Abstract: An infant feeding device intended for oral feeding of premature infants. The device is adapted to regulate the flow of fluid fed to the infant. The device may also be adapted to receive and record data relevant to each feeding session. The device further includes disposable components that are appropriate for contact with human milk and formula.

Abstract: A baby bottle, an insert for a baby bottle, a baby bottle including an insert, and a method of feeding an infant that serves to pace the infant's feeding rhythm. Generally, these devices and methods will be of use for a preterm infant who lacks coordination of the suck-swallow-breathe synchrony, but can also be used with full term infants who can benefit from rigid control of the flow of milk from a bottle, this includes, but is not limited to, infants with gastroesophageal reflux who can require pacing of feeds to allow for gastric emptying. The device generally cues the infant to swallow and breathe after each 1-4 sucks by stopping the flow of the fluid from the bottle after the infant has sucked sufficiently or a predetermined period of time has passed. Once the baby breathes or a period of time passes, the bottle resets for the next repetition. The device also serves to consistently slow the flow of milk during oral feeding.

Abstract: A baby bottle, a flow control for a baby bottle, a baby bottle, including a flow control system, and a method of feeding an infant that serves to pace the infant's feeding rhythm.

The device generally regulates the flow of the fluid from the bottle as desired by the feeder. The device also serves to consistently slow the flow of milk during oral feeding.

Abstract: A spike for dispensing fluids from a flexible bag, wherein the spike includes multiple fluid channels which transfer liquids from the bag to an enclosed dispensing chamber and air from the enclosed chamber to the bag to permit and control fluid flow within the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dispensing chilled wine using a dispensing appliance. The appliance generally comprises a housing or enclosure protecting internal components and providing a chilled chamber for wine storage and an unchilled chamber for electric and other components. An airtight wine “silo” containing a packaged wine is insertable into a cradle in the chilled chamber for attaching to a fluid connector system. The user operates a handle to control wine flow. Identifiers on the silo may be read and transmitted to a server, where learning algorithms can suggest alternative wines the user may like based on user feedback about prior wines used with the appliance.

Abstract: A container for the storage, transport and consumption of a carbonated beverage, and specifically a carbonated malt beverage such as, but not limited to, beer, which utilizes a flexible inner container and a rigid outer container (often a wall of the dispenser) which is presented in generally close proximity thereto by having inner dimensions similar to the outer dimensions of the internal bag. In order to dispense the beverage, an external source of gas, which will commonly be carbon dioxide or nitrogen, is used to feed gas directly into the flexible container portion of the device and the beverage itself. This causes the interior container to push against the rigid walls of the exterior container creating pressure and dispensing the beverage.

Abstract: A system for dispensing fluids wherein a support structure holds bulk fluid contained within a bag that is transferred from the bag to an enclosed chamber in a dispensing base, from which chamber the fluid is dispensed, via a puncturing device utilizing multiple spikes. After dispensing air pressure in the enclosed chamber is equalized with the air pressure acting on the bulk fluid by at least one of the spikes.
