Abstract: Food processing devices capable of performing multiple functions, including mixing and extruding pasta or other food products, are described. The food processing devices have a door assembly with a feed chute extending from an opening in the mixing bowl and leading to an extruder. The door assembly can be closed or opened, depending on the type of food processing to be performed. The food processing device mixes food ingredients within the mixing bowl while the door assembly is in a closed position. When the food ingredients are sufficiently mixed, the door assembly is moved to an open position to allow the mixed food ingredients to flow through the feed chute to the extruder. The disclosed food processing devices conveniently allow for both mixing and extruding of food products within a single device configured to efficiently and safely perform both tasks.

Abstract: An attachment for a hair care appliance is provided and can include a nozzle defining a primary air flow path extending between a first air inlet and a first air outlet. The attachment can also include a cover coupled to the nozzle such that the cover and nozzle together define a secondary air flow path between a second air inlet and a second air outlet. The attachment can further include a hollow cylindrical barrel coupled to the nozzle and positioned to receive air flowing out of the first air outlet circumferentially there around. The hollow cylindrical barrel can be configured to direct the first air flow path around at least a portion of the outer circumference of the hollow cylindrical barrel.

Abstract: A system and method locks a processing shaft of a food processor to a blade during processing. The system includes a coupling with at least one socket. The coupling can be connected to move with the blade or the processing shaft. At least one ball bearing is positioned within a corresponding socket in a first configuration when the blade is not locked. As the processing shaft moves from the first configuration to a second configuration, each ball bearing moves from a corresponding socket into a cavity of the blade or a recess of the processing shaft, thereby locking the blade to the processing shaft.

Abstract: A robotic cleaner may include one or more driven wheels, one or more sensors configured to detect one or more features of an environment, an air jet assembly configured to generate an air jet, and a side brush, a side brush operational state of the side brush corresponding to an air jet operational state of the air jet assembly.

Abstract: An electric pizza oven is provided that includes a housing defining an interior cooking chamber, a door provided on a front of the housing that includes a handle, a cooking surface disposed within the interior cooking chamber and arranged to receive food to be cooked, an upper heater and a lower heater, each disposed within the interior cooking chamber and arranged to supply heat thereto, wherein at least one of the upper heater and the lower heater are capable of causing the interior cooking chamber to reach a temperature of at least 700 degrees Fahrenheit, and a user interface provided below the handle, wherein the user can interact with the user interface to select a pre-programmed cooking mode of a plurality of pre-programmed cooking modes in which the electric pizza oven can operate, including a Neapolitan mode, a New York mode, a Thin-Crust mode, and a Frozen mode.

Abstract: In an approach to a docking station for a robotic cleaner, the docking station includes a base; a trash bin having a substantially air-impermeable trash bag removably disposed thereon; a dock dirty air inlet defined in the base, the dock dirty air inlet being configured to fluidly couple to the robotic cleaner; and a dock suction motor, wherein the dock suction motor is activated after the robotic cleaner is determined to be docked with the docking station and configured to urge debris from the robotic cleaner into the trash bin.

Abstract: An attachment for use with a food processing system including a container body including a sidewall, a first end configured to be mounted to a food processing base, and a second end remote from said first end. The first end is open and the second end includes an end wall oriented transverse to the sidewall. A chamber is defined by said container body. A first agitating member is receivable at said first end and a second agitating member receivable at said second end. The second agitating member is extendable into said chamber from said second end.
