Abstract: A system for preparing beverage consumptions comprising an appliance to prepare and dispense a beverage and at least one exchangeable supply pack. The appliance includes a loading channel to receive the exchangeable supply pack. The exchangeable supply pack has a container to hold a beverage related ingredient, a drive port to receive a driving torque and an ingredient outlet port. The loading channel has a protruding drive shaft for transmitting torque from the appliance to the supply pack, and an ingredient receiving connector for conveying the ingredient from the supply pack to the appliance. The drive port and outlet port of the supply pack are coupled to the drive shaft and the receiving connector. The drive port includes an opening with a concave tapered inner wall defining a funnel shape and cooperates with the protruding drive shaft to assist in aligning the outlet port with respect to the receiving connector.

Abstract: A device for dispensing material comprising a pressurized container assembly, a tilt action valve connected to the container assembly, and a two-piece actuator, including a lower piece and an upper piece, where the upper piece has a discharge nozzle orifice and also a portion to be moved by a user in the single direction of the discharge orifice to open the tilt action valve and discharge the material in the single direction.

Abstract: There is provided a chimeric protein comprising a nucleic acid modifying enzyme domain having nucleic acid modifying activity joined with an Cren7 enhancer domain or variant thereof, in which the Cren7 enhancer domain or variant thereof enhances the activity of the nucleic acid modifying enzyme domain compared with a corresponding protein lacking the Cren7 enhancer domain or variant thereof. There is also provided an isolated nucleic acid encoding the chimeric protein of the invention and methods utilising the protein.

Abstract: An cooling system for a work vehicle employing a plenum cooling compartment that is separated from the engine compartment by a baffle. The plenum cooling compartment is formed by the baffle, side doors, a fan door and a floor and contains a heat exchanger. A centrifugal fan draws outside ambient air into the plenum cooling compartment removing large debris from the air in the process due to the structure of the compartment to form clean air. The clean air is then moved through the heat exchanger before being moved out of the plenum cooling compartment.
