  • Publication number: 20240197106
    Abstract: A consumer countertop grind-and-brew machine for coffee, or a grinder for nut butter and similar foodstuffs. The grinder burr and container for pre-ground food are connected, so that they can be replaced as an assembly. Thus, different family members that like caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, or that prefer peanut, almond, and cashew butter can each grind their own preferred foodstuff, and swap out the grinder between to prevent cross-contamination.

  • Publication number: 20220379019
    Abstract: An inserter assembly comprising a first unit including a skin contacting face which surrounds an opening and a second unit housed within the first unit. The second unit comprises an infusion set base disposed within the opening and having a bottom face which is substantially level with the skin contacting face and covered at least partially with adhesive and further comprising a spring biased insertion assembly. The second unit further comprising a cannula sub assembly carried by an insertion sharp of the insertion assembly. The spring biased insertion assembly and a cannula of the cannula sub assembly are driven into skin and the cannula sub assembly is coupled into the infusion set base by an insertion spring which is released from an energy storing state after the skin has been tugged upward beyond a certain distance by the adhesive as the inserter assembly is withdrawn from the body.
