  • Publication number: 20180267683
    Abstract: In one example, a portable device comprises one or more processors operable to determine a plurality of first food images and determine a plurality of second food images. Each of the first food images are associated with a respective first cooking recipe. Each of the second food images are associated with a respective second cooking recipe. The processors are further operable to transmit for display a first graphical image that includes a first column and a second column. The first column includes the first food images presented side-by-side. The second column includes the second food images presented side-by-side. The processors are further operable to receive an indication that the user has selected a particular first food image, to determine a subset of second food images, and to transmit for display a second graphical image that includes a second column that includes the subset of second food images presented side-by-side.

  • Publication number: 20170238749
    Abstract: According to one example, a system includes a heat source operable to provide an amount of energy to be used to cook a food item in accordance with a cooking recipe. The system further includes a processor operable to receive, via a first communication link with a wireless device, an indication of a first temperature associated with the cooking recipe. The processor is further operable to, based on the indication of the first temperature, adjust the amount of energy provided by the heat source. The processor is further operable to send, to a user interface system, an indication of the adjusted amount of energy provided by the heat source. The system further includes a user interface system that includes an array of light source systems operable to provide a visual representation of the adjusted amount of energy, and a touch sensor.

  • Patent number: 6077246
    Abstract: A medical irrigation pump and pump system utilize a permanent non-sterile drive motor capable of operating disposable sterile single use pump units each of which is specifically designed for a particular medical procedure. The pump units have housings which are adapted to be interchangeable within the permanent controller system. Only the sterilized and disposable pump units come into contact with the fluid pathway during pumping. A pattern of bumps on each pump unit is unique for the medical procedure for which the pump unit was designed. The pattern of bumps engages switches on the controller, enabling the controller to identify what type of pump unit has been installed. After automatically identifying the type of pump unit and the intended medical procedure, the controller automatically selects a default motor speed that will provide an appropriate fluid pressure for that particular procedure. Buttons on a control panel also enable the user to manually adjust the pressure delivered by the pump.
