Patent number: 12245718Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Starbucks CorporationInventors: Randy Hulett, David Doucette, Dan Apone, Izaak Koller, Amanda L.

Patent number: 11265711Abstract: Techniques for enabling a user computing device to manage a controlled device only when the user computer device is physically proximate to the controlled device are disclosed. The controlled device repeatedly provides codes that change at select times and the user computing device sends the last received or captured code back to the controlled device. The user computing device is enabled to manage the controlled device when the most recent code sent by the user computing device matches one or more codes most recently provided by the controlled device. Additionally or alternatively, the user computing device is enabled to manage the controlled device when the user and controlled devices connect to the same access point. A technique for enabling the user computing device to share, mirror, or cast a screen on the user computing device onto a display of the controlled device is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Stephen Hoyt Houchen, Charles Albert Vermette, Jr.
