Abstract: A system and method for increasing total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration and pH of water is provided herein. The water is processed using a variety of filtration and purification methods, including carbon filtration, water softening, reverse osmosis, and electrodeionization. After filtration and purification, the water is pumped into a mineral infusion chamber, including a plurality of bioceramic components. At least one TDS sensor monitors the TDS concentration of the water stream, and a flow rate out of the mineral infusion chamber is controlled by a flow control valve based on sensor data produced by the at least one TDS sensor.

Abstract: The present invention includes a station for dispensing water, specifically alkaline water having a stable pH of between about 8 and about 10. Additionally, the station includes at least one radiofrequency identification (RFID) chip sensor, configured to detect a unique RFID chip in, for example, a bottle of water and automatically update a user profile associated with the unique RFID chip to indicate an amount of water consumed.

Abstract: A mechanism for moving a sliding door of a railway car is capable of moving the sliding door between a first position in which the sliding door is supported on the body of the railway car and closes an opening in the railway car body and a second position in which the sliding door is supported by the mechanism and is moveable along the railway car body so that cargo may be loaded and unloaded into and out of the opening in the railway car. The mechanism includes a crank and a roller rotatably mounted on the crank. The crank is rotatably mounted to the sliding door about an axis of rotation which allows movement of the roller through an opening in the bottom portion of the sliding door while limiting lateral movement of the crank which allows for clearance between the roller and the opening when the roller moves through the opening in the sliding door. An actuating member is provided and is rotatably mounted on the sliding door about an axis. The actuating member has at least one lug thereon.
