The pump control circuit conducts a sparkling drink making operation under control of the processing circuit to cause the fluid output device to dispense different fluid materials to the beverage container in order, so as to automatically form a sparkling drink/aerated drink with a predetermined flavor within the beverage container.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a processing tool. The tool includes a housing enclosing a processing chamber, and an input/output port configured to pass a wafer through the housing into and out of the processing chamber. A back-side macro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image a back side of the wafer. A front-side macro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image a front side of the wafer according to a first image resolution. A front-side micro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image the front side of the wafer according to a second image resolution which is higher than the first image resolution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plasticized polyolefin compositions comprising a polyolefin and a non-functionalized hydrocarbon plasticizer.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a synchronizable E-VSB enhanced data interleaving and data expansion are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include a packet processor that may generate valid output when a portion of the packet processor may initially contain invalid data. The packet processor may generate the valid data after detecting that storage elements within an interleaver integrated within the packet processor may be filled with valid data received from input, and that a byte output by the interleaver may be a first byte among the bytes in the interleaver that may be part of a new VBS field.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plasticized polyolefin compositions comprising a polyolefin and a non-functionalized hydrocarbon plasticizer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plasticized polyolefin compositions comprising a polyolefin and a non-functionalized plasticizer; wherein the non-functionalized plasticizer may comprise C6 to C200 paraffins (including branched and normal paraffins) having a pour point of less than ?5° C. In one embodiment, the non-functionalized plasticizer is an isoparaffin comprising C6 to C25 isoparaffins. In another embodiment the non-functionalized plasticizer is a polyalphaolefin comprising C10 to C100 n-paraffins. The polyolefin may be a polypropylene homopolymer, copolymer, impact copolymer, or blends thereof, and may include a plastomer. Non-limiting examples of desirable article of manufacture made from compositions of the invention include films, tubes, pipes, sheets, fibers, woven and nonwoven fabrics, automotive components, furniture, sporting equipment, food storage containers, transparent and semi-transparent articles, toys, tubing and pipes, and medical devices.

Abstract: A memory module structure of the invention is used for being assembled on a locking device. The memory module includes a substrate and a plurality of memories. The substrate has certain long sides and short sides. Notches are formed on the short sides for being secured by the locking device. Each of the plurality of memories has a suitable length and width. Some memories of the plurality of memories are transversely mounted on the substrate with respect to the substrate. The other memories of the plurality of memories are longitudinally mounted on the substrate with respect to the substrate. According to this structure, it is possible to suitably arrange a plurality of memories on the substrate so as to increase the memory capacity of the memory module.

Abstract: A stacked package structure of an image sensor for electrically connecting to a printed circuit board includes a first substrate, a second substrate, an integrated circuit, an image sensing chip, and a transparent layer. The second substrate is mounted on the first substrate so as to a cavity formed between the first substrate and second substrate. The integrated circuit is located within the cavity and electrically connected the first substrate. The image-sensing chip is arranged on the second substrate. The transparent layer covers over the image sensing chip, wherein the image sensing chip receives image signals via the transparent layer and transforms the image signals into electrical signals transmitted to the first substrate. Thus, the image sensing chip of the image sensing product and the integrated circuit can be integrally package.
