Abstract: A mixing device comprising a multi-element spring system in which an eccentric load, coupled to a rotor of a motor, is located towards a first end of a first beam realising a backbone for the mixing device. One or more connections interconnect the backbone respectively to one or more other beams to produce the multi-element spring system. A load, such as a vial or other container in which is located a diluent, is located remotely from the motor. As such, the spring system supports two independent but complementary eccentric load generating subsystems arising from, respectively, the controlled rotation of the rotor (and its eccentric load) and then, in response to rotation of the connected eccentric load on the rotor, swirling of the diluent in the vial/container. Both these eccentric loads contribute to a complex multidirectional flexing of the multi-element spring system relative to a fixed anchor point, with this multidirectional flexing working to induce a swirling motion in the contents of the container.

Abstract: A bioprocess container consists of a flexible container, placed inside a heat exchanger. By providing a disposable agitation device inside the sealed container, a filled container can be stirred without having to open the container. Possible agitation elements include traditional stirrers, rotating magnetic rods, bladder devices integral with the structure of the container, as well as different devices for manipulating the shape of the sealed container. Finally, a containment disk is used to ensure that the magnetic rod is maintained in the magnetic field.

Abstract: A mixing device of FIG. 1b comprises a multi-element spring system in which an eccentric load, coupled to a rotor of a motor, is located towards a first end of a first beam realising a backbone for the mixing device. One or more connections interconnect the backbone respectively to one or more other beams to produce the multi-element spring system. A load, such as a vial or other container in which is located a diluent, is located remotely from the motor. As such, the spring system supports two independent but complementary eccentric load generating subsystems arising from, respectively, the controlled rotation of the rotor (and its eccentric load) and then, in response to rotation of the connected eccentric load on the rotor, swirling of the diluent in the vial/container. Both these eccentric loads contribute to a complex multidirectional flexing of the multi-element spring system [relative to a fixed anchor point], with this multidirectional flexing working to induce a swirling motion in the contents of the container.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to enable smartphones and computer tablet devices to communicate with interactive devices, using a selected area of the emissive display of the smart device coupled to one or more optical guides 1. Additionally the enabled optical communication allows smart devices to indicate their position, identity and orientation 3 relative to a receiving device. The enabled optical communication further allows a smart device to communicate with simple electromechanical structures 11 which are adapted to receive, resolve and transmit such compatible optical data. The enabled smart device may further permit additional user input means wherein selected areas of the emissive display of the smart device are redirected by optical structures which may be switchable by deflection of the light guide or a physical interruption 12 of the optical signal along the path to and prior to detection by the same smart device's photodetector or camera.

Abstract: Interactive blocks (12, 212) that present changeable individual characterizations (118) and sensory output based on meaningful assemblage of sensed individual characterizations from similar juxtaposed blocks (12, 212) are configured to record their interactions to produce an historic log or both successful interactions that yield a sensory output or failed interactions that produce no logical or meaningful sensory event. Uploading of the historical log (158) permits automated computational assessment of all interactions, with a centralized computing resource dynamically arranged to cause selective download of new content and/or new operating instructions to one or more of the interactive blocks (12, 212) based of identification of trends in the historical record. The new content and operating instructions modifies operation of cooperating blocks to produce different, processor controlled individual characterizations an/or sensory outputs that reinforce learning or identified mistakes arising from inappropriate manipulation of the interactive blocks. The interactive blocks (12, 212) can be realized as physical entities or otherwise in a virtual screen environment, with the sensory output being visual, audible and/or a haptic response.
