Publication number: 20230371731Abstract: A liquid dispensing apparatus includes a container including a downwardly extending wall portion that defines a bottom opening through which a liquid in the container is dispensed; a valve; and an actuator connected to the valve for controlling dispensing of the fluid from the container. The actuator is movable along an axis between a dispensing position, in which liquid from the container is dispensed, the valve being open when the actuator is in the dispensing position; and a non-dispensing position, in which liquid from the container is not dispensed, the valve being closed when the actuator is in the non-dispensing position, and the actuator in the non-dispensing position being located further from the container than when in the dispensing position. A spring biases the actuator in a direction away from the container. The liquid may be dispensed into a bottle containing a hard seltzer for flavoring of the seltzer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: David Phillip Starkey, Alyssa Marie Kuhn, Michael Morgan Starkey

Patent number: 11402535Abstract: A system includes a metal detector, a structure to hold the metal detector, and a processing unit which processes the measured signal from the metal detector. The measured signals of known objects are recorded with the metal detector. The signals are processed into sets of variables. When an unknown object is detected by the metal detector, the measured signal is processed into the same variables. The variables from the measured signal are compared against the variables in the database. If a match is found, the unknown object is determined.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: DITEQT LLCInventors: Michael Morgan Starkey, Lloyd Stephen Riggs, Aubrey Nathan Beal
