摘要:
A beverage dispensing system includes serving spouts in fluid connection with inlet pipes locatable within beverage receptacles. The serving spouts have receptacle identifiers and are associated with prices/price groups or points/points groups. Product data sets in computer memory include a product identifier and have associated receptacle identifiers and prices or points. A reading device calculates value from a stored value device. Stored value device data sets in computer memory include stored value device identifiers and stored values. A user selection component obtains a serving spout selection, and dispenses a volume of beverage from the selected serving spout by comparing the prices or points associated with the selected serving spout and the stored value. User data sets and transaction data sets in computer memory include user identifiers, stored value device identifiers, stored value device identifiers, and receptacle identifiers.
摘要:
An oscillator-amplifier gas discharge laser system and method is disclosed which may comprise a first laser unit which may comprise a first discharge region which may contain an excimer or molecular fluorine lasing gas medium; a first pair of electrodes defining the first discharge region containing the lasing gas medium, a line narrowing unit for narrowing a spectral bandwidth of output laser light pulse beam pulses produced in said first discharge region; a second laser unit which may comprise a second discharge chamber which may contain an excimer or molecular fluorine lasing gas medium; a second pair of electrodes defining the second discharge region containing the lasing gas medium; a pulse power system providing electrical pulses to the first pair of electrodes and to the second pair of electrodes producing gas discharges in the lasing gas medium between the respective first and second pair of electrodes, and laser parameter control mechanism modifying a selected parameter of a selected laser output light pulse beam pulse produced by said gas discharge laser system by controlling the timing of the occurrence of the gas discharge between the first pair of electrodes and the occurrence of the gas discharge between the second pair of electrodes.
摘要:
An artificial honeycomb for use in a beehive and which enables honey to be removed from the honeycomb without removing the honeycomb from the hive, the honeycomb comprising cells and being formed of at least two parts which are moveable relative to each other between a cell formed position where the cells comprise side walls and an end wall to enable bees to fill the cell with honey, and a cell open position where at least some of the said walls have moved apart, whereby honey in the cells can be removed from the honeycomb by movement of the at least two parts to the cell open position.
摘要:
A process for shading paint to match the color of a standard color paint which process involves the use of transparent film to optically simulate the effect of reading color through the conventional clearcoat layer, which eliminates the steps of cooling, spraying, flashing and baking the clearcoat with each iteration of test panels, with resultant significant decrease in process time.
摘要:
A composition suitable for veterinary, agricultural or horticultural use is disclosed which comprises at least one organic veterinarally, agriculturally and/or horticulturally active compound, and titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide which has been doped with a second element and/or reduced zinc oxide as well as a composition suitable for household use which comprises at least one organic biocide and one of the specified oxides.
摘要:
A composition for coloring the surface of a porous substrate is disclosed comprising a colorant, a binding agent, and a water-repelling agent is disclosed wherein upon application of the composition to the surface of the porous substrate, the composition penetrates the surface through the pores of the substrate, and adds color to the surface of the porous substrate. Also disclosed is the method for coloring a substrate, a colored surface of a porous substrate and a process for producing such a composition.
