Abstract: An induction cooktop includes a glass-ceramic substrate defining a cooking surface and an underside opposite the cooking surface and an induction heating coil positioned beneath the underside of the cooking surface. The induction cooktop further includes an infrared sensor directed toward the underside of the glass-ceramic substrate and outputting a first temperature reading of the glass-ceramic substrate during heating of a cooking article positioned on the cooking surface using the induction heating coil and a far-infrared sensor directed through the glass-ceramic substrate and outputting a second temperature reading of the cooking article and the glass-ceramic substrate. A controller determines a temperature of the cooking article using the first temperature reading from the infrared sensor and the second temperature reading from the far-infrared sensor.

Abstract: An object tracking system is disclosed. The system comprises an appliance comprising at least one operating volume and an access region through which the operating volume is accessed. The system further comprises at least one imager and a controller. The controller is operable to detect at least one part of a person's body in the access region based on the image data and identify the object in connection with the part of the person's body. Based on the detection of the object in connection with the person's body, the controller is configured to identify the object. An action is determined for the object based on one or more characteristics of the physical object indicated in the image data.
