Abstract: There is described a food cooling appliance (1) having an outer casing (2) extending along a vertical reference axis (A); a food cooling chamber (3) housed inside the outer casing (2) and of a given length (L1) measured along the reference axis; at least one food-supporting shelf (5) positioned firmly, m but in easily removable manner, inside the cooling chamber; a primary inductor (8) extending in a direction parallel to the reference axis, and of a length (L2) substantially equal or less than the length of the cooling chamber; one or more light-emitting units (18) located along an outer peripheral edge of the shelf and coplanar with the shelf; and at least on secondary inductor (9) housed in the shelf to supply the light-emitting diodes (18) with electric current.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a measuring device for measuring the humidity of materials, in particular the humidity of textiles. The measuring device according to the invention comprises an evaluation circuit EC having electrical terminals (8, 9), an oscillatory circuit (5) and a primary electrical circuit (1) contactlessly coupled to a secondary electrical circuit (2). Each of said primary and secondary circuit (1, 2) comprises a ferromagnetic element (3, 6) and a coil (4, 7) wrapped around it. Switching means (10) are provided for short-circuiting the coil in the secondary circuit (2) in response to the electrical resistance of an electric load connected the electrical terminals (8, 9) and output means (11) for outputting signals in response to the short-circuiting of the switching means (10) are also provided. A laundry drying machine comprising a measuring device is also disclosed.

Abstract: An oscillator (3) drives a controlled switch (6) of a converter (2) using a periodic pulse signal that alternately determines long closing times (T.sub.on) and short opening times (T.sub.off). During the closing times, the converter stores energy generated by a thermocouple (23) in the presence of a flame. During opening times, the conductor supplies energy at a higher value to remaining circuitry of the monitoring apparatus. The converter comprises an LED (9) to indicate the presence of the flame to be monitored.
