Abstract: A carbonation machine may include a carbonation head, a holder that is configured to hold a gas canister, the holder comprising a connector with a socket configured to enable linear insertion of a valve of the canister into the socket, the socket including a seal with at least one lateral opening to enable fluidic flow between one or more laterally oriented ports of the valve and a conduit of the holder while preventing leakage of gas from the fluidic flow, and a holding mechanism configured to hold a lateral projection from the canister after insertion of the valve into the socket such that the valve remains in the socket, and an activation mechanism configured to operate the valve to release the gas from the canister when inserted into the socket so as to enable the gas to flow via the conduit to the carbonation head.

Abstract: In a broadcast/multicast IP distribution network for reliable transfer of data/media from at least one transmitter to at least one receiver, the network having a system for generic IP error correction of packets sent in a data/media stream, the system comprising: a probe device configured to send packetized data in the data/media stream to one of a plurality of recovery servers, the probe device associated with the at least one transmitter; a detection device for packet loss detection, the detection device associated with the at least one receiver, the detection device adapted to send a missing packet request to the plurality of recover servers upon detecting a missing packet; and a message communication between the detection device and the plurality of recovery servers, the message communication including packet loss event notification messages with respective messages indicative of at least one missing packet in the data/media stream that did not reach the detection device; wherein the data/media stream is

Abstract: A system for data recovery using non-intrusive terrestrial and broad band connectivity of transmission of a data stream, the system having an IP distribution network for transferring the data stream from a sender to a plurality of receivers, the system having: a transmission center receiving the data stream from the sender and sending a continuous IP data stream to the IP distribution network and sending a broadcast data stream to a broadcast network; at least one registered/assigned recovery server connected to the IP distribution network and assigned to at least one of the plurality of receivers, the at least one recovery server receiving a protected IP stream from the transmission center; at least one of the plurality of receivers sending a recovery request to at least one recovery server when the respective receiver detects an erroneous/missing packet; and wherein the protected IP stream is encapsulated into RTP in the transmission center and the at least one recovery server sends a recovery data stream t

Abstract: A system for broadcast data recovery of data stream transmission, the system having a broadcast distribution network transferring the data stream from a sender to a plurality of receivers, the system having: a transmission center receiving the data stream from the sender and sending stamped RTP packets in an IP reference RTP stream to the IP distribution network and sending stamped RTP packets as an RTP broadcast data stream to a broadcast network, the broadcast network including: a satellite and an RF link; at least one registered/assigned recovery server connected to the IP distribution network and assigned to the plurality of receivers, the at least one recovery server receiving a protected IP stream from the transmission center; the plurality of receivers sending a recovery request to the at least one recovery server when the respective receiver detects an erroneous/missing packet; and wherein the at least one recovery server then sends a recovery data stream to the at least one of the plurality of receiv
