Abstract: A food processing device configured to process a food product stored in a pod is disclosed. The food processing device may further include a drive assembly. The drive assembly may include a drive motor configured to move linearly in the vertical direction, and a linear actuator coupled to the drive motor. The linear actuator may cause the drive motor to move linearly in the vertical direction. The drive assembly may further include a drive shaft coupled to the drive motor. The drive shaft may be configured to engage or disengage with the top shaft of the pod owing to the linear movement of the drive motor in vertical direction. Upon engaging with the tops shaft of the pod, the drive shaft may be further configured to impart rotary motion to the top shaft.

Abstract: The invention relates to method and system for generating a Bill of Materials (BOM) for a product. In some embodiments, the method includes acquiring information associated with a component of the product using communicatively connected information recording instruments. The information may include measurement parameters recorded using communicatively connected measuring instruments. The method further includes automatically populating a set of data fields from among a plurality of data fields in a graphic user interface (GUI) based on the acquired information and a shape of the component, receiving a validation command from the user via the GUI, and storing the plurality of data fields as one of a plurality of records in a BOM database for the product upon receiving the validation command. The shape of the component may be selected by a user from a list of pre-defined shapes or may be identified based on an image of the component.
