Abstract: A limited action flow control fluid dispenser. The fluid dispenser includes a housing (1001), a plunger (1004) positioned within the housing, and a nozzle (1007). The housing (1004) has a fluid inlet (1020), a fluid outlet (1012) and a cavity (1074). The plunger (1004) is longitudinally positioned within the cavity (1014) and is slidable between a first position and a second position. The first position permits fluid flow from the fluid inlet (1020) through the cavity (1014) and out from the fluid outlet (1012). The second position prevents fluid flow. The plunger (1004) includes first and second ends, a substantially uniformly concave section, a velocity reducing section, a sealing section, and a constant volume section. In operation, the plunger serves to reduce foaming in carbonated beverages, such as beer, and facilitate pressurization of the fluid delivery system. In another aspect of the present invention, a velocity reducing device is provided that includes a first end mated with the fluid inlet and a second end that is mated with a fluid supply line. Turbulence is created within the velocity reducing device to reduce the fluid velocity prior to entering the fluid dispenser.

Abstract: A computer graphics system is described in which a new type of entity, referred to as a "phenomenon," can be created, instantiated and used in rendering an image of a scene. A phenomenon is an encapsulated shader DAG comprising one or more nodes each comprising a shader, or an encapsulated set of such DAGs which are interconnected so as to cooperate, which are instantiated and attached to entities in the scene which are created during the scene definition process to define diverse types of features of a scene, including color and textural features of surfaces of objects in the scene, characteristics of volumes and geometries in the scene, features of light sources illuminating the scene, features of simulated cameras will be simulated during rendering, and numerous other features which are useful in rendering. Phenomena selected for use by an operator in connection with a scene may be predefined, or they may be constructed from base shader nodes by an operator using a phenomenon creator. The phenomenon creator ensures that phenomena are constructed so that the shaders in the DAG or cooperating DAGs can correctly cooperate during rendering of an image of the scene. Prior to being attached to a scene, a phenomenon is instantiated by providing values, or functions which are used to define the values, for each of the phenomenon's parameters, using a phenomenon editor. The phenomenon editor allows the operator to view the effects produced by various settings for the parameter values which are selected. During scene image generation, a scene image generator operates in a series of phases, including a including a preprocessing phase, a rendering phase and a post-processing phase. During a pre-processing phase, the scene image generator can perform pre-processing operations, such as shadow and photon mapping, multiple inheritance resolution, and the like. The scene image generator may perform pre-processing operations if, for example, a phenomenon attached to the scene includes a geometry shader to generate geometry defined thereby for the scene. During the rendering phase, the scene image generator renders the image. During the post-processing phase, the scene image generator may perform post-processing operations if, for example, a phenomenon attached to the scene includes a shader that defines post-processing operations.

Abstract: An electric motor is described in which a position sensor is provided which generates a plurality of output signals each dependent upon the relative position of the rotor and the stator. These signals are processed to generate a set of commutation control signals for controlling the commutation of the drive current to the stator coils. In one embodiment, a phase shift can be electronically applied to each of the position sensor coils to adjust the timing of the switching in accordance with the motor's current speed and load demands. In another embodiment, these signals are also used in a servo-control loop, in order to control, for example, the speed and/or output torque of the motor.
