Abstract: A system to brew a liquid is provided. The system includes a container with a brewing chamber, which receives a volume of liquid to allow for extracting a soluble substance to form a solution within the liquid. A basket is configured to be received within an internal volume of the container, the basket includes an upper sealing region and an extended portion, the extended portion includes a plurality of holes therethrough. A lid rests upon an upper surface of the container, the lid includes a center hole therethrough, the upper sealing region of the basket rests upon the lid. An assembly is removably mounted with respect to the basket, the assembly comprises a pump, suction inlet, and a fluid outlet, wherein the suction inlet is fluidly connected to a suction of the pump and the fluid outlet is fluidly connected to the outlet of the pump.

Abstract: An automated beer-brewing system and method includes plural brewing containers, supply containers, and post-beer brewing containers to bottle the brewed beer and to handle waste fluids and solids. Plural pipes couple the brewing containers to the group of post-beer-brewing containers and beer-brewing containers. Plural brew-cycle control valves are coupled to each of the pipes, to locate all of the control valves in a central region of the system.

Abstract: A brewing system may include a first container defining an interior space for brewing a liquid. The first container may include a plurality of legs extending from a lower portion of the first container, and a lid removably connectable to an upper opening of the first container. The first container may be stackable on an identical second container such that the plurality of legs of the first container are seated in one or more slots on opposing sides of a lid of the identical second container.

Abstract: A monitor-mounting system for a headrest of a land vehicle includes a bushing subsystem constructed to be coupled to the headrest; and a monitor-mounting plate constructed to be coupled to the bushing subsystem. The monitor-mounting region extends outwardly of the headrest and is constructed for fixedly receiving a monitor. The headrest is constructed with dual posts and dual post guides, and the bushing system is constructed with dual bushings, each being constructed to couple to a corresponding one of the dual post guides, or to a corresponding one of the posts.

Abstract: A stowable support system having an arm and an attachment member pivotal through a plurality of angular positions relative to the arm. The arm includes a follower assembly with a surface portion of a first contour, with the attachment member including a surface portion of a second contour that is cooperative to the first contour. A rest position is defined by at least one of the plurality of angular positions, in which the surface portions of the follower assembly and attachment member are in mating contact. The follower assembly and attachment member are biased toward engagement with each other, with at least one of the attachment member and the follower assembly being configured to be resiliently deformed when the attachment member is pivoted out of the rest position.

Abstract: A ceiling-mountable display monitor system for the passenger compartment of a vehicle. The display monitor system includes a display monitor coupled to a housing assembly. In one exemplary embodiment, the housing assembly is selectively adjustable for mounting in different vehicles having different ceiling configurations. In another exemplary embodiment, an upper portion of the housing assembly is mountable above the vehicle headliner, while a lower portion of the housing assembly is mountable below the headliner. Optionally, the upper and lower portions of the housing assembly clamp onto the headliner. The upper and/or the lower portions may be adjustable for mounting in different vehicles.

Abstract: A composite liquid crystal electroluminescent electro-optical display device utilizing single-cell construction. Backlighting is furnished by a low-intensity, low-power-consumption integrally formed electroluminescent light source cooperating with a liquid crystal element with commonly excited electrodes. The integral electro-luminescent light source replaces the requirement for a transflector. The invention offers substantially improved contrast while minimizing physical size, power dissipation and construction complexity.
