Abstract: A process for preparing aerated ice confection particles by manufacturing an aerated ice confection in a mass; further freezing the mass cryogenically to a temperature close to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the aerated ice confection to form a aerated frozen mass, and comminuting the frozen mass to aerated ice confection particles with a high surface area to volume ratio. These particles can be used for a variety of purposes but preferably are used for forming frozen ice drinks in a simple, rapid and convenient manner. This is particularly useful when a single serving of such drinks is desired as no special equipment to make the drink is required. The invention also relates to packaging for the aerated ice confection particles and methods of making frozen ice drinks from the aerated ice confection particles.

Abstract: A disc opener unit for an agricultural implement has a down pressure adjustment device that automatically adjusts the amount of down pressure applied on a furrowing disc based on strain measurements taken by a strain gauge or load cell. The strain gauge, which may be mounted to an arm that is used to set the position of a depth setting gauge wheel, provides feedback to a processor that in turn controls the amount of hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic cylinder to adjust the down force applied on the disc. The amount of down pressure is therefore adjusted in substantially real-time in response to changes in field conditions, which improves furrow depth consistency and reduces wear on the gauge wheel and its components.

Abstract: A system and method for transferring fluid directly from a container sealed with a closure, to a receptacle. The receptacle includes an aperture and an interior floor. The fluid dispenser has two ends - a first end pierces the closure to establish fluid communication between the interior and exterior of the container and the second end engages the aperture in the receptacle. Relative movement of the receptacle and container toward each other dispenses fluid from the container, through the dispenser, and directly into the receptacle.  The second end of the dispenser is precluded from contacting the interior floor of the receptacle to avoid unintentional withdrawal of the fluid from the receptacle.

Abstract: A multilevel converter (7) comprises a plurality of converter strands (8-10), which are connected to the phases (2-4) of a three-phase-network (1) in a star or delta connection. From phase voltage values (U2-U4) and phase current values (IL2-IL4), an active component (w) and at least two asymmetrical components (w', b') are determined.  The phase voltage values (U2-U4) are characteristic of the phase voltages present at the phases (2-4), the phase current values (IL2-IL4) are characteristic of the phase currents flowing in the phases (2-4). The active component (w) is characteristic of the overall active current flowing in the three-phase network (1). The at least two asymmetrical components (w', b') are characteristic of a distribution of the overall flowing active and reactive currents to the phases (2-4). The active component (w) and the at least two asymmetrical components (w', b') are each filtered with a filter characteristic. The phase voltage values (12-U4) are multiplied with the filtered active component (w) and the at least two filtered asymmetrical components (w', b'). The multiplied phase voltage values (U2-U4) are multiplied with a particular weighting factor (ga-gc) and are then added to the phase current values (IL2-IL4). From the asymmetrical components (w', b') and the phase voltage values (U2-U4), a zero current (10) is determined and is also added to the phase current values (12-14). The zero current (10) is determined such that it symmetrizes a potential asymmetrical active current flow of the multilevel converter (7) that would occur without the zero current (10). From the phase current values (IL2-IL4) modified in said manner, a control state (A) for the converter strands (8-10) is determined. The converter strands (8-10) are actuated accordingly.
