An apparatus and method for automatically preparing a mixture of particles of two or more substances such as but not limited to raw tobacco and raw medical cannabis flowers in one or more receptacle where the mixture proportion is predefined, is disclosed. The apparatus of the invention can be used for mixing any types of herbal substances. Moreover, the apparatus of the invention can be used for mixing one or more kinds of the same substance, for example mixing two or more kinds of marijuana strains. The apparatus includes one or more compartments for inserting each of the substances separately, In some variations of the present invention the size of at least one of the compartments is smaller for predefined smaller quantities of raw herbal material for example, a single marijuana flower.

Disclosed herein are a smart blender and an information provision system using the same. The smart blender includes: a body part configured such that a drive motor is provided therein; a container part configured such that food ingredients are introduced thereinto; a grip part formed on the outer circumferential surface of the container part; a cover part detachably coupled to the top of the container part; a weight measurement portion configured to measure the weight of the food ingredients introduced into the container part; an information input/output portion configured to display the measured result of the weight measurement portion, and to receive information about the food ingredients and information about the number of persons from a user; and a control unit configured to determine the state of the food ingredients and control the operation of the blender according to the measured result of the weight measurement portion.

A method includes the step of receiving a first weight value from a sensor associated with a feed mixer. A first rotation speed associated with the first weight value is monitored. A second weight value is received from the sensor associated with the feed mixer and a second rotation speed associated with the second weight value is monitored. A mixing profile is generated based on the first weight value, the second weight value, the first rotation speed, and the second rotation speed. In one embodiment, a first feed ingredient is associated with the first weight value and a second feed ingredient is associated with the second weight value.

Provided are a method for supplying water of specified concentration, including: a step of adding at least two liquids, a conductive first liquid and a non-conductive second liquid, to ultrapure water to produce water of specified concentration containing a first liquid-component and a second liquid-component at specified concentrations, in which a mixed solution in which the first liquid and the second liquid are mixed at a specified mixing ratio in advance is prepared; and the mixed solution is added to the ultrapure water so that a conductivity or specific resistance of the ultrapure water after the addition satisfies a specified value, and an apparatus therefor.

A printhead for an additive manufacturing system includes a hopper, an outlet, a mixing shaft, and a drive shaft. The hopper includes an inner volume configured to store a slurry material for mixing. The outlet includes a passageway fluidly coupled with the hopper. The outlet includes an open end for discharging the slurry material to a surface through the passageway. The mixing shaft extends through the inner volume of the hopper and includes a member that extends radially outwards from the mixing shaft. The member is configured to mix the slurry material within the hopper as the mixing shaft rotates. The drive shaft extends through the inner volume of the hopper and at least partially into the passageway of the outlet. The drive shaft includes a sloped surface configured to drive the slurry material from the hopper to the surface through the passageway of the outlet.

A method includes the step of receiving a first weight value from a sensor associated with a feed mixer. A first rotation speed associated with the first weight value is monitored. A second weight value is received from the sensor associated with the feed mixer and a second rotation speed associated with the second weight value is monitored. A mixing profile is generated based on the first weight value, the second weight value, the first rotation speed, and the second rotation speed. In one embodiment, a first feed ingredient is associated with the first weight value and a second feed ingredient is associated with the second weight value.

There is disclosed a system for mixing a product including a high-precision scale for weighing product combinates added to the product, a series of computer-controlled flow control mechanisms for releasing product combinates as directed by a first computing device, a machine-readable label printer for printing a label including instructions to create the product from the product combinates at the direction of the first computing device, and a machine-readable language scanner for the label at the direction of the first computing device. The first computing device receives a request for the product, directs the machine-readable label printer to print the label including the instructions, directs the machine-readable language scanner to read the instructions; and operates the series of flow control mechanisms in response to data from the high-precision scale to release at least one of the product combinates in an amount directed by the instructions to create the product.

A system for dispensing a plant-based milk includes a mixing chamber for emulsifying a plant-based paste and water, a plant-based paste storage connected to the mixing chamber via a first conduit, a water storage connected to the mixing chamber via a second conduit, and a cooling system. The system includes a pumping system for moving a prescribed amount of the plant-based paste into the mixing chamber upon receiving an input from a user via a user interface, a flow system for flowing water from the water storage to the mixing chamber, and a control system. The control system receives the input from the user, activates the pumping system and activates the flow system. Further, the control system activates the mixing chamber for emulsifying the plant-based paste and the water, and dispenses the emulsified plant-based mixture of the paste and the water.

An improved system and method for fluidizing dry powder-based additives into downhole well operations utilizes a dried, low-volume air stream and an ejector nozzle in order to disperse the powders into a liquid stream. In an embodiment, the system can be placed on a powder blending trailer in order to convey additives directly from bulk transport bins into a liquid stream, through the use of an atmospheric pressure hydration tank fitted with a cyclone separator to ensure an even dispersal into the liquid stream.
