  • Patent number: 11440788
    Abstract: A tap for dispensing a beverage. The tap includes: a tap body defining a beverage outlet and including a closure member seat; a closure member movably disposed within the tap body and including a head movable into sealing engagement with the closure member seat, wherein the head has a streamlined configuration and the closure member seat is intermediate the closure member and the beverage outlet; and an externally operable actuator operationally coupled to the closure member.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10970047
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) of a host obtaining, from a client, via a communication connection over a network, a request to commit a modified version of program source code to a repository administered by the host. The processor(s) identify formatting in the modified version implemented by an editor executing on the client and remove the formatting. The processor(s) transform the modified version into a first storage structure that includes content of the modified version without the identified formatting. The processor(s) identify one or more differences between the first storage structure representing the modified version and a second storage structure (an unmodified version of the program source code stored in the repository). The processor(s) store the one or more differences in the repository.

  • Patent number: 10434488
    Abstract: Methane may be dissociated at low temperatures and/or pressures utilizing a reactor designed to generate shockwaves in a supersonic gaseous vortex. Within a preprocessing chamber, the methane may be pressurized to a pressure of 700 kPa or more, and heated to a temperature below a dissociation temperature of methane. The methane may be introduced as a gas stream substantially tangentially to an inner surface of a chamber of the reactor to effectuate a gaseous vortex rotating about a longitudinal axis within the chamber. The gas stream may be introduced using a nozzle that accelerates the gas stream to a supersonic velocity. A frequency of shockwaves emitted from the nozzle into the gaseous vortex may be controlled. Product gas and carbon byproduct may be emitted from the chamber of the reactor. The carbon byproduct may be separated out from the product gas using a gas/solid separator.
