Abstract: A machine with a grinder, a grind chute for delivering coffee grounds along a flow path and into a portafilter fitted to the machine, and a tamping unit with a tamping mechanism for pressing the coffee grounds held by the portafilter into a puck, wherein the tamping mechanism includes a linkage connected to a tamp, the linkage being arranged to press a face of the tamp in an axial direction with respect of the portafilter during a tamping operation, and wherein the linkage returns the tamp to a rest position where the tamp face is moved laterally, out of the flow path. The invention also relates to a machine for delivering coffee grounds to a portafilter, a tamping mechanism and a coffee grinding machine.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for video encoding/decoding. An apparatus includes processing circuitry that decodes prediction information of a current block in a current picture that is a part of a coded video bitstream. The prediction information indicates a non-directional intra prediction mode for the current block. The processing circuitry partitions the current block into a plurality of partitions. The plurality of partitions includes at least one L-shaped partition. The processing circuitry reconstructs one of the plurality of partitions based on at least one of (i) neighboring reconstructed samples of the one of the plurality of partitions or (ii) neighboring reconstructed samples of the current block.
