Abstract: A cooking system for cooking food includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive the food, a lid movable relative to said housing between an open position and a closed position to form a pressure-tight cooking volume between said hollow chamber and said lid, at least one heating element associated with at least one of said housing and said lid, and a temperature probe positionable within said pressure-tight cooking volume. The cooking system is operable in a pressure cooking mode and during said pressure cooking mode. The temperature probe is operable to detect a temperature of the food in said pressure-tight cooking volume.

Abstract: The invention provides a laryngoscopic device that can be paired with any video baton imaging system to concurrently view the upper airway, deliver oxygen and administer a topical anesthetic to select areas in the airway as needed. The invention also provides a video laryngoscope that includes two conduits, one for delivering oxygen and the other for delivering a pharmaceutical agent to select areas of the airway under real-time visualization.

Abstract: A memory circuit includes an operational memory and a monitor circuit comprising a circuit element in the operational memory and/or a circuit element substantially identical to a corresponding circuit element in the operational memory. The monitor circuit is operative to measure at least one functional characteristic of the operational memory. A control circuit coupled to the monitor circuit is operative to generate a control signal which varies as a function of the measured characteristic of the operational memory. The memory circuit further includes a programmable voltage source coupled to the operational memory which is operative to generate at least a voltage and/or a current supplied to at least a portion of the operational memory which varies as a function of the control signal.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to a head-up display system for a vehicle having a windshield. First and second substantially parallel spaced-apart substrates sandwich a polymer-inclusive interlayer. An anti-reflective coating is provided on a surface of one of the first and second substrates. The anti-reflective coating is arranged so as to optically remove or block at least some of light rays produced by an image source of the head-up display system so as to reduce the occurrence of multiple images being produced by the image source. The anti-reflective coating is provided on a surface of the first or second substrate opposite the polymer-inclusive interlayer. In certain example embodiments, the polymer-inclusive interlayer may include polyvinyl butyral and/or may have a substantially uniform thickness.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to an antenna wire embedded in a windshield, and/or vehicle incorporating the same. In certain example embodiments, an antenna wire may be embedded in an interlayer (e.g., a PVB interlayer) that is surrounded by two substrates (e.g., glass substrates). The antenna wire includes a fixed end electrically connected to a component (e.g., a bus bar) and a free end mechanically held in the interlayer via an adhesive (e.g., an adhesive tape). Thus, it may be possible to reduce distortion of the antenna wire and/or cause the antenna wire to be disposed in a manner that more closely conforms to a predetermined pattern. In certain example embodiments, the adhesive may be located at a non-visible portion of the windshield. In certain other example embodiments, the adhesive may be located at a visible portion of the windshield, and it optionally may be substantially transparent and/or provided in an aesthetically pleasing fashion.
