Publication number: 20210274959Abstract: A beverage dispensing system that can dispense both cold and hot drinks from either cold drink capsules or hot drink capsules. The cold or hot drink capsule is inserted into the system, and the lid is manually closed. if a cold drink capsule has been inserted, a mechanism cracks the capsule along a predetermined seam, injects cold mixing fluid into the capsule, and then rotates the capsule to pour out or further flush out the cold drink into a cup. If a hot drink capsule has been inserted, the lid is closed, and a rotating needle pierces the top of the capsule. The capsule is then punctured from the bottom. Hot water can then be injected into the top of the capsule, and the hot drink can be removed from the bottom into a cup.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: La Vit Technology LLCInventors: Gian Matteo Lo Faro, Alan M.

Patent number: 10278622Abstract: The object of the invention is a device that allows measuring blood sugar levels in mammals—primarily humans—by measuring the refraction of electromagnetic radiation from the skin or body tissue, without the need for invasive sampling, such as penetrating or pricking the skin. The device uses the blue light portion of the visible spectrum and near-infrared (IR) radiation as a source of electromagnetic radiation. The device falls within the field of medical diagnostics and is essentially designed to be portable, so that the users can wear it on their wrists, for example. The signals of reflected light/radiation measured by the sensor unit are filtered by the frequency filtering set and mathematically processed in order to Calculate the current blood sugar level. The accuracy of the measurement result of the device is comparable to the results obtained with the standard method of measuring by blood sampling. A method for measuring of blood sugar level using said device is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: DIA-VIT LTD.Inventors: Zoran Arko, Tadej Tofant
