  • Patent number: 10959446
    Abstract: Methods, processes, apparatus, devices, kits and systems for crystallizing liquid to form slush inside of supercooled to below 32 F closed beverage bottles or cans, beverages in fountain dispensers, desserts, and food items by transmitting ultrasonic signals in short time spans, while allowing for optional illuminating the effects when the supercooled liquid is crystallized into slush.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170283675
    Abstract: Methods, processes, compositions, apparatus, kits and systems for chilling and cooling beverages and desserts to selected desired temperatures by adding the beverages and desserts to different mixtures of brine solutions and bags of loose ice. The invention forms and creates an aqueous solution composition of certain salinity of ice-melter (such as sodium chloride ‘salt’ and/or calcium chloride, or different mixtures of deionized water with calcium chloride and magnesium chloride). The composition is poured in a pre-defined amount evenly over a known amount of bagged-ice in a cooler. The result is a precisely controlled and evenly distributed temperature (within a few degrees Fahrenheit) can be obtained within the ice-solution mixture. Next, canned and bottled beverages (and other items) can be submerged in the precision controlled temperature ice-solution mixture to create certain desired effects only possible by chilling items to a known temperature below 32 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20170210963
    Abstract: Cooling solutions and liquid compositions for rapid chilling of foods, desserts and beverages and methods and processes for making the cooling solutions and compositions, where the solutions and liquid compositions are chilled in a refrigerated holding tank until a set temperature is reached followed by moving covered foods, desserts and containers holding beverages that are immersed into the tank, and subsequently evenly chilled to a selected temperature. Precisely controlled and evenly distributed temperature (within a few degrees Fahrenheit) can be obtained within the novel cooling solution and liquid composition.
