Abstract: A toaster includes a housing having a slot for receiving a food item, a heating element associated with the slot for toasting the food item, a carriage assembly having a supporting rack movably mounted in the slot for supporting the food item within the slot, a first slider member connected to the supporting rack, and a second slider member operatively connected to the first slider member, a motor, and a driving member having a first end operatively connected to the motor and a second end received in a slot in the second slider member such that when the motor is driven to rotate the driving member, the driving member drives the supporting rack, via the first slider member and the second slider member, to slidably move within the slot.

Abstract: Rule induction is used to produce human readable descriptions of patterns within a dataset. A rule induction algorithm or classifier is a type supervised machine learning classification algorithm. A rule induction classifier is trained, which involves using labelled examples in the dataset to produce a set of rules. Rather than using the rules/classifier to make predictions on new unlabeled samples, the training of the rule induction model outputs human-readable descriptions of patterns (rules) within the dataset that gave rise to the rules (rather than using the rules to predict new unlabeled samples). Parameters of the rule induction algorithm are tuned to favor simple and understandable rules, instead of only tuning for predictive accuracy. The learned set of rules are outputted during the training process in a human-friendly format.
