Patent number: 12084251Abstract: A holder assembly configured to hold a scoop within an inside of a container at a height above the level of a substance. The holder assembly comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a stem that may be provided with a height according to the geometry of the intended container. The second portion comprises a plurality of stems cooperatively configured and dimensioned to retain the scoop disposed in an inverted position. The segments are connected to the stem at a junction and should be disposed in a spaced apart relation to one another collectively defining a gap for the scoop wall(s). The segments should be movable away from the gap and comprise an inherent tendency to return to their natural position that generates a force that retains the scoop in place.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2023Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Grand Marlin Capital, LLCInventors: Jared Peter Grandy, Zachary Henry Valdez, Robert Brady, Joel Raymond Chartier, Matthew William Vergin

Publication number: 20190381465Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for locally producing a solution using a concentrate. In a localized solution production unit, a solution is identified in association with the concentrate. A mixing profile is selected from among a plurality of mixing profiles based on the solution identified. A base fluid is dispensed into a mixing container docked in a container dock. The mixing container includes a mixing impeller rotatably coupled to the mixing container via an impeller shaft extending from a base of the mixing container. A controller actuates an actuator in the container dock to cause an impeller to in the mixing container to rotate. The concentrate is dispensed into the mixing container and mixed with the base fluid via the impeller based on the selected mixing profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2019Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Nicholas Alexander Gunia, Matthew Karl Gunia, Mark Kurt Gunia, Joel Raymond Chartier, Andrew Paul Muser, Matthew William Vergin, Ryan Carroll Donahue, Jason Lee Viera, Gerald Joseph Lozinski, Todd Alan Strobel
