Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method that formulates a drink mixer according to a predetermined recipe and then flash freezing the mix into the form of small frozen pellets. The pellets are used by a person to make one drink or a batch of drinks by mixing a base beverage, or beverages, with the pellets.

Abstract: An interbody spacer is provided. The spacer includes a housing having a top portion, a bottom portion, and a plurality of side portions disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion, a midline portion configured to be disposed across at least one of the top portion and the bottom portion of the housing, an opening disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion, and a grooved channel disposed in at least one of the plurality of side portions. The top and bottom portions are configured to include a plurality of projections configured to protrude away from the top and bottom portions.

Abstract: In accordance with a preferred embodiment, there is provided a frozen yogurt product that remains frozen at relatively high temperatures and can be added to juice, milk, or other liquid to create a smoothie or similar beverage.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of flash freezing a whey-based liquid into small beads and then packaging the beads for consumers is disclosed. The beads are stored in a conventional freezer, or colder, until desired. The beads can be consumed in their frozen form to provide a convenient source of protein or can be reconstituted into a beverage base as needed. In particular, a warm or cold beverage may be easily and affordably created using the frozen beads.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of flash freezing an energy beverage liquid into small beads and then packaging the beads for consumers is disclosed. The beads are stored in a conventional freezer, or colder, until desired and then reconstituted into a beverage base as needed. In particular, a warm or cold beverage may be easily and affordably created using the frozen beads.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of flash freezing a tea-based liquid into small beads and then packaging the beads for consumers is disclosed. The beads are stored in a conventional freezer until desired and then reconstituted into a tea beverage base as needed. In particular, a warm or cold tea-based beverage may be easily and affordably created using the frozen beads.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for attenuating the effect of ambient light on optical sensors and for measuring and compensating quantitatively for the ambient light.

Abstract: An electro-optical sensing device for detecting the presence and concentration of an analyte in a liquid or gaseous medium includes a pair of indicator elements positioned to receive radiation from a radiation source and transmit radiation to a pair of photosensitive elements. The indicator elements each contain indicator molecules having an optical characteristic responsive to the presence of an analyte; however, one of the indicator elements is covered by an analyte-impermeable chamber that renders the indicator element insensitive to the presence of the analyte in the medium outside the chamber so that it can be used as a reference to cancel environmental and systemic variables that affect both indicator elements. The chamber preferably holds an analyte-containing fluid in contact with the reference indicator element so that the indicator elements operate under nominally identical conditions.
