  • Patent number: 10971869
    Abstract: A device for protecting a plug-in connection between a first power plug of an electric appliance and a switchable power socket. The switchable power socket has a socket for receiving the first power plug and a second power plug for coupling the switchable power socket to an electrical mains. The device has a wall which, when the device is installed, at least partially surrounds the switchable power socket with the first power plug plugged therein. The wall is formed with a plug-side recess in which the second power plug at least partially penetrates the wall. The wall covers the first power plug at least partially, when the device is installed, in order to prevent the first power plug from being pulled out of the socket. A sensor detects whether or not the wall surrounds the switchable power socket and informs a control unit that controls the electrical device.

  • Publication number: 20180192656
    Abstract: A device for a system for producing food includes a movable nozzle which is configured to expel a printable mass in various positions, in order to produce a spatial configuration of the printable mass for food. A movable heating unit is configured to supply thermal energy to the printable mass which has been expelled from the nozzle. A control unit is configured to determine a recipe for producing food. The recipe indicates position data with a plurality of positions at which the printable mass is to be expelled from the nozzle, in order to produce the spatial configuration of the printable mass for the food. In addition, the control unit is configured to move the movable nozzle and the movable heating unit in accordance with the position data.
