A method of mixing a rubber composition includes a carbon introduction step and a uniform dispersion step. In the carbon introduction step, on the basis of a deviation between a rate of temperature increase of the rubber mixture (R) and a target value, at least one of a ram pressure (Pr) and a rotational speed (N) of the mixing rotor (2) is PID controlled so that the ultimate temperature of the rubber mixture (R) at the conclusion of the step is within a tolerance range. In the uniform dispersion step, the ram pressure (Pr) or the rotational speed (N) of the mixing rotor (2) is adjusted to reduce a deviation between a value based on successively detected data associated with a predetermined control target and a target value.

The invention provides the following advantages: the present invention provides a quantum dot polarizer and manufacturing method thereof. The quantum dot polarizer comprises a first protective layer and a second protective layer, and the first protective layer or the second protective layer being a complex film comprising quantum dots. As such, without increasing the thickness of display, the invention can improve color spectrum and transmittance, and is applicable to ultra-thin display devices at low cost. The manufacturing method adds the quantum dots to the cotton glue for forming protective layers by extension or coating process to obtain quantum dot protective layer used for quantum dot polarizer. As such, the invention can avoid humidity and oxygen affecting the quantum dots and reduce cost by eliminating manufacturing independent quantum dot element separately.

A battery paste mixer condensation assembly includes a duct, a condenser, a basin, and a pipe. The duct is in fluid communication with a battery paste mixer. Exiting gas from the battery paste mixer can travel through the duct. The condenser is situated downstream of the duct. The basin is situated near the condenser. Condensed liquid from the condenser is deposited in the basin. The pipe is in fluid communication with the basin and is in fluid communication with the battery paste mixer. Deposited liquid in the basin can travel from the basin and to the battery paste mixer by way of the pipe.

Systems and methods describe continuously and progressively hydrating material, such as food material for meat analogue products. First, material is provided to be conveyed through a material passage between an exterior tube and a rotating inner shaft, with the rotating inner shaft including one or more agitation and/or progression features. The progression features could be, e.g., a series of imbricated protruding filled paddles arranged in a helical pattern, while the agitation features could take the form of, e.g., unfilled hoops, hooks, or paddles. Concurrent to conveying and hydrating the material through the material passage, a number of lumps, clumps, and/or unhydrated pieces of the material are broken up via one or more agitation features configured to produce uniform hydration and consistent dispersal of the material. Also concurrently or subsequently, water is continuously and/or progressively provided to the material to produce hydrated material particles.

A microsphere cavity that forms a whispering gallery mode is used. By vibrationally coupling a whispering gallery mode being one of kinds of an optical mode to a vibrational mode of water or a liquid other than water, ultra strong coupling water or a liquid in a vibrational coupling state is generated. A first example is to acquire aerosol in which water itself or a liquid itself other than water constitutes a micro-water sphere cavity or a micro-liquid sphere cavity (50) and is a dispersoid. A second example is to acquire colloid or emulsion in which a micro-dielectric sphere cavity (53) is a dispersoid and water or a liquid other than water is a dispersion medium.

The invention relates to a container, wherein the container comprises a wall and a valve, wherein the wall defines an interior cavity, wherein the cavity has an adjustable volume, wherein the cavity contains a composition, wherein the composition comprises a nanomaterial, and wherein the volume of the composition is less than or equal to about 50 vol % of the maximum volume of the cavity.
