    摘要: Provided is a coffee brewing apparatus (100) having tubing (108) that extends from a one-way valve (106) to a delivery outlet (109). Water is supplied via the delivery outlet into a receptacle (102) for containing coffee grounds. Heating of water in a heatable section (110) of the tubing generates water vapor bubbles. The one-way valve is arranged to restrict backflow, in a direction away from the delivery outlet, so that the heated water comprising water vapor bubbles is transported in the tubing from the heatable section to the delivery outlet. A sensor (120) senses bubbling in water in the tubing between the heatable section and the delivery outlet. This sensor has been found to facilitate control over how much heated water is carried to the receptacle, and accordingly the amount of brewed coffee produced, in a reliable, compact, and relatively low-cost manner. Further provided is a method of operating such a coffee brewing apparatus, and a related computer program.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a lifting apparatus for a cleaning assembly, a cleaning assembly, and a cleaner. A lifting apparatus for a cleaning assembly is adapted to be mounted in the cleaning assembly. The lifting apparatus includes: a motor including an output shaft; a roller coupled to the output shaft and configured, with rotation of the output shaft (310), to rotate about an axis (A) of the output shaft (310) along a first rotation direction (R1) or second rotation direction (R2), the first rotation direction (R1) being opposite to the second rotation direction (R2). The lifting apparatus further includes a boss. The boss is fixedly disposed on an end on one side adjacent to the roller and away from the output shaft, and configured to lift the roller when the roller rotates along the first rotation direction. In this way, there is no need for providing a drive apparatus of a lifting mechanism. In addition, the lifting mechanism is advantageous in simplicity, fewer parts, small structural space of the sweeper, high reliability, and low cost.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method (100) of controlling a cooking process implemented by a cooking apparatus is described. The method comprises receiving (102): first image data corresponding to a view of food at a first time of the cooking process; and second image data corresponding to the view of the food at a second time of the cooking process. The method further comprises determining (104): a first image parameter value from a part of the first image data that corresponds to a region of interest; a second image parameter value from the part of the second image data that corresponds to the region of interest; and an indication of a change to the cooked state based on a comparison of the first and second image parameter values. In response to the indication being outside a range specified for the cooking process between the first and second times, the method further comprises providing (106) a cooking parameter for the cooking apparatus to use to cook the food in such a way to compensate for the indication being outside the range.
