A cutting tool adapter for creating an underpinning structure and method of creating the underpinning structure are provided. In some examples, the cutting tool adapter may connect a cutting tool to a working machine arm to enable the cutting tool to cut and dislodge soil below an existing foundation or structure. As the soil is cut and dislodged, it is mechanical mixed with an additive, such as a cementitious material, via the cutting tool. The mixed soil and additive may then harden in the area below the existing structure or foundation to create an underpinning structure to provide additional support for the existing structure or foundation.

Static plant for preparing feed mixes for ruminant livestock, having a conveyor unit for conveying the feed mix ingredients, chain and/or screw feeders, feeders with weight sensors and supplementary conveyor belt, silos of solid ingredients, and silos of liquid ingredients, independently supplying via the conveyor unit, with dual flow, two or more high-capacity mixers.

An apparatus for dispensing a mixture of a diluent and an additive for sanitation, cosmetic or cleaning applications. The apparatus includes a mixing unit for creating a mixture of the diluent and the additive, a diluent supply supplying the diluent to the mixing unit, an additive supply supplying the additive to the mixing unit, an outlet for dispensing the mixture. The diluent supply includes a pump arranged to increase the pressure of the diluent before the diluent enters the mixing unit.

Provided is a mixing apparatus. The mixing apparatus comprises a housing defining a primary chamber, an inlet for receiving material into the mixing apparatus, as well as an outlet for discharging material from the mixing apparatus. The housing provides within the primary chamber a plurality of rotating shafts, each rotating shaft having a plurality of flailing fixtures associated therewith.

This disclosure provides a high solids biomass slurry that is readily pumpable and transportable to downstream processing units, such as chemical and/or biochemical processing units. The slurry is amenable to saccharification efficiencies of >70 % in processing times of <36 hours. Also provided are devices for processing materials, such as the high solids biomass slurry.

The invention discloses an environmentally friendly fertilizer device based on big data, comprising a work box and a crushing space set in the work box, wherein a crushing driving space is set in one end wall of the crushing space, wherein a crushing mechanism is set in the crushing driving space; by turning on a first electromagnetic switch, the kitchen garbage enters the crushing space from the feed inlet, so the kitchen garbage is crushed by the crushing space. A transmission space is arranged in the lower end wall of the crushing space, and a driving space is set in the lower end wall of the crushing driving space; a stirring space is set in the lower end wall of the transmission space; the crushed kitchen garbage enters the stirring space through a circulation pipeline and is stirred by the stirring mechanism, thereby the kitchen garbage can be fully fermented.

The present disclosure relates to a household appliance, in particular a household food processor, for preparing food particularly by chopping, blending and/or heating the food in a food preparation container. The household appliance comprises the food preparation container, into which an ingredient for food preparation can be fed by the user. At least one sensor for determining a feeding quantity of an ingredient as the ingredient is being fed into the food preparation container is provided, and a control device of the household appliance is configured such that the feeding quantity is determined based on a sensor signal of the sensor. A food that requires a uniform feed of an ingredient for a predetermined period of time can thus be prepared particularly reliably and reproducibly by a user.

The present disclosure relates to a food preparation appliance and to a method and a computer program product. The food preparation appliance comprises a food preparation pot, a rotatable tool for chopping food in the food preparation pot and a sensor, in particular for weight determination of a food in the food preparation pot. A control unit is provided and configured such that, when a food is comminuted by the tool, the control unit is able to determine, based on a sensor signal from the sensor, whether a predetermined chopping state of the food has been reached. The present disclosure further relates to a method and a computer program product. It is thus possible to obtain a particularly reproducible cooking result.

Provided is a stirring device that allows a weight measurement during a rotation operation to be accurately performed while suppressing increase in reinforcement structures required for support of a stirring container and suppressing increase in weight. A device frame is provided with legs, a heating kettle is provided with a reinforcement base attached on the bottom side, a motor bed is provided to support a cutter/motor unit to the reinforcement base or the device frame, load cells are provided to indirectly measure a change in weight of a stirring substance in the heating kettle during a rotation operation of the cutter/motor unit, and closed reinforced structures are configured to include the heating kettle, the cutter/motor unit, the reinforcement base, and the supporting stand as reinforcing members.

A hand-crank operated food processor includes a container with a removeable lid. The lid incorporates a number of gears that are operable by the hand crank to cause a drive shaft to spin, imparting a rotational force to a food processing implement such as a blade or a paddle carried on the drive shaft. The crank can be inserted into any one of a plurality of attachment points such that rotation of the crank handle in a selected attachment point will rotate the gears, and therefore the drive shaft, at a different rotational speed as compared to the rotational speed achieved at a different one of the plurality of attachment points at the same input speed from the crank.
