The present invention comprises an ultrasound stirring device. The ultrasound stirring device includes an inner container body configured for accommodating solution, an outer container body accommodating the inner container body, an ultrasound generator located between the inner container body and the outer container body, a mounting base located a side of the outer container body far away from the inner container body and configured for supporting the outer container body, a first circuit board including a control circuit configured for controlling the ultrasound generator generate ultrasound to stir the solution, and a battery configured for supplying the first circuit board.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an agitating device which can be shaken to agitate, whip, froth and disperse the liquid material content.

There is provided a device for mixing liquid material comprising: a container containing liquid material; an opening-closing member formed on the top of said container; and a coil spring accommodated in said container and having an end fixed on the upper part of said container so as to be vibrable and oscillable. The coil spring has a smaller coil pitch in its lowest part than that in its upper part.

A beverage nucleation device includes a housing, a beverage receiving area defined by the housing for receiving a beverage container containing a supercooled beverage, and a support configured to support the beverage container in an upright orientation in the beverage container receiving area. The beverage nucleation device may further include an applicator configured to contact a sidewall of the beverage container on the support, wherein the applicator includes an elastomeric material. An ultrasonic transducer of the beverage nucleation device is configured to generate and apply ultrasonic energy to the beverage container via the applicator so as to cause nucleation of the supercooled beverage.

A blending appliance in accordance with the principals of the present invention includes a linear motor drive comprising a magnet structure secured to a reaction mass and a coil structure secured to a shaker platen, the shaker platen adapted to secure a blending cup. A third mass is secured to the reaction mass via at least one biasing member. A ground is secured to the third mass via at least one biasing member. The shaker platen is secured to the reaction mass via at least one biasing member. The magnet structure and coil structure impart a force to the reaction mass and the shaker platen, which force is driven by the biasing members and the masses of the shaker platen, the reaction mass, and the third mass into resonance, thereby maximizing payload amplitude, minimizing forces transmitted to ground, and minimizing driver amplitude. The smoothie blending cup comprising structure to generate at least two forces applied upon the smoothie ingredients, the forces selected from the group consisting of pulverizing force, shear force, rotational-kinetic energy force, radial-kinetic energy force, and combinations thereof. The smoothie blending cup and cap can be sealed with the beverage ingredients contained therein at the point of manufacture.
