  • Patent number: 10479038
    Abstract: A juicer cartridge includes a liquid impermeable compartment at least partially surrounding food matter. An information region may be disposed on the liquid impermeable compartment, wherein the information region includes information for controlling at least one pressing parameter for pressing the juicer cartridge, such as a desired pressing speed, force profile, pressing temperature, total pressing stroke, number of pauses, number of press and/or retract cycles, and a distance of a press and/or retract cycle. The juicer cartridge may be used by placing it in the pressing chamber of a juicer that reads information from the information region and presses the juicer cartridge using the information.

  • Publication number: 20190339992
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: monitoring one or more types of system performance data, determining whether a current value corresponding to each of the types of system performance data is outside a respective predefined range, sending instructions to make adjustments to settings of a voltage regulator in response to determining that a current value corresponding to one of the types of system performance data is outside a respective predefined range, and performing an iterative process. The iterative process includes: determining whether an updated value corresponding to the one of the types of system performance data is outside the respective predefined range, and sending instructions to make additional adjustments to the settings of the voltage regulator in response to determining that the updated value corresponding to the one of the types of system performance data is outside the respective predefined range.

  • Publication number: 20190080128
    Abstract: A distributed system uniquely tracks individual consumable items within a stream of commerce and tracks ingredients used in consumable items. The distributed system further provided tracks the sale of the consumable items to the consumer. A point-of-consumption system (e.g., juicer) is used to allow consumer access to the consumable item and the distributed system controls the point-of-consumption system to control access to the consumable item, including blocking use or providing an alert when a consumable item should not be consumed due to recall, expiry, allergy, or other reason.

  • Publication number: 20190050560
    Abstract: The techniques described herein enable client APIs to be deployed within isolated computing environments while externally exposing and/or maintaining a log of computing events that the client APIs perform and/or attempt to perform within the isolated computing environments. Generally described, configurations disclosed herein enable audit parameters associated with client application programming interfaces (APIs) to be deployed within an isolated computing environment to generate a log of computing events performed by the client APIs. Ultimately, access to the log of computing events is provided externally to the isolated computing environment without exposing sensitive computing resources (e.g., a host operating system (OS)) to the various client APIs.

  • Patent number: 10046904
    Abstract: Embodiments related to juicing methods and apparatuses for extracting juice from food matter using juicer cartridges are described. In one embodiment, a juicer cartridge may include one or more separate internal compartments. Food matter loaded into the juicer cartridge may be compressed by a corresponding juicer and expelled through an outlet that may be sealed until activation. Food matter may be pre-sized according to various physical characteristics, and the juicer cartridge may be injected with a gas to enhance shelf life and reduce nutrient loss. The juicer may also be provided with “smart” functionality to provide safety features, track usage, and enhance the operator experience. Several embodiments of packing systems for preparing juicer cartridges are also described.

  • Publication number: 20180107476
    Abstract: An apparatus for voltage regulation device adjustment includes an external factor module that determines external factors, where the external factors include conditions external to an electronic device that affect operating performance and operating costs. The electronic device includes a voltage regulator device (“VRD”) providing power to one or more components of the electronic device. The apparatus includes a firmware selection module that selects new firmware for the VRD of the electronic device in response to the determined external factors, and a firmware update module that replaces previously installed firmware on the VRD with the new firmware. The new firmware includes control settings for the VRD.

The rotor (10) further comprises a first and a second outer frame (22, 24) formed of a non-ferromagnetic, electrically conducting material. Each outer frame (22, 24) has an inner periphery portion (32) and an outer periphery portion (34) and a plurality of bars (36) galvanically connecting the inner and outer periphery portions (32, 34). Gap portions (38) are defined between adjacent bars (36) and the inner and outer periphery portions (32, 34). The gap portions (38) are shaped complementary to the shaped protrusions (40) of the central frame (20).

  • Publication number: 20170295885
    Abstract: A process of making a family cell of homogenous inner bladders with varying elasticity includes a forming a plurality of inner bladders from a first material with a first elasticity. The inner bladders have interior surfaces during inner chambers and exterior surfaces exposed to an outside environment. The inner chambers are configured to store a fluid. A family cell is formed by fluidly connecting the inner bladders. One or more hybrid bladders are selected from the inner bladders and a second material having a second elasticity is applied to the hybrid bladders. The second elasticity is less than the first elasticity, such that the second material reduces the elastic qualities of the hybrid bladder.
