Abstract:
An apparatus for the storage of a plurality of components designed for joint use includes two separate oppositely disposed storage regions for the respective components with a separating film between the storage regions. Each storage region is connected to separate discharge passages which open into a common mixing passage A kinking site is arranged between the storage regions and the first and second discharge passages and parting elements are provided to cut through the film to open each respective storage region to a respective discharge passage upon flexing of the apparatus about the kinking site.
Abstract:
Concentrated liquid flavorings and methods of preparing flavored beverages using the concentrated liquid flavorings are described herein. The concentrated liquid flavorings are shelf stable for prolonged storage times at ambient temperatures. Shelf stability is provided, at least in part, by acidic pH and/or reduced water activity. By one approach, the concentrated liquid flavorings are intended to provide flavor to a beverage, such as coffee, tea, milk, or other savory beverage. The concentrated liquid flavorings may be provided in a convenient portable and dosable format that can be easily used by a consumer to provide the desired flavor and amount of flavor to a beverage.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a chemical reaction cartridge including an elastic body as a construction material and a flow path and two or more chambers connected by the flow path formed inside the cartridge, and the cartridge is structured so as to move or block a fluid substance in the flow path or the chambers by partially sealing the flow path, the chambers or both the flow path and the chambers by applying external force to the elastic body from outside, as the chambers, the cartridge has two or more mixing chambers each of which is to contain a mixture in a fluid state and the cartridge has two or more ingredient chambers provided for each of the mixing chambers by being connected with the flow path, in each of which an ingredient of the mixture divided in an amount according to a mixing ratio is to be contained.
Abstract:
A method of creating color solution, comprises the steps of: receiving color shade solution values corresponding to respective color shade solutions and color shade quantity values corresponding to respective amounts of said respective color shade solutions; mapping each of said received color shade solution values to respective locations where said respective color shade solutions are stored; and releasing into a mixing container said respective color shade solutions in said respective amounts. An apparatus is capable of performing the above steps.
Abstract:
A dispenser includes a body defining an internal volume and an opening that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body. A first tubular member extends through the opening. A length of the first tubular member is greater than or equal to about 150% of a height of the body. In response to squeezing the body, a composition in the internal volume flows out of the body through the opening and into the first tubular member.
Abstract:
A container with two inner chambers (6, 7) running in its longitudinal direction and separated by at least one partition wall. An aerobic adhesive is stored in one inner chamber (6). A hydrophilic, gel-like activator is stored in the other inner chamber (7); a mixing unit can be attached to the front end of the container. The aerobic adhesive is fed to the mixing unit from the first inner chamber (6), and the hydrophilic activator is fed to the mixing unit from the second inner chamber (7), in a specified mixing ratio via a supply device and mixed together there. This mixture is discharged via an outlet opening (13) of the mixing unit.
Abstract:
A colorant fluid dispensing system (1) for dispensing multiple colorant fluids, wherein the dispensing system includes more than one fluid holder (3) for holding a colorant fluid, a dispensing device (4) for dispensing the colorant fluids held by the fluid holders out of a system outlet (5), wherein the dispensing system (4) includes a weight measuring device constructed and arranged to measure weight changes of the fluid holder during the dispensing of the colorant fluid from the fluid holder, and the fluid holder is constructed and arranged to drive the colorant fluid out of the fluid holder.
Abstract:
An apparatus for mixing at least two flowable components having a mixer housing with an outlet opening. At least one mixing element arranged in the mixer housing having at least two separate inlet passages through which the flowable components can be introduced separately from one another. Each inlet passage is capable of being in sealing cooperation with a respective outlet passage of a storage container or a chamber. At least one of the inlet passages has an end configured to cooperate with the outlet passage as a piercing element for opening a flow connection between the storage container or the chamber and the inlet passage. The piercing element includes at least two inflow areas for the flowable components, with the two inflow areas being inclined relative to one another. A dispensing apparatus having such a mixer is furthermore provided.
Abstract:
A multi-reservoir dispensing, disposable and sterile container has at least two separate and distinct reservoirs positioned adjacent to one another, and which can be readily manufactured using blow-fill-seal technology. The reservoirs contain components of a mixed pharmaceutical formulation, which is prepared at the time of dispensing from the container by blending of the contents of the reservoirs. Liquid flow channels extend from each reservoir and merge together at or near an exit aperture of the container, and a mixing feature can be employed at or downstream of the point of merging. In the container as provided to a user the exit aperture is blocked by a seal, which is removed prior to dispensing.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for locally producing a solution using a concentrate. In a localized solution production unit, a solution is identified in association with the concentrate. A mixing profile is selected from among a plurality of mixing profiles based on the solution identified. A base fluid is dispensed into a mixing container docked in a container dock. The mixing container includes a mixing impeller rotatably coupled to the mixing container via an impeller shaft extending from a base of the mixing container. A controller actuates an actuator in the container dock to cause an impeller to in the mixing container to rotate. The concentrate is dispensed into the mixing container and mixed with the base fluid via the impeller based on the selected mixing profile.
