Abstract: The present disclosure relates to configuring and operating Internet of things (IoT) elements connected by a network. A computing device receives a request to generate a rule for coordinating operation of a plurality of IoT elements. The computing device determines whether the request satisfies restrictions as described in descriptions of interface components of the plurality of IoT elements in the computing device by referencing descriptions of interface components. The interface components correspond to the plurality of IoT elements. The computing device generates the rule responsive to determining that the request satisfies the restrictions, and sends an action signal over the network based on the rule to operate one or more of the plurality of IoT elements.

Abstract: An apparatus for extracting juice from food matter. The apparatus includes a liquid impermeable compartment having an outer perimeter and a food matter region contained within the outer perimeter. A deployable outlet may be formed in the liquid impermeable compartment outside of the food matter region. A corresponding system and method are also disclosed and claimed herein.

Abstract: A client application includes a user interface for creating and editing complex interactions between IoT elements. Users choose from multiple IoT elements, where each element representing an IoT-enabled device or service. Users drag and drop selected IoT elements into a grid and couple them via one or more connectors. Users edit connectors and specify conditional requirements for some IoT devices to perform actions based on information sourced from other IoT devices. Users implement combinational logic by connecting multiple elements in different ways.
