연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A beverage server and method of use for use as a stand alone server or in combination with at least one of a beverage maker and server power station. Contacts are provided on the server conductive coupling to the beverage maker or the station. The server is configured to preheat a reservoir in the server at least during one of prior to or during dispensing of beverage into the dispenser. The brewer is configured to automatically initiate a brewing cycle in response to pre-determined conditions, such as upon beverage in the server decreasing below a pre-determined level. The brewer is configured to detect whether the server is in position relative to the brewer and is configured to dispense beverage only if the server is detected. The server is configured to prevent dispensing of beverage if a pre-determined time period has expired, in order to avoid dispensing beverage with an expired pre-determined freshness period.

1. A server postionable in and separable from a brewer for retaining and dispensing beverages, the server and brewer combination comprising: a brewer;a housing;a reservoir positioned in the housing for retaining a beverage;a heater carried in the server and attached to the outside bottom surface of the reservoir for conducting heat through the reservoir wall and thereby transferring energy from the heater to the reservoir; andmeans for controllably adding energy to the reservoir to preheat the reservoir before depositing beverage into the reservoir. 2. The server of claim 1 further comprising the server in combination with a beverage brewer. 3. The server of claim 1 further comprising the server in combination with a dispensing station. 4. The server of claim 1 further comprising a space defined between at least a portion of an inside surface of the housing and at least a portion of an outside surface of the reservoir, the space providing a thermal barrier between the outside of the reservoir and an outside of the housing. 5. The server of claim 4 further comprising insulating material being positioned in the space defined between at least a portion of an inside surface of the housing and at least a portion of an outside surface of the reservoir to provide a thermal barrier between the outside of the reservoir and an outside of the housing. 6. A server positionable in and separable from a beverage brewer comprising: a beverage brewer for combining heated water with a beverage brewing substance for producing a brewed beverage therefrom;a server housing;a reservoir positioned in the server housing for retaining a beverage, the reservoir comprising a bottom wall and side wall;a heater carried in the server and attached to the outside bottom surface of the reservoir bottom wall for transferring energy by conduction from the heater to a beverage retained in the reservoir;a controller for controlling operation of the heater; whereby the heater is operated before dispensing beverage to the reservoir for preheating the reservoir bottom wall by conduction before dispensing of beverage therein. 7. A server positionable in and separable from a dispensing station comprising: a server housing;a reservoir positioned in the server housing for retaining a beverage;a heater carried in the server and attached to the outside bottom surface of the reservoir for conductively transferring energy from the heater to a beverage retained in the reservoir;a dispensing station for receiving at least one server thereon;a controller programmed for preheating the reservoir before depositing beverage therein. 8. A method of preheating a reservoir in a beverage server positionable in and separable from a brewer, the method comprising the steps of: providing a brewer for receiving a server;providing a server with a reservoir for retaining a beverage;providing a passage in the server communicating with the reservoir;providing a heater carried in the server attached to the outside bottom surface of the reservoir for transferring energy by conduction from the heater to the reservoir;providing a controller coupled to the heater for controllably adding energy to the reservoir;preheating the reservoir before dispensing beverage to the reservoir; anddispensing beverage into the preheated reservoir. 9. A method of preheating a reservoir in a beverage server positionable in and separable from a brewer to prevent a decrease in the temperature of a beverage upon being dispensed into the reservoir, the method comprising the steps of: providing a brewer for receiving a server;providing a server with a reservoir for retaining a beverage;providing a passage in the server communicating with the reservoir;providing a heater carried in the server and attached to the outside bottom surface of the reservoir for conductively transferring energy from the heater to the reservoir;providing a controller coupled to the heater for controlling the heating of the reservoir;activating the heater for transferring energy to the reservoir to conductively heat the reservoir before dispensing beverage to the reservoir to prevent a decrease in the temperature of beverage dispensed into the reservoir; anddispensing beverage into the preheated reservoir of the server. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising the step of adding energy to the reservoir prior to dispensing beverage into the reservoir and continuing to add energy to the reservoir after the start of dispensing beverage to the reservoir. 11. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of terminating the heating of the reservoir after a predetermined time. 12. The method of claim 10 further comprising the steps of terminating the heating of the reservoir after a predetermined time and activating the heater after a second period of time. 13. The method of claim 12 further comprising the steps of repeatedly terminating the heating of the reservoir after a predetermined time and activating the heater after a second period of time for a predetermined number of terminating and activating cycles. 14. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of terminating the heating of the reservoir after achieving a temperature within a predetermined temperature range. 15. The method of claim 9 further comprising the step of adding energy to at least one of the reservoir and the air in the reservoir prior to dispensing beverage into the reservoir. 16. The method of claim 9 further comprising the steps of: providing a heating coil positioned on an outside surface of the reservoir;heating the corresponding surface of the reservoir; andtransferring heat to the reservoir for controllably preheating the reservoir and for controllably heating a beverage to be dispensed therein. 17.
