Abstract: A method and apparatus is taught to help infants change diets. An absorbent pad having an odorant is placed on a baby bottle so as to be near the baby's nose when ingesting. First the odorant is paired to a flavored diet of the baby. Then the odorant is coupled to a novel diet which the baby is not so fond of. The result is the baby ingests more than usual of the novel diet. Other aspects include a flavor ring on a baby bottle or a bowl and a plurality of flavor dots on a baby bottle or bowl. The inventive concept of placing a pleasing odorant near a user's nose during drinking can help babies, elderly people and even pets ingest more fluids.

Abstract: A cable drive mechanism is provided for causing and controlling movement of a tool carriage in three axis of a large format, light duty, numerically controlled tool suitable for machining goods. The shaft of a carriage-mounted motor serves as a capstan for two opposing loops of a continuous flexible steel cable. Each loop encircles 180 .degree. of motor shaft after having passed from the carriage to a pulley at one end of the axis and returning, then passing to a second pulley at the same end before passing the length of the axis to a pulley at the opposite end and to the second loop encircling the motor shaft. Such a cable drive system, in conjunction with a control and feedback means, provides an economical means to control movement of the tool carriage in 3 dimensions with accuracy suitable for woodworking with the ability to machine sheet goods such as plywood. The continuous cable loop system with carriage mounted motor provides symmetrical drive power irrespective of the position of the carriage.
