Abstract: The invention provides a nutritional value prediction system. A nutritional value of processed food is predicted based on an identity of food to be processed and processing characteristics of a kitchen appliance used to process the food to be processed. Processing characteristics of the kitchen appliance are determined based on a sensed parameter of a power supply of the kitchen appliance.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for error correction at a memory device are described. In some examples, as part of transmitting a command to access data stored at a memory device, a host device may transmit a combined error control code to the memory device that may be generated using the command and associated inversion information. The memory device may use the received combined error control code to perform an error control procedure on both the command and the inversion information. In some examples, while in a direct link error control code procedure mode, the host system may transmit a command to access data stored at the memory device. The host system may use a same pin or channel to transmit both an error control code for the command and an error control code for the associated data.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus (100) for preparing a food puree comprising a chamber (102) for containing food ingredients and a steam supply (104) for supplying steam to the chamber for steaming the food ingredients. A liquid supply (106) supplies a liquid to the chamber and an agitator (108) purees the steamed food ingredients in the presence of the liquid to obtain the food puree. A user interface (110) permits user selection of a texture of the food puree. A controller determines a steam parameter and a liquid amount to be supplied by the liquid supply according to the user selection. The controller further controls the steam supply and the liquid supply according to the determined steam parameter and liquid amount. Further provided is a method for preparing the food puree.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the taste of coffee, a method of controlling the taste of coffee and a coffee maker including the apparatus. The apparatus includes a control unit, configured to determine a target pH value of water corresponding to a desired coffee taste, and a corresponding adjustment control signal; and a pH adjustment unit, configured to adjust, in response to the adjustment control signal applied to the pH adjustment unit, the pH value of water to be fed into a brewing unit of a coffee maker to the target pH value. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, the pH value of water to be fed to a brewing unit of a coffee maker may be adjusted for a desired coffee taste.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to humidity adjustment. In some embodiments, a humidity adjustment device is provided. The humidity adjustment device comprises a container including a wall for defining an accommodating space. The wall includes a water separating element for separating a mixture of water vapor and liquid water, wherein the water separating element includes a sieve portion adapted to separate the mixture of water vapor and liquid water, characterized in that the sieve portion comprises holes whose sizes are in the range of 25-35 microns. Corresponding apparatus and method are disclosed as well.

Abstract: There are provided an apparatus for controlling the taste of coffee, a method of controlling the taste of coffee and a coffee maker comprising said apparatus. The apparatus comprises a control unit (102a), configured to determine a target pH value of water corresponding to a desired coffee taste, and a corresponding adjustment control signal; and a pH adjustment unit (102b), configured to adjust, in response to the adjustment control signal applied to the pH adjustment unit (102b), the pH value of water to be fed into a brewing unit of a coffee maker to the target pH value. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, the pH value of water to be fed to a brewing unit of a coffee maker may be adjusted for a desired coffee taste. In such a manner, the influence of water properties on the taste of coffee may be greatly decreased, and thus it is possible to make coffee with the same desired taste even when water with different properties is used.
