Abstract: A fluid dispenser for measuring and dispensing fluid from a container includes a housing having a measurement chamber that defines a volume for receiving a predefined quantity of the fluid, a fluid flow passage having an inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid in the container, and an outlet in fluid communication with the measurement chamber, such that the fluid flow passage permits fluid flow between the container and the measurement chamber. A valve member is provided that is movable in the flow passage to open the flow passage to permit fluid flow from the container to the measurement chamber to thereby allow the volume of the measurement chamber to fill with the predefined quantity of fluid; and to close the flow passage to restrict fluid flow from the container to the measurement chamber, and to isolate the predefined quantity of fluid to the measurement chamber.

Abstract: Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for initializing an image sensor of a robotic vehicle. In some embodiments, a processor of the robotic vehicle may extract first features from a captured image of the target image, may extract second features from a predefined image pyramid of the target image, may match first features and second features, and may estimate an image sensor pose based on matched features and known dimensions of the target image. In some embodiments, the processor may estimate an image or to image sensor pose based on matched features and a translation and/or rotation of the robotic vehicle. In some embodiments, the processor may determine a coordinate system for the robotic vehicle based on one or more image sensor poses.

Abstract: A container and lid assembly are provided. The lid assembly includes an upper lid and a lower lid that cooperate to define a dispensation chamber for product that is provided in the container.
Abstract: A packaging container (1) with at least one partition for uptake of pourable products, which has one opening (9) which can be aligned with an opening (16) in a cover member (3). A sealing strip (4) is also applied onto a label (5) which is applied onto an actual container (2) and onto a cover member (3) such that it prevents movement of a container (2) and a cover member (3) in relation to each other and also hygienically covers an opening (16) in a cover member (3).
