  • Publication number: 20230189822
    Abstract: Food preparation apparatus and associated methods. In one method, dough is proofed in an oven compartment and then baked in the same oven compartment. Temperature and/or humidity can be controlled during proofing and/or baking cycles. A blower may be used, for example, to exhaust gas to ambient to reduce heat and/or moisture in the compartment. For example, the blower may be used between proofing and baking cycles to prepare an environment in the oven compartment for the baking cycle.

  • Publication number: 20210152939
    Abstract: Embodiments may relate to an audio system for playback of an audio signal, for example in a motor vehicle. The audio system may include a virtualization speaker located in a position that would be in front of a listener of the audio system. The audio system may further include a user speaker located in a position that would be behind a listener of the audio system. In some embodiments the virtualization speaker may be configured to play a virtualization audio signal while the user speakers are configured to play an audio signal which at least partially overlaps the virtualization audio signal. In some embodiments the virtualization audio signal may be at a different volume or a different frequency range than the audio signal. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

  • Patent number: 10649945
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and techniques for digital interfaces over a two-wire communication bus. For example, an electronic device to interface between a two-wire communication bus and a non-native digital interface may include: a digital interface to support a first digital interface protocol; and a transceiver, coupled to the digital interface, to couple to a link of the two-wire communication bus and to receive data via the link, wherein the data includes commands in accordance with a second digital interface protocol different from the first digital interface protocol; wherein the digital interface is to transmit the commands to a peripheral device in accordance with the second digital interface protocol.
