Abstract: A beverage ingredient pod for releasing beverage ingredients into a bottle to create a mixed beverage includes a liquid-ingredient chamber, a solid-ingredient chamber, a frangible membrane between and separating the liquid-ingredient chamber and the solid-ingredient chamber, and a rigid piercer that extends to a point toward the frangible membrane. Upon a force applied to the beverage ingredient pod, a portion of the pod collapses and drives the rigid piercer through the frangible membrane. This mixes contents of the liquid-ingredient chamber with contents of the solid-ingredient chamber and releases the mixed contents from the beverage ingredient pod into a bottle below that is filled with a liquid, creating a mixed beverage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solenoid valve for a brake system which has a simple structure, thereby being capable of achieving easy machining and assembly and reducing cost. The solenoid valve includes a sleeve fitted in a modulator block, an armature slidably disposed in the sleeve, a magnet core fitted in the sleeve at one side of the sleeve, to generate an electromagnetic force causing the armature to slide, a seat housing fitted in the sleeve at the other side of the sleeve and formed with oil inlet and outlet passages, and a valve seat disposed within the seat housing and formed with an orifice to be opened or closed in accordance with sliding of the armature. The armature includes a shim core disposed in the armature, to prevent generation of a residual electromagnetic force. The shim core is protruded toward the magnet core beyond the armature.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device that prevents corrosion of a signal line in the device, a plurality of signal lines are provided at the inner side of a cutting line on a substrate. A shorting bar is provided at the outer side of the cutting line. A connection line connects the signal lines to the shorting bar in such a manner to cross the cutting line. Thus, the signal line is connected to the shorting bar with the aid of the connection line formed from a transparent conductive material at an area corresponding to the cutting line of a lower substrate. The connection line is exposed when the lower substrate is cut along the cutting line, so that corrosion of the signal line can be prevented.
