Abstract: A product package includes a first volume at least partially filled with a liquid diluent, a second volume containing a brewing material, and a valve configured to selectively fluidly communicate the first volume with the second volume to expose the brewing material to the liquid diluent.

Abstract: A dispenser configured to dispense a product from a product package includes an inlet configured to receive the product from the product package, a dispensing nozzle downstream of the inlet, a pump in fluid communication with the inlet and operable to pump the product from the product package to the dispensing nozzle, and a temperature control assembly including a temperature control element in thermally conductive contact with the product package and the dispensing nozzle to heat or cool the product package and the dispensing nozzle.

Abstract: An aerator mixing rod includes a body having a first and second opposite ends and an outer surface extending between the ends. The body defines a longitudinal axis extending through the ends. The aerator mixing rod also includes teeth extending radially outward from the outer surface, with a first row of teeth and a second row of teeth spaced from the first row along the longitudinal axis. A first passageway is formed between adjacent teeth of the first row, and a second passageway is formed between adjacent teeth of the second row. The first passageway is at least partially misaligned with the second passageway in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis such that the first passageway and the second passageway form a tortuous path for fluid flowing along the outer surface of the body. The aerator mixing rod is formed from an injection-moldable material by an injection molding process.

Abstract: A food product dispenser includes a drive unit and a dispensing unit removably coupled to the drive unit. The dispensing unit includes a product reservoir configured to store the food product, a dispensing nozzle, and a product transfer assembly including a pump assembly configured to be driven by the drive unit when the dispensing unit is coupled to the drive unit to convey the food product from the product reservoir to the dispensing nozzle.

Abstract: An asphalt emulsion available for high performing, trackless tack coat applications. The tack coat can be used with hot mix asphalt, warm mix asphalt or cold mix asphalt to provide a tack coat on an existing bituminous or concrete pavement surface. The tack coat can also be used for repair of potholes, utility cuts, and general pavement patching areas.
