Abstract: An electronic stove incorporates a cylindrical outer shell and a concentric copper heater core. A foil heater surrounds the copper heater core and a heater control PCB carried in the outer shell is connected to the foil heater. A battery assembly has a cylindrical second outer shell carrying a battery pack. A power controller carried in the second outer shell is connected to the battery pack. A connector carriage is engaged between the battery assembly and cylindrical outer shell, extending through the shell of the battery assembly and received in the cylindrical outer shell aligned proximate a lower surface of the first outer shell whereby the lower surfaces of the first outer shell and the second outer shell are in planar alignment. A first contact set of a connector is connected to the heater control PCB. A second contact is connected to the power controller.

Abstract: An electronic fry pan incorporates a pan base and a pan received concentrically in the pan base. A foil heater assembly is mounted to the bottom of the pan and a heater control PCB carried in the pan base is connected to the foil heater. A battery assembly has a cylindrical shell carrying a battery pack. A power controller carried in the second outer shell is connected to the battery pack. A connector carriage is engaged between the battery assembly and cylindrical shell, extending through the shell of the battery assembly and received in the pan base aligned proximate a bottom surface of the pan base whereby the bottom surfaces of the pan base and the cylindrical shell are in planar alignment. A first contact set of a connector is connected to the heater control PCB. A sec and contact is connected to the power controller.

Abstract: An integrated supplemental motor system for e-bikes incorporates a motor stator carried by a fixed axle with a torroidal cavity surrounding the axle. A motor rotor for interaction with the stator is supported by a motor casing rotatable on a plurality of bearings carried by the fixed axle. A torque member is concentrically carried within the torroidal cavity and has a first attachment engaged to a gear cluster for force input and a second resilient attachment for engagement to the motor casing. The torque member is urged by the gear cluster from a first no force position resiliently through a range of motion to a second maximum force position. A first element connected to the torque member has a set of first signal generation interfaces and a second element connected to the motor case has an equal set of second signal generation interfaces. The first and second signal generation interfaces are spaced in relation to the range of motion of the torque member.

Abstract: Compression expansion processor apparatus and method is provided for document image processing. The apparatus creates a virtual 1:1 image stream within, and represents this stream logically as a series of run length codes instead of physically as a fully decoded bit stream. The apparatus and method directly compute the required output bit streams from this internal run length representation. The time wasted generating and discarding clipped pixels is eliminated. An input parsing function does not have to recompute the previous line's run lengths. Individual color run lengths are retained through-out the clipping and scaling processes, making gray level correction techniques easier to apply.

Abstract: An electronic cash register having an inverted U-shaped housing with at least two, spaced, downwardly extending side members. A cash till is positioned between the side members of the housing and is movably mounted with respect to the housing. The cash till forms at least a portion of the bottom of the cash register. In the preferred embodiment, the cash register keyboard data entry means, electrical signal processing means and output display means are mounted on and electrically interconnected by a single printed circuit board that is secured with respect to the register housing.
