A dispenser contains a chamber enclosed by an upper wall and a lower wall, both walls are oriented parallel to each other. The upper wall has a vertically bored inlet port and the lower wall has a plurality of vertically bored outlet ports for providing access to the chamber. The outlet ports are geometrically arranged in an array pattern characterized by equidistantly spaced rows and columns of bores. There is a plurality of baffle plates interposed between the upper wall and the lower wall. The baffle plates, which are spatially separated from each other, are oriented parallel to and spatially separated from the upper and lower walls. The baffle plates have a plurality of vertically bored holes for providing access between the inlet port and the outlet ports, whereby the dispenser is effective in providing homogeneous flow of fluid through the outlet ports.

An automatic video content parser for parsing video shots such that they are represented in their native media and retrievable based on their visual contents. This system provides methods for temporal segmentation of video sequences into individual camera shots using a novel twin-comparison method. The method is capable of detecting both camera shots implemented by sharp break and gradual transitions implemented by special editing techniques, including dissolve, wipe, fade-in and fade-out; and content-based key frame selection of individual shots by analyzing the temporal variation of video content and selecting a key frame once the difference of content between the current frame and a preceding selected key frame exceeds a set of preselected thresholds.
