Patent number: 11052358Abstract: A container includes a receptacle to hold nutrients and other food contents for a smoothie. The container is used with a larger vessel such as a blender into which the capsule is inserted and into which water or other fluid is poured. When the blender is closed, the container opens to release its contents for blending with the fluid into a delicious, healthful smoothie. The container may have a cover with opening flaps and relatively movable elements that pivot the flaps open when opposite forces are applied to the container by the larger vessel.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: VEJO IP AGInventors: Christoph Bertsch, Werner Balkau

Patent number: 10824699Abstract: There are disclosed methods and apparatus to manufacture an inventory of finished physical print products from a base work including one or more images. Print metadata is assigned to each print of an image from the base work, the print metadata including an identification of the base work and a provenance of the base work. For each print, at least one cryptographic hash is generated of the image, the print metadata, and an index value of a security feature embedded into a physical substrate on which the image is printed. The cryptographic hash is then written to a node of a transaction processing network.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Eight Plus Ventures, LLCInventors: Christoph Bertsch, Rodney Lake, Douglas Sturgeon, Anthony Sziklai
