A domestic beverage carbonator for carbonating a liquid in a bottle comprising temperature and pressure sensors that communicate with a processor to improve the carbonation process. The device further comprises a CO2 cylinder coupling and a cylinder discharge valve, an exhaust valve, a fill head and a user interface. The user interface further comprises user controls and a graphic display and the fill head has a pressure sensor to sense a pressure in the attached bottle and communicate a pressure signal to the processor and the processor uses the pressure signal to regulate the cylinder valve and the exhaust valve.

The present invention discloses a system, method and non-transitory software based computer writeable medium usable with a processor driven device for optimizing the diagnosis, treatment and resolution of worker injury events, such as associated with a workman compensation claim, and which improves upon the existing paper based module by synthesizing, in a digital environment, symptom, treatment and progress variables in a multi-party available format. A further related rehabilitation module, such as not limited to a worker injury event but also including any injury event associated with a typical accountable care organization (insurer/other payor/etc.) in a general health application is provided for establishing and tracking a patient's functional independent (FEM) measurement score. As with the workman compensation module, the rehabilitation module integrates the establishment of current conditions, achievable goals, and time based tracking of the patient treatment (including time elapsed changes in response to flat line response indicating a non-effective treatment plan) in order to define a patient goal outcome and to optimize real time treatment and progress tracking to that goal.

A system for processing foodstuffs includes a chamber including foodstuffs, a blade assembly, and a processor. The blade assembly includes blades configured to rotate within the chamber based on initiation of a blend cycle. The processor is configured to determine a trigger event to initiate a cleaning cycle of the blade assembly to remove foodstuffs remaining in the chamber, and execute the cleaning cycle, responsive to detecting the trigger event, by causing fluid to be injected into the chamber, causing the blades of the blade assembly to rotate for a predetermined amount of time, and cause removal of at least a portion of the fluid and the remaining foodstuffs from the chamber.

A gas-dissolved liquid producing apparatus capable of increasing a gas dissolution efficiency and enhancing stability of the concentration of gas-dissolved liquid is provided.

The gas-dissolved producing apparatus 1 includes an ozone gas supply unit 2 for supplying ozone gas, a pure water supply unit 3 for supplying pure water, and an ozonated water generator 4 for dissolving ozone gas in supplied pure water to generate ozonated water. The generator 4 includes a first nozzle 10 having a first optimum flow rate, a second nozzle 11 having a second optimum flow rate different from the first optimum flow rate, a flow rate detector 15 for detecting the flow rate of the supplied pure water, and a controller 16 for controlling which one of the first nozzle and the second nozzle should be supplied with the supplied gas, based on the flow rate of the pure water detected by the detector 15.

A liquid ejection device for a vehicle washing facility comprises a storage volume, a first supply line coupled upstream to the storage volume for supplying a first liquid, a supply unit coupled upstream to the storage volume for supplying a second liquid, and a removal line coupled downstream to the storage volume for discharging the liquid to be ejected, with a shut-off device for shutting off liquid flow through the removal line. The storage volume is sealed so that an increase in an internal gas pressure occurs in the storage volume when liquid is introduced. The device further comprises a detection unit for detecting the supplied volume of the second liquid into the storage volume and the internal gas pressure in the storage volume, and a control unit controls the supply of the second liquid based on the detected supplied volume of the second liquid and the internal gas pressure so that a predetermined mixing ratio of the first and second liquid is achieved in the storage volume.

A system for processing foodstuffs includes a container platform, a blade platform, and a locking mechanism. The container platform defines a container receptacle configured to receive a container including foodstuffs. The blade platform includes blades configured to rotate to process the foodstuffs. The locking mechanism is configured to couple the container platform to the blade platform to form a blending chamber including the blades and the container subsequent to determining that the container is received by the container receptacle and prior to rotation of the blades.

A mixing system includes an eductor, a supply connection connected to a reservoir for a primary fluid, a discharge connection, a storage container for a secondary substance, a centrifugal pump to convey the primary fluid through the supply connection, and a controller to control the centrifugal pump. The eductor includes a primary inlet for the primary fluid, a secondary inlet for the secondary substance, an outlet for a mixed fluid, and a suction chamber to suck the secondary substance, the primary inlet connected to the supply connection so that the primary fluid can flow from the reservoir into the eductor and the outlet connected to the discharge connection so that the mixed fluid can be discharged from the eductor. The secondary inlet is at the suction chamber and connected to the storage container. A closing device is between the suction chamber and the storage container.

The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to devices, systems and methods for mixing particulate matter such as salt with moisture. In various implementations, the mixer is transportable. In various implementations the mixer comprises a hopper, at least one auger, and a mixing housing. Various implementations, additionally include at least one liquid tank.

A system for dissolving solid chemical may include three reservoirs positioned in a vertically stacked arrangement. A solid chemical reservoir configured to receive solid chemical to be dissolved may be nested in a solution generator reservoir into which water is introduced to erode the solid chemical. A dissolved chemical reservoir can be positioned under the solid chemical reservoir and the solution generator reservoir. The dissolved chemical reservoir can store solution generated using the system. In some examples, a recirculation circuit is used to recirculate water introduced into the solution generator reservoir until a solution having a target concentration of the chemical being dissolved is achieved. The recirculation circuit may include a recirculation line having an outlet aimed at the bottom wall of the solid chemical reservoir.

The invention relates to apparatus and a process for mixing a gas/vapour with a process liquid comprising a material and a carrier liquid. The apparatus comprises a passage (10) of polygonal cross section having an inlet (14), an outlet (16) for a process liquid comprising the material, and a nozzle (24) for introducing supersonic gas/vapour at a mixing zone (42) in a single plane.
