Described herein is a mixing apparatus for mixing a non-homogenized food product contained within a container. The apparatus includes a housing including a first end wall, a second end wall, and a top wall that at least partially define a cavity of the housing. The apparatus also includes a pair of rollers extending from the first end wall to the second end wall and coupled to the housing such that each roller is rotatable relative to the housing. The apparatus also includes a motor positioned in the cavity and enclosed within the housing, the motor operatively coupled to a first roller of the pair of rollers and configured to drive the first roller to rotate for rotating the container, and a battery positioned in the cavity and enclosed within the housing, the battery operatively coupled to the motor to provide power thereto to drive the first roller.

A method for mixing liquids using an automated liquid handling system includes: aspirating liquid volumes of a first liquid and a second liquid from alternating ones of a first liquid supply and a second liquid supply into a mixing volume such that the aspirated liquid volumes form a liquid stack including a series of alternating, interfacing layers of the first and second liquids in the mixing volume; permitting the interfacing layers of the first and second liquids to mix with one another by diffusion in the mixing volume to form a mixture liquid; and dispensing the mixture liquid from the mixing volume.

A material mixing and supplying system is provided. The material mixing and supplying system includes a feeding module, at least three mixing and supplying barrels, a supply module, and a control unit, wherein the three mixing and supplying barrels are capable of mixing and supplying the mixed material. The supplying time of the mixed material is greater than a sum of the feeding time and the mixing time. A total operation number of the at least three mixing and supplying barrels is determined by a set amount of mixed material to be supplied by the material mixing and supplying system, and a total time to finish supplying the set amount of mixed material is determined by the total operation number.

The motor is operatively coupleable to a power source to drive the first roller of the pair of rollers.

The present invention provides an ultrafine bubble-containing liquid producing apparatus capable of reducing the possibility of intermitting supply of a UFB-containing liquid. An ultrafine bubble-containing liquid producing apparatus includes producing units that produce an ultrafine bubble-containing liquid containing ultrafine bubbles by using a liquid supplied from a liquid introducing unit and deliver the produced ultrafine bubble-containing liquid to a liquid delivering unit. The producing units include a plurality of ultrafine bubble generating units capable of operating independently. Each of the plurality of ultrafine bubble generating units is provided to be capable of independently switching between communicating with and being disconnected from the liquid introducing unit and the liquid delivering unit.

A surgical system including a surgical tool and a navigation system for tracking the position of the surgical tool. The surgical tool comprising a housing including a variable speed motor and control module disposed within the housing. The navigation system comprising a navigation console in communication with the control module of the surgical tool, the navigation console may be configured to communicate instructions to the control module of the surgical tool based on the position of the surgical tool relative to a defined zone. The navigation console may be configured to deactivate the surgical tool based on the position of the surgical tool relative to the defined zone. The navigation console may also be configured to provide a user-selectable override option to allow continued operation of the surgical tool within the defined zone.

A “fluid mixer” device that automates the mixing of multiple fluids into a base liquid and the delivery of the mixed liquid according to user-specified parameters with automatic flush-out, full logging and reporting capabilities. The device is comprised of a plurality of modules, each of which is designed for a different environmental setting: (a) the control module, the module with which the user interfaces, is normally located in a dry area, away from both line voltage electricity and fluids; (b) the power module, which supplies power to all modules, is located near 110V-230V single phase line voltage, and thus contains all of the high-voltage gear and interfaces; and (c) the flow module, the bank of controlled liquid mixers, is located in the wet area and uses only low-voltage direct current in its operation.

A computer-implemented method for execution by a processor of a computing device. The method comprises implementing a computerized graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a user of the computing device with an opportunity to identify a pharmaceutical compounding formula; consulting a database at least partly on a basis of the identified pharmaceutical compounding formula in order to determine mixing parameters for a planetary mixer, associated with the identified pharmaceutical compounding formula; and causing a mixer to subject a container to superimposed rotation and revolution movements in accordance with the mixing parameters determined from consulting the database.

Systems and methods that implement a GUI functional block that allows a user to specify a compounding formula for a composition, an ingredient validation functional block configured for receiving a code on a container holding a first ingredient, consulting a database to derive a formulation ingredient to be used in preparing the composition, determining if the first ingredient matches the formulation ingredient, a planetary mixer control functional block configured for consulting the database arrangement at least partly on a basis of the specified compounding formula to determine mixing parameters for a planetary mixer that are associated with the specified compounding formula, causing a motor assembly of the planetary mixer to apply superimposed rotation and revolution movements to a container in accordance with the mixing parameters determined from the consulting, preventing operation of the motor assembly if the determining step fails to match the first ingredient to the formulation ingredient.

A cannabis preparation mixer includes a processor, electrically coupled with each of a weighing system, a heating system, a mixing system, and a user interface within a main housing. The processor receives input from the weighing system and the user interface and transmits instructions to the heating system and the mixing system to heat and mix a mixture according to a predetermined pattern selected based upon a weight of herbs sensed at the weighing system. A heating system includes a heat plate that sits on top of a heating element which sits on top of the insulation pad. A mixing system includes a magnetic motor with a magnetic stirrer and wireless temperature probe that rotates above the magnetic motor, the magnetic stirrer having a wireless temperature probe therein. The user interface receives input from a user to identify user preferences and settings.
