The platform includes customizable liquid generating recipes associated with the cubes that may be provided through a network or local database and a security feature that allows the authorization of users to generate and access controlled liquids.

The present invention is a liquid mixing device (10) in order to mix a first substance (601) which is in liquid form and a second substance (602) which is in powder or liquid form where said substances (601, 602) do not dissolve in each other, and comprising a mixing chamber (100) having an upper wall (110), a lower wall (120) provided against said upper wall (110), and side walls (130) provided to connect the lower wall (120) and the upper wall (110) in a manner defining a mixing volume (140). A piston (200) is provided between the lower wall (120) and the upper wall (110) in order to divide the mixing volume (140) into two as a first volume (141) and a second volume (142) for placement of said first substance (601) and/or said second substance (602); a piston arm (300) is provided for providing movement of said piston (200) at a first axis (610) between the lower wall (120) and the upper wall (110); at least one mixing throat (210) is provided for providing fluid transfer between the first volume (141) and the second volume (142) during movement of said piston (200) in the first axis (610).

A Fenton apparatus of the present disclosure includes a reactor vessel, gas injection inlets that allow ejection of aeration coolant perpendicular to axis of the reactor vessel to agitate a reaction composition present in the reactor vessel under vortex conditions, a jacket cooling loop encasing the reactor vessel to allow circulation of a jacket coolant selected from a group consisting of forced air, nitrogen gas, and water, a coil cooling loop coiling around the reactor vessel to allow circulation of a coil coolant selected from a group consisting of forced air, nitrogen gas, water, and carbon dioxide. Multiple programmable solenoid valves are provided to individually control injection of the aeration coolant, the jacket coolant, and the coil coolant. A controller is provided to communicate with a temperature sensor and each programmable solenoid valve.

In one aspect, new dispenser components for use with portable fluid dispensing apparatus are provided. The present systems can be used to administer to a user water and other fluids optionally together with one or more other ingestibles such as flavoring, or a health supplement. In another aspect, new rotor or disk units that may comprise one or more pods or packets that contain ingestible material(s). In a further aspect, one or more of such pods or packets that may comprise one or more ingestible materials.

The embodied invention is a low humidity generator which encapsulates essential piping, pressure regulator, flow regulator, and saturator in a sealed vacuum chamber. Additionally, a Stirling piston type cooler is used to cool the saturator. This eliminates atmospheric water vapor permeation and the need for thermal insulation surrounding the piping and control units. Also, the humidity generator has improved cool down characteristics, improved thermal control, and better maintenance access.

A production method can include flowing a heterogeneous fluid mixture into contact with a homogenizing cutting tool, measuring a fluid mixture temperature so as to obtain a measured fluid mixture temperature, and determining a target fluid mixture temperature. The fluid mixture can be frictionally heated so as to obtain a heated and homogenized fluid mixture by driving the cutting tool at a rate based on (i) the target fluid mixture temperature and (ii) the measured fluid mixture temperature. The heated and homogenized fluid mixture can be flowed away from the cutting tool.
