet line coupled between the mixing chamber and the recirculation line. The mixing chamber includes a plurality of mixing zones, a mixing blade assembly that includes at least one blade within each mixing zone, and a motor coupled to the mixing blade assembly and operable to rotate the mixing blade assembly. Each of the dedicated feed pumps is coupled to a separate chemical supply and is operable to pump a chemical to the corresponding chemical injection port for injection into the inlet line.

The present invention relates to a unique helical design for scraper blades (1) and a driver-disc (2) that allows for optimum performance when preparing single-serve portions (100-300 ml) of freshly-made frozen and/or chilled confections on demand directly in a packaging container. The present invention improves upon the prior art by not only shortening the time it takes (less than 180 seconds) to prepare portionable volumes of freshly made frozen/chilled confections with optimal microstructure inside a conically shaped container packaging, but also minimises cross-contamination and reduces the need for cleaning in-between portions/batches.
