  • Patent number: 11477859
    Abstract: A method for communication between a cooking utensil and an induction cooktop, includes: a step of arrangement of a cooking utensil on an element of the induction cooktop, a step of generation of a magnetic flux by the element on which the cooking utensil is arranged, a pairing request step including a sending of at least one pairing request frame by the communication module of the cooking utensil or the sending of at least one corresponding pairing request frame by the communication device of the induction cooktop, a step of listening by the communication device of the induction cooktop or, if applicable, by the communication module of the cooking utensil, the listening step including reception of the at least one pairing request frame or, if applicable, of the at least one corresponding pairing request frame, a pairing step between the cooking utensil and the induction cooktop including an exchange of information.

  • Patent number: 10914806
    Abstract: A method for dynamically compensating for the offset error of an acquisition system includes a current sensor to measure or estimate the current passing through an actuator of a electrical apparatus that is electrically supplied by an AC voltage, the acquisition system having a predetermined offset value, the method includes determining a plurality of periodic temporal operating ranges of the actuator in order to dynamically apply a compensation sequence for the offset error of the acquisition system, executing the compensation sequence during any one among the plurality of determined temporal operating ranges, the synchronization between the any one of the determined temporal operating ranges of the actuator and the execution of the compensation sequence being performed using a synchronization system including a synchronization module designed to identify reference times from the AC supply voltage of the sector.
