    摘要： A system and method for dispensing a beverage are provided. The system includes a liquid dispensing machine having a dispensing area capable of receiving a container, a scanner adjacent to the dispensing area, a container that is capable of being placed in the dispensing area, and annular barcode indicia extending around an exterior surface of the container and centered around a generally vertical axis of the container. The scanner can read the annular barcode indicia when the container is placed in the dispensing area at any rotational orientation relative to the scanner.

    摘要： A beverage dispenser for filling a container preferably has a nozzle through which the beverage is discharged and a pivoting lever located underneath the nozzle that detects the placement of a container so as to regulate the actuation of the dispenser. A conductive probe is in line with the discharged beverage stream, the lever also being conductive. A signal generator generates a varying-over-time signal that is applied to the probe or lever. As a result of beverage overflowing the container, the beverage stream establishes a conductive path between the probe and lever. The signal through this conductive path is compared to the signal produced by the signal generator. If the signals are substantially identical for a select period of time, the dispensing system is considered to be in an overflow state, and beverage dispensing is terminated.

    摘要翻译： 用于填充容器的饮料分配器优选地具有喷嘴，饮料通过该喷嘴排出，以及位于喷嘴下方的枢转杆，其检测容器的放置以调节分配器的致动。 导电探针与排出的饮料流一致，该杆也是导电的。 信号发生器产生施加到探头或杠杆的变化超时信号。 由于饮料溢出容器的结果，饮料流在探针和杠杆之间建立导电路径。 通过该导电路径的信号与由信号发生器产生的信号进行比较。 如果信号在选择的时间段内基本相同，则认为分配系统处于溢出状态，并且终止饮料分配。

    摘要： A lighting system for dispensing units such as ice and water dispensers on refrigerators includes a paddle on a shaft for activating and deactivating the dispenser by force applied from a receptacle. The shaft is configured as a light tube. A light source is positioned above the shaft to supply light into the shaft and paddle in the non-deflected condition. A prism is provided to receive light from the light source when the paddle is depressed, and to redirect light from the light source towards a receptacle positioned for receiving ice or water dispensed by the dispenser.

    摘要： A machine for dispensing beverages may include a support structure and a plurality of valve trays mounted on the support structure in side-by-side relation. The machine may also include a connection block disposed on each of the plurality of valve trays, where each connection block may be configured to receive a first supply of a diluent and a second supply of a diluent. A valve may be disposed on each connection block, and each valve may be configured to be selectively movable between the first supply, the second supply, and a closed position. A nozzle may be mounted to each of the valve trays at a predefined dispensing location, and each nozzle may be configured to selectively receive diluent from the first supply and the second supply.

    摘要： A method and apparatus is provided to detect the position of an object, such as a container, in a target window using the concept of triangulation of energy radiation. A transmitter emits a pulse of energy in response to a periodic clock pulse which is at least partially reflected off the container positioned in the target window and into a receiver, forming an optical triangle. The signal produced by the receiver is checked to ensure that the energy indicative signal is synchronous with the periodic clock pulse to eliminate errant energy sources. The presence of a synchronous signal indicates the presence of an object in the target window wherein subsequent action may be taken, such as dispensing beverage and/or ice into a container within the target window. The invention is incorporated into a dispensing valve and may have the transmitter and receiver mounted vertically or horizontally. The invention is disclosed in an integrated, modular dispensing valve assembly incorporating all the components to accommodate easy retrofitting, and replacement of existing manually operated dispensing valves. The invention also includes the option of adding additional transmitter and receiver pairs to provide a level control to disable dispensing once the dispensed product reaches a given level in the container.

    摘要： A system for controlling a dispensing apparatus having a dispensing outlet includes a first illumination source having a first field of illumination, a second illumination source having a second field of illumination, at least one optical sensor, and a control circuit. The control circuit is responsive to the at least one optical sensor to initiate dispensing of a material through the dispensing outlet when the at least one optical sensor senses a portion of a receiving member positioned within the first field of illumination and the second field of illumination. An alternative embodiment utilizes a single illumination source, a plurality of optical sensors, and a control circuit. Here, dispensing can be initiated when a portion of the receiving member is within the fields of view of the plurality of optical sensors.
