Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a water filter mount for a beverage dispenser. The water filter mount releasably mounts a water filter to the beverage dispenser using a rotating motion that does not require any tools. Aspects of the present disclosure also include a gas cylinder mount for a beverage dispenser. The gas cylinder mount releasably mounts a water filter to the beverage dispenser using a rotating motion that does not require any tools. Aspects of the present disclosure also include a concentrate vial mount for a beverage dispenser. The concentrate vial releasably mounts a water filter to the beverage dispenser using a rotating motion that does not require any tools.

Abstract: A manifold assembly (600) of a spraying apparatus (400), for example for treating plant matter, for coupling the spraying apparatus to a reservoir of liquid concentrate comprising: ?a first layer (602) and a second layer (604): ?a fluid port (606), located in the second layer (604), for receiving liquid concentrate from a cartridge (200) comprising a reservoir of liquid concentrate; ?a fluid inlet (608), located in the first layer (602), for receiving water from the spraying apparatus (400); and ?a fluid outlet (610), located in the first layer (602), for outputting a mixture of water and liquid concentrate to the spraying apparatus (400); wherein the manifold assembly (600) comprises a flow path between the fluid inlet (608) and the fluid outlet (610), and wherein the flow path between the fluid inlet (608) and the fluid outlet (610) includes a mixing section (612) fluidly connected to the fluid port (606) and configured to mix liquid concentrate received from the fluid port (606) with water received at the

Abstract: A surgical system for selective connection to a robotic arm includes an instrument drive unit and a surgical instrument detachably coupled to the instrument drive unit. The instrument drive unit includes a first actuator, a linkage member having opposing first and second portions, and a drive member. The first portion of the linkage member is operatively coupled to the first actuator such that actuation of the first actuator moves the first portion in a first direction and the second portion in a second direction opposite of the first direction. The drive member is operatively coupled to the second portion of the linkage member. The surgical instrument includes a driven member operatively associated with the drive member of the instrument drive unit and an end effector operatively coupled with the driven member, wherein translation of the driven member effects a first function of the end effector.

Abstract: Therapy patches are disclosed which are designed to deliver vibration and heat (or cold) to human skin so as to provide muscle relief. These patches have a chemical pouch that generates heat or cold upon initiation. They also have a motor and battery to provide a vibration source. Forms of the invention have an adhesive so that the patch can be attached to the skin (and thus need not be manually held in place during use). Kits are also provided in which the motor and battery can be used with a string of linked, severable replacement pouches. Methods of using these patches are also disclosed.
