  • Publication number: 20240057807
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for brewing a desired portion of a beverage, such as a single-cup portion of coffee, are provided. The system can include one or more hopper assemblies configured to provide a controlled dose of beverage material to a brew chamber. The system can also include a water input system configured to wet the ground beverage material as the grinds enter the brew chamber and substantially prevent steam from reaching grinder components of the system. Further, the system can include an automatic cleaning mechanism such that a user does not need to manually clean components of a brewing machine between brew cycles.

  • Patent number: 11237395
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spectacle-type device (1) in which a full image can be depicted in a reliable manner by overlapping the first partial image (?3) and the second partial image (?4), wherein a correct full image can be perceived by the operator (2), and an action can be carried out with reliability when at least two items of image information coincide. The invention also relates to a method for depicting a full image and/or for carrying out an action using a spectacle-type device.

  • Patent number: 11233630
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for a self-encrypting device (SED) incorporated into a host system. In one example, the host system includes a memory, a processor, a data channel in communication with the memory and the processor, and the SED. The SED comprises an authentication subsystem, a storage subsystem that stores encrypted data that is encrypted with an encryption key provided by the authentication subsystem, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, and a data interface in electrical contact with the data channel. The data interface is locked from sending and receiving data until the SED is unlocked by the authentication subsystem with user-authentication information received via the RF transceiver.

  • Patent number: 11190936
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing electronic devices with autonomous wireless authentication. In one example, the security system includes one or more computer processors, a memory, and a communication channel configured to be coupled to an electronic system. The security system further includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver configured to receive user-authentication information from a wireless device, and an authentication subsystem for authenticating a user. The authentication subsystem enables the use of the electronic system based on the received user-authentication information. Further, the authentication subsystem sends, over the communication channel, an enable command to the electronic system after the user is authenticated, and the electronic system is not operable until the enable command is received.

  • Patent number: 10783232
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for remote management of self-encrypting managed devices (SEMDs) with embedded wireless authentication. One method includes providing a user interface to access a management server for managing users and devices. The SEMD is in wireless communication with the mobile device and is connection with the management server. Additionally, the management server checks user-authentication information of the user for unlocking access to the SEMD before is enabled to unlock the SEMD via mobile application of the mobile device. Further, the management server sends an unlock command to the mobile device based on the checking, the mobile device sending an unlock request to the SEMD via the wireless communication. The SEMD is configured to unlock the data channel to provide data access to encrypted storage in the SEMD.
