Presented and described herein is a stroke system (1) for dosing a fluid from a container (3), comprising a piston pump (5) with a piston (7), so that a fluid can be dosed from a container (3) by displacement of the piston (7), and a temperature control device (29) for controlling the temperature of the fluid to be dosed by means of the stroke system (1).
SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL WATER OXYGENATION
A system for agricultural irrigation water oxygenation for enriching soil oxygen level comprises a source of compressed oxygen (and not compressed air) coupled to a water line feeding an irrigation system, such as a drip irrigation system. The coupling system may include a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure in the water line, a solenoid safety valve, a control valve, a flow meter and a controller that controls the flow of oxygen from the source of compressed liquid oxygen to the water line using the components of the coupling system, without using a special cavitation valve and using off-the-shelf components while achieving the same benefits as a system incorporating the special cavitation valve.
LIQUID DISPENSING PUMP AND LIQUID DISPENSING DEVICE
A liquid dispensing pump (10) comprises: a first liquid storage cylinder (11), a second liquid storage cylinder (12), a first plunger (13) movably connected to the first liquid storage cylinder (11), a second plunger (14) movably connected to the second liquid storage cylinder (12), and a drive assembly (15) connected to the first plunger (13) and the second plunger (14). The first liquid storage cylinder (11) is provided with a first liquid entry and exit port (111). The second liquid storage cylinder (12) is provided with a second liquid entry and exit port (121). One end of the first plunger (13) is inserted into an internal cavity of the first liquid storage cylinder (11). One end of the second plunger (14) is inserted into an internal cavity of the second liquid storage cylinder (12). Further provided is a liquid dispensing device (100). The advantageous effect of the invention is: during each linear reciprocating movement cycle of the first plunger (13) and the second plunger (14), the first liquid storage cylinder (11) and the second liquid storage cylinder (12) discharge corresponding ingredients according to a pre-determined mixing ratio, and a mixed solution according to the pre-determined mixing ratio is obtained, thereby achieving precise mixing of different ingredients. In addition, the dispensing pump (10) discharges ingredients at a consistent ratio, thereby achieving uniform mixing without a dedicated mixer.
PROPPANT CONCENTRATION ACCURACY IN A FRACTURING FLUID BY COMPENSATING FOR PROPPANT MOISTURE
A method of determining a dry proppant concentration in a fracturing fluid includes combining a wet proppant with a carrier fluid in a mixer to form the fracturing fluid. The dry proppant concentration of the fracturing fluid leaving the mixer is determined using a moisture content of the wet proppant entering the mixer, wherein use of the moisture content prevents overestimation of the dry proppant concentration. The method can be preformed using a system for injecting fracturing fluid into a borehole, the fracturing fluid including a carrier fluid mixed with a wet proppant including a dry proppant dampened with a dampening liquid. The system includes a mixer operable to receive and mix the carrier fluid and the wet proppant to form the fracturing fluid, a frac pump operable to inject the fracturing fluid into the borehole, and a control system comprising a processor operable to receive a moisture content of the wet proppant before being mixed with the carrier fluid and programmed to determine a dry proppant concentration of the fracturing fluid formed in the mixer using a moisture content of the wet proppant, wherein use of the moisture content prevents overestimation of the dry proppant concentration.

PORTABLE PREPARATION ASSEMBLY AND METHOD TO PREPARE LIQUID COSMETIC/CLEANSER PRODUCTS
A portable preparation assembly to prepare liquid cosmetic/cleanser products in a personalised way has a container which is configured to contain a solvent liquid and includes a base wall, a lateral wall and an upper opening opposite to the base wall; a housing seat configured to house a solid cosmetic/cleanser and arranged at least partially inside the container; and a stirring device which is configured to stir the solvent liquid in the container so as to determine at least partial dissolution of the solid cosmetic/cleanser in the solvent liquid and mix the dissolved solid cosmetic/cleanser with the solvent liquid to obtain the liquid cosmetic/cleanser product.
Gas mixing system
Provided herein are gas mixing systems, comprising a gas inlet for receiving two or more gases and a mixing chamber with a static mixer for mixing the gases. Preferred mixing chambers further comprise a reduced pressure compartment downstream of the static mixer that is in fluid communication with the gas inlet. A gas outlet is in fluid communication with the mixing chamber, and one or more sensors are coupled to the reduced pressure compartment and are configured to continuously sense various parameters such as barometric pressure and the percentage of oxygen in the gas mixture moving through the mixing device. Most typically, the readings of the sensor are pre-compensated for temperature, pressure, and humidity. Also provided herein are methods for using the same.
