The mixer includes: a connector section configured to engage the mixer receptacle to couple the mixer to the motor; and a mixing section configured to mix ingredients in the container responsive to actuation of the motor.

The invention relates to a compact device for the automated preparation of scrambled eggs, with customizable settings for time (6), temperature (7) and speed (8) for different types of recipes and textures, consisting of a motor (2) that generates the movement of a working tool (3A; 3B) inside a non-stick container (4) coupled to a heating base (5).

Provided herein is a bioprocess mixer system, comprising: a mixer base assembly comprising: (a) a body having: (i) an upper end including a mating face for mixing vessel connection; (ii) a lower end including a cavity; (iii) a plurality of side walls, the plurality of side walls comprising a rounded side wall and a flat side wall; (iv) an inlet port arranged in one of the one or more side walls; (v) an outlet port arranged in one of the one or more side walls; (vi) at least one probe port arranged in one of the one or more side walls; and, (vii) a fluid mixing chamber having a bottom wall; (b) an impeller seat arranged in the cavity in the lower end of the body; and, (c) an impeller arranged in the impeller seat; and a mixer drive system comprising: (a) a drive system configured to drive the impeller; and (b) a housing containing the drive system, the housing comprising a locking mechanism configured to lock the mixer base assembly into an aligned position when connected to the housing. Also provided herein is a method of mixing a fluid using the system provided herein.

A tray configured to be provided on a base station of a bioreactor system, said tray comprising a bottom and surrounding side walls and being configured to hold a bioreactor bag, said bottom comprising at least two bottom parts, whereof one is a middle part of the bottom, wherein at least one of the bottom parts is movable into at least a first and a second position, wherein said first position provides the bottom parts substantially flush with each other providing a substantially plane bottom of the tray and said second position provides a bottom of the tray having a recessed middle part.

A portable warming blender includes a base assembly with a recessed portion; a temperature control system; a detachable agitator rotatably mounted on an axle extending longitudinally into the recessed portion; an electric motor; a rechargeable power system; and a controller. The base assembly includes a housing with a cylindrical sidewall, housing the motor, the power system, and the controller. An inner surface of the recessed portion is threaded. The temperature control system includes a temperature sensor and a heating element. The temperature sensor is mounted adjacent to the axle. The heating element heats the recessed portion. The motor is magnetically coupled with the agitator. The rechargeable power system includes a rechargeable battery and a charging port. The controller selectively transmits power to the temperature control system and the motor from the power system when an operating mode is selected. The blender warms, blends, or both in one device anywhere, anytime.

The present invention pertains in general to an apparatus and method for the drying and activating of infusing material, and the infusing, agitation and dispensation of oils in a controlled manner to produce a desired potency of an infusion while remaining below an identified maximum temperature threshold.

The present disclosure relates to a method for converting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide comprising: producing atomic oxygen, providing carbon dioxide to be converted, mixing the carbon dioxide with the atomic oxygen within a mixing area such that the atomic oxygen can interact with the carbon dioxide for forming carbon monoxide within the mixing area through a first CO producing reaction: C0.sub.2+0.fwdarw.C0+02, supplying the atomic oxygen into the mixing area at a first supply rate and supplying the carbon dioxide into the mixing area at a second supply rate, defining the first supply rate and the second supply rate such that a ratio between the first supply rate and the second supply rate remains within a pre-defined lower and upper threshold, and extracting carbon monoxide from the mixing area. The present disclosure also relates to an apparatus for converting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide.
