20130343852 | Trash Rake Attachment for Front End Loaders - A tractor having a front end loader has a bucket with tines attached to the underside of the bucket. The front end loader is used to raise/lower and tilt the bucket in a conventional fashion in order to position the tines where they can gather trash by driving the tractor forwardly towards the trash. The trash can be picked up by first tipping the front end of the bucket up, which tips the bottom of the tines up as well. Secondly, the bucket, tines and trash can then be lifted using the front end loader. Thirdly, the tractor can then be driven to a place where the trash is to be dumped and fourthly, the bucket can be tipped so the front end of the bucket and thereby the bottom of the tines are tipped backwardly and upwardly to cause the trash to fall out of the tines. | 12-26-2013 |

20150305545 | Coffee Filter Insert - A coffee filter insert device for holding a coffee filter in an open configuration during the brewing process. The coffee filter insert is configured as a substantially circular loop or ring composed of a single wire. The wire has a serpentine shaped structure such that it has a plurality of sinusoidal waves. The coffee filter insert is capable of being inserted into the interior volume of a coffee filter in order to prevent the collapse and deformation of the sidewalls of the coffee filter during the brewing process. The coffee filter insert is preferably semi-rigid in order to enable the user to manually adjust the configuration thereof and thereafter the manually formed structure retains the desired shape. The coffee filter insert is composed of a durable, heat resistant material that will not inhibit or interfere with the operation of the coffee maker. | 10-29-2015 |

20090165021 | Model-Based Composite Application Platform - Embodiments provide an architecture to enable composite, autonomous composite applications and services to be built and deployed. In addition, an infrastructure is provided to enable communication between and amongst distributed applications and services. In one or more embodiments, an example architecture includes or otherwise leverages five logical modules including connectivity services, process services, identity services, lifecycle services and tools. | 06-25-2009 |
20090216778 | ACCESSING DIFFERENT APPLICATION DATA VIA A COMMON DATA STRUCTURE - A common data type structure can be used to correlate access requests between applications that implement data in accordance with different types or type structures. In one implementation, a common data structure includes schemes for operations, sequences, records, and atoms (i.e., undefined). The system can then map any type structure to the schemes of the common data structure. In operation, a request for data by an application can involve identifying one or more proxies used by an application to map the data to the common data structure. The proxies map the data to the common data structure based on the shape of the data (to the extent it can be identified). The proxies then can return one or more data structures that comprise the identified mapping information. The application can then perform operations directly on the received data structures. | 08-27-2009 |
20090216791 | EFFICIENTLY CORRELATING NOMINALLY INCOMPATIBLE TYPES - A nominal type framework can be configured to efficiently correlate different nominal types together based on a minimum set of common type shapes or structures. In one implementation, a developer identifies a number of different nominal types of interest (source types), and identifies the minimum set of common type shapes to be accessed by an application program. The minimum set of common type shapes can then be used to create an intermediate type (target type) to which each of the other different source types can be mapped. For example, one or more proxies can be created that map shapes of the one or more source types to corresponding shapes of the created target type. The application program created by the developer, in turn, can access, operate on, or otherwise use the mapped data of each different source type through a single target type. | 08-27-2009 |

20080282951 | SEED HOPPER AND ROUTING STRUCTURE FOR VARYING MATERIAL DELIVERY TO ROW UNITS - Left and right main hoppers offset laterally from each other on opposite sides of the centerline of a seeding machine provide an operator access area between the hoppers. A third hopper located forwardly of and between the two main hoppers has a capacity less than that of each of the main hoppers for refuge or male seed. The hoppers are sized to maximize productivity. In one embodiment, first and second hoppers communicate with downstream conduit structure, and valve structure selects one or the other of the first and second hoppers for delivery of the material. The valve structure can be operated remotely and can be map based. Alternatively, selectively blockable nozzle structure is located in the first and second hoppers. Easily changeable connector structure facilitates row pattern selection and hose routing. | 11-20-2008 |
