Abstract: A cooking device may include a heat source switchable between an on state and an off state, a support element moveable between a first position and a second position, and a controller operably connected to the heat source and the support element. The support element may be in the first position when no cooking implement is placed on the heat source or the support element, and the support element may be in the second position when a cooking implement is placed on the heat source or the support element. The controller may be configured to transition the heat source to the off state in response to the heat source being in the on state and the support element being in the first position.

Abstract: A computer system traces an original electronic design automation (EDA) implementation process for electronic hardware designs. The original EDA implementation process includes multiple subprocesses to convert a hardware model to a physically-realized electronic circuit. The system inputs a cryptographic key and design information that includes the hardware model, constraints, properties, implementation settings, and other directives for directing the conversion. The cryptographic key and design information are processed to generate a sequence of instructions to execute and provide traceability of each subprocess.
