1. Technical Field
Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for dispensing a plurality of formulas volumetrically and gravimetrically using a controller having a memory that stores a plurality of formulas. The controller is linked to a plurality of pumps or conveyors, with each pump connected to a container holding one of the materials to be dispensed according to one of the formulas. The controller is also linked to a scale for measuring the amount of liquid or powder dispensed by its respective pump. The disclosed apparatuses and methods are applicable to liquid and powder ingredients.
2. Background of the Related Art
Multiple pump dispensing systems have been used in the paint industry. Specifically, such a dispensing system incorporating multiple pumps that dispense viscous fluids such as paint colorant from flexible packages is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,273,298, which is commonly owned with the present application. Typically, such systems include piston pumps mounted on a rotary turntable with each pump coupled to a flexible package containing a viscous fluid, such as a paint colorant. The turntable, pumps and packages mounted thereon, are rotated until the desired pump and package is disposed over the container to be filled. A control system is utilized to rotate the table and control the action of the pumps to control the amount of material dispensed from the packages by the pumps into the container. The linear type dispensing systems are also known.
Some currently available paint colorant dispensers utilize nutating pumps and a computer control system to control the nutating pumps. Nutating pumps have a piston which is positioned inside of a housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The piston simultaneously slides axially and rotates inside the housing. The dispense stroke or cycle can be broken down into a number of discreet steps or segments for extremely accurate volumetric dispenses. For example, a minimum dispense can be as little as 1/256 of a fluid ounce as illustrated in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,749,402, 6,540,486 and 6,398,515, all commonly assigned with the present application. These patents all disclose improved nutating pump technologies that are applicable to paint colorant dispensing as well as the dispensing of hair dyes, other cosmetics applications and other fluids.
Systems that dispense by volume only (i.e., not by weight) offer fast dispense times because feedback is not required. However, volumetric dispensing is not as accurate as gravimetric dispensing as air bubbles or density variations can compromise the accuracy of the amounts dispensed.
Another approach to liquid dispensing accuracy can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,365,722, which discloses a calibration scheme based on the ratio of impeller rotations to the weight of material dispensed. A first dispense amounting to about 95% of the target fill is carried out at a high flow rate followed by subsequent smaller dispenses at lower and lower flow rates until the target is reached. The low flow rates at the end of the dispense are necessary because a dispense in excess of the desired amount may result in the product being rejected. In short, once too much of an ingredient has been dispensed, there is no way to correct the error without rejecting that batch and starting over. However, this approach is slow as it requires multiple dispense cycles to reach the target and final cycles are carried out at very low flow rates.
Like paint, the color spectrum for hair dyes is broken down into dozens of different colors. Further, consumers having dry, normal or oily hair may require products especially formulated for their hair type. Specialized colors may be made for gray hair as opposed to more youthful hair. Coloring products may also be customized for curly hair, thin hair, afro, etc. Mixing ratios of the colorant and developer can vary greatly depending upon the desired effect. Therefore, in addition to the rainbow of shades that are necessary to meet public demand, stores are confronted with the significant problem of trying to stock all of the colors for the various hair types.
To address this problem, point-of-sale hair dye dispensing machines have been developed. One such machine is disclosed in U.S. Publication No. 2005/0087545, which is commonly owned with the present application. The machine includes a plurality of containers for storing various colorants or dye intermediates and developer solutions that typically contain an oxidizer (e.g., hydrogen peroxide).
Similar to the hair dye problem, not all cosmetic products are universally applicable. Consumers having dry, oily or normal skin may require treatment products especially formulated for their particular condition. Hair products including shampoos, conditioners, hair dyes and permanent wave solutions are all quite sensitive to individual characteristics of the treated hair. No generic formula fits all types. Even more complicated are color cosmetics. A rainbow of shades is necessary to meet public demand. Stores find it a significant problem to stock all possible variations of a particular color cosmetic. One type of multiple formula liquid dispenser is disclosed in the commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 6,935,386.
European regulations are becoming increasingly hostile to volatile organic components (VOCs). Because many liquid ingredients of paints, cosmetics and hair dyes contain VOCs, manufacturers and retailers are turning to powder ingredient and using water as a primary solvent. Therefore, powder dispensing systems have been developed. Co-pending U.S. application Ser. Nos. 10/841,275 and 11/100,360 disclose multiple powder dispensing systems.
The software or algorithms used to accurately dispense liquids or powders volumetrically, gravimetrically or a combination thereof tend to be complicated and require frequent calibration. As electronic scales become necessary when accuracy is paramount, electronic scales are slow operating devices and their use can increase dispense times. Further, the consumer, often with the help of a sales technician, uses the controller and software to choose the desired formulation. This process can be tedious and time consuming as the controller will require the consumer to answer numerous questions when determining the characteristics of the product to be dispensed. Then, after a formulation is chosen, the machine must execute the selected formulation, dispense the desired volume of said ingredient and then repeat the procedure for each ingredient of the selected formulation. Whether the dispense is volumetric, gravimetric or a combination of the two, the slow dispense process in combination with the selection process results in the entire operation taking several minutes or longer.
Therefore, to satisfy the needs of today's time pressured and time conscious consumers, an improved dispensing methodology that provides for faster dispense times for multiple ingredient formulations where the ingredients may be liquid or powder or a combination of liquids and powders.

**Lesson 1: Introduction to JavaFX**

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
JavaFX is a graphics library for Java that allows developers to create rich, immersive user interfaces for desktop, browser, and mobile applications. It is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern and uses a declarative syntax to define the appearance and behavior of UI components.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
To get started with JavaFX, you will need to install the JavaFX development environment and tools, including the JavaFX SDK, the Java SE JDK, and NetBeans. Once you have installed these tools, you can create your first JavaFX application by defining a Scene object and adding UI components to it.

Here is an example of a simple JavaFX application that displays a message box when the user clicks a button:

```java
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseButton;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;

public class HelloWorld extends Application {
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        // Create a grid pane
        GridPane grid = new GridPane();
        grid.setHgap(10);
        grid.setVgap(10);
        grid.setPadding(20);

        // Add labels to the grid pane
        String[] messages = {"Hello, world!", "Welcome to JavaFX!"};
        for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {
            Text label = new Text(messages[i]);
            grid.add(label, i, i);
        }

        // Create a button
        Button button = new Button("Click me!");

        // Add the button to the grid pane
        grid.add(button, 0, 1);

        // Set the scene
        Scene scene = new Scene(grid, 400, 300);

        // Show the window
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
```

In this example, we create a `Scene` object and add it to a `Stage` object. We then add UI components, such as labels and buttons, to the `Scene` object using the `add` method. Finally, we set the title of the window and display it using the `show` method.

### Section 3: Questions and Answers
**Q: What is JavaFX?**
A: JavaFX is a graphics library for Java that allows developers to create rich, immersive user interfaces for desktop, browser, and mobile applications.

**Q: What is the MVC design pattern?**
A: The Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern is a software architecture pattern that separates an application into three interconnected parts: the model, the view, and the controller. The model represents the data and behavior of the application, the view represents the visual presentation of the data, and the controller mediates between the model and the view.

**Q: What is declarative syntax?**
A: Declarative syntax is a programming paradigm that focuses on describing what the program should do rather than how it should do it. In JavaFX, declarative syntax is used to define the appearance and behavior of UI components.

### Glossary
- MVC: Model-View-Controller
- Declarative syntax: A programming paradigm that focuses on describing what the program should do rather than how it should do it.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we introduced JavaFX, a graphics library for Java that allows developers to create rich, immersive user interfaces for desktop, browser, and mobile applications. We also discussed the MVC design pattern and declarative syntax. In the next lesson, we will explore effects and transformations in JavaFX.

Blister packs are usually sealed with an adhesive coating using heat and pressure, but the need to maintain the pressure while waiting for the adhesive coating to be heated to form a bond requires the equipment to be operated at slower speeds than would be feasible if the bond were formed more quickly. The heated platens must be aligned with precision, thus requiring the equipment to be expensive both to fabricate and to operate. Each style of blister pack requires a unique platen or set of platens.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives have been used for sealing blister packs, but involve problems that have limited their use. For example, their tacky nature makes it desirable that they be applied only in areas of contact between the flanges of the blisters and the cardboard or other material on which the blisters are mounted. This is difficult to control, and slight misalignment might allow the contents to contact the tacky adhesive or allow the listers to open accidentally.
Heat applied in the sealing of a blister pack, often at temperatures of 175.degree. C., can damage items being packaged, even though the damage may not be evident. For example, medical pills, i.e., capsules or tablets, are often individually packaged by a pharmacist in medication cards having one punch-open compartment per pill, and the small size of each compartment brings the heat close to each pill. The pharmacist might not be aware of the deleterious effect that such heat may have on specific medications, and it is believed that for this reason such equipment is banned in the United Kingdom. Where such equipment is used, a preheating delay is required and there are safety hazards. During periods of hot weather, pharmacists complain about heat discharged into the working area.
A variety of other types of containers also are sealed by adhesive coatings using heat and pressure, and the speed at which the sealing equipment can be operated is likewise reduced by the delay in forming bonds.
Labels often are applied to containers and other objects using adhesive coatings that are sealed by heat and pressure. In addition to involving the aforementioned time delays, the labels, if misaligned, cannot be economically repositioned. Instead, solvent-activated adhesives are often used even though they involve similar time delays and set so quickly that repositioning is impractical. While pressure-sensitive adhesives eliminate such delays, those that that are sufficiently aggressive to make the labels tamper-resistant do not permit repositioning of misaligned labels.
Neither solvent-activated nor heat-activated adhesives are practical for many important applications such as adhering body-side molding to an automobile, thus requiring the use of pressure-sensitive adhesives, but for applications that require strong, permanent bonding, misalignment often cannot be economically corrected.
Some containers are sealed using heat-activated adhesives, e.g., peel-open tabs that close openings in the lids of drink-containing cans. The speed of sealing such closures also is reduced by the delay in forming the bond. The operating speed of equipment for heat-fusing two articles is likewise limited by the time delay to fuse material. For example, documents such as drivers' licenses are often protected between two heat-sealable plastic sheets. Such equipment is expensive and its high temperatures involve a safety hazard.

Lesson: How Blister Packs are Made

Introduction:
Blister packs are commonly used for packaging various items such as medicines, cosmetics, and electronic components. The process of making blister packs involves several steps, including forming the packaging material, filling the blisters, and sealing them. In this lesson, we will learn about the different methods used to make blister packs and the challenges associated with each method.

Section 1: Forming the Blister Packs

The first step in making a blister pack is to form the packaging material. There are two common methods used to form blister packs: thermoforming and injection molding.

Thermoforming involves heating a plastic sheet until it becomes pliable, then forming it into the desired shape using a mold. The plastic cools and hardens into the final shape of the blister pack. Injection molding, on the other hand, involves injecting molten plastic into a mold cavity, where it cools and hardens into the final shape of the blister pack.

Section 2: Filling the Blisters

Once the blister pack has been formed, the next step is to fill it with the desired item. This can be done using automated machines that dispense the item into each individual blister. The machine must be calibrated to ensure that the correct amount of item is dispensed into each blister.

Section 3: Sealing the Blisters

The final step in making a blister pack is to seal the blisters. There are two common methods used to seal blisters: heat sealing and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

Heat sealing involves applying heat and pressure to the blister pack to create a bond between the two layers of plastic. This method requires precise alignment of the heated platens, which can be expensive to fabricate and operate. Pressure-sensitive adhesives are also used to seal blisters, but they have limitations due to their tacky nature and the potential for misalignment.

Conclusion:
In summary, the process of making blister packs involves forming the packaging material, filling the blisters, and sealing them. There are different methods used for each step, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Understanding these methods can help us appreciate the complexity involved in manufacturing blister packs and the importance of quality control measures to ensure that the final product meets the desired specifications.

Glossary:
- Thermoforming: A process of forming a plastic sheet into a desired shape by heating it until it becomes pliable and then cooling it in the mold.
- Injection molding: A process of injecting molten plastic into a mold cavity and allowing it to cool and harden into the final shape of the blister pack.
- Heat sealing: A method of sealing blister packs by applying heat and pressure to create a bond between the two layers of plastic.
- Pressure-sensitive adhesives: A type of adhesive that bonds to a surface when light pressure is applied to it.

Transcript of The parts of Compressional and Transverse waves

Wavelength Wavelength is one point of a wave to another point exactly like it. Amplitude Amplitude has to do with the energy that the wave is transferring. Frequency Frequency is the amount of wavelengths that pass a fixed point per second. Period The period of a wave is how long a wavelength takes to pass a point. Frequency and period are related in a sort of way. What's in a Wave? As you know, there are two types of waves: Transverse & Compressional Now we'll go deeper into what is in each wave... Taylor Wallace Have you heard the words "wavelength", "amplitude", and "frequency"? Do you know what they mean? Well, you'regonna find out! Transverse waves Before we get into wavelength and frequency... you need to know what a crest and trough is. Crest Crest Crest Trough Trough It can be measured by crest to crest,trough to trough, or any other similarpoints. Compressional Waves Don't have crests or troughs, but they do have compressions and rarefactions. In a compressional wave: It's measured from rarefaction to rarefaction or compression to compression It's measured in hertz (Hz). In a transverse wave, you can just count the no. of crests in a wave. Or you can count the no. of troughs. Really, just find out how many wavelengths there are. For compressional waves, do the same, but count rarefactions and compressions, of course. Period= 1/Frequency Frequency= 1/Period Example:

If the Frequency= 5, then the period is 1/5.

If the period is 2, then the freqency is 1/2. Transverse wave: It's measured from crest to resting position, or trough to resting position. The red line shows the amplitude Compressional wave: It's measured by the density of the compressions Wavelength and Frequency are related Frequency and wavelength are indirectly related. They're related because when one is higher, then the other is smaller. So if wavelength is higher, you know that the frequency is smaller. And if the frequency is bigger, then the wavelength is smaller. Wave speed Wave speed (m/s)= frequency (hz) X wavelength (m) This is how to find wave speed So let's say that you have a wave with a frequency of 6 hz and a wavelength of 4 m. What would the wave speed be? The answer's 24 m/s!!!!!

Did you get it right? I hope you understand all the parts of a transverse and compressional wave. Compressions are the parts that are bunched up, and the rarefactions are the parts that are spread apart In a transverse wave: If you're unclear about anything, just look back at the parts you're not sure about, and see how I went through it. You can also look up examples on your own. Have fun!!! :D It's important that you know that the speed that a wave is depends on the medium. That's right, what it goes through affects how fast it is! Sound travels through liquids and solids, and light travels faster through gas. So How Do You Find Wave Speed? Here's the formula to find wave speed: Wave speed= Frequency X Wavelength That's why you can see through oxygen, but not through a wall.

Lesson: Waves

Introduction:
Waves are all around us, from the ocean to sound waves. There are two types of waves: compressional and transverse. In this lesson, we will explore the parts of these waves and their properties.

Section 1: Wavelength, Amplitude, and Frequency
Wavelength is the distance between two points on a wave that are exactly the same. Amplitude refers to the energy that the wave is transferring. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point per second.

The formula for frequency is:
Frequency = Number of waves passing a point per second

The formula for period is:
Period = 1 / Frequency

Section 2: Transverse Waves
Transverse waves have a crest and trough. The crest is the highest point of the wave, and the trough is the lowest point. The distance between the crest and trough is called the wavelength. The amplitude of the wave is the height of the crest from the trough.

Section 3: Compressional Waves
Compressional waves do not have crests or troughs. Instead, they move in a way that causes particles to be pushed closer together or pulled apart. The amplitude of the wave is how much the particles are compressed or expanded.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the parts of waves and their properties. We explored the differences between transverse and compressional waves and the formulas for frequency and period. By understanding these concepts, we can better understand the world around us and apply this knowledge to new problems.

Glossary:
- Wavelength: The distance between two points on a wave that are exactly the same.
- Amplitude: The energy that the wave is transferring.
- Frequency: The number of waves that pass a fixed point per second.
- Period: The time it takes for one complete cycle of a wave to pass a point.
- Transverse wave: A wave that has a crest and trough.
- Compressional wave: A wave that does not have a crest or trough but moves particles closer together or apart.

Minimally Invasive Sinus Tarsi Approach With Cannulated Screw Fixation Combined With Vacuum-Assisted Closure for Treatment of Severe Open Calcaneal Fractures With Medial Wounds.
The aim of our prospective study was to investigate the clinical results and advantages of a minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach with cannulated screw fixation combined with vacuum-assisted closure for the treatment of severe open calcaneal fractures with medial wounds. A total of 31 patients (32 feet) with open calcaneal fractures who were admitted to our hospital from January 2008 to May 2013 were selected for the study and randomly divided into 2 groups: the cannulated screw group (n = 16 patients, 16 feet) and the plate group (n = 15 patients, 16 feet). The Böhler and Gissane angles were compared before and after surgery. The clinical results were evaluated using according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scale and the rate of infection. The follow-up duration for all patients ranged from 10 to 36 (mean 24) months. No statistically significant differences were found in the radiologic indicators, incidence of early postoperative complications, or American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scores (p > .05) between the 2 groups. However, a statistically significant difference was seen in the duration of hospitalization (p < .05) between the 2 groups. A minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach with cannulated screw fixation combined with vacuum-assisted closure is an effective method for the treatment of severe open calcaneal fractures with medial wounds. It provides good reduction and requires fewer days of hospitalization.

I. What is minimally invasive surgery?
II. Advantages of minimally invasive surgery
III. Applications of minimally invasive surgery in treating severe open calcaneal fractures with medial wounds
IV. Conclusion

I. What is minimally invasive surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery is a type of surgery that involves making small incisions instead of larger ones. This allows surgeons to perform surgery through these small incisions, which reduces the risk of complications and speeds up recovery time for patients.

II. Advantages of minimally invasive surgery
There are several advantages of minimally invasive surgery, including:

1. Reduced risk of complications: Since the surgeon makes smaller incisions, there is less risk of infection or other complications.
2. Faster recovery time: Patients recover more quickly after minimally invasive surgery because there is less damage to their tissue and muscles.
3. Less pain: Because there are fewer incisions, patients experience less pain after surgery.
4. Better cosmetic results: Since there are smaller scars, the cosmetic results of minimally invasive surgery are often better than traditional surgery.

III. Applications of minimally invasive surgery in treating severe open calcaneal fractures with medial wounds
One application of minimally invasive surgery is in treating severe open calcaneal fractures with medial wounds. In this type of surgery, surgeons make small incisions in the foot and use specialized tools to fix the fracture with cannulated screws. This approach has several advantages over traditional surgery, including:

1. Reduced risk of infection: Since there are fewer incisions, there is less chance of infection.
2. Faster recovery time: Patients can recover more quickly because there is less damage to their tissue and muscles.
3. Less pain: Patients experience less pain after surgery because there are fewer incisions.
4. Better cosmetic results: Since there are smaller scars, the cosmetic results of minimally invasive surgery are often better than traditional surgery.

IV. Conclusion
In conclusion, minimally invasive surgery is a valuable tool for treating severe open calcaneal fractures with medial wounds. This approach offers several advantages over traditional surgery, including reduced risk of complications, faster recovery time, less pain, and better cosmetic results. As with any surgery, however, it is essential to carefully consider the risks and benefits before deciding on a course of action.
