Abstract:

A beverage production system, comprising a cup dispensing station configured to dispense cups, a beverage dispensing station configured to dispense a beverage, and a turntable assembly. The turntable assembly comprising a central axis, an inner turntable including a first row of cup receptacles, and an outer turntable including a second row of cup receptacles. The outer turntable is disposed circumferentially about the inner turntable, and the outer turntable is configured to rotate about the central axis to align the cup receptacles of the second row with the cup dispensing station and the beverage dispensing station. The turntable assembly is configured to align an opening in a cup receptacle in the second row with an opening in a cup receptacle in the first row. A slide assembly includes an arm configured to slide a cup positioned in the cup receptacle in the second row into the aligned opening of the cup receptacle in the first row.

Abstract:

An example method for determining a physical cell identifier is provided. The example method may include receiving a first and second signal captures from wireless, cellular communication signals transmitted by a base station. The first signal capture being a portion of a first radio frame and the second signal capture being a portion of a second, subsequent radio frame. The method may further include aligning the first and second signal captures to determine a location of a start of a first symbol in each and decoding data within signal captures to generate a first capture grid and a second capture grid. The method may further include combining the capture grids into a resultant grid and determining a subset of possible physical cell identifiers based on a position of a selected reference symbol within the resultant grid to assist with determining a current cell identifier.
