  • Patent number: 11617451
    Abstract: A system of controlling various actuators associated with human support surfaces is disclosed. Such a system is made up of a support surface, a controller, and an actuator. The system may optionally include batteries, a means of charging the batteries, and a graphical user interface as well as a communication link between the graphical user interface and the support surfaces. The actuators are capable of altering contour and/or firmness, of a support surface, they may be vibrational or heating/cooling in nature, and they may also alter the overall relative position of a support surface to another support surface, and/or to the ground plane.

  • Publication number: 20220095833
    Abstract: New and novel structures and ways to cook and serve foodstuffs have been disclosed. The items may be “foodstuffs” or other perishable items. The structure or method may include a means and methods to cook the food more evenly, more food concurrently and allow the user to see the food better as it is cooking and serve the food in the vessel it was cooked in, thus making fewer items to manipulate and clean.

  • Patent number: 10034572
    Abstract: A device for the convenient frothing or mixing or agitating of milk or other liquids is disclosed. The unit may take many forms, but common to nearly all is that the user simply pours or dispenses the liquid from the devices vessel or holding area, and as the fluid flows to the devices exit spout, the fluid is frothed, thus providing a “Pour to Froth” experience.
