Publication number: 20240156303Abstract: A sandwich press or food holder for use with a cooking appliance, such as a toaster or oven. Sidewalls of the press that define a space in which a food item is received can have one or more ridges that define a convex surface inside the cavity and a concave surface on an exterior of the sidewall. The concave surface can be positioned adjacent a heating element when the press is received in a cooking cavity of the appliance. One or more openings can be provided in the sidewall, e.g., to allow radiant energy to pass and/or steam to escape. A handle can permit two-handed manipulation of the press and can have a gripping portion that is offset from an area directly above the press.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Revolution Cooking, LLCInventors: Philip C. Carbone, James Poon, Ryan O'Donnell, Robie Helm, Cody O'Sullivan, Eric Hyp

Publication number: 20240089791Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a wireless device may buffer uplink communications. However, such approaches may be improved. An access point (AP) may receive, from a station, uplink traffic of a traffic flow for forwarding to a backhaul network via a backhaul link. The AP may monitor a buffer of the AP to determine that a quantity of buffered uplink traffic received from the station exceeds a buffer quota, the buffer quota set for the traffic flow based on a traffic throughput capacity of the backhaul link and a throughput parameter for the traffic flow. The AP may modify, based on the quantity of buffered uplink traffic exceeding the buffer quota, an uplink communication scheme to reduce the quantity of uplink traffic from the station.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Xiaolong Huang, Srinivas Katar, Sandip Homchaudhuri, Guido Robert Frederiks, Bhaskara Peela, James Simon Cho, Patrick Poon-Cheuk Chan

Publication number: 20230055637Abstract: A cooking appliance, such as a toaster or oven, has a lifting arm including ribs that form a support surface for a food product in a cooking cavity of the appliance. Each rib can include an opening configured to permit infrared radiation from a heating assembly to pass through the rib to the food product supported by the lifting arm and/or to reduce a thermal mass and capacitance of the lifting arm. The heating assembly can include a support and/or heating element with a curved shape having a concave side facing a cooking cavity. The support and/or heating element can have a planar shape when unstressed and a curved shape when stressed. The heating element may be coupled to the support so as to be slidably movable relative to the support, e.g., so the heating element can slide relative to the support.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Applicant: Revolution Cooking, LLCInventors: Philip C. Carbone, Peter J. Loftus, Ryan O'Donnell, Cody O'Sullivan, James Poon, Aurelio Reyes, Richard Simmers

Patent number: 11517147Abstract: A heating assembly for a cooking appliance, such as a toaster or oven, has a support and/or heating element with a curved shape having a concave side facing a cooking cavity. The support and/or heating element may be flexible, e.g., having a planar shape when unstressed and a curved shape when stressed. The support and/or heating element may define a sheet, e.g., having a length and width. The heating element may have openings in the sheet. The heating element may be coupled to the support so as to be slidable movable relative to the support, e.g., so the heating element can slide relative to the support when the support and heating element are bent into a curved shape.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Revolution Cooking, LLCInventors: Philip C.

Patent number: 11452405Abstract: A toaster includes a housing that defines one or more cooking cavities. Each cooking cavity has a lift to lower and raise a food product inside the cooking cavity depending on food product type, and heating elements to cook the food product arranged inside the cooking cavity. The toaster includes a user interface operable to control a cooking cycle inside the one or more cooking cavities. The user interface can be used to select a combination of food product, cooking mode, and doneness level, and to initiate a cooking cycle performed by the toaster.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Revolution Cooking, LLCInventors: Philip C. Carbone, Shannon Galvin, Kristin Cefalo, Ryan O'Donnell, Richard Simmers, Joyce Tu, Jay Hunt, Martin Fisher, James Poon, Eric David Cohen

Patent number: 11023214Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose systems and methods for enabling new types (referred to as existent types), that allow for expressing additional possible values and, thereby, eliminating out-of-bounds access errors in programming. In addition to the value “null” as supported by many programming languages, embodiments herein introduce a new special or reserved value to represent an out-of-bounds access. In an exemplary embodiment, a special “undefined” value or memory address, which is distinct from “null”, that exclusively describes out-of-bounds accesses is defined. The implementation includes but is not limited to value checks, bounds checks, and container-level implementations.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Inventors: Roger James Poon, Anton Rapetov
