Publication number: 20230172388Abstract: An apparatus and method for sharing capsule image data and beverage preparation parameters, from one or more beverage preparation machines with a remote computer system via a network, such as the Internet, is disclosed. The remote computer system may process the capsule image data to determine characteristics of the capsule (e.g., a type of capsule, such as a brand, or beverage ingredients in the capsule), thereby relieving the beverage preparation from having to determine information about the capsule. The remote computer may track a user's consumption of capsules, may compare this value to the user's past capsule purchase history, and may determine if the user's supply of capsules is below a threshold value (e.g., below a week's worth of capsules).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.Inventors: Ian Tinkler, Jianming Huang, Kevin William Hartley, Cameron McLeod, Samuel Ross Rulli, Nicholas George Ioannidis, James K. Lynch, Brian David Rheaume, Jeffrey Sol Hadden, Philip Ross Hadley, Yvona Hlobilova

Patent number: 10733291Abstract: A device, such as a payment reader, may include one or more units capable of providing access to sensitive data. Such units may be connected to each other through tamper traces. A secure unit can send known keys or key-value pairs between the units using a multi-directional protocol. The keys or key-value pairs are then compared by the secure unit to monitor or detect a tamper event.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventor: Cameron McLeod

Patent number: 10038408Abstract: A chopper stabilized amplifier that utilizes a multi-frequency chopping signal to reduce chopping artifacts. By utilizing a multi-frequency chopping signal, the amplifier DC offset and flicker noise are translated to the higher chopping frequencies but are also smeared, or spread out in frequency and consequently lowered in amplitude. This lower amplitude signal allows for less stringent filtering requirements.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Cactus Semiconductor, Inc.Inventor: Scott Cameron McLeod

Patent number: 5736878Abstract: A very fast circuit for tracking an input signal and holding the value for digitization comprises a holding capacitor, two charging circuits connected to either side of the capacitor and extending between a constant current generator and a supply voltage. Each charging circuit has an input transistor responsive to an analog input signal and a load including the capacitor, as well as a series switching transistor responsive to a sample signal to permit a tracking mode or forcing a hold mode. The load includes a diode to effect a low resistance during the tracking mode when the capacitor is charging and a very high resistance during the hold mode when the capacitor is discharging.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1996Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: Delco Electronics CorporaitonInventor: Scott Cameron McLeod
