Abstract: A liquid dispensing device includes a liquid extraction system that extracts a liquid from a container. The liquid dispensing device includes an identification system that identifies a type of the liquid. The liquid dispensing device includes a liquid preservation system that prevents degradation of the liquid. The liquid may be wine or other liquids.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing device includes a needle. The needle is adapted to penetrate a container without tearing out a portion of the container. The portion of the container is near a point of penetration on the container. The liquid dispensing device includes a motion control system. The motion control system is configured to rotate the needle while the needle penetrates the container.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to extracting the liquid from a container (such as a bottle of wine) in varying amounts at a desired serving temperature while preserving the liquid for later consumption. Various embodiments may be built within an appliance so the consumer experience is fully automated. Embodiments may include a variety of wine preservation techniques including the use of inert gases that prevent the oxidation of wine.

Abstract: A method, device, and system for in-room wine purchasing and/or dispensing. More specifically, the collaboration of one or more wine dispensing devices, a wine dispensing platform, a property management system, and third-party systems to enable, support, and capitalize on the provision of wine within lodging environments. Mechanisms for enforcing alcohol-related policies and/or regulations maintained by a geographic locality as well as for preventing the consumption of wine by underage or property staff members are also discussed.

Abstract: Disposable, self-contained, hand-held, low power devices for irradiating or illuminating a light sensitive material, such as a sealant, hydrogel, and the like, that has been applied to soft, living mammalian tissue and systems and methods using the devices are disclosed. Preferably, the light sources are low power light emitting diodes that provide a desired power density for a predetermined period of time that are controlled by a control board that limits the current and the time of application of the activating energy. The illumination or irradiation causes the light sensitive material to cure, polymerize, bond, and/or cross-link with the tissue to provide a suitable, sealant (modulus) strength.

Abstract: Devices for providing polymeric layers on the interior surface of body lumens and spaces are disclosed. The devices can include proximal and distal occlusion elements to define the treatment space and an optical emitter to provide light for a photopolymerization procedure. The devices may include a molding member for providing a thick polymeric gel. Alternatively, devices without a molding member may be used to carry out an interfacial polymerization procedure.
