The galley insert beverage making system also comprises a pitcher system. The pitcher system comprises: a pitcher; a blending element configured to be rotationally driven by the motor; and a stirring element configured to be rotationally driven by the motor. The body defines a cavity configured to receive the pitcher, and the system is configured such that the cooling system cools the pitcher.

In a method for producing an oil-in-water emulsion, a jet of an oil-in-water pre-emulsion (L1) containing an oil phase dispersed in a first aqueous phase is added to a second aqueous phase (L2).

The present invention is a composting bioreactor system that continually receives biodegradable solid wastes, waste waters and exhaust gases, automatically recycles the biodegradable wastes into nutrients and heat energy, and automatically supplies the nutrients and heat into an integrated hydroponic or aquaponic system. This invention together with integrated food growing system may be installed onsite such as balconies, backyards and premises of restaurants and food factories etc. therefore may lead to zero mileage targets both for recycling wastes and for supplying foods. This invention integrates composting process and aquaponic technology together and may establish a closed-loop recirculation of both water and gases therefore upgrades aquaponics into compoponics. A compoponic system has both soil and soilless growing beds and mimics nature recirculating nutrients, carbon and energy among human being, animals, microorganisms and plants by way of photosynthesis, slow burning by cellular respiration and burning by combustion.

A reciprocating motion disk for mixing wastewater in a tank of a treatment plan is optimized for geometry, along with cycling speed and stroke length, to cause effective mixing velocity throughout the tank.

A reaction of a fluid in a reaction chamber is satisfactorily performed.

A fluid control method includes: generating, in a reaction chamber (84) formed between an outer cylinder (61) and an inner cylinder (70) coaxially disposed in the outer cylinder (61), a reaction phase (30) having a ring shape and formed of a reaction target fluid (F1, F2) in which a Taylor vortex (V1) is generated, the reaction phases (30) arranged in an axis (R) direction, and an inhibiting phase (31) having a ring shape that is adjacent to the reaction phase (30) in the axis (R) direction and inhibits the reaction target fluid (F1, F2) in the reaction phase (30) from flowing out to an outside of the reaction phase (30).

A slurry intended for forming a protective layer for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes an inorganic oxide filler, a binding material, and a solvent. A method of producing the slurry comprises a step that involves obtaining a dispersion by dispersing the inorganic oxide filler in the solvent, and a step that involves mixing the dispersion with the binding material and stirring.

Compositions for the treatment of some orphan diseases and oral mucosal ulcers, many with similarities in terms of their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities, but also multiple differences in their observed abilities that can be combined to challenge the current, underlying pathophysiology. The orphan diseases of interest are Dupuytren's Contracture, Peyronie's Disease, Scleroderma, Raynaud's (or Renaud's) Phenomenon, chemotherapy/radiation induced oral mucosal ulceration, and aphthous ulcers; and more frequent skin issues of skin damage from cuts, abrasions, and burns; aging skin changes, and toe nail fungus. These can be treated with the disclosed compositions with the proper combination and alteration of ingredients:

A method is provided for monitoring a flow behavior of mixed components without requiring additional instrumentation or sampling. The method is carried out by determining ratios of the power required to rotate a mixing impeller at different rotational speeds and then comparing the ratios. Characteristics about the mixed components are determined based on differences between the ratios.

Shaker comprising a frame, a tray for receiving one or more samples and a drive for the tray, in which a tray shaft is mounted eccentrically in a drivable hollow shaft. The tray shaft is fixedly connected to the tray and secured against rotation relative to the frame.
