Abstract: A system can include a chamber to hold at least one vessel and an evaporator. The system can further include a first fan coupled to the chamber to move air from the chamber to the evaporator, the evaporator to chill the air moved by the first fan to provide chilled air and a second fan coupled to the chamber to move the chilled air into the chamber, the second fan positioned such that the chilled air is expelled onto the at least one vessel.

Abstract: A pour-in opening for a frozen drink maker is disclosed. The frozen drink maker includes a dasher configured to rotate within a mixing vessel about a center axis. The pour-in opening is positioned on a top rear portion of the mixing vessel. The pour-in opening includes a surface that inclines radially with respect to the center axis of the dasher and an aperture positioned on the surface in fluid communication with an interior of the mixing vessel.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner may include a suction motor, a body defining a filter cavity, the filter cavity being fluidly coupled to the suction motor and configured to receive a filter, a filter cover removably coupled to the body, the filter cover extending over at least a portion of the filter cavity, and a release configured to transition between a releasing position and a retaining position to removably couple the filter cover to the body. The release may include a body release portion, at least a portion of the body release portion being rotatably coupled to the body and a cover release portion, at least a portion of the cover release portion being slidably coupled to the filter cover, wherein a rotational movement of the body release portion causes a corresponding linear movement in the cover release portion to transition the release between the releasing position and the retaining position.

Abstract: A drink maker includes a mixing vessel arranged to receive a drink product and a dasher, driven by a drive motor, that is arranged to mix the drink product within the mixing vessel. A refrigeration circuit is arranged to cool the drink product within the mixing vessel. The refrigeration circuit includes a condenser. A cooling fan is configured to concurrently cool the drive motor and the condenser.

Abstract: Various illustrative systems, devices, and methods for face masks are provided. In general, a face mask is configured to provide light therapy to a user wearing the face mask. In an exemplary implementation, the face mask includes a light assembly configured to apply light therapy to a user wearing the face mask. The light assembly includes a plurality of lights, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), configured to emit light and thereby provide light therapy to the user's face. The face mask also includes a protective member configured to protect the user's eyes from the light emitted by the lights. The protective member is configured to form a seal against the face of the user wearing the face mask and is configured to dynamically conform to a user's face.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to portable storage containers. In some embodiments, a portable storage container may comprise an first storage area, the first storage area having an outer wall comprising a first insulator; a second storage area, the second storage area having an outer wall comprising a second insulator; a separator between a bottom surface of the first storage area and an upper surface of the second storage area, wherein the separator is liquid-resistant and thermally conductive; an upper cover; and a lower cover.

Abstract: Various illustrative systems, devices, and methods for beverage systems are provided. In general, a beverage system is configured to form a beverage and dispense the beverage into a container, such as a bottle, a cup, or other container. The beverage system can be a carbonation system configured to form a carbonated fluid and dispense the carbonated fluid into a container. In an exemplary embodiment, the beverage system includes a multi-purpose valve configured to control the dispensing of the carbonated fluid and to control venting of gas.

Abstract: In an aspect, data characterizing a plurality of measurements of a rate of energy supplied to an igniter of a smoke unit and of a temperature of a region proximate the igniter, acquired during a predetermined period of time of igniter activation, can be received. A maximum time of igniter activation can be determined based on an average rate of energy supplied to the igniter and an average temperature of the region proximate the igniter. Whether a total length of time, during which the igniter is activated and during a subsequent period of time, exceeds the maximum time of activation can be determined, and the igniter can be deactivated in response to determining that the total length of the time exceeds the determined maximum time of activation.
