    Abstract: A drinking water dispenser includes a body, including: an inlet pipe for connecting the external water source, a cold water tank having a lower part filled with water and an upper part in which an air cavity is formed, when the tank is filled with water, a water inlet connected to the inlet pipe, and water outlet connected to an outlet pipe, an outlet valve for dispensing water to consumers, connected to the outlet pipe, and a UV radiation source installed in the cold water tank. The water inlet is made in a form of a vertical pipe, placed in the cold water tank, and having an open upper end and a lower end connected to the inlet pipe; and the UV radiation source is installed in the upper part of the cold water tank above the open upper end of the vertical pipe of the water inlet.

    Abstract: An activity and volume sensing beverage container cap system for a beverage container including a cap that couples with the beverage container, a processor, a timer and at least one activity level sensor, such as an inclinometer, coupled with the processor. The activity level sensor detects container orientation. When the container is tilted, the timer measures an amount of time in an orientation. Based on the current and previous orientation and the amount of time the container is in different orientations, the processor determines an amount of time of activity of the user, and a level of activity of the user, such as number of steps or moves per time. The inclinometer is also sued to determine the amount of volume dispensed from the container when tilted over a threshold indicative of drinking. Thus one inclinometer may be utilized as both to determine activity level and volume of fluid dispensed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for receptacle auto fill using inductive sensing are provided. One example system includes a dispensing system capable of dispensing liquid. The system includes a sensor. The sensor includes a coil positioned adjacent to a dispensing area of the dispensing system. The system includes a receptacle capable of holding a volume of liquid. The system includes a floating object positioned within the receptacle and permitted to move upwards and downwards based on a liquid fill level of the receptacle. The floating object includes a conductive strip providing a first impedance at a first vertical position of the strip and a second impedance at a second vertical position of the strip. The first impedance is different than the second impedance. The system includes a controller configured to control the dispensing system based at least in part on an amount of inductance exhibited between the coil and the conductive strip.

    Abstract: Fixed-volumes of liquid are measured and dispensed from a container by empirically determining the liquid surface height and opening a dispensing valve for a time period that is calculated using a volume of liquid specified to be dispensed and the empirically-determined liquid surface height. The liquid surface height in the container is determined empirically for initial and subsequent volumes of liquid that are dispensed. Dispensing accuracy is maintained whether the container is full or nearly empty.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for monitoring a level of product in a reservoir of a chemical dispensing system. A lid configured to engage an opening of a container includes a level sensor having a transceiver that transmits an output signal and receives a portion of the output signal reflected back to the transceiver. The level sensor determines an amount of the product in the container by comparing a characteristic of the reflected signal, such as time the reflected signal was received, to the characteristic of the output signal, such as the time the output signal was transmitted. The level sensor may also determine the size of the container based on the reflected signal, and take this size into account when determining the amount of product in the container. The level sensor transmits product level data to a mobile device in response to receiving an interrogation signal therefrom.

    Abstract: A gravity flow liquid disinfectant dispensing reservoir comprised of a tapered base and a neck portion that extends centrally from the reservoir. An aperture located on the bottom of the reservoir facilitates the dispensing of liquid (i.e., disinfectant) from the reservoir into a holding tank. In another embodiment, a closed system for dispensing a liquid disinfectant into a tank containing liquid (effluent) and controlled via vacuum. The gravity flow device introduces disinfectant to the tank as the water level rises, giving the ultimate amount of contact time for treatment of effluent. Utilizing gravity and vacuum controlled dispensing of disinfectant dispenses disinfectant continuously and automatically in real time and provides for maximum contact time for minimal pathogen survival.
