Abstract: The present invention is a single camera or multiple cameras on telescoping pole that can be mounted on top surface of vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, toys etc. For easier explanation of the invention, focus is given on the application of the camera system on automobiles (cars). Four cameras mounted in different directions on the pole give wider field of view for safe operation of the vehicle. The camera system also includes a radar. The telescoping pole helps to raise the cameras unit with radar(LDAR) above the top surface of the vehicle. The first camera points to the front direction of the car, the second camera points to the rear direction of the car, the third camera points to a blind spot on the left side of the car and the fourth camera points to a blind spot on the right side the car.

Abstract: The invention is a dual-purpose electric bread cooker having two baking plates, a lid, a base, thermostat control knobs, light indicators and legs. The base on the electric bread cooker having a cylindrical shaped baking pan for baking Himbasha (also known as Ambasha) bread and a top plate pivotally mounted on to the base plate, the top plate covers the bottom baking plate when baking Himbasha. A first embodiment shows the top plate can be opened about 180 degrees from the surface of the bottom plate to be used to bake Injera (Ethiopian flatbread). A second embodiment of flip-able lid can used when cooking space is small. The top and the bottom baking plates may be connected to heating source. One temperature control knob controls the temperature of the bottom baking plate and another thermostat knob controls the temperature of the top baking plate. The electric cooker has a handle to open and close the lid, the inside of the top lid is a baking plate.

Abstract: A machine for manufacturing of flatbread mainly Ethiopian Injera, sometimes known as Enjera. The machine comprises five sections namely batter reservoir, batter depositor, baking section, picking section and baking surface cleaning section. The batter reservoir comprises a tank with a blender to slowly blend the batter to attain uniform viscosity and a mesh to filter out any coagulated materials in the batter. The batter depositor section has an integrated batter deposition apparatus that deposits batter to a uniform thickness on a hot non-sticky baking surface. The baking section comprises of mechanism to close lids of baking pans to bake bread to a desirable temperature. Picking section is where flatbread picked from the baking surface to be cooled to a room temperature and pack for distribution. Finally, the cleaning section is where baking surfaces cleaned and get ready to start another baking cycle.

Abstract: A machine for manufacturing of flatbread, mainly Ethiopian Injera, sometimes known as Enjera. The machine comprises of batter dispensing unit, baking pans, lid carrier unit, pan rotating unit, protection covers, heat supply unit, top support unit, and bottom support unit. The batter dispenser has nozzles with flow control mechanism. The baking pan is rectangular shaped with concave shape lid to cover pan the baking surface. The machine has two configurations: rotary pans configuration and stationary pans configuration. In rotary pans configuration, the pans rotates and in stationary pans configuration, the pans are stationary and the batter dispensing unit moves to each pan to dispense batter.

Abstract: An appliance for baking flatbread, mainly Ethiopian flatbread commonly known as Injera, sometimes known as Enjera. The appliance comprises: a lid, two lid handles, a pan with baking surface, two pan handles, four pan legs, a thermostat and a heating element. The appliance is an electric metal pan which may be made of aluminum, coated with non-sticking materials such as PTFE or alternatively ceramic or silicon. The electric pan may also be made of other metals that include stainless steel, iron or enameled cast iron. The appliance lid has a mechanism to remove condensed water away from the electric pan.
