Abstract: Photo booth systems and methods of using photo booth systems, such as those that provide photo booths and interaction between the photo booths and one or more user groups.

Abstract: A photography studio includes a stationary circular track surrounding a product setup location, such as a stationary circular platform, an upright curved wall defining a studio backdrop and at least partially surround the platform, a front curved overhead member mounted across a side opening in the wall, and a plurality of spaced apart rollers rotatably mounted on a lower end portion of the wall and engaged with the track so as to mount the wall upon the track for undergoing revolvable movement along the track and about the platform to relocate the side opening of the wall at any selected angular position in relation to the platform. The upright curved wall includes a plurality of curved panels assembled to one another side-to-side and top-to-bottom so as to provide the studio backdrop.

Abstract: A system for capturing images in a booth. The system includes a network, a server communicatively coupled to the network, the server comprising a database operable to store images. The system further includes a booth communicatively coupled to the network, the booth comprising an input device operable to receive one or more inputs from a user, a camera operable to capture one or more images of the user, a display operable to present the one or more images, and a booth computer operable to transmit the one or more images to the server.

Abstract: A security barrier includes a horizontal composite beam extending across a roadway is mounted between vertical posts at either end of the beam. Hydraulic cylinders fastened at each beam end and to the vertical posts cause the beam to be raised and lowered, as needed. When the beam is at its lowest position, it allows for the normal flow of traffic over the top of the beam. When the beam is in its fully-raised position, it provides a vehicle barrier thirty-six inches above grade. A hydraulic power unit and components control the direction and speed of beam movement. The security barrier also includes electronic control and monitoring of the beam, and hydraulic system.

Abstract: A beverage dispenser for dispensing a beverage syrup or concentrate and a mixing liquid at a specified ratio has an ice bin which is divided into a front section and a rear section. A cold plate is located at the bottom of the front section. Either or both the mixing liquid or the beverage syrup or concentrate is circuitously routed through the cold plate prior to being dispensed. Portions of the rear section are partitioned off from the front section in order to reduce the total overall capacity of the ice bin. The partitioning of the rear section is accomplished by using shields which are located by flanges. The flanges extend inward from the walls of the ice bin into the front or rear sections of the ice bin.

Abstract: A cooling system for dispensing beverages is provided having a tubular tub open at the top and bottom and adapted to receive a cold plate. The cold plate has cooling coils cast within it and is easily disassembled from the tub. The tub has a ledge near the bottom. The ledge features a groove for holding a gasket, and a channel for receiving threaded lugs. The cooling plate has bolt holes which correspond to the lugs. Bolts are inserted through the cooling plate and into the lugs. Tightening the bolts creates a watertight seal between the plate and the tub. The present cooling system is thus readily disassembled for ease of repair.

Abstract: An improved cold plate (10) is disclosed for use in cooling carbonated water and syrup which is mixed to form a beverage. The cooling coil (10) employs a plurality of involute carbonated water cooling coils (12-16) formed of tubing through which is flowed the carbonated water. The use of involute coils provides a more uniform thermal gradient within the cold plate (10) and resists bridging of the cooling medium, typically ice. The syrup cooling coils (18-28) can be constructed in either a serpentine or involute configuration.

Abstract: A dispensing valve mechanism includes means for automatically maintaining a constant flow of fluid through a flow channel under varying fluid source pressure utilizes a piston movable within a chamber in response to fluid pressure to regulate the available flow area of a single outlet port in the chamber. The piston is sized to permit fluid flow around the periphery of the piston, and may have an axial flow path therethrough to serve as the primary flow path through the valve mechanism. A spring yieldably opposes axial movement of the piston that would tend to decrease the effective area of the chamber outlet port. An adjustment screw is carried in the valve body for adjusting the force exerted by the spring. The valve is particularly suited for use in liquid dispensing apparatus.

Abstract: Tally means for a liquid dispenser which selectively draws measured quantities of liquor for discharge through a discharge sprout. A liquid pressure responsive sensor is connected to the discharge line and is responsive only to passage of liquid. The sensor has a chamber with a diaphragm closing one end. A chamber inlet, larger than the outlet, leads through the end closed by the diaphragm. Because of differential in orifice size, liquid accumulates in the chamber causing the diaphragm to deflect but not respond to air flow. A piston in the chamber is moved by the diaphragm to actuate a tally apparatus to provide both printed record and a display of the number of drinks dispensed.
