Abstract: A household appliance device includes a control unit which is designed to control an induction target repetitively with a switching frequency and to supply the induction target with energy. The control unit is designed to modulate in an operating state through frequency modulation the switching frequency within a modulation period which corresponds to an integer multiple of a half period of a mains AC voltage.

Abstract: An induction device includes a plurality of induction areas which can be controlled independently from one another, and a control unit configured to control the plurality of induction areas within a control period from a first control interval and a second control interval repetitively with an alternating current frequency and to supply the plurality of induction areas with energy. The control unit operates in the first control interval at least two of the plurality of induction areas with a first phase shift to minimize interference.

Abstract: A cooking appliance device includes a control and/or regulating unit provided to repetitively control a first induction target with a first heating current frequency in a periodic continuous heating operating state, which is allocated an operating period, to supply the first induction target with energy, and to operate the first induction target in a switched-on interval of the operating period with a heating power. The control and/or regulating unit is provided to select in the continuous heating operating state a sum of all switched-on intervals of the operating period as a multiple of a reciprocal value of the first heating current frequency.

Abstract: A cooking appliance device includes a control and/or regulating unit which is provided such that in a periodic continuous heating operation state, which is allocated at least one operating period, an induction target is repetitively controlled, supplied with energy, and operated in a switched-on interval of the operating period with a heating power, and that in the continuous heating operating state a heating current frequency for the induction target in the switched-on interval of the operating period is varied.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for passenger safety. A sensing unit, remote device, and/or fob may interoperate to provide various alerts and other indications representative of aspects of a context environment proximate to a sensing unit. In this manner, passenger safety may be enhanced.
