Abstract: The present invention relates to a beverage font assembly (10) for a drinking establishment. The beverage font assembly (10) comprises a beverage font (16) mounted on a bar counter (24) having a customer side and an operator side. The beverage font includes a tapping head (17) having a spout (18) and a handle (20). The beverage font (16) is connectable to a tapping line extending to a beverage container. The handle (20) is operable between a non-beverage dispensing position and a beverage dispensing position. In the non-beverage dispensing position, the beverage may not flow from the container to the spout (18). In the beverage dispensing position, the beverage may flow from the container to the spout (18). The beverage font assembly further comprises a projection screen (14) mounted on the beverage font. The projection screen (14) is visible from the customer side of the beverage font. The beverage font assembly further comprises a video projector (12) for projecting an image onto the projection screen (14).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a beverage font (10) for a beverage dispensing system. The beverage font (10) comprising a mixing conduit (24) having a first inlet (24A) for receiving a pressurized beverage defining a first alcoholic percentage and a second inlet (26) for receiving an additive defining a second alcoholic percentage. The mixing conduit (24) further having an outlet (18) for supplying a mixed alcoholic beverage product constituting a mixture of the beverage and the additive. The font (10) further comprising a control unit (38) for receiving a parameter representing a specific alcoholic percentage or a specific concentration of the additive relative to the mixed alcoholic beverage.

Abstract: A method includes detecting an image presented on a display area of a device; detecting a pointing device input on a touch sensitive area of a device; determining that the input includes at least one point of contact on the touch sensitive area; and activating a zoom functionality of the device.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention there is provided an apparatus comprising a first assembly and a second assembly, said first assembly being connected to said second assembly by and extendable mechanism, said extendable mechanism being configured to extend an input area when the first assembly is moved with respect to the second assembly from a first position to a second position.

Abstract: An apparatus with a central housing, a top housing slidably movable relative to the central housing and a bottom housing slidably movable relative to the central housing is provided. The central housing is provided with an area for user input. A first portion of the area for user input is concealed by the top housing when it is in its retracted position and a second portion of the area for user input is concealed by the bottom housing when it is in its retracted position. The first portion of the area for user input is unconcealed when the top housing is in its extended position and the second portion of the area for user input is unconcealed when the bottom housing is in its extended position. The top housing and the optimum housing move in unison between their retracted and extended positions.
