Abstract: A blender using different charging modes with wireless charging is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a base assembly, a container assembly, an electrical motor, a blending component, a control interface, blending control circuitry, charging control circuitry, and/or other components. The base component may include a rechargeable battery and a wireless charging interface. The charging control circuitry may be configured to make different types of detections related to the availability and/or usage of electrical power and related to the usage and alignment of the wireless charging interface with an external charging structure. The charging control circuitry may conduct electrical power to the rechargeable battery using at least two different charging modes, thus providing different amounts of electrical power to the rechargeable battery in different charging modes.

Abstract: A drinking lid is disclosed herein. Exemplary implementations may include a stationary portion and a spinning portion. The stationary portion includes a drinking opening. The spinning portion is rotatably coupled to the stationary portion. The spinning portion is configured to be positioned in a position in which the drinking opening is covered such that the drinking lid is spill-resistant. The spinning portion is further configured to be positioned in a different position that leaves the drinking opening uncovered or open.

Abstract: A blender with a display panel is provided to effectuate presentations of visual content. Exemplary implementations may: receive a first type of user input through the control interface; make detections regarding the user input received through the control interface; effectuate presentation of visual content on the display panel, responsive to a first detection of the first type of detections; and/or perform other operations.

Abstract: A refill station for refillable carbonation containers is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a refill station housing, a refill tank, a control interface, a conduit, a controllable refill valve, and/or other components. The refill tank of the refill station holds a pressurized liquid, such as CO2. The refill station housing holds a carbonation container, such as a bottle, which includes a container tank. A user can control filling or refilling the container tank from the refill tank.

Abstract: A blender using different modes of operation is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a base assembly, a container assembly, a blending component, a control interface, control circuitry, and/or other components. The control interface includes a button configured to be pushed by the user, which controls transitions between the different blending modes of operation and a ready-to-blend mode. Rotation of the blending component is controlled through the control circuitry.

Abstract: A refillable carbonation container is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a base, a tank, a container body, a dispenser, and/or other components. The tank holds a pressurized liquid, such as CO2. The container body holds a potable liquid, such as water. The dispenser dispenses the pressurized liquid from the tank into the potable liquid, which provides carbonation of the potable liquid.

Abstract: A blender using different power modes is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a base assembly, a container assembly, an electrical motor, a blending component, a control interface, control circuitry, and/or other components. The control circuitry may be configured to make different types of detections related to the availability and/or usage of electrical power, and may control the electrical motor using at least two different power modes of operation, thus providing different amounts of power to the electrical motor in different power modes of operation.
