Abstract: A system and method for transferring beverage such as wine from a source container to a destination container. First and second transfer heads can be configured to sealingly engage with an opening of source and destination containers, respectively. The container opening(s) can have a closure such as a cork or septum and the transfer heads can sealingly engage with the container opening without removing the closure, e.g., by passing one or more needles through the closure. The transfer heads and the source container can be held by a support, and the first transfer head can be mounted for pivotal movement relative to the support, e.g., about a horizontal axis, to accommodate differently sized and/or shaped containers. Pressurized gas, e.g., used to purge and/or pressurize the containers, and beverage flow can be routed from one of the transfer heads to the other.

Abstract: A sheet conveying device includes a sensor, a movement control portion, a detection processing portion, and a switching processing portion. The sensor detects a position in a width direction of a sheet conveyed by a pair of conveying members. The movement control portion controls the movement along the width direction of the pair of conveying members which is nipping the sheet, based on an amount of shift between the position detected by the sensor and a reference position. The detection processing portion detects a sheet size of the sheet. The switching processing portion switches between permitting and not permitting the movement of the pair of conveying members based on a sheet size associated with a sheet feed source and the sheet size detected by the detection processing portion.
