Abstract: An ice making device is provided. In the ice making device, a drive unit includes an ice sensing shaft driven to rotate by a cam surface of a cam gear, a biasing member that biases the ice sensing shaft toward the cam surface, and a second case member. The second case member includes a stopper that comes in contact with the ice sensing shaft from one side of the ice sensing shaft in an axis and limits the ice sensing shaft in the axis direction when the ice sensing shaft is assembled and the biasing member is elastically deformed. When the ice sensing shaft positioned by the stopper is rotated around the axis, a spring engaging part passes through a notch of a side wall and compresses the biasing member.

Abstract: A controller for use by a user is utilized to select media for playback by an entertainment system. A display displays a hierarchy of levels of options to the user. One level of the hierarchy of levels is displayed at a time. A physical dial is utilized to select an option on the one level of the hierarchy of levels in response to a physical movement of the physical dial. A processing device updates the display of the hierarchy of levels in response to selection of the option by the user. The processing device performs one of the following in response to the user selecting the option on the one level: (a) displaying a higher level of the hierarchy of levels, or (b) generating an instruction to cause media corresponding to the option to be played by the entertainment system.
