Abstract: A beverage dispenser includes a number of features providing enhanced functionality for a user, e.g., functionality beyond what might be found in traditional beverage dispensers. By way of example, an improved beverage dispenser may read data relating to contents, display information and graphics about the contents on a display panel, control and monitor dispensed fluids and so forth. A beverage dispenser instrumented in this manner may also be connected through a network to remote resources in order to augment local information and provide a rich, interactive user experience.

Abstract: A dispenser system for a fluid container includes a two-stage valve having a chamber disposed in-between an active valve and a passive valve. The chamber and related components may be configured to encourage recapture and sealing of pooled fluid in the chamber under a variety of usage scenarios. The chamber may include a reservoir to recapture fluid that has pooled within the spout when the container is angled for a pour. At the same time, a number of channels may divert outbound fluid flow around the chamber during pouring to ensure that this recapture reservoir is not over-filled with fluid during high-flow-rate pouring scenarios. These two techniques may be used alone, or in combination to simultaneously address recapture of statically and dynamically disposed fluid within the spout.
Abstract translation: 用于流体容器的分配器系统包括具有布置在主动阀和被动阀之间的腔室的双级阀。 腔室和相关部件可以被配置为在各种使用情况下鼓励重新捕获和密封腔室中的合并流体。 腔室可以包括储存器,以在容器倾斜倾倒时重新捕获已经集中在喷口内的流体。 同时,在浇注过程中,许多通道可能会将流出的流体流动转移到腔室周围,以确保在高流量浇注情况下该再回收容器不会充满流体。 这两种技术可以单独使用,或组合使用,以同时解决在喷口内重新捕获静态和动态处理的流体。

Abstract: A beverage container includes a flexible inside container and a rigid outside container. The flexible container can retain a liquid and seal the liquid from environmental air, while the surrounding rigid container facilitates handling and pouring in a form factor that reproduces the look and feel of a conventional wine bottle. A one-way valve permits pouring from the flexible container while preventing ingress of atmospheric oxygen or other contaminants. In particular, the one-way valve can be configured to retain a beverage within the flexible container until an exit path for the beverage through the valve is filled with liquid to seal the exit path and effectively eliminate any return path for ingress of air. To create a bottle-like pouring experience, the valve may automatically open to allow for the pouring of fluid when the bottle is tilted, and the valve may automatically close at the end of a pour.
Abstract translation: 饮料容器包括柔性内部容器和刚性外部容器。 柔性容器可以保持液体并将液体从环境空气中密封,而周围的刚性容器便于处理和倾倒,其形状因子使得常规酒瓶的外观和感觉再现。 单向阀允许从柔性容器倾倒,同时防止大气氧气或其他污染物的进入。 特别地,单向阀可以构造成将饮料保持在柔性容器内,直到用于通过阀的饮料的出口路径被填充液体以密封出口路径并且有效地消除空气进入的任何返回路径。 为了产生瓶子的倾倒体验,当瓶子倾斜时,阀门可以自动打开以允许流体流出,并且阀门可以在倾倒结束时自动关闭。
