A reel holder is disclosed. In some embodiments, the reel holder comprises an opening configured to receive and hold a reel having packaging material and a transceiver configured to communicate with a tag in the reel to receive information stored in the tag. A filling machine system is also disclosed. In some embodiments, the filling machine system comprises a reel holder and a reel provided with a tag.

Automatic coffee machines have very low thermal efficiency because they have to heat a considerable thermal mass, constituted by the heater) appearing in FIG., which has a weight generally ranging between 0.5 and 1 Kg of metal, typically consisting of aluminum. Said mass is used to stabilize the temperature of the water to be injected in the blend of coffee. In this configuration, 90% or more of the thermal energy is wasted. The energy saving coffee machine, the subject matter of the present invention, is instead constructed with a heater), appearing in FIG., that has a thermal mass much lower than the mass of the liquid to be heated, and is typically constructed with metal tube), as shown in FIG., weighing a few grams. The heating current) in FIG.flows directly on said tube, heating it together with the water contained therein, while a very rapid temperature control circuit makes it possible to maintain a constant temperature of the water flowing through the heater) shown in FIG.. Temperature measurement is carried out by monitoring the resistance of the tube) shown in FIG., at the times in which the heating current) is not passing through the latter. In this manner, high energy efficiency is obtained, in that the dispensing of the coffee begins immediately upon pressing the start push button) and the machine is kept completely switched off between the dispensing of one cup of coffee and the next.

Substantially-linear dipole antenna for safety helmets, of the type comprising two conductive branches arranged to be electrically connected, at one of their ends, to respective radio equipment, the two conductive branches being disposed substantially aligned. The two conductive branches have a length essentially equal to &#xbc; of the expected operative wavelength of the radio equipment. The dipole antenna further comprises at least two conductive arms, each having a length essentially equal to &#xbd; of said operative wavelength, each of which is electrically connected respectively to the free end of both of the two conductive branches, both having a length essentially equal to &#xbc; of the operative wavelength.
