A drink dispensing system having sets of faucet dispensers, ice storage bins adjacent to the sets of faucet dispensers, respectively, a common carbonator and circulation pumps associated with fluid circuits provide circulating flow through cold plates defining bottoms to the ice storage bins. Flow m
A drink dispensing system having sets of faucet dispensers, ice storage bins adjacent to the sets of faucet dispensers, respectively, a common carbonator and circulation pumps associated with fluid circuits provide circulating flow through cold plates defining bottoms to the ice storage bins. Flow may be in parallel or in series to each of the separate stations. The circulating system is illustrated to be for the carbonated water supply while noncirculating supply systems provide noncarbonated water and syrup to the dispensing stations. Circulating systems for bar guns using a cold plate is also disclosed.

The frame component of claim 8, wherein two of said at least two members form a substantially right angle.12. The frame component of claim 8, wherein said L-shaped hinge is secured to the futon seat platform by one of at least one nail, bolt, rivet, pin, staple, snap, or glue.13. The frame component of claim 8, wherein the futon seat platform is secured to the futon back platform by a clevis pin.14. The frame component of claim 13, wherein the clevis pin includes two holes, substantially orthogonal to-each other.15. A futon frame, comprising: at least two frame components, including at least one side-rail-less frame component and at least another frame component; andan L-shaped hinge including at least two members, forming an angle with respect to each other, so that said at least two members can contact the at least one side-rail-less frame component to provide support to the at least one side-rail-less frame component when connected to the at least another frame component, whereinone or both of the frame components is not a billet;wherein one of the frame components is a futon seat platform and another frame component is a futon back platform.16. The futon frame of claim 15, wherein said at least two members are integral.17. The futon frame of claim 15, wherein said L-shaped hinge is made of metal, plastic, or wood.18. The futon frame of claim 15, wherein two of said at least two members form a substantially right angle.19. The futon frame of claim 15, wherein said L-shaped hinge is secured to the futon seat platform by one of at least one nail, bolt, rivet, pin, staple, snap, or glue.20. The futon frame of claim 15, wherein the futon seat platform is secured to the futon back platform by a clevis pin.21. The futon frame of claim 20, wherein the clevis pin includes two holes, substantially orthogonal to each other.22. A method of securing two frame components of a futon bed together, comprising: providing the two frame components, wherein one of the two frame components is a side rail-less frame component, and an L-shaped hinge including at least two members, forming an angle with respect to each other; andarranging the two frame components and the L-shaped hinge so that said at least two members can contact the at least one side-rail-less frame component to provide support to the at least one side-rail-less frame component when connected to the other frame component whereinone or both of the frame components is not a billet;wherein one of the frame components is a futon seat platform and another frame component is a futon back platform.23. The method of claim 22, wherein said at least two members are integral.24. The method of claim 22, wherein said L-shaped hinge is made of metal, plastic, or wood.25. The method of claim 22, wherein two of said at least two members form a substantially right angle.26. The method of claim 22, wherein said L-shaped hinge is secured to the futon seat platform by one of at least one nail, bolt, rivet, pin, staple, snap, or glue.27. The method of claim 26, wherein the futon seat platform is secured to the futon back platform by a clevis pin.28. The method of claim 27, wherein the clevis pin includes two holes, substantially orthogonal to each other. pins penetrating the horizontal grooves of the stationary block and inclined grooves of the movable block so as to restrict pivotal movement of the bars; anda resilient element being positioned between the stationary block and the movable block.2. The foldable mechanism of claim 1, further comprising a webbing passing through the movable block so as to pull the movable block with the webbing.3. The foldable mechanism of claim 1, wherein the movable block is provided with vertical grooves, and stationary pins for fixing the stationary block with respect to the center seat are penetrating through the vertical grooves, such that the movable block moves vertically.4. The foldable mechanism of claim 1, wherein the resilient element is a spring. stablishing reminders for events related to broadcast programs, the broadcast receiver including a local memory, the method comprising: receiving at the broadcast receiver broadcast data including at least one broadcast program and separate reminder data associated with the broadcast program;displaying the broadcast program on a display device coupled to the broadcast receiver;during the display of the broadcast program, and without requiring a previous display of a program listing, receiving a user input to establish a reminder for an event related to the broadcast program;storing in the local memory of the broadcast receiver the reminder data for the event, including data for determining a future time to display the reminder, and a description of the event, the reminder data stored in the local memory until the future time;determining in the broadcast receiver from the locally stored reminder data whether to display the reminder at the future time; andresponsive to the future time, displaying on the display device the reminder including the description of the event.2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:receiving a broadcast program on a first channel indicating a broadcast event occurring at a future time on a second channel;receiving, while tuning to the first channel, a user input to establish a reminder for the broadcast event occurring at the future time on the second channel; andstoring the reminder for the broadcast event in the memory of the broadcast receiver.3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining in the broadcast receiver from the locally stored reminder data whether to display the reminder at the future time comprises:executing in the broadcast receiver a timer that expires at the future time.4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:tuning to first channel, and displaying a first broadcast program on the first channel;displaying a reminder for a second broadcast program occurring on a second channel different from the first channel; andtuning to the second channel, and displaying the second broadcast program.5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:storing data indicative of a purchase of the second broadcast program.6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:periodically displaying a subsequent reminder of the broadcast program.7. A computer implemented method of operating a broadcast receiver for establishing reminders for events related to broadcast programs, the broadcast receiver including a local memory, the method comprising: receiving at the broadcast receiver broadcast data including at least one broadcast program and a reminder interactive application associated with the broadcast program;displaying the broadcast program on a display device coupled to the broadcast receiver;concurrently with displaying the broadcast program, and without requiring a previous display of a program listing receiving a user input activating the reminder interactive application to establish a reminder for a future broadcast of the broadcast program;storing in the local memory of the broadcast receiver reminder data for the future broadcast, including data for determining a future time to display the reminder and a description of the future broadcast, the reminder data stored in the local memory until the future time;determining in the broadcast receiver whether the future time for displaying the reminder has occurred; andresponsive to the future time occurring, retrieving the reminder data from the local memory and displaying the reminder on the display device using the description of the future broadcast included in the retrieved reminder dat
