The invention relates to an apparatus for aerating a pasty product. The apparatus comprises a housing (1) with an inlet (4) for the pasty product to be aerated and an outlet (5) for the aerated product.

The apparatus comprises at least a first set of a rotor and a stator (21) and a second set of a rotor and a stator (22). The apparatus further comprises a gas injector (6) for injecting, upstream of the first set of a rotor and a stator (21), a gas into the pasty product to be aerated.

The apparatus further comprises an intermediate mixing chamber (7) provided in the housing between the first and the second sets of a rotor and a stator (21,22). A secondary product introduction means protrudes into the intermediate mixing chamber (7) so as to issue into said intermediate mixing chamber (7).

A method for aerating a pasty product is also provided.

An apparatus for providing a liquid component as a first starting component of a bone cement dough from two starting components, comprising a receptacle in which a tank containing the liquid component can be stored, an opening means for opening the tank, a reservoir, fluidically connected to the receptacle, for receiving the liquid component from the tank, at least one port for fluidically connecting the apparatus to a syringe in which a powder component can be stored as a second starting component of the bone cement dough, and at least one conducting means which fluidically connects the reservoir and the at least one port to one another.

A vortex flow inducer has inducer body with an interior end, an outer end and a length extending there between, and a longitudinal axis extending between the interior and the outer ends. A flow passage extends between the interior and outer ends of the inducer body. The flow passage has an inlet at the outer end and an exit at the interior end. The flow passage is swept latterly toward a side of the inducer body in a direction from the outer end toward the interior end such that the exit is latterly offset from the longitudinal axis. The interior end of the inducer body has a concave curvature. The swept flow passage and the curved interior end induce a vortex flow in a fluid flowing through the flow passage as it exits the flow passage and into a flow passage of a conduit the that extends at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the inducer body.

A sequential mixer for mixing a heated hydrocarbon stream and a supercritical fluid to produce an intimately mixed stream upstream of a supercritical reactor. The sequential mixer comprising a body having a body length and a body diameter; a hydrocarbon inlet physically connected to the body, having an inlet diameter, the heated hydrocarbon stream is introduced through the hydrocarbon inlet; a mixed stream outlet physically connected to the body and fluidly connected to the supercritical reactor, having an outlet diameter; a traversing axis extending through the center of the body from the hydrocarbon inlet to the mixed stream outlet; and a plurality of fluid ports physically connected to the body, the plurality of fluid ports are arranged in a port alignment arrayed along the traversing axis, each fluid port has a port diameter and a port angle, the supercritical fluid is injected through the plurality of fluid ports.

The present invention discloses a system, method and non-transitory software based computer writeable medium usable with a processor driven device for incentivizing service providers. A predictive algorithm which includes a series of protocols including a first protocol or subroutine for establishing a risk profile through stratifying a designated ACO population. A second subroutine operates by training the ACO doctors or other care providers in one or more of a series of medical related diagnosis and treatment programs. A third successive subroutine establishes one or more management pathways which are customizable by the ACO leadership and through establishing a questioning protocol for modifying/customizing the base algorithm for any one or more of a variety of treatment sub-species. A fourth subroutine provides care provider (e.g. doctor) feedback on the desired best practices for the given diagnosis and treatment sub-species resulting from the question and answer protocol achieved in the third subroutine. A fifth subroutine results in the creation (again by the ACO or other provider) of a scorecard for each individual care provider (doctor, therapist, etc.), such based primarily upon patient outcome assessment and accounting for patient complexities.

A system forms a cosmetic composition. The system includes a dispensing arrangement in selective fluid communication with a plurality of dispensing dosing receptacles mounted on a movable carousel. The dispensing arrangement is configured to selectively dispense a plurality of the booster compositions together with a base composition corresponding to a formulation corresponding to a compatibility profile and consumer skin conditions to form a stable composition having efficacious concentrations of active ingredients into a receiving receptacle.

A system for dispensing a biocompatible reactive formulation includes a first chamber containing a first fluid having a first reactive component, a second chamber containing a second fluid having a second reactive component, and a third chamber containing a third fluid. A spray tip assembly is configured for spraying a final mixture of the first, second and third fluids. The spray tip assembly has a spray tip housing, a mixing element disposed within the spray tip housing, a mixing chamber located between the mixing element and an inner surface of the spray tip housing. The mixing element has a proximal end adjacent the proximal end of the spray tip housing and a distal end adjacent the distal end of the spray tip housing, a third fluid inlet opening at the proximal end of the mixing element, and one or more third fluid exit openings formed in the outer surface of the mixing element that are in fluid communication with the third fluid inlet opening and that extend laterally to the outer surface of the mixing element for being in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. A fluid connector is secured to the proximal end of the spray tip housing and opposes the proximal end of the mixing element. The fluid connector has first and second fluid channels in fluid communication with the mixing chamber, and a third fluid channel in fluid communication with the third fluid inlet opening of the mixing element. A pump assembly is coupled with the first, second and third chambers for simultaneously forcing the first, second and third fluids to flow through the first, second and third fluid channels of the fluid connector and into the proximal end of the spray tip housing.
