Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a cooktop having a first burner and a second burner, a control knob assembly having a first control knob to control the first burner and a second control knob to control the second burner, a display assembly provided within the cooktop proximate the first burner, an air handler attached to the cooktop proximate the second burner, the air handler being in fluid communication with the display assembly, and a controller operably connected with the cooktop, the control knob assembly, the display assembly, and the air handler, the controller being configured to selectively operate the air handler based on an operational state of the first control knob.

Abstract: An appliance includes a cabinet and a user interface. The user interface includes an illuminable indicator. The appliance also includes a circuit board with an LED mounted on the circuit board. The appliance further includes a flexible light guide extending from the LED to the illuminable indicator. The flexible light guide provides optical communication from the LED to the illuminable indicator, such that the LED is operable to illuminate the illuminable indicator when the LED is activated.

Abstract: An aerial light show system includes aerial vehicles configured to move along paths consisting of positions while emitting light beams to present an aerial light show of a virtual 3D scene. Each aerial vehicle includes a light source configured to project multiple light beams in multiple specified directions, respectively, wherein the brightness and/or color of each of the multiple light beams is independently controllable. The aerial light show system includes a control system configured to control the movement of the aerial vehicles, to modify the brightness and/or color of (e.g., dim or turn off) a light beam of each aerial vehicle at each position projected in a specified direction that is occluded by the virtual 3D scene, and to not modify the brightness and/or color of a light beam of each aerial vehicle at each position projected in a specified direction that is not occluded by the virtual 3D scene.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for the production of taxanes by culturing suspension cells of Taxus sp. in a nutrient medium that comprises an indanoyl amino acid. The indanoyl amino acid may be added in batch mode or in a feed stream at any time of the culturing. In particular, synthetic compounds 6-Ethyl-indanoyl-isoleucine, 6-Bromoindanoyl isoleucine and 1-oxo-indane-carboxy-(L)-Isoleucine-methyl ester amide (1-OII) have been found to increase taxane production from Taxus cell cultures.
