This disclosure relates to making medical solutions. In certain aspects, a method is performed by a data processing apparatus. The method includes introducing liquid into a container that contains a dissolvable solid concentrate in a manner so that a layer of solution above the solid concentrate is maintained at a depth that allows the liquid introduced into the container to agitate the solution adjacent to the solid concentrate to cause mixing of the solid concentrate with the solution.

A modular premix batching and dispensing system for crop micronutrient application includes a skid-based batching and mixing system with a first dry bin to store a dry mineral sulfate; a second dry bin to store an amino acid; a water source; a reactor having a mixing mechanism and connected with the water source and the dry bins; and a first controller configured to automatically control transfer of water, dry mineral sulfate, and amino acid to the reactor and to control operation of the reactor; and a skid-based day tank system with at least one day tank configured to store mineral amino acid complex received from the reactor; and a dispensing network configured to selectively transfer the mineral amino acid complex to an application receptable. An associated method of preparing and delivering micronutrients using a modular premix batching and dispensing system is also described.

An automated computer-controlled sampling system and related methods for collecting, processing, and analyzing agricultural samples for various chemical properties such as plant available nutrients. The sampling system allows multiple samples to be processed and analyzed for different analytes or chemical properties in a simultaneous concurrent or semi-concurrent manner. Advantageously, the system can process soil samples in the as collected condition without drying or grinding. The system generally includes a sample preparation sub-system which receives soil samples collected by a probe collection sub-system and produces a slurry (i.e. mixture of soil, vegetation, and/or manure and water), and a chemical analysis sub-system which processes the prepared slurry samples for quantifying multiple analytes and/or chemical properties of the sample. The sample preparation and chemical analysis sub-systems can be used to analyze soil, vegetation, and/or manure samples.

A blending system is described for preparing a blended mixture. The blending system includes a control system having at least a processor, a computer-readable memory, and a display, wherein the memory contains software configured to receive a formula defining instructions for preparing a blended mixture using one or more blending materials and amounts recommended for the blended mixture using a scale. The blending system further includes management software stored in the computer-readable memory and executed by the control system, the software in communication with the control system to exchange information on customers and formulas blended mixtures associated with the customers. Additionally, the control system includes software configured to calculate information associated with the blended mixture when an input received by the control system indicates an amount that is different than an amount in the formula and displays the calculated information associated with the blended mixture on the display.

In order to provide a feed mixture, a feed mixer is proposed which has a container. The container has a bottom and a wall which is connected to the bottom and delimits a filling opening, the area of which is greater than the area of the bottom. A rotatable auger is provided which can be rotated about an axis, the axis running substantially perpendicularly with respect to the bottom. The feed mixer has a pivoting device which is intended and suitable for pivoting the container during a mixing operation, in particular after a predefined time period or after a predefined number of revolutions of the at least one auger.

No new matter is added.

A mixing system for mixing ground or soil with an additive in a batch mode, the mixing system comprising: a moveable mixing device for mixing the ground with an additive, and moving mechanism, such as a moveable arm; a cargo body positioning area for receiving a cargo body; the cargo body positioning area and the moving mechanism being configured in position such that the mixing device can be positioned in the ground through an upper open side of the cargo body; the mixing system furthermore comprising information obtaining system for automated obtaining information regarding the load of the cargo body for allowing the mixing system to mix the ground with the additive, taking into account said information.

The present disclosure discloses a process for the continuous manufacture of a liquid pharmaceutical composition, the process comprising providing a mixing unit, feeding a therapeutic agent and a liquid vehicle to the mixing unit, operating the latter thereby mixing the agent and the vehicle into a liquid pharmaceutical composition, discharging the composition into a holding unit.

A raw material/container supply device for an individual-specific cosmetic manufacturing selling machine is capable of making it possible to check the remaining amounts of respective raw materials in real time even from a remote location and is capable of preventing the mixing of impurities during replenishment of raw materials. The raw material/container supply device includes a raw material supply device configured to supply cosmetic raw materials contained in disposable raw material pouches and a container supply device configured to supply a container having a container body and a cap fastened to the container body in a state in which the containeris horizontally loaded on a cartridge.

A commodity agitation system is provided for agitating a commodity in a commodity feed system including a tank storing the commodity and a metering device delivering the commodity to a seeder duct of an associated agricultural implement. An agitator module of the commodity agitation system includes a frame configured to couple the agitator module with the tank, a commodity working member configured to engage the commodity stored in the tank, and a drive system configured to control movement of the commodity working member based on a command signal. A controller of the commodity agitation system includes a memory device, a processor device, a set of agitation control parameters and control logic stored in the memory device. The agitation control logic is executable by the processor device to generate the command signal for controlling the movement of the commodity working member based on the set of agitation control parameters.
