Abstract: A laundry washing machine and method control a time or duration of a drain operation at least in part based upon a type of a load being washed in the laundry washing machine. By doing so, the amount of time in which a drain operation is performed may be customized for different types of loads, and in many instances, may reduce the amount of noise and/or energy consumption associated with draining a wash tub during a wash cycle.

Abstract: A microwave oven container may include a body for containing a liquid, an agitator projecting through a bottom wall of the body to agitate the liquid contained in the body, where the agitator includes a first end located in the body and a second end located exterior to the body. The second end of the agitator is able to couple with a turntable drive of a microwave oven to power movement of the agitator in response to rotation of the turntable drive. The container may also include a cage located within the body that substantially surrounds the first end of the agitator and includes a plurality of openings to allow liquid contained in the body to pass through the cage.

Abstract: A leakage current compensation system may be used in an appliance such as a cooking appliance or another device utilizing a sheathed electrical heating element, and may sense a leakage current in one or more phases of a multi-phase power circuit that supplies the appliance or other device using a current transformer and generate a compensating current in a different phase of the multi-phase power circuit to compensate for the leakage current and thereby reduce the likelihood of a false GFCI trip in the multi-phase power circuit.

Abstract: A thermal imaging system for a cooking appliance is capable of being calibrated for any arrangement of cooktop burners disposed on a surface of a cooking appliance. A thermal imaging system can be calibrated by processing a received thermal scan of a surface of a cooking appliance having a particular cooktop arrangement to identify a plurality of cooktop burners on the surface of the cooking appliance for the particular arrangement, determine a number of cooktop burners in the particular arrangement, and determine one or more locations of the cooktop to assign to each of the cooktop burners. Further, the determined one or more locations assigned to each of the cooktop burners can be stored in association with a respective cooktop burner. Once calibrated, the thermal imaging system can calculate a temperature for each of the cooktop burners to be used in performing subsequent control and/or safety functions.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of locating a wireless power transmitter in which a variable load coupled to a wireless power receiver configured to receive a wireless power signal from the wireless power transmitter is controllably varied to maintain a harvested voltage of the wireless power signal within a predetermined range. By doing so, power supplied to a wirelessly powered appliance coupled to the wireless power receiver is maintained within an operational envelope of the wirelessly powered appliance.
