Abstract: A digital readout device for use in a motor vehicle having a manually adjustable channel-indicating control mounted in accessible relationship to the vehicle operator. A digital display device is remotely positioned from the control interiorally of the vehicle and has a two digit illuminated panel. The panel is affixed to an interior vehicle surface adjacent a vehicle window so that it will face outwardly of the vehicle and be visible to persons exteriorally of the vehicle and in particular to operators of vehicles in the near vicinity. A flat wire connector having a connectable harness intermediately thereof provides electrical communication between the control and the display device. The construction of the control and display devices each include an extruded channel structure.

Abstract: A control system for a microwave oven includes a programmable digital logic control circuit which enables a user to program information into the digital logic control circuit. The digital logic control circuit of the present invention allows a user to program information into the control, relating to the amount of time the magnetron tube is to be energized. The control also allows the user to select the power level or duty factor at which the magnetron is energized from three different levels, thus providing a choice to the user as to whether the magnetron is to be operated in a defrost mode, a slow cook mode or a cook mode. The control of the present invention allows the oven to be operated in a single stage manner whereby the microwave oven is operated in the defrost, slow cook or cook modes for the amount of time programmed into the control by the user.
