Abstract: In a method for treating food in a food handling device with a parameter configuration a measured value distribution of a surface property of the food is determined after expiration of the period of time by means of a sensor. A pattern of change is calculated from a comparison of the p-th measured value distribution with a measured value distribution determined previously. An assessment value Bq which represents a difference between a deviation of a target distribution from the measured value distribution and a deviation of the target distribution from a prediction pattern is calculated for all patterns of change stored hitherto. The prediction pattern is formed by superimposing the measured value distribution with the respective pattern of change, and the parameter configuration is set for which the assessment value Bq meets at least one predetermined criterion.

Abstract: A microwave cooking appliance includes a door which covers a loading opening of a cooking chamber when closed, and has a profiled trap structure to form with an electrically conductive door flange a lambda quarter-wave trap that frames the loading opening. The trap structure includes a metal choke profile with an open face opposite the door flange, inner and outer metal tongues protruding into the open face laterally on an inside and outside, respectively. The metal tongues are connected electrically to the choke profile and separated from one another by a microwave entry slot covered by a microwave-transparent cover. The choke profile is framed laterally on the outside by a parallel overlap region which protrudes from the door flange and has a cover surface facing the door flange at a distance and made of electrically conductive material and having a same shape as a door flange region it covers.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a circuit component, a temperature detector embodied as an IR detector and configured to sense a temperature of the circuit component, and a control facility coupled to the temperature detector and configured to actuate the circuit component and to actuate the household appliance on the basis of temperature measurement data measured by the temperature detector.

Abstract: A microwave household appliance with at least one microwave source for generating microwaves, at least one microwave antenna for irradiating the microwaves in a treatment room and a control device for controlling the microwave household appliance based on quantized microwave parameters.

Abstract: A processing machine system has at least one mobile control unit. At least one substance-related feature of the processing machine system can be detected by the mobile control unit. Upon detection of the substance-related feature by the mobile control unit, data which is associated with the feature can be made available to a user by the mobile control unit. A method is provided for operating such a processing machine system. The invention provides an alternative processing machine system or an alternative method for operating a processing machine system. The data associated with the feature contains data concerning at least one consumable of the processing machine system.

Abstract: A fastening device is described for at least one lighting means, comprising at least one rope and at least one carrier embodied for fastening at least one lighting means, comprising at least one fastening means for fastening at the ropes and connection means for connecting at least one lighting means to at least one electric supply line. The particular feature of the invention is the fact that at least one rope comprises at least one ultra-strong fiber or is made from at least one ultra-strong fiber.
