Claims (15)

1 . A dispensing device comprising:

a valve with an inlet area, a throttle pin coupled to the inlet area, a diaphragm, a support structure, a spring, and an outlet area;

a toggle configured to open and seal the outlet area based on a position of the toggle;

the diaphragm and the support structure are configured to generate an open state and a closed state based on a threshold pressure in the inlet area; and

the toggle configured to generate via one or more commands from one or more processors a first open time period based on recipe information received by the one or more processors.

2 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , further comprising a lever coupled to the toggle, the lever configured to move the toggle based on a position of the lever.

3 . The dispensing device of claim 2 , further comprising a spring configured to move the lever to a default position.

4 . The dispensing device of claim 3 , wherein the default position is a non-dispensing position.

5 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , further comprising a solenoid coupled to the toggle.

6 . The dispensing device of claim 5 , wherein the solenoid is configured to have a failed condition, the failed condition being a non-dispensing position.

7 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , further comprising a magnet coupled to the toggle.

8 . The dispensing device of claim 7 , wherein the magnet moves a blocking device based on a toggle position.

9 . The dispensing device of claim 8 , wherein the blocking device generates a first condition and a second condition based on the toggle position.
