  • Patent number: 10555642
    Abstract: A simple or multiple coffee grinder equipment, supplemented by a proportioner device, the latter equipped with means for measuring the weight of the ground product. The proportioner device controls the operation of the individual coffee grinders, and stops grinding upon reaching the desired weight of ground product for each individual quality. The proportioner device also includes a special mechanism to improve the mixing and homogenization of the ground product, as well as to prevent the formation of lumps.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9133928
    Abstract: An autofunction control system for motor vehicles comprising an engine, a transmission and an accelerator, the position of the accelerator defining a set ERPM, the system configured to define a desired percentage of maximum available power for each set ERPM, the system configured to control the transmission ratio of the transmission to load the engine at least to the desired percentage of power, wherein the desired percentage of power is a function of the set ERPM when the set ERPM is between a low threshold and a high threshold, and wherein the system is configured to control the transmission ratio to load the engine closest to the maximum available absolute power for the engine for a set ERPM above the high threshold ERPM.
