A device for pouring a liquid coming from a container provided with a neck includes a housing provided with a system for securing to the container; a tube that is able to inserted into the neck, this tube defining a pouring duct; a pump including: a compressor provided with at least one air inlet, with an air outlet and with a mobile assembly that is able to bring the air inlet and the air outlet into fluidic communication, and an electric motor coupled to the mobile assembly; an injector which is connected to the air outlet of the compressor by way of an upstream end and opens into the centre of the pouring duct by way of a downstream end.

A system and method directed to the partial or full automation of recipe processing by an appliance is described. A recipe may include one or more of at least a portion of operating code, one or more appliance operation(s) or one or more action(s) to initiate operation of the appliance. A computing device may include a recipe processing application that generates a display on a user interface. The display may include one or more indications of the partial or full automation of appliance operations for processing recipe ingredients. The appliance is a blender in one example, and the appliance operations are for processing the recipe ingredients by the blender.

The invention relates to a device (1) having a base station (2) and at least one processing unit (3) that can be detached from the base station (2), having a tool (4) for processing a medium, wherein the processing unit (3) is provided with a vessel (5) for receiving the medium, a closure unit (6) for closing the vessel (5) and a sensor device (13) for measuring at least one parameter of the medium, wherein the sensor device (13) is disposed in and/or on the vessel (5) in a stationary manner such that a reliable measurement of a parameter can be carried out simultaneously with processing of the medium, and in that the device (1) has a wireless module (7) for producing a wireless connection between the base station (2) and the processing unit (3) at least for transmitting data.

The present invention is directed generally to the field carbonated beverage dispensing systems having a replaceable carbon dioxide storage cylinder. Such systems may be embodied in the form of a unitary apparatus including, but not exclusively, on-bench, under-bench or freestanding beverage cooling units. The invention may be embodied in the form of a beverage dispensing unit having a gas input connector configured to make gas tight connection to a gas container configured to hold a gas under pressure and a mass detection device. The gas input connector and mass detection device are arranged such that when a gas container is connected to the gas input connector, the mass detection device is capable of detecting a mass associated with the gas container. The unit may further have a gas container support extending from or about the mass detection device configured to maintain a gas container connected to the gas input connector in a position such that it bears on the mass detection device so as to allow the mass detection device to measure the mass of the gas container and any gas contained therein. Computer-implemented methods for monitoring the level of gas are also provided.

A computer-implemented method for execution by a processor of a computing device. The method comprises implementing a computerized graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a user of the computing device with an opportunity to identify a pharmaceutical compounding formula; consulting a database at least partly on a basis of the identified pharmaceutical compounding formula in order to determine mixing parameters for a planetary mixer, associated with the identified pharmaceutical compounding formula; and causing a mixer to subject a container to superimposed rotation and revolution movements in accordance with the mixing parameters determined from consulting the database.

A microbubble device controller includes a box, and a first water pipe, a gas pipe and a bypass pipe installed in the box. The first water pipe is connected to a pump and has a first electromagnetic control valve to open or close the first water pipe. The gas pipe is connected to a gas source and the pump, and has a second electromagnetic control valve to open or close the gas pipe. The bypass pipe is connected to the first water pipe and has a pressure switch in telecommunication connection with the second electromagnetic control valve. The first electromagnetic control valve controls the first water pipe to be in the high flow state or a closed state to affect the bypass pipe. When the bypass pipe is in a high pressure state, the second electromagnetic control valve opens the gas pipe, or closes the gas pipe otherwise.

A FirePOD provides a self-contained, portable, standalone fire protection system that enables property owners, firefighters or others to mix and apply fire-protective gel or foam to entities such as structures, vehicles, vegetation, etc., to protect those entities from wildfire events or other external fire incidents. In various implementations, the FirePOD includes a recirculation-based mixing system for combining a mixture comprising a powder, liquid, or gel-based Thermal Protective Substance (TPS) with a volume of water or other liquid to produce the fire-protective gel or foam. By applying reconfigurable valves, one or more pumps are applied to both recirculate the mixture and, when sufficiently mixed, apply the resulting fire-protective gel or foam via one or more hoses or other dispensing mechanisms. In various implementations, the FirePOD is movable, and is manually or automatically propelled to locations suitable for applying the fire-protective gel or foam.

An in-line gas liquid infusion smart system, featuring a controller having a signal processer configured to receive signaling containing information about parameters or settings related to dispensing a non-infused liquid and a gas-infused mixture of gas and liquid from a dispense point; and determine corresponding signaling containing information to dispense the non-infused liquid and the gas-infused mixture from the dispense point, and also containing further information about the parameters or settings for providing to a remote controller for controlling, monitoring or troubleshooting the in-line gas liquid infusion smart system, based upon the signaling received.

A decanting vessel has an internal pump for recirculating a beverage such as wine and aerating it within the decanter.
