Abstract: An apparatus (10) to establish when the quantity of fluid remaining on a container falls below an adjustable predetermined level has a base (11), which houses elements adapted to deflect proportionally to the weight applied to them. A lid (12), adapted to sit on the elements, receives or supports the container. The elements are arranged to operate a switch (62) when deflection of the elements reaches or falls below a predetermined value, thereby activating a warning or alarm system. The warning system can include one or more light-emitting diodes (15, 16) or an audio/visual alarm (20) and can be either integral with the apparatus or remote therefrom. The elements can comprise a number of levers (54) which are operatively linked together, which respond to the weight of the container on the lid (12).

Patent CA-2431180-A1 (CA)
Title: Hot dairy-based beverage dispenser
Inventor: ECKENHAUSEN ROLAND B
IPC: B67D3/04
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: A dispensing unit for dispensing hot, dairy-based beverages has a self-contained refrigerated unit located above a venturi-type emulsification foaming head. The dispensing unit has particular applicability to the dispensation of foamy, hot milk for use in beverages such as cappuccino and nonfoamy, hot milk for use in beverages such as coffee lane, hot chocolate, and other hot dairy-based beverages . The refrigeration unit accommodates a "bag in box" cold milk storage container of the type widely used in food service establishments. The dispensing unit employs a pinch valve that avoids direct contact between the milk and the valve components. The refrigerated milk is stored above the level of the foamer head so that the flow of milk results partially from gravitational force on the milk, and is not totally dependent upon venturi suction created in the foamer head. Also, selective actuation of beverage choice switches generates commands to produce different beverages at different temperatures. This is achieved by raising or lowering the steam temperature from a standby temperature as an immediate response to depression of a selection button. Air utilized in creating a foamy hot milk mixture may be supplied at a positive pressure above atmospheric pressure, rather than merely through venturi suction from the ambient atmosphere. In addition, following the dispensation of each portion of a beverage, the system automatically discharges a quantity of purging water to clean out the air line and air nozzle, so as to avoid contamination of those components by contact with milk flowing through the foamer head.

Abstract: The method involves generating a model configuration (M1) of the nodes in the network (N) comprising, for each function among a plurality of node functions, a respective model of the function's operation. For each of the nodes under test, a respective set of data ( ..., CFK-1, CFk, CFk+1, ... ) regarding the current configuration of the node is collected. This respective set of current configuration data is compared with the model configuration (M1) in the absence of interaction with the node under test. For some or all of the node functions, it is envisaged that this comparison will be carried out by simulating - step by step if desired - the operation of node functions, again in the absence of interaction with the node under test.
