Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure could generally provide a relatively easily squeezable beverage bottle that allows control of the flow rate of the liquid being dispensed to the user. The bottle could provide sufficient radial rigidity—or resistance to squeezing—to return to its original shape (or “bounce back”) at a suitable rate without experiencing permanent deformation or denting and to withstand the rigors of filling, shipping, transporting, dispensing, etc. The present disclosure generally provides a beverage bottle filtering system that provides adequate filtering of water taken from the bottle at a suitable rate. In one embodiment, the present disclosure could include a support system to adequately secure the filter media within a filter housing while ensuring a sufficient compression fit and seal of filter media within filter system to eliminate “bypass flow” (i.e., water that might leak past filter system) and prevent consumption of unfiltered water.

Abstract: A fiber termination point arrangement (100) including an enclosure (110) and a storage member (130). The enclosure (110) holds at least one optical adapter having an external port. The storage member (130) includes a rearwardly facing cable spool (135). The fiber termination point arrangement (100) mounts over a wall outlet so that the cable spool (135) is hidden from view. The fiber termination point arrangement (100) has a rear input port that enables a cable or fiber to enter the fiber termination point arrangement (100) from the rear (e.g., at the cable spool) without extending beyond the boundaries of the fiber termination point arrangement (100) when routed from the wall outlet.

Abstract: Freezing and desorption method by inert gas for the separation of non-volatile and volatile aromatic compounds from wine raw material, particularly the aromatic compounds determining the aroma and flavor of final products, and the subsequent blending of fractions for the preparation of beverages with the required parameters. It is thus possible to prepare non-alcoholic (<0.5% vol. alc.) and low alcoholic (<5% vol. alc.) beverages with non-volatile and volatile aromatic compounds comparable to their content in the original wine raw material, which is not possible by the individual utilization of the given methods. By utilization of this solution it is possible to prepare also alcoholic beverages with alcohol levels higher than 5% vol.

A blade with a sharp edge is fixed with the housing such that the blade extends through one of the longitudinal ends, and the blade is fixed with the housing in such a manner that it is non-movable relative to the housing. A blade protector is partially disposed in the open interior of the housing and is movable in the longitudinal direction relative to the housing between a retracted position and a covering position. In the retracted position, the sharp edge of the blade outside of the housing is exposed for cutting, and in the covering position, the sharp edge of the blade outside of the housing is covered by the blade protector.

Abstract: A printhead cleaning system includes a wiper assembly configured for putting a printhead wiper in contact with the printhead. A solvent container is configured for providing solvent to the printhead wiper. A lateral feed mechanism is coupled to the printhead and the wiper assembly, and is configured for driving the wiper assembly in reciprocating motion along the printhead. The cleaning cycle can be started when a predetermined condition (such as a number of operations) is reached. A method for printhead cleaning can include starting a cleaning cycle by lifting a printhead from a printing position once a number of printing operations reaches a predetermined value, and transporting a cleaning assembly along the printhead for a predetermined time duration or number of passes, while providing contact between the cleansing applicator and the printhead.

Abstract: Food products and systems and methods for their production involve microfiltration (“MF”) of fluid skim to form a MF retentate, combining the MF retentate with cream and subjecting the combination to ultrafiltration (“UF”) to form a UF retentate. Prior to UF, the composition is formed of non-acidified components. Following UF, the UF retentate is acidified and forms a food product including a high solids content. The solids content may be further increased using evaporation. The resulting cheese or cheese base contains a lower whey protein ratio in a fat:casein:whey protein ratio compared to systems and methods that do not employ MF.
