  • Publication number: 20220046931
    Abstract: There is provided a cooking apparatus for cooking multiple food items, including: a housing including multiple separate cooking bays; a control module communicatively linked to each of the cooking bays to receive or determine a cooking time and cooking temperature for the food item received by the respective cooking bay; and a coordination module configured to: determine a total cooking time for each of a plurality of the cooking bays; determine the cooking bay with the longest associated cooking time; determine an offset of the start of the cooking process for each of the other cooking bays such that the cooking times of all the cooking bays end approximately simultaneously; and at each determined offset, direct the respective cooking bay to start the cooking process at the cooking temperature.

  • Publication number: 20210236089
    Abstract: A device for measuring reflected ultrasound and optical signals may include: an optical source; an optical assembly comprising at least one lens, configured to focus reflected optical illumination from a target onto a detector; and an ultrasound transducer aligned to transmit and receive ultrasound radiation co-axially with the reflected optical illumination and wherein the ultrasound transducer at least partially obstructs a path of the reflected optical illumination. An obstruction may be distant from a focal spot of the optical assembly. The device for measuring reflected ultrasound and optical signals may be particularly useful for characterizing fluid behind an ear drum to diagnose otitis media.

  • Publication number: 20160158510
    Abstract: Cutaneous treatment apparatuses are provided that enhance percutaneous absorption of a treatment formulation. Related methods are also provided. In general, examples of the cutaneous treatment systems and/or apparatuses described herein are capable of attaching to a cutaneous surface and applying a treatment formulation to a localized cutaneous region. Embodiments of a cutaneous treatment apparatus generally include a heater and a treatment delivery component, including a treatment portion. The treatment portion includes a treatment formulation, including a therapeutic compound, and a treatment surface configured to contact the cutaneous region. The heater component is removably couplable with the treatment delivery component and is configured to transfer heat to the treatment portion. Upon heating, the therapeutic compound is configured to release from the treatment portion through the treatment surface towards the cutaneous region.

  • Publication number: 20050279440
    Abstract: Apparatus for applying labels to an article being conveyed along an article conveyor path comprises first and second label applicator pad members hingedly connected together, and a single air cylinder actuator, comprising a piston rod fixedly connected to the first label applicator pad member, which is movable between a RETRACTED position and an EXTENDED position. An applicator roller is disposed upon the second movable label applicator pad member, and in accordance with the label application mode of operation, the applicator roller adheres a downstream half-end portion of a label onto a side face of the carton, wraps the label around a trailing end corner region of the carton, and applies an upstream half-end portion of the label onto the trailing end face of the carton when the piston rod is moved to the EXTENDED position while the article is being conveyed past the label applicator pad members by the article conveyor.
