A dispensing system includes a device having a body extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite proximal and distal ends. The body includes a proximal chamber, a distal chamber and a wall between the chambers. The body includes a first port in communication with the proximal chamber and a second port in communication with the distal chamber. A shaft is movably positioned within the body. The shaft extending through the wall and comprising a proximal plunger positioned within the proximal chamber and a distal plunger positioned within the distal chamber. Wherein pressure introduced through an opening in the proximal end moves the shaft such that the proximal plunger moves a material within the proximal chamber out of the first port and the distal plunger moves a material within the distal chamber out of the second port. Kits and methods of use are disclosed.

A variegator and a process for using it. The variegator permits the manufacturer to obtain desirable patterns of distribution of sauce and chunks in frozen confections while at the same time permitting fast cleaning-in-place times to minimize factory downtime. The variegator comprises a) one or more conduits, each suitable for feeding a base frozen confection to a first opening or set of openings into a chamber, b) one or more conduits suitable for feeding a fluid variegating material such as a sauce through a second openings or set of openings at a level below the first set into the chamber below the base frozen confection opening, and c) a static mixer below the variegating material opening, the static mixer comprising at least two baffles.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5.sup.th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system includes receiving configuration information regarding a random access channel (RACH) from a base station, and transmitting a RACH preamble based on the configuration information. The configuration information includes information indicating the number of RACH transmission occasions in a frequency axis. A terminal includes a processor configured to receive configuration information regarding a RACH from a base station, and transmit a RACH preamble according to the configuration information, wherein the configuration information includes information indicating the number of RACH transmission occasions in a frequency axis.

A static mixer is disclosed. The static mixer comprises a housing (22) defining an internal mixing cavity (36) that longitudinally extends along a central axis between an inlet (38) and an outlet (40) and is adapted for axial flow of a fluid therethrough. The static mixer also comprises a mixing element (42) disposed within the mixing cavity (36). The mixing element (42) is configured to be free from an impingement surface oriented substantially perpendicular to a main direction of fluid flow through the internal mixing cavity (36). The mixing element (42) comprises an elongated mixing blade that is oriented longitudinally within the mixing cavity (36) and comprises a nose axially oriented toward the inlet (38). The static mixer may comprise a heat-exchanging jacket integrally formed with the housing (22). An additive manufacturing system comprising the static mixer, and methods of making and using the same, are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a method for producing a beverage in portions, wherein a beverage concentrate portion is mixed with a water portion, said water portion being mixed with carbon dioxide prior to being mixed with the beverage concentrate. The invention additionally relates to a device for producing a beverage in portions, wherein a beverage concentrate portion is mixed with a water portion, said water portion being mixed with carbon dioxide in a static mixer prior to being mixed with the beverage concentrate.

A mixer including a first inlet channel, a second inlet channel, and a first dividing wall positioned between the first inlet channel and the second inlet channel. The first dividing wall radially extending from a centerline. The first inlet channel directs material away from the centerline and the second inlet channel directs material toward the centerline.

A multi-component fluid mixing device for mixing two or more fluids which can be used with an applicator tool, such as a spray gun. The mixing device is used with a removable cartridge that is pressure fitted into the body of the mixing device using an actuation mechanism that elevates a cartridge engagement base to create a fluid-tight seal.

A manifold having a first side, a second side, a first channel extending from the first side to the second side, and a second channel extending from the first side to the second side is disclosed. The first channel and the second channel each define a linear longitudinal axis. In one embodiment, the first channel longitudinal axis and the second channel longitudinal axis are oblique to the first side and the second side of the manifold. The manifold of the present disclosure provides channels that can be easily cleaned and allow for an increased flow performance.

A dispensing system (2000), includes a container (900) containing a flowable base formulation (910) to be dispensed, an additive mixing device (2004), and an actuable pump engine (2002) which draws the flowable base formulation from the container and pumps it through the mixing device. The additive mixing device includes a body (2022) with an internal cavity (2052), an additive ingredient (2054) within the cavity, and a flow path/mixing chamber (2058) between an input and an output. With each pump of the device (2004) the additive ingredient is introduced into, and mixed with, a flow of the base formulation traveling through the mixing device. Multiple additive mixing devices (2004) may be interchangeable for different formulations, and the mixing devices may be refillable.
