  • Publication number: 20180250682
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing two or more batches of material. A first batch is placed into a first container and a second batch is placed into a second container. A grinding media is added to each of the first and second containers. The first and second containers are placed into a movable body, which is moved to induce movement of the first and second containers at least under gravitational force in the movable body so that the grinding media grind the first and second batches inside their respective first and second containers. A system is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7724985
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method retrieves a vector image from a device that is a target of an image request. The vector image illustrates at least a portion of the device. A first image style identifier, associated with a first set of style attributes for the vector image, is located within the vector image. A search is conducted for a second set of style attributes for the vector image, the second set of style attributes being stored apart from the vector image, and the second set of style attributes being given a higher priority than the first set of style attributes for the vector image. If the second set of style attributes is found, the vector image is caused to be formatted using at least the second set of style attributes. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7631269
    Abstract: In one embodiment, in response to receiving an image request, a computer-implemented method 1) retrieves a vector image from a device that is a target of the image request, the vector image illustrating at least a portion of the device; 2) retrieves physical state information for a configurable component of the device; 3) formats the vector image in response to the physical state information by, A) identifying a component state tag within the vector image, the component state tag being associated with the configurable component and a set of vectors defining a component state image, and B) in accord with the physical state information, setting a display indicator corresponding to the component state tag, the display indicator affecting display of the component state image during display of the vector image; and 4) returns a formatted version of the vector image. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
