A pet bowl water cooling system includes a bowl, a pump for removing water from the bowl, a heat transfer device, and a conduit adapted to carry the water to the heat transfer device, to carry cooled water back to the bowl. The heat transfer device can include a metal coil submersed in a relatively cool liquid medium. Preferably, the bowl includes a float valve to allow water to flow into the bowl when the float valve is activated. In an embodiment, the liquid medium includes water in a water reservoir of an evaporative cooler. In an embodiment, the evaporative cooler includes a housing that is disposed between studs of a wall. The dog bowl can be mounted on an interior wall or an exterior wall. In an embodiment, the evaporative cooler is disposed within a wall of a dog house and the dog dish is mounted thereon.

The invention provides for the manufacture of cheese products enhanced with a natural, biogenerated flavoring system. The natural flavoring system described herein may be used with various types of cheese and dairy products. In one embodiment, the system may be used in the production of flavor enhanced fresh cheese or cream cheese. In another embodiment, the system may be used in the production of low-fat cheese products, such as low-fat cream cheese.

An evaporative cooling system includes a housing that fits between a pair of wall studs of a structure. The housing includes a water pump, an evaporative pad, a water distributor, a motor, and a fan. In an embodiment, the wall studs are spaced about sixteen inches on center. This leaves about 14.5 inches between the studs, and the housing will preferably be about 14 inches in width to ensure proper fit. The unit may be about 3 to 6 inches in thickness and about 24 inches in height, protruding no more than about three inches from the inside wall. The housing also preferably includes a front cover. A ventilation grill can be installed on the exterior wall to facilitate outside air being brought into the system. In other embodiments, the studs are spaced differently (e.g., about twenty-four inches on center) or the unit is installed in a structure built using non-wood framing (e.g., SIP, ICF).

A method is provided that allows simultaneous control of macroscopic azimuthal and zenithal liquid crystal alignment (φ, θ) across a liquid crystal layer by controlling the area ratios between first, second and third different types of alignment region (T1, T2, T3) in a patterned alignment layer, the three different types of alignment region (T1, T2, T3) tending to induce liquid crystal alignment in the liquid crystal layer in three different respective, non-coplanar, principal orientations (z, x, y). In the illustrated example, the first type of alignment region (T1) tends to induce substantially homeotropic alignment (in the z direction) and the second and third types of alignment region (T2, T3) tend to induce substantially planar alignment in different, orthogonal, principal orientations (in the x and y directions). Control of macroscopic zenithal liquid crystal alignment (θ) is achieved by controlling the area ratios between the homeotropic (T1) and planar region types (T2, T3), and control of macroscopic azimuthal liquid crystal alignment (φ) is achieved by controlling the area ratio between the two planar region types (T2, T3).

A display device is provided that comprises a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image by spatial light modulation, and circuitry for switching liquid crystal in the panel between having a first configuration in a first mode to cause an image displayed using the panel to be discernible from a wide range of viewing angles, and having a second configuration in a second mode to cause an image displayed using the panel to be discernible substantially only from within a narrow range of viewing angles. Several types of display panel to achieve such in-panel switching between public and private viewing modes are disclosed.
