Patent number: 11928724Abstract: Customer-device application sites (e.g., content presented via a progressive web applications) that are accessible via merchant-managed identifiers (e.g., identification codes) are described. An identification of a physical location associated with a merchant can be associated with an identification code. The identification code can be received from a computing device of a customer and, based at least in part on receiving the identification code, merchant data associated with the merchant can be caused to be presented via a web browser of the computing device of the customer. In an example, the merchant data can be presented via the web browser by a progressive web application downloaded onto the computing device of the customer via the web browser. An indication of an input received via the progressive web application can be received by the computing device of the customer and an operation based at least in part on the input can be performed.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Katherine Swett, Drew Richards, Xuanhua Ren, Neil Straghalis, Vitaly Odemchuk, Lisa Fong, Katherine Ahn, David Pearson

Patent number: 8905628Abstract: A blending and dispensing appliance is provided which includes a blending container, a housing having a recess for receiving and supporting the blending container, and an agitator to agitate contents placed therein. A conduit is disposed on an outer sidewall of the blending container and fluidly connected to the blending container. An auger is disposed in the conduit and is rotated within the conduit when a dispensing arm is depressed. The rotating auger extrudes blended contents through the conduit from the blending container to a dispensing spout for further directing the blended contents into a beverage container. A motorized base containing both an agitator and auger motor selectively provide rotary power to the agitator and auger, respectively. A control system is provided for controlling the operation of auger and the agitator so that the contents placed into the beverage container are blended to a desired consistency.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventors: Scott Ledger, Augusto Picozza, David Swett
