Patent number: 11547244Abstract: A unit of a coffee apparatus, in particular a coffee machine for brewing a coffee drink, includes a coffee bean container for storing the coffee beans, a portioner for portioning the coffee beans for an individual portion, and a grinder for grinding the portioned coffee beans. The coffee bean container and the portioner are formed in a common container module. The unit has a module receptacle, by which the container module can be connected during use and removed after use, and the container module has settings for a portion amount and a degree of grinding, which can be selected by the user. The portion amount setting influences the portioner and the degree of grinding setting influences the grinder. A simple, cost-effective and easy-to-use information exchange module between coffee container and coffee apparatus is thereby created.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Creatrix AGInventors: Louis Deuber, Patrick Schrepfer, Claudio Foscan, Christian Schultheiss

Patent number: 11379251Abstract: A method for executing and translating a computer program in a computer network, in particular for controlling a microscope, wherein in the case of at least one function call to the relevant second function, multiple return values from multiple preceding function calls are transferred as separate parameters. This allows significantly more complex and flexible function calls. More flexibility in the execution of container-based functions of a computer program in a computer network can additionally be achieved in that the computer program has not only function calls but also instructions for controlling the program flow, for example instructions for the conditional execution of program sections and jump instructions. The development of container-based computer programs can be simplified and speeded up by providing a database that contains the execution requirements of the function modules and also the interface definitions thereof. This permits a static typing of variables.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignees: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH, Carl Zeiss AGInventors: Christian Schultheiss, Stefan Schneider, Daniel Butnaru, Sreenivas Naga Bhattiprolu, Bernhard Fichtl, Norbert Riedelsheimer, Benjamin Mosig
