Abstract: Systems and methods to secure and manage home or other networks. A security management device is connected to the home network that learns about the people and devices who use the network to keep them safe and secure. The security management device determines what devices are on the network, what they are doing, and if visitors or unknown devices are attempting to gain access to the network. The security management device provides for content filtering using, e.g., a slider, to set a maturity level such as G, PG, PG-13 and None. The security management device enforces filtering polices across all devices, websites, and apps. In some implementations, the content filter is enforced on devices, such as smartphones and other handheld devices that are used off the network outside the home. The security management device may also enforce quiet hours, where Internet access is shut-off after a certain time.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a beverage includes a plurality of replaceable reservoirs, each respectively configured to contain a respective liquid ingredient. A plurality of pumps are each operatively connected to a respective reservoir and configured to transfer the respective liquid ingredient from one or more of the reservoirs. A plurality of nozzles are operatively connected to the plurality of pumps and configured to receive a liquid ingredient from at least one of the plurality of pumps. A single use beverage cartridge includes a second liquid ingredient and is configured to receive the liquid ingredient dispensed from the at least one of the plurality of pumps to generate a mix of the liquid ingredient with the second ingredient.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to beverage dispensing systems. In one embodiment, device for dispensing a beverage includes a housing and a beverage dispensing control system. The housing may include a plurality of reservoirs each respectively configured to contain a respective liquid ingredient, a plurality of pump mechanisms, wherein each pump in the plurality of pump mechanisms is operatively connected to a respective reservoir from the plurality of reservoirs, and configured to transfer the respective liquid ingredient from the respective reservoir. The housing may further include a nozzle operatively connected to the plurality of pump mechanisms, configured to receive a liquid ingredient from at least one pump mechanism from the plurality of pump mechanism, and dispense the liquid ingredient into a beverage receptacle, a solid ingredient reservoir, a solid ingredient dispensing mechanism, an age gateway module, and an intoxication gateway module.
