A portable foam brush includes a soap reservoir, such as optionally in a base or in a wand, a foaming chamber, and an air compressor, such as optionally battery-operated air compressor. The compressor is configured for supplying air to act upon the soap from the reservoir to cause dispensing of soap to the foaming chamber. In some embodiments, the compressor may also supply air to the foaming chamber. In use, the soap and the air in the foaming chamber combine to form an air and soap foam. The brush includes a brush end configured for receiving foam from the foaming chamber and dispensing the foam.

The present invention generally relates to droplet libraries and to systems and methods for the formation of libraries of droplets. The present invention also relates to methods utilizing these droplet libraries in various biological, chemical, or diagnostic assays.

The invention generally relates to methods for quantifying an amount of enzyme molecules. Systems and methods of the invention are provided for measuring an amount of target by forming a plurality of fluid partitions, a subset of which include the target, performing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the subset, and detecting the number of partitions in the subset. The amount of target can be determined based on the detected number.

The invention relates to a system for hygienically reconstituting and delivering food preparations, such as drinks, comprising a metering and mixing device connected to a container containing a base liquid, in the form of a package configured to be connected to a base station. The metering and mixing device comprises a pump for metering the liquid, a diluent intake and a mixing chamber. Coupling means are provided for providing the diluent supply and the means for driving the liquid pump.

The present document discloses a gas inlet device (21, 21a-21k) for use in a reactor for gas treatment of a substrate. The gas inlet device comprises an inlet niche having a back wall (233), and a side wall (234, 235) extending in a downstream direction (F) from the back wall (233) towards an inlet niche opening (212), an impingement surface (243), a gas orifice (210), which is configured to direct a gas flow towards the impingement surface (243), and a taper surface (244, 245), extending downstream of the impingement surface (243), such that a flow gap (213) having, along the downstream direction (F), gradually increasing cross sectional area, is formed between the side wall (234, 235) and the taper surface (244, 245).

The document further discloses a mixing device, a gas outlet device a reactor and the use of such reactor.

The present invention discloses a system, method and non-transitory software based computer writeable medium usable with a processor driven device for incentivizing service providers. A predictive algorithm which includes a series of protocols including a first protocol or subroutine for establishing a risk profile through stratifying a designated ACO population. A second subroutine operates by training the ACO doctors or other care providers in one or more of a series of medical related diagnosis and treatment programs. A third successive subroutine establishes one or more management pathways which are customizable by the ACO leadership and through establishing a questioning protocol for modifying/customizing the base algorithm for any one or more of a variety of treatment sub-species. A fourth subroutine provides care provider (e.g. doctor) feedback on the desired best practices for the given diagnosis and treatment sub-species resulting from the question and answer protocol achieved in the third subroutine. A fifth subroutine results in the creation (again by the ACO or other provider) of a scorecard for each individual care provider (doctor, therapist, etc.), such based primarily upon patient outcome assessment and accounting for patient complexities.

An apparatus for generating one or several droplets of a first liquid in a second liquid immiscible with the first liquid includes a rotational body and a drive apparatus. The rotational body includes a fluid chamber, a fluid channel and a transition area. The transition area includes a first expansion area and a second expansion area. The drive apparatus is configured to provide the rotational body with such a rotation that the first liquid is supplied centrifugally to the fluid chamber and that centrifugally hydrodynamically induced pressure and lifting forces are caused due to the second expansion area, which cause a droplet break-off in the first liquid, such that a droplet of the first liquid embedded in the second liquid is generated.

A vehicle exhaust system includes an upstream exhaust component comprising at least a first catalyst having a first outer dimension, a downstream exhaust component comprising at least a second catalyst having a second outer dimension, and a mixer that connects the upstream and downstream exhaust components. The mixer comprises a first portion associated with an outlet from the first catalyst and a second portion associated with an inlet to the second catalyst. The first portion includes a swirl component having a first length and the second portion includes an additional component having a second length. A connection interface between the first and second portions allows the upstream and downstream exhaust components to be arranged in different positions relative to each other. A combined length of the first and second lengths is adjusted relative to the first and second outer dimensions to achieve a desired position of the upstream and downstream exhaust components relative to each other.

A gas mixing device for linearizing or calibrating a gas analyzer. The gas mixing device includes a first gas inlet line for a first gas, a second gas inlet line for a second gas, a mixing channel having inlet openings which are arranged one behind the other in a flow direction, the inlet openings comprising a first upstream inlet opening and a second downstream inlet opening, and at least two valves which each comprise at least one inlet and one outlet. The at least two valves release or block a fluidic connection between at least one of the first gas inlet line and the second gas inlet line, and the mixing channel via the inlet openings. A flow cross section of the mixing channel is smaller at the first upstream inlet opening than at the second downstream inlet opening.
