Abstract: A beverage dispensing valve may include an inlet to receive carbonated water, a nozzle shell, and an outlet downstream of the nozzle shell configured to dispense a finished beverage. The nozzle shell may include an aperture open to ambient pressure environment. A method for dispensing a beverage may include flowing carbonated water through an inlet of a beverage dispensing valve, lowering the pressure of the carbonated water sufficient to promote carbon dioxide nucleation, flowing the carbonated water through a chamber vented to environment such that a portion of carbon dioxide nucleated is off-gassed, and introducing a beverage ingredient when the carbonated water reaches a sufficiently low carbonation level. A beverage dispensing nozzle may include an inlet configured to receive carbonated water from a beverage dispensing valve, a nozzle shell including an aperture open to ambient pressure environment, and an outlet downstream of the nozzle shell configured to dispense a finished beverage.

Abstract: A hydration monitoring system for the collection of data about fluid consumption and hydration levels of athletes during training or practice sessions. The system may also measure and analyze carbohydrate consumption. The system utilizes a hydration bottle containing a fluid and to measures the amount of fluid consumed in a given time interval and wirelessly transmit the measurements; and a scale configured to measure the weight of an athlete and wirelessly transmit the measurements. The system further utilizes a data communications hub configured to receive data comprising the measurements from the hydration bottle and scale and forward the data to a computer; and a computer configured to receive the data from the hub for analysis. The computer analyzes the data and calculates whether the athlete should consume more or less fluid and/or more or less carbohydrates.
