Patent number: 9754437Abstract: Systems and methods for dispensing beverages are provided. In accordance with various embodiments, beverage vendors may maintain the quality associated with a branded beverage while permitting consumers to enjoy the personalized beverages. In one embodiment, a user input may select a beverage formulation. The beverage formulation may be a commercially available branded beverage. A second user input may be received that is configured to modify a concentration of an ingredient of the selected beverage formulation. The ingredient may be a sweetener, such as a sugar. In response to the adjusting the ingredient, a concentration of at least one second ingredient may be automatically adjusted to form a recipe of a modified beverage formulation. In one embodiment, the user input adjusts a natural sugar and, in response, the carbon dioxide concentration is automatically adjusted. In another embodiment, carbon dioxide and another acid may be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: PepsiCo, Inc.Inventors: Indrani Deo, Steven Jersey

Patent number: 9521922Abstract: Systems and methods for dispensing beverages are provided. Aspects relate to obtaining measurements regarding dispensing an ingredient (including the dispensing conditions of the ingredient) and determining whether to adjust dispensing conditions of at least one other ingredient. In one embodiment, at least one ingredient of a recipe is not dispensed based upon a dispensing measurement. The adjustment of one or more ingredients may comprise the use of adjustable orifices, which do not require separate measurements of ingredients before dispensing, but rather may measure ingredients' parameters (including dispensing conditions) as they are dispensed. Certain embodiments relate to devices and methods that may determine if an ingredient is a non-Newtonian fluid, and if so, may be configured to conduct measurements on such fluids, including, for example, the strain stress and strain rate as the fluid passes within a conduit.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: PEPSICO, INC.Inventors: Indrani Deo, Steven Jersey

Publication number: 20160023883Abstract: A system comprising a highly concentrated micro component source, an accumulator, a micro component valve and a controller. The accumulator may be configured to keep the highly concentrated micro component under a first pressure. The micro component valve may be configured to dose the highly concentrated micro component at the first pressure for a first period of time. The controller may be configured to control the dosing of the highly concentrated micro component by the micro component valve. The system may further comprise a source of a diluent configured to provide a flow of the diluent during a second period of time at a second pressure. The highly concentrated micro component along with the diluent may be dosed using different time periods and under different pressures.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: January 28, 2016Inventor: Steven Jersey
