Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a beverage nucleator system that can initiate ice crystal nucleation by application of a directed flow of pressurized gas to the exterior of the fluid container containing a supercooled beverage. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a beverage nucleator system for a supercooled beverage container which may include a frame having a beverage container aperture for receiving a beverage container therein and a gas outlet positioned within the beverage container aperture for directing a flow of pressurized gas at a beverage container received therein.

Abstract: A microwave appliance provides safe heating of packaged food products at an efficiency greater than 90%. A temperature sensor positioned about a product holder is configured to sense a temperature of the package. A product identification scanner identifies a type of food product, a type of packaging, and/or a size of packaging being inserted into the microwave appliance. The product identification may be used to obtain a dielectric constant and/or electrical conductivity of the product. An electric field detector verifies that a suitable product has been inserted into the microwave appliance and is used to estimate a volume of the packaged food product. Accordingly, even partially full packaged food products may be safely re-heated to a desired temperature. As opposed to a time-based operation with traditional microwave appliances, operation of the microwave appliance may be adjusted based on the product identification scanner, temperature sensor, and electric field detector.

Abstract: A display device includes a housing with a grid assembly received therein. A plurality of light assemblies is coupled to the grid assembly, for example in a grid pattern to create a dynamic display area. Each of light assemblies has an actuator assembly, with each one of the actuator assemblies being individually controllable to move the corresponding light assembly between a retracted state and a plurality of extended states. A controller is coupled to each of the plurality of light assemblies and programmed to control the actuator assemblies to move the light assemblies between the retracted state and the plurality of extended states.
