  • Patent number: 11119975
    Abstract: A digital design application plugin for content updates and delivery includes an export function and an import function. The export function extracts content items from a specified SKETCH file to a named file having a different file format, each content item having a path and one or more identifiers. In response to receiving a request to import from the named file to the specified SKETCH file, the import function updates the specified SKETCH file by parsing the named file for the path and the one or more identifiers; traverses the specified SKETCH file according to the path obtained from the named file for that content item; compares identifiers associated with that content item and the content itself to identify any changes from the named file; and modifies the content of the specified SKETCH file with the changes as indicated by the named file.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10325348
    Abstract: A method for generating a plurality of vector images with specified dimensions includes: storing a composite image comprised of one or more base vector graphics images; receiving a data file from an external computing system, wherein the data file includes a plurality of dimensional data sets, each dimensional data set comprising at least a length and a height; parsing the received data file to identify each of the plurality of dimensional data sets and the associated length and width; generating a vector graphics image file for each of the plurality of dimensional data sets, wherein the vector graphics image file comprises an image based on the stored composite image and has dimensions based on the length and height associated with the respective dimensional data set; and transmitting the generated vector graphics image file for each of the plurality of dimensional data sets to the external computing system.

  • Patent number: 8945654
    Abstract: A method of producing a food product such as a colored veined cheese product includes providing a cheese curd to which a flavorant is added. The cheese curd and the flavorant are worked into a homogenous mixture. A colored vein mimetic is added to the homogeneous mixture in an amount for a time sufficient to produce the colored veins within the cheese product such that the cheese product has a flavor and an appearance of a naturally veined cheese.

  • Publication number: 20060029713
    Abstract: A method of forming a heat stable oil-in-water emulsion comprises providing a selected amount of an aqueous component comprising more than 50 weight percent water. The aqueous component is optionally heated and a selected amount of a solids component is added to the aqueous component under agitation to form a first intermediate. A selected amount of a milk fat containing component is heated to a temperature sufficient to predominantly melt the fat prior to being to the first intermediate to form a second intermediate. The second intermediate is optionally heated for a selected period of time. The second intermediate is homogenized at between about 250 psig and 5000 psig to form the heat stable oil-in-water emulsion comprising less than 30 weight percent milk fat. A thickening agent is added to the homogenized oil-in-water emulsion to form the heat stable oil-in-water emulsion of the present invention.
