Abstract: A refrigerating appliance, or household refrigerating appliance, includes a refrigerated goods container and a machine compartment having a wall facing the goods container, an insulating material region between the goods container and the machine compartment wall, and a water outlet arrangement conducting condensate from the goods container through the insulating material region and machine compartment wall into an evaporation container in the machine compartment. The water outlet arrangement has a trough-shaped wall region of the goods container oriented towards the machine compartment wall and extending funnel-like to a drip edge. A tube facility extends from the wall region through the insulating material region and an opening in the machine compartment wall into the machine compartment. A positioning device mutually positions the wall region and tube facility, securing the drip edge radially in the tube facility and circumferentially spaced from an inner wall of the tube facility.
Abstract: In a method for a cooktop, in particular for producing and/or operating the cooktop, which has at least one variable cooking surface, the cooking surface is partitioned in an operating mode along a partitioning direction into a plurality of heating zones to which at least one heating parameter is assigned in each case in a location-dependent manner in order to heat a cooking utensil that is deposited on the heating zone. In order to ensure flexible production and/or flexible operation of the cooktop, during partitioning of the cooking surface into the heating zones in at least one peripheral region of the cooking surface, at least one cooking utensil characteristic is taken into account.

Abstract: A water-using household appliance includes a pump sump, a filter element arranged at least partially in the pump sump, and a nozzle unit arranged on the pump sump. The nozzle unit produces an annular flow between the pump sump and the filter element in order to remove dirt from the filter element, with the annular flow flowing around the filter element only in one direction of flow.
Abstract: A refrigerator includes a receiving chamber and a drawer movably received in the receiving chamber. The drawer is at a first location when it is closed. The refrigerator further includes a first sensor that is fixed to the drawer or a wall of the receiving chamber. The first sensor is configured to detect when the drawer reaches a second location. The first and second locations are spaced apart by a spacing distance.
Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a washing chamber, a controller apparatus configured to perform a wash program from a number of wash programs for washing items to be washed arranged in the washing chamber, an optical sensor configured to capture an optical sensor signal of the washing chamber during performance of the wash program, and an evaluating unit configured to ascertain a subsequent loading of items to be washed by a user as a function of the captured optical sensor signal of the washing chamber, to determine a point in time of the subsequent loading in the wash program, and to perform a predetermined action as a function of the ascertained subsequent loading and the determined point in time.

Abstract: A cooking device includes a catalyst device having a base unit which is made of electrically conductive material and on which a plurality of catalytically active elements or a catalytically active surface coating is arranged. The base unit has electric connection regions which are at least partly made of a pressed material region of the base unit and/or at least partly have an electrically conductive adhesive. An electric energy unit is connected to the electric connection regions of the base unit and supplies the base unit with electric energy for a self-heating of the catalyst device.
Abstract: A door for a cooking appliance includes a front pane, a further pane arranged in spaced-apart relation to the front pane, a recessed grip embodied in an upper region of the door and configured for gripping from above, and a separate functional frame arranged in an intermediate space between the front pane and the further pane when viewed in a depth direction of the door. The functional frame includes an upper frame part having a delimiting web which protrudes upward on the upper frame part such that the recessed grip is embodied in the upper frame part.

Abstract: A rotor for an electric motor includes a ring portion and a hub portion. The ring portion contains a permanent magnet material and is configured to at least partially rotate about at least a portion of a stator of the electric motor. The hub portion is configured as a fan including two or more blade elements each being connected to the ring portion. The blade elements encompass two or more axial air passages. An electric motor including the rotor, a pump device and a household appliance each including the electric motor, as well as a method of producing the rotor, are also provided.
Abstract: A printed circuit board antenna contains an electrically conductive antenna structure on an outer layer of a printed circuit board, the antenna structure has a first resonance frequency. The printed circuit board antenna additionally contains an electrically conductive feed line to the antenna structure and an electrically conductive reference region on the outer layer. The reference region completely encloses the antenna structure with the exception of an insulating feed recess for the feed line and an insulating web recess. The web recess is arranged on the antenna structure face facing away from the feed line, and the reference region has a reference region web on the antenna structure face facing away from the feed line. The reference region web forms a resonator which is capacitively coupled to the antenna structure and has a second resonance frequency.
