Abstract: In a beverage pod arranged for use in a beverage forming machine to make a beverage, the beverage pod has a container with an interior space, and with a beverage material located in the interior space. The beverage material is usable to form a beverage by interaction of the beverage material with a pressurized liquid introduced into the interior space upon initiation of a mixing process. The beverage pod further includes a turbulent flow creating structure in the interior space to cause mixing of the beverage material and pressurized liquid relative to the container, in response to a pattern of water jets exiting the turbulent flow creating structure so as to saturate and mix the beverage material.

Abstract: A sharpening device for the blade of a tool such as a chisel or plane is in two parts. The first is a jig into which the blade is inserted with its tapered end projecting some distance beyond the jig. This distance is related to the angle to which the blade is to be sharpened. The second part is a marked reference member which is brought into a position alongside the jig. The blade is advanced through the jig until its tip reaches a marking on the reference member corresponding to the required sharpening angle for the tool. The tool is then clamped in the jig. The jig incorporates a roller which rolls on the sharpening stone while the tapered tip of the blade is sharpened by contact with the stone.

Abstract: An infrared energy and ultraviolet radiation absorbing green-colored high total iron containing soda-lime-silica glass batch includes typical soda-lime-silica glass batch ingredients, an ultraviolet radiation absorbing quantity of a cerium containing compound, a high amount of total iron, and a surprisingly small amount of carbon which eliminates silica scum formation in the melt and silica inclusion faults in the finished glass.
