Publication number: 20240410746Abstract: Metering structure includes a rigid strut configured to support an optical element. A rigid shield mounted on the strut has a shield length which is substantially coextensive with the elongated length of the rigid strut such that rigid shield substantially encloses the strut along the entire shield length. The rigid shield has a surface finish which is highly absorptive of electromagnetic radiation in the optical spectrum. One or more thermal insulating material layers comprise a multi-layer insulation (MLI) system disposed between the rigid strut and the rigid shield. Rigid and flexure brackets secure the rigid shield to the strut.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Gordon Chun Kong Wu, Nicholas Piekiel, Kenneth M. Patterson, Brian Hart, John Osborn, Peter Bickford, Mitchell Gibson

Patent number: 12129163Abstract: A beverage dispenser maintains a profile queue with profile data of “close” consumer mobile computing devices. Each profile in the profile queue maintains one or more beverages previously selected by a consumer, such as favorite beverage(s), mixed or blended beverages, and/or past or future beverage order(s). Each profile in the profile queue is additionally associated with a profile identifier, such as a name, screen name, social media picture, avatar, alphanumeric identifier, other such text or graphics recognizable by a consumer to be associated with their corresponding profile. Upon navigation to an appropriate screen on the beverage dispenser, a display on the beverage dispenser shows the profile identifiers or one or more of the previously selected beverages in the profiles of “close” consumer mobile computing devices. In this way, a consumer is able to quickly access their previously selected beverages without actively manipulating their mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: THE COCA-COLA COMPANYInventors: Scott Cuppari, Damian James Reec Mycroft, Arthur G.
