    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure include systems and methods for providing dynamic ingredient matrix reconfiguration in a product dispenser. In one example, a method for configuring a dispenser apparatus may include determining one or more current associations between some or all of a plurality of ingredient packages and one or more of a plurality of dispensing devices associated with the dispenser apparatus. The method may include determining whether a current association of the one or more current associations has changed with respect to at least one previous association between some or all of the plurality of ingredient packages and one or more of the plurality of dispensing devices, and in response to ascertaining that the current association has changed, modifying an association table based at least on the one or more current associations, the association table being representative of the at least one previous association.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an extractor tube assembly for a beverage container, comprising a gas valve and a beverage valve adapted to cooperate with each other, the gas valve and beverage valve comprising a ring-shaped gasket, the gasket being made of an elastomeric material and comprising an insert made of a rigid material, and the gasket having a top part with an upper face visible from outside the extractor tube assembly, the top part being arranged above the insert. The elastomeric material encloses the insert and a portion of the top part of the gasket is adapted to be released from the insert when a pressure inside the beverage container exceeds a predetermined level so that fluid communication between an interior of the beverage container and the surroundings is provided, whereby the pressure is released from the beverage container, the gasket comprising an identification detectable from the upper face of the gasket, so that it is easily detectable if a pressure release function of the gasket has been partly or fully initiated.

    摘要: A dispensing system may be configured to dispense a custom product based on a user selection. The user selection may be provided via a user interface of the dispensing system. The user interface may simultaneously display selectable icons for the available types of products (e.g., types of beverages) and other icons for modifying a chosen product (e.g., a flavoring or additive to a beverage, such as a sweetener or a cherry flavoring). The user interface may receive input from a user in order for the user to select a custom product (e.g., a custom drink) and the dispensing system may dispense the custom product to the user.

    摘要: A volumetric displacement device, especially good for preserving and dispensing carbonated beverages has been constructed that is extremely light, small, safe, attractive, easy to use, energy efficient and inexpensive. It can use battery power, has an ovaloid shape, can be constructed of thin flexible plastics, and operates in various positions that eliminate the need for a pickup tube. The controls of the device have been linked both electronically and mechanically for ease of operation.

    摘要: A water dispenser is provided in which a when turned on, timer control of a sterilization operation is automatically started. If an initial input of a predetermined signal by a user is confirmed, after the sterilization operation, an energy saving operation in which the heater is maintained off for a limited time; and a reservation control in which reserved times determined by the timer control are updated based on the time when the input is made; are carried out. If a second or subsequent input is confirmed, the elapsed time since the last sterilization operation until the second or subsequent input is compared with a threshold. If the elapsed time is longer than the threshold, the sterilization operation, the energy saving operation, and the reservation control are carried out. If not, the energy saving operation is carried out without performing the sterilization operation and the reservation control.
