Abstract: This disclosure provides example methods, devices, and systems for an ultra-miniature, multi-hole flow angle probe. The construction, packaging of a multitude of absolute and or differential pressure transducers or sensors are invented for the purpose of providing highly accurate measurement of flow properties, flow angle in particular. The unique placement of sensors leads to further miniaturization relative to current state of the art. Further the use of closely coupled, differential transducer or transducers achieves higher accuracy measurement of small pressure variations coupled with large mean or average baseline pressures, as is demanded in modern aerodynamic or turbo-machinery devices. The use and installation of ultra-miniature sensors insider the device invented herein achieves higher frequency response than allowable via previous state of the part.

Abstract: An insert for use in a beverage preparation machine of a type comprising a brew head comprising an upwardly directed inlet for supplying water to the brew head and a downwardly directed outlet for outflow of beverage produced by the machine. The insert comprises, or is adapted to contain in use, a quantity of beverage ingredients in a brewing volume. A lower surface of the insert comprises an inlet and an outlet arranged to communicate respectively with the inlet and outlet of the brew head of the beverage preparation machine when the insert is inserted into the machine such that, in use, water from the inlet of the brew head passes upwardly through the inlet of the insert into the brewing volume and such that beverage produced from the water and the quantity of beverage ingredients passes downwardly through the outlet of the insert to flow out of the outlet of the brew head.

Abstract: A cartridge containing one or more beverage ingredients and being formed from substantially air- and water-impermeable materials, said cartridge comprising an inlet for the introduction of an aqueous medium into the cartridge, and an outlet for a beverage produced from said one or more beverage ingredients, wherein said cartridge comprises an outer member, an inner member inserted in the outer member and means for producing a jet of the beverage, wherein said means for producing the jet of the beverage comprises an aperture in a beverage flow path linking the inlet to the outlet, characterized in that the aperture is delimited by an interface between the inner member and the outer member.
