A viscous liquid supply apparatus includes a storage tank (10) that stores viscous liquid, and a pump (14) that supplies the viscous liquid stored in the storage tank to a use point, wherein the viscous liquid supply apparatus is configured with a viscometer (20) that measures a viscosity of the viscous liquid stored in the storage tank, and a replenishment device (30) that supplies replenishment liquid to the storage tank based on the viscosity measured with the viscometer. The viscometer (20) is a rotary type viscometer that has a rotor (23) in a cylindrical shape wherein the rotor is immersed in the viscous liquid and rotates therein, and the rotor is configured with a stirring blade that agitates the viscous liquid inside the storage tank (10).

A stirrer includes a shaft, and a plurality of stirring blades mounted on the shaft along a longitudinal direction of the shaft. The stirrer is configured to stir molten glass in a stirring vessel by causing the plurality of stirring blades to turn about the shaft in association with rotation of the shaft. The plurality of stirring blades (blade bodies) each have a through opening and a distal end portion extending along the longitudinal direction of the shaft. The plurality of stirring blades are mounted on the shaft so that, when the plurality of stirring blades turn about the shaft, the stirring blades that are closer to one end side of the shaft are delayed in phase around the shaft with respect to the stirring blades on another end side of the shaft.

A method of operating a crystallizing vessel assembly, said vessel assembly having a crystallizing vessel, and a rotor comprising a rotor shaft, said rotor including a plurality of rotor arms, said rotor arms having arms attached to the rotor shaft and scrapers attached at the arms. The crystals are grown on the inside of the vessel and the rotor is rotated to scrape said crystals off. To improve liquid flow inside the crystallizing vessel, a plurality of arms of the rotor arms are hollow arms, each arm of the plurality of arms including an inlet opening that is relatively close to the shaft and an outlet opening that is relatively far from the shaft.

An apparatus for mixing bone cement for use in orthopedic surgeries includes a mixing region and an agitator for mixing the cement ingredients. The apparatus can be operated or acted on by a power tool for the mixing of the bone cement. The agitator may act as a generator to charge embedded electronics of the apparatus such as with a magnet in the agitator that interacts with a wire coil outside of the agitator. A timer of the apparatus may be started by a sensor of the apparatus, in response to a mechanical torque value, or by a magnetic sensor that can sense a start state of the apparatus. When the timer is complete, a cue by the apparatus signals to the user that the mixed cement is ready and able to be applied.

A Cannabis trichome separator. At least one storage vessels are provided, each vessel having an open top and adapted to receive a plant material and chilled or ice water mixture. A mechanism for agitating the mixture is also provided. Another mechanism raises, lowers, and pivots the agitating mechanism, so the agitating mechanism can be placed over the open top of each of the at least one storage vessels. The mixture can be agitated in each of the storage vessels, seriatim. Also disclosed is a method for processing raw plant material. A plant material and chilled or ice water is introduced into each of at least one storage vessels. The agitating mechanism agitates the mixture in a first of the storage vessels, pivoting the agitating mechanism from a first position to a second position, and agitating the mixture in subsequent storage vessels, seriatim.

A mixer includes an eccentric drive mounted on a mixing head of the mixer and configured to orbit around a central axis of a mixing area and rotate an offset rotational axis of a drive shaft about the central axis of the mixing area. A dual whisk beater attachment includes a housing operably coupled to the eccentric drive, a first whisk rotatably mounted within the housing and operably coupled to the drive shaft of the eccentric drive of the mixer, and a second whisk rotatably mounted within the housing and operably coupled to the drive shaft of the eccentric drive of the mixer via a plurality of gears disposed within the housing. The first whisk is configured to rotate about a first whisk rotational axis and orbit the central axis of a mixing area, and the second whisk is configured to rotate about a second whisk rotational axis.

A mixer for combining food constituents into a homogeneous mass includes an eccentric drive mounted on a mixing head of the mixer, where the eccentric drive is configured to rotate around a central axis of a mixing area and rotate an offset rotational axis of a drive shaft in an orbit about the central axis of the mixing area. An angled beater attachment for the mixer further includes a top mounting portion operably coupled to the drive shaft of the stand mixer, a bottom beater portion disposed above the mixing area, and a beater support member operably coupled with a support shaft of the bottom beater portion. The bottom beater portion is driven by the drive shaft about an angled rotational axis that extends at an acute angle relative to the central axis of the mixing area.

An apparatus for nitrogenizing a beverage utilizing a container having a chamber with a plurality of baffles. The container also includes a nitrogen regulator in the form of a collapsible orifice at the base of the container. An agitator in the form of an impeller creates a shear on the beverage during delivery of a stream of nitrogen into the container.

An aspect of the invention discloses a system for making lather in a cup, comprising a cup comprising an impeller and a heater in said cup and a base for said cup having a power source configured to provide power to said impeller and to said heater.
