20090255333 | MEASURING CUP - A measuring cup includes a wall structure surrounding a holding space to hold contents, an opening exposing the holding space, and a surface pattern provided on the wall structure. The surface pattern includes a plurality of concave patterns superposed on each other. Each concave pattern is vertically concave such that edges therebetween are protruded to form a plurality of first visually observable lines indicative of a first set of predetermined volumes within the holding space. | 10-15-2009 |
20100072100 | DRY INGREDIENTS CONTAINER - A container comprises a storage compartment and a lid. The storage compartment may be formed of plastic, and may include indicia of measuring. The lid may be removably attached to the storage compartment by a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism may be sturdy enough to contain the contents of the storage compartment, even when those contents are substantially heavy. The contents of the storage compartment may pass through an opening in the lid. The opening may be covered by a removably attached closure, and the closure may include indicia of measuring. The closure may thus be removed from the lid, and used as a measuring device. A scoop may be removably attached to the inside of the lid, may include indicia of measuring, and may be used as a measuring device. | 03-25-2010 |

20150131653 | LABEL STACK IDENTIFICATION FOR LAWFUL INTERCEPTION OF VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK TRAFFIC - Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media, such as storage devices and/or storage disks) to implement label stack identification for lawful interception of virtual private network traffic are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein can include detecting a trigger that is to cause synchronization of label stack data associated with first virtual private network traffic to be intercepted, the label stack data used to route the first virtual private network traffic in a network. Such example methods can also include, in response to detecting the trigger, initiating execution of a first command on a first router in the network to determine a first label used to route the first virtual private network traffic in the network. Such example methods can further include determining a current label stack for the first virtual private network traffic based on the first label. | 05-14-2015 |
