  • Publication number: 20180304531
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for mixing component materials and dispensing a gradient product comprising a continuously varied composition of matter. The method includes delivering, by multiple dispensing devices actuated by a motor, component material to a connector where each of multiple connector inputs receives component material from a respective one of the multiple dispensing devices. The component material is forwarded to a mixing tube connected to a single output of the connector. The mixing tube receives the component material from each of the multiple dispensing devices via the connector and mixes the component material. A dispensing nozzle connected to the mixing tube, receives a continuously varying mixture of materials from the mixing tube and dispenses the continuously varying mixture of materials onto a collection bed to form a gradient product comprising a continuously varying composition of matter. An electronic processor controls the varied composition of matter of the gradient product.

  • Publication number: 20180159344
    Abstract: A power charger includes a charger housing having a rechargeable battery internally disposed therein, and a charge-indicating power button operatively connected with the battery to direct a power charge from the battery to a power connection interface provided on the housing. At least one LED light is associated with the power button such that manipulation of the LED light (such as by illumination or blinking of the light) causes the power button to provide an indication of the battery charge level. A battery control module is provided to operate the power charger upon actuation of the power button between a first mode in which the charger is turned off, and a second mode in which electrical current can flow from the battery to the power connection interface. An additional mode can also be included, in which electrical current can flow from the power connection interface to the battery.
