Abstract: A burner for use in a hydrogen burning appliance that includes a gas enclosure defining a gas distribution chamber and a gas aperture, a burner having a combustion surface, a hydrogen gas source coupled to the gas enclosure, and a flame enhancement member positioned in a path of the combusting hydrogen. The hydrogen gas source supplies hydrogen gas to the gas chamber for distribution to the gas aperture for combustion of the hydrogen gas at the combustion surface. The flame enhancement member may alter properties of the flame such as the flame color.

Abstract: An electric cooking assembly includes a main body portion that defines a cooking area. First and second cooking surfaces are contained within the cooking area. A first electric heating element arranged to provide heat to at least a portion of the first cooking surface, and a second electric heating element is arranged to heat at least a portion of the second cooking surface. The main body portion may include first and second hood members. The first hood member defines the cooking area and the second hood member is positioned at least partially within the cooking area and configured to decrease heat lost from the cooking assembly during preparation of food products in the cooking area.

Abstract: The hierarchical distributed knowledge based system functions in a machine initiated maintenance environment to provide efficient and timely maintenance of customer equipment. The hierarchical, distributed knowledge based system provides the failure evaluation function through the use of an expert or knowledge based system that is installed in the customer equipment. The knowledge based system makes use of a set of rules and hypotheses to operate on data collected from various points within the customer equipment to monitor the operational integrity of the customer equipment. This knowledge based system identifies the occurrence of a failure within the customer equipment and functions using its rules, hypotheses and collected data to isolate the source of the error in the customer equipment and, whenever possible, "fence" or isolate the failed field replaceable unit that has caused the error.

Abstract: This failure management system architecture guides, detects, validates and logs field replaceable unit (FRU) changes. This system includes a guided capability by which service personnel use the guided process to select candidates for FRU swaps or FRU replacement. FRU change and swap detection is described as a function of FRU memory scanning coupled with embedded database query activity. For swap activity virtual Composite Failure Events are created to manage post-swap failures. Validation logic determines whether the changed FRU is positioned correctly, is at the correct hardware, software and feature level, executes diagnostics correctly and performs flawlessly during monitored and extended functional operation.
