Overview of innovation

Removable containers placed into the appliance base are lit up and dispensed when selected by the mobile app. Automotive MOSFETS control pulsing solenoid actuators which dispense set volumes with each pulse using one-hot encoded input/output command protocol. Intentional design of the circuit and container aimed to replace the manual motions of opening a jar, scooping out a substance, leveling the volume and dropping the volume into a container with a single mechanical motion. Circuit design aimed to reduce the number of required components such that functionality could be performed primarily with transistors operating at 12V.
