  • Patent number: 10492645
    Abstract: The invention described herein is directed to an inline spiral cutting food processor that includes a motor that rotates an upper positioned disc with a blade assembly by means of a belt or gear assembly or mechanism. The entrance and exit chute are fixed and positioned in-line with the axis of rotation of the blade supporting disc member. The entrance chute is positioned above the cutting disc, and the exit opening (or chute) is below. During operation a food item is pushed down the entrance chute as the blade rotates and cuts it. Cut food falls down through the opening or exit chute into a storage container or jar. The food cutting assembly is configured to generate spiral or helical food from vegetables.

  • Publication number: 20190057008
    Abstract: A system is configured to track and store system and event data for various computing devices. The system is configured to associate the various computing devices with profiles based at least in part on characteristics of the computing devices. The system is further configured to compare performance data and/or performance metrics for particular computing devices having a particular profile against all other devices that share the particular profile. The system then displays this comparison to a user of the particular computing device, substantially automatically diagnoses an issue with the particular computing device based on the performance and system event data, and/or enables the user to diagnose the problem based on the performance and system event data.
