Abstract: A rotary filling machine having a rotating platform with stations on which bottles are supported for filling with liquid dispensed through filling head assemblies at each individual station. A master electronic circuit mounted on the rotating platform is connected to separate station electronic circuits for distribution of selected electronic signals received from a non-traveling, settable circuit. Each electronic circuit compares the signal corresponding to the sensed extent of fill determined by a sheer beam strain gauge load cell at each station and provides an electrical signal to the valve control in response to the comparison to cause the valve to close to stop filling the container at the station.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a collector designed and positioned for installations within a predetermined range of latitudes without modification of collector position, construction, or tracking the sun's movement, and comprises a generator of hot or cold fluid by solar energy collection during the day to heat the fluid and/or chilling of the fluid at nocturnal nighttime.
