Abstract: A dual use device adapted to define a furniture component when in a stored state and provide access to a cover for covering a furniture item when in a covering state. The device includes an enclosure with a plurality of enclosure panels, the enclosure panels being connected as to define a shape of the furniture component. The connection between at least some of the enclosure panels is through detachable attachments which permit access to an internal space within the enclosure. A cover for covering a furniture item is foldably received within the internal space when the dual use device is in its stored state and the dual use device serves as a furniture component. The cover adapted to be extracted from the internal space and unfolded to cover the furniture item when the dual use device is in its covering state.

Abstract: A fast assembly and disassembly shed comprises multiple prefabricated wall panels, multiple prefabricated roof panels, multiple prefabricated floor panels, and multiple quick assembly connectors. These prefabricated wall panels can be quickly assembled or disassembled to enclose a space. These prefabricated roof panels can be quickly assembled or disassembled onto the upper edge of the prefabricated wall panels to cover the space. These prefabricated floor panels can be quickly assembled or disassembled onto the lower edge of the prefabricated wall panels. The quick assembly connectors are placed between any two adjacent elements among the prefabricated wall panels, prefabricated roof panels, and prefabricated floor panels to secure their relative positions.

Abstract: A dual use device and a furniture module including the dual use device are disclosed. The dual use device is adapted to be used with furniture, and includes two covering elements and a cover body. The two covering elements are partially connected and are selectively closed together or opened. When the two covering elements are closed together, an internal space is formed between the two covering elements, the cover body is foldably received in the internal space, and the dual use device serves as a throw pillow or a bolster pillow. When the two covering elements are opened, the cover body is adapted to be unfolded and cover the furniture.

Abstract: A six-burner cooktop has front and rear heat sources on a left side, front and rear heat sources on a right side, and front and rear heat sources in a middle between the left side and the right side. A maximum power output of the rear middle heat source is greater than maximum power outputs of the left side and right side heat sources, and a maximum power output of the front middle heat source is less than the maximum power outputs of the left side and right side heat sources.

Abstract: A ventilator hood assembly for mounting above a residential cooking range. The assembly includes a lower housing with a filter for capturing particulates entrapped in the air as it is drawn in from below the lower housing, and an upper section including a blower unit powered by a motor. The blower unit draws air in from the open bottom through the filter and expels air into an exhaust duct. An upper plenum is located below the blower unit and channels air into the blower unit. A microwave compartment is located above the lower housing and below the upper plenum. An intermediate conduit is located behind at least a back wall of the compartment and is connected to the lower housing and the upper plenum so as to provide a channel through which air from the cooktop can flow to the blower unit.

Abstract: A ventilator for a stove includes a fan with a motor, and a microprocessor controller that regulates the speed of the fan motor. The controller has a first input from a wireless receiver with a remote control, and a second input from a rotatable local control knob with a rotary encoder. Signals received from the remote control and the rotary encoder indicate whether to increase or decrease the power supplied to the fan, and by how much.

Abstract: A gel-infused seat for a toilet bowl is provided comprising an exposed base section for directly contacting a top rim of the bowl while supporting a user's weight, the base section having a top surface opposite to the bottom surfaces of the seat and at least two edges including an inner circumferential edge and an outer circumferential edge; a foam core layer covering the top surface of the base section and extending to parts of the bottom surfaces of the seat at its inner and outer circumferential edges; a gelatinous overlay for defining a top contour of the seat that yields easily to a pressure applied to give a comfortable softness to the user; and an outer layer for covering the gelatinous overlay and foam core layer leaving the base section exposed with substantially constant space from the base section.
