  • Patent number: 10415555
    Abstract: A beverage dispenser includes a dispenser housing having a first inlet, a piston being disposed in the dispenser housing, with the piston having a chamber extending through the piston, where the piston is movable in the dispenser housing between an open position and a closed position. The first inlet is in fluid communication with the chamber when in the open position. The first inlet is blocked from fluid communication with the chamber when in the closed position.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150245010
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for gesture capturing, detection, recognition, and mapping them into commands that allow one or more users to interact with electronic games or any electronic device interfaces. Gesture recognition methods, apparatus and system are disclosed from which application developers can incorporate gesture-to-character inputs into their gaming, learning or the like applications. Also herein are systems and methods for receiving 3D data reflecting hand, fingers or other body parts movements of a user, and determining from that data whether the user has performed gesture commands for controlling electronic devices, or computer applications such as games or others.

  • Patent number: 8281039
    Abstract: A system for multimedia communications implemented with reconfigurable technology is disclosed. The system includes: a SIP engine implemented in hardware that executes functions defined by Session Initiation Protocol (SIP); a XML engine implemented in hardware that executes functions defined by Extensible Markup Language (XML); and an interface that coordinates functions executed by the SIP engine and the XML engine. A standard set of features are provided for robust communications while permitting the addition of more features to enhance the multimedia communications experience. For example, audio and video communication, instant messaging and presence can be provided by the system while P2P and IP Multimedia Systems (IMS) can be provided through expansion. Reconfigurable technology allows the system to achieve optimal performance in performing various tasks.
