Abstract: A pressure cooker comprises a main body, a lid assembly, and an open-prevention assembly disposed on the lid assembly. The main body comprises a cooker rim and a cooker tooth extending therefrom, the open-prevention assembly comprises an open-prevention sliding block and a float device disposed on the lid assembly. With no pressure in the cooking chamber, rotating the lid will cause sliding movements of the open-prevention sliding block. With pressure in the cooking chamber, the float device will rise to prevent the open-prevention sliding block from sliding, thereby preventing the rotation of the lid. The open-prevention assembly comprises a locking sliding block coupled to the open-prevention sliding block. When a forced opening of the lid causes a deformation of the open-prevention sliding block, the locking sliding block lockingly engages the cooker tooth to prevent lid rotation, thereby ensuring safe use of the cooker.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for context-sensitive multimedia message service (MMS) response. The provision of a response to a MMS UA originated MMS message (e.g. requesting to send a multimedia message (MM)) that is context-sensitive allows the network operator/service provider to provide value-added and potentially revenue generating content in the response. The content of the response can be context-sensitive based on one or more context parameters. The context parameters can be based on any of the information elements in the MMS UA originated MMS message, on fields in an associated MM, inputs provided by other external systems (e.g., accounting, presence and location information) and combinations thereof.
