Liquid dispensing apparatus is disclosed having at least one liquid dispensing chamber and an associated prefill chamber with displacement mechanism for transferring liquid therefrom to the dispensing chamber. The dispensing chamber is in communication with the prefill chamber over a weir so that liquid in the dispensing chamber in excess of a predetermined measure flows back over the weir to the prefill chamber. The dispensing chamber has an outlet openable and closable by a seal to dispense the measure held in the dispensing chamber.

An oscillatory pump includes a cylinder (9) having normally-closed valves (10,13) of flexible material fixedly located at the inlet (A.sub.c) and outlet (B.sub.c) ends of the cylinder (9), and a piston (1) having an inlet (A.sub.p) and an outlet (B.sub.p). The piston (1) is reciprocatable within the cylinder (9) and is provided with a further valve (6) of flexible material movable with the piston (1) and located at the outlet end (B.sub.p) of the piston (1). The piston (1) is constructed to allow fluid to pass from an inlet chamber (C1) formed between the inlet valve (10) and the inlet end (A.sub.p) of the piston (1) to an outlet chamber (C2) formed between the further valve (6) and the outlet valve (13) in response of the piston (1) within the cylinder (9). The valve includes a valve seat having a generally conical first surface portion and a second surface portion located radially inwardly of the first surface portion and extending generally parallel to the axis of the first surface portion. A generally annular valve member has a tip portion for gripping the second surface portion of the valve seat with an interference fit only between the tip portion and the valve seat. A mechanism is provided for effecting reciprocatory movement of the piston (1) within the cylinder (9).

A foodstuff grinding attachment for connection to a rotary drive outlet of a host device. The attachment includes a main body part having a generally tubular hollowed portion for attachment to the host device. A rotatable scroll-type extruding tool is capable of rotating within a cavity formed in the tubular portion of the main body part and couples with the rotary drive outlet when the main body part is attached to the host device. The main body part includes first and second separable components configured to be secured together for operation of the attachment. The components are separable from one another to provide access to the cavity for cleaning.

A system and method for conducting an online poll by providing a website upon which a visitor to the website can post a question or statement accompanied by one or more pre-determined possible responses to the question or statement. A subsequent visitor to the website is able to view the question or statement and select one or more responses. Preferably, questions or statements posed may only be grouped or searched by a visitor to the website using categories of data for which the visitor to the website has provided information. The subsequent visitor is only able to view the results of the poll once he or she has selected a response. Preferably, responses selected to a question or statement may only be grouped or searched by a visitor to the website using categories of data for which the visitor to the website has provided information.
