Abstract: A retractable projection screen having a projection screen surface, a lower batten fixed adjacent the bottom of the projection screen surface, an upper batten fixed adjacent the top of the projection screen surface, a winch mandrel, a cable adapted to be fixed to the upper batten and wound around the winch mandrel and an outer roller on which the projection screen surface is wound. An electric motor is coupled to the winch mandrel to rotate the mandrel, thereby raising and lowering the projection screen surface.

Abstract: A smoothie dispenser (20, 20S, 20A) comprises a frame (22); a smoothie receptacle storage section (24); and a receptacle conformed chiller section (26). The smoothie receptacle storage section (24) is provided within the frame (22) and configured to house plural smoothie receptacles (30) at a first temperature. The chiller section (26) is arranged to receive a selected smoothie receptacle released from the smoothie receptacle storage section and configured to crystallize contents of the selected smoothie receptacle. The receptacle conformed chiller section (26) is “receptacle conformed” in the sense that a surface of the chiller section is configured to conform to (e.g., have a surface of shape to mate with or to form substantially greater than linear contact with) at least a portion an exterior profile or periphery of the selected smoothie receptacle.
