20090051698METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING DIFFERENCES IN VECTOR GRAPHIC FILES - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for identifying differences in vector graphics files. A set of vector graphics file pairs are retrieved, wherein each vector graphics file pair in the set includes a first vector graphics file and a second vector graphics file. The first vector graphics file is compared with the second vector graphics file in each vector graphics file pair in the set using a one or more rules to form one or more comparisons. Differences are identified between the first and second vector graphics file in each vector graphics file pair in the set based on the comparisons. A merged file is created for each vector graphics file pair in the set containing differences from the comparisons to form results. The results are displayed in a graphical user interface after creating the merged file.02-26-2009

20090095165Machine for brewing a beverage such as coffee and related method - A machine for brewing a beverage such as coffee includes a chamber and a piston disposed in the chamber. The piston is operable to move to a first position to allow the chamber to receive a liquid and a flavor base such as ground coffee, to remain in the first position for a time sufficient for the beverage to brew, and to move to a second position to dispense the beverage by forcing the beverage out of the chamber. By modifying some or all steps of the French press brewing technique, the machine can typically control coffee-brewing parameters with a level of precision that yields brewed coffee having a uniform taste from cup to cup, and can typically brew the coffee with a speed that renders the machine suitable for use by establishments that serve significant amounts of coffee.04-16-2009

20090255772FULLY RECESSED TRANSLATION BIASED CANTILEVER LEG LUGGAGE DEVICE - A luggage device having fully recessed legs that may be selectively engaged to translate and pivot about an axis to facilitate controlled movement from a fully recessed storage position to an operative position for conveniently transporting large heavy objects within the luggage. The fully recessed translation biased cantilever leg luggage device includes a dextral leg recess for receiving a dextral leg, and a sinistral leg recess for receiving a sinistral leg. Each leg recess has an engagement region, a storage region, and a pivot. Additionally, the engagement region includes a leg engagement region storage location, a leg engagement region operative location, and a leg engagement region transition region; through which a portion of the leg pivots about the axis and transitions from the fully recessed storage position to an operative position.10-15-2009

20100154645Method for brewing a beverage such as coffee and related method - An embodiment of a machine for brewing a beverage such as coffee includes a chamber and a piston assembly disposed in the chamber. The chamber is operable to receive a liquid such as water and a flavor base such as ground coffee, and to allow the beverage to brew from a mixture of the liquid and the base. The piston assembly is operable to filter a solid such as spent coffee grounds from the brewed beverage by moving in a first direction, and to force the filtered beverage out of the chamber by moving in a second direction. By modifying or automating some or all steps of the French press brewing technique, such a machine may control one or more of the brewing parameters with a level of precision that yields brewed coffee having a uniform taste from cup to cup. Furthermore, such a machine may brew the coffee with a speed that renders the machine suitable for use by establishments that serve significant amounts of coffee.06-24-2010
