Bone cement applicators and methods for application of a bone cement dough, the applicators and methods comprise a tubular cartridge with an internal space, a dispensing plunger for expelling the starting components through an opening of the cartridge opposite from the dispensing plunger, wherein the dispensing plunger is mobile in longitudinal direction in the internal space of the cartridge. The applicators and methods further comprise a hose, an application opening, a three-way valve operable from outside and arranged or arrangeable in the hose or on a side of the hose facing the cartridge, and a collecting container arranged on the three-way valve. The three-way valve is designed and arranged or arrangeable in the applicator such that it, being in a first position, provides a fluid connection between the application opening and the opening of the cartridge and closes a feed-through to the collecting container and, being in a second position, provides a fluid connection between the application opening and the collecting container and closes a passage to the opening of the cartridge.

A carbonized water dispensing device is provided with a carbonized water conditioning chamber, which conditioning chamber is provided downstream of the carbonator and upstream of the carbonized water dispensing outlet, for receiving a mixture of carbonized water mixed with unresolved CO.sub.2. The conditioning chamber is dimensioned to hold a single serve of carbonized water with a headspace, and which carbonized water conditioning chamber is provided with an outlet valve and a gas outlet. The carbonized water dispensing device is configured to, upon receiving a beverage dispensing order, provide the empty carbonized water conditioning chamber with a single serve volume of carbonized water, and hold the single serve of carbonized water prior to dispensing the single serve volume of carbonized water.

A nano-bubble generator includes: (i) a housing defining: an inlet for receiving a liquid with entrained macro-bubbles: a first chamber operatively downstream of the inlet; a second chamber operatively downstream of the first chamber; and an outlet operatively downstream of the second chamber; (ii) at least one blade disposed within the first chamber for, in use, cutting macro-bubbles entrained in the liquid to convert such macro-bubbles into micro-bubbles; (iii) at least one first magnet within the second chamber; and (iv) at least one second magnet associated with the second chamber, wherein: (a) the at least one first magnet and the at least one second magnet are arranged such that the polarity of the at least one first magnet is opposed to the polarity of the at least one second magnet; and (b) the at least one first magnet is movable relative to the at least one second magnet.

The disclosure relates to an atomizer for the application of a multi-component paint, with a master paint connection, a hardener connection, a mixer, a hardener line leading in the atomizer from the hardener connection to the mixer, a master paint line, which in the atomizer leads from the master paint connection to the mixer, and with a main valve for controlling the paint delivery, the main valve being arranged downstream of the mixer and controlling the flow of the multicomponent paint to an application element, in particular to a rotatable bell cup. The atomizer according to the disclosure is characterized by a first return connection for returning the multicomponent paint from the atomizer to a return system. For this purpose, the atomizer has a first return line which branches off in the atomizer between the mixer and the main valve and opens into the first return connection.

The invention provides a device for enhancing liquid-liquid emulsification. The device includes a jet part and a mixing part connected to the jet part. The jet part includes a feed tee for feeding major and dispersed phases, wherein the feed tee includes a first port, a second port, and a third port. The first port is used for feeding the major phase, and the second port is equipped with an ejector for feeding the dispersed phase. The ejector consists of an ejector housing and an ejector inlet section, as well as a spiral structure, a flow-guided structure, and an ejector pin structure that are connected sequentially. The mixing part includes a mixer comprising a cylindrical mixer shell, a mixer inlet section, a mixer outlet section, as well as a spiral section, a cavity section, and a variable diameter section for enhancing emulsion breakup and dispersion. A method for enhancing liquid-liquid emulsification is also disclosed.
