The invention may be broadly conceptualized as an approach in which the configuration of a radio (108) occurs by a user entering data into a graphical interface (110), the data is stored in a user profile (112) at a server (106) and also downloaded to the radio (108).

A bread making machine having an automated dispenser unit and a pause function is described. The automated dispenser unit is integrated within a chamber lid covering a bread making chamber in which bread making ingredients are mixed, kneaded, and baked. The automated dispenser accepts certain ingredients, such as fruit and/or nuts, which are automatically added to the bread making chamber after significant processing of other ingredients in the bread making chamber has occurred. The automatic dispenser unit includes a dispenser door adjacent to the bread making chamber. The dispenser door is held in a closed position by a latch assembly. The latch assembly is mechanically linked to a solenoid core, which moves in response to a control signal issued by electronic control circuitry, causing the dispenser door to open. The bread making machine includes a pause function, which allows a user to temporarily suspend the bread making operation at any time, by pressing a pause key on a user interface keyboard. The bread making operation resumes after a selected time interval has elapsed. The selected time interval may be determined cither by the user or by the electronic control circuitry.

A roaster (100) includes an upper pan (302) with an upper side wall (304) and an upper pan heating element embedded in the upper pan (302), a lower pan (402) connected to the upper pan (302), with a lower side wall (404) and a lower pan heating element embedded in the lower pan (402). Upper pan (302) and a lower pan (402) regulators may be set to different temperatures. The roaster includes a grease drain opening (406), and time and temperature control for both heating elements.

The invention may be broadly conceptualized as an approach in which a microwave oven (120) receives a plurality of program recipes from a network that are executed by scanning with a scanner (1326) a symbol and associating the scanned symbol with one of the plurality of program recipes while keeping a real-time clock (1308) synchronized and correctly set by receiving period time synchronization messages.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a temperature compensated timer for a heating appliance that heats a food item during a heating cycle. The timer includes a coil (312) having first and second terminals and presenting a resistance between the terminals that is a function of temperature changes of the coil. A timing circuit is coupled to the first and second terminals of the coil. The timing circuit operates to drive a current through the coil to maintain a heating cycle and to generate a delay signal a delay time after the heating cycle is initiated. The delay time has a value that is a function of the resistance of the coil. The delay signal is operable to remove the current from the coil to terminate the heating cycle.

A cooking device (1) including a lower housing (5) pivotally connected by connecting unit (7) to an upper housing (3). The cooking device (1) also includes heating plates (11, 13) and a heating units. The heating plates (11, 13) are removably attached to the upper housing and the lower housing. The heating unit (17, 19) are disposed in the upper housing and the lower housing and includes a heating element (27) and a heat conducting plate (25) between the heating element (27) and the heating plate (11, 13). The heat conducting plate (25) conducts heat from the heating element (27) to the heating plate (11, 13).

The invention may be broadly conceptualized as an approach in which an intelligent controller (102) is in communication with appliances (116-122) over the alternating current home wiring and is in communication with a user profile (204) contained in a database (202) at a web server (104) via a modem (206) enabling configuration and programming of the appliances (116-122) to occur over a web device (112) in addition to time synchronization of the clocks in the intelligent controller (102) and appliances (116-122) with the web server (104) in order to maintain the correct time.
