Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for regulating fluid flow are disclosed. The apparatus includes a flow rate sensor and a valve. The flow rate sensor uses images to estimate flow through a drip chamber and then controls the valve based on the estimated flow rate. The valve comprises a rigid housing disposed around the tube in which fluid flow is being controlled. Increasing the pressure in the housing controls the size of the lumen within the tube by deforming the tube, therefore controlling flow through the tube.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid, such as a thixotropic fluid. In some embodiments, a bottle having a closure cap includes a flip top, a base, and a disk, where the base and disk define a mixing chamber configured to facilitate mixing of any serum or liquid separated from the fluid back therein. In some configurations, the base has a central opening through which the fluid exits and an internal shaft with a non-planar end surface opposite the central opening. In some configurations, the non-planar end surface and the disk define channels between the mixing chamber and the internal shaft. In some embodiments, the disk includes a central opening, a plurality of partial annular openings through a planar surface of the disk, and projections extending into the mixing chamber.

Abstract: A container may include a wall and an outlet valve, where the outlet valve includes: a membrane that is elastically deformable under the effect of positive pressure of a substance relative to the outside, an outer surface of the membrane being in contact with an external environment, in the area of a slit formed in a zone for removing the substance, the slit being suitable for allowing the discharge of a flow of the substance caused by the positive pressure; a wall configured to be, in the absence of positive pressure of the substance, in contact with an inner surface of the membrane along a contact line arranged on the periphery of the slit, and configured to allow the inner surface of the membrane to move away from at least part of the wall in the event of positive pressure of the substance.

Abstract: Concentrated liquid flavorings and methods of preparing flavored beverages using the concentrated liquid flavorings are described herein. The concentrated liquid flavorings are shelf stable for prolonged storage times at ambient temperatures. Shelf stability is provided, at least in part, by acidic pH and/or reduced water activity. By one approach, the concentrated liquid flavorings are intended to provide flavor to a beverage, such as coffee, tea, milk, or other savory beverage. The concentrated liquid flavorings may be provided in a convenient portable and dosable format that can be easily used by a consumer to provide the desired flavor and amount of flavor to a beverage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device for dispensing a fluid product. The device includes a dispensing end; an attachment end; and a dispensing valve provided between the attachment end and the dispensing end and formed by a flexible member and a rigid member. The dispensing valve is actuatable between an open position in which a dispensing channel is formed between the flexible member and the rigid member, and a closed position in which the dispensing channel is closed. The dispensing valve includes a first valve portion and a second valve portion. The second valve portion is located closer to the dispensing end than the first valve portion. The dispensing valve is configured such that a greater biasing force is applied onto the rigid member by the flexible member in the first valve portion than in the second valve portion when the dispensing valve is in the closed position.

Abstract: A bottle assembly is provided including a bottle having an end portion with a first detent formation, and a collar having a second complementary detent formation. The collar is arranged to snap fit to the end portion by engagement of the detent formations by application of force only in a direction towards the bottle. In addition, a valve assembly for use with a drinking vessel is provided including a base member and a sealing member. The sealing member is movable, dependent on a pressure difference across it, between a sealed position, wherein the sealing member is sealed against the base member, and an unsealed position, wherein the sealing member is unsealed from the base member. One or more channels are formed between the base member and the sealing member and are arranged to allow air to enter the drinking vessel when the sealing member is in the unsealed position.

Abstract: A dispensing closure for a flowable product is provided. The closure comprises a dispensing channel having a dispensing orifice, and a separate flow control member movable with respect to the dispensing channel. The flow control member is movable from a sealed position in which it prevents product flow through the dispensing orifice and an unsealed position in which fluid can flow around and/or within the flow control member to reach the dispensing orifice.
