  • Publication number: 20230180356
    Abstract: A cooking device includes a housing including a non-ferromagnetic surface and a lower shell positioned below the non-ferromagnetic surface. The cooking device also includes an induction cooking coil, a battery assembly configured to provide power to the induction cooking coil via a circuit board assembly, and a heat sink surrounding the battery assembly and the circuit board assembly. The induction cooking coil, the battery assembly, and the circuit board assembly are enclosed by the housing. The cooking device also includes a controller operatively coupled to the circuit board assembly and configured to switch from usage of a first driver circuit of the circuit board assembly to a second driver circuit of the circuit board assembly to power the induction cooking coil.

  • Patent number: 11326490
    Abstract: A valve assembly for a vehicle exhaust system includes a rigid mount structure that is configured to be mounted within an exhaust component that defines an exhaust gas passage. The valve assembly further includes a plurality of flexible members that each extend from a first end to a second end. One of the first ends and second ends of the flexible members is fixed to the rigid mount structure and the other of the first ends and second ends is free to move such that the plurality of flexible members creates a variable restriction to flow through the exhaust component that varies in response to a pressure difference upstream and downstream of the plurality of flexible members.
