Abstract: A beverage production system, comprising a cup dispensing station configured to dispense cups, a beverage dispensing station configured to dispense a beverage, and a turntable assembly. The turntable assembly comprising a central axis, an inner turntable including a first row of cup receptacles, and an outer turntable including a second row of cup receptacles. The outer turntable is disposed circumferentially about the inner turntable, and the outer turntable is configured to rotate about the central axis to align the cup receptacles of the second row with the cup dispensing station and the beverage dispensing station. The turntable assembly is configured to align an opening in a cup receptacle in the second row with an opening in a cup receptacle in the first row. A slide assembly includes an arm configured to slide a cup positioned in the cup receptacle in the second row into the aligned opening of the cup receptacle in the first row.

Abstract: A rotary geared actuator for pivotally connecting a flap to a wing of an aircraft, includes at least two adjacent actuator slices rotatably coupled together, each actuator slice including a sun gear rotatably coupled to a drive shaft and having gear teeth with a curved profile to enable movement of the actuator slices with respect to each other in conformance with bending of the wing, planetary gears in surrounding and meshing engagement with the gear teeth of the sun gear, a movable ring gear in surrounding and meshing engagement with the planetary gears, and a fixed ring gear in surrounding and meshing engagement with the planetary gears on opposite sides of the movable ring gear, each fixed ring gear being in meshing engagement only with planetary gears of one actuator slice; at least one fixed side tie bar connecting each fixed ring gear with the wing; at least one movable flap side tie bar connecting each movable ring gear with the flap; securing pins for securing each fixed side tie bar to one fixed rin
