Title: Methods and systems for utilizing delayed dilution, mixing and filtering to provide customized varieties of fresh-brewed coffee on-demand
Inventor: GUTWEIN ROGER WILLIAM
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: An improved system for providing an individually customized fresh brewed coffee beverage on demand by a customer, in a wide range of variety and strength. Said brewing system for making relatively large quantities of fresh brewed coffee beverages (in particular, customized as to desired variety, body, character and/or strengths), as chosen by multiple individual consumers just prior to their consumption. Said system is easy to use by the consumer or other individual (e.g., restaurant wait staff) obtaining the customized beverage. Further, maintenance of the equipment requires only a small amount of personal attention by the owner/operator of the equipment. A general object of the present invention is to utilize "delayed dilution" of a concentrated extract to provide a beverage brewing system which immediately (upon customer selection) provides selective dilution (based on individual consumer's selections) of a fresh-brewed coffee extract after the extract has been allowed to brew and held as an extract before dilution. It is also a general object of the present invention to utilize the undiluted extract to mix and dissolve other beverage compounds to make flavored coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, and the like. "Delayed mixing" and/or "delayed filtering" may also be utilized.

Patent CA-2572183-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HERRMANN CARSTEN DIEDRICH
IPC: F03B3/14
Filed: 2005-06-06
Abstract: Due to increasing environmental requirements, oil must be prevented from leaking from a turbine rotor disk and reaching the medium circulating around the turbine. In Kaplan turbines comprising a hydraulic mechanism (6) for actuating the rotor disk blades (3), hydraulic liquid leaks from the servomotor (5) and is collected in the inner chamber of the rotor disk hub (2). The invention relates to a rotor disk (1) by which means said leakage liquid can be reliably and easily collected and guided out of the rotor disk (1). A collecting basin (8) is arranged around the free end of the piston rod (7). The actuating movement of the servomotor (5) reduces and enlarges the pump volume (17), and hydraulic liquid is thus guided from the collecting basin (8) into the delivery pipe (11).

IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2007-06-22
Abstract: A system and method for handling e-mail address mismatches between the address contained within a user's certificate or certificate chain, and the account address actually being used is disclosed. In order to resolve address mismatches a canonical or generic domain name or user name may, for example, be used as a lifelong address of a user that is contained in the user's certificate. Upon detection of an address mismatch, the system and method disclosed herein may automatically re-check the certificate or search for a certificate containing the canonical or generic domain name and/or user name to attempt to resolve the mismatch. This mismatch resolution is preferably transparent to the user and occurs automatically. The canonical or generic domain and/or user names that are available to the device may be typically controlled by IT policy that is in place on the system for the device. While this system is suitable for any type of electronic messaging system, it has particular applicability to systems that use mobile wireless communication devices with electronic messaging capability.
