Abstract: In an actuator system having a toothed actuator and a tensioner to apply a tension force to the toothed actuator, a hold mechanism holds the tooth actuator stationary, through disengage-able contact with at least one tooth thereof, with respect to a direction of the tension force while allowing the tooth actuator to move freely in a direction opposite the direction of the tension force. An advancement pawl having at least two degrees of freedom engages with one or more teeth on the tooth actuator to displace the tooth actuator a distance in the direction opposite of the direction of the tension force.

Abstract: Universal electronic oven heating functionality modules and associated methods are disclosed herein. One such module includes an energy steering element, a controller with control logic for the energy steering element, a first means for forming a seal with an opening, and a casing to enclose the controller and the energy steering element. The casing can include top and bottom side elements. One such method includes providing a functionality module with a mounting plate, the first means for forming a seal, and the casing. The method also includes providing an electronic oven with a heating chamber and a second means for forming a seal with the functionality module. The heating chamber can have a first opening for a heating chamber door, and a second opening for functionality module reception. The method also includes engaging the functionality module with the heating chamber to form a seal between the first and second means.

Abstract: Method and systems related to vertically actuated heating chamber doors are disclosed. One system includes an electronic oven, comprising a hinge mechanism, a heating chamber, a chamber door connected to the hinge mechanism, and an integrated touch display on the chamber door. The chamber door seals the heating chamber in a closed state and reveals the heating chamber in an open state. The hinge mechanism is configured to move the chamber door vertically between the open state and the closed state.

Abstract: In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a lid rotatably connected to the housing, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, and a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. A fluid discharge manifold is in fluid communication with the pump and is arranged proximate to a portion of a wipe dispensing path. The lid is operably disposed with respect to the pump such that depression of the lid causes discharge of fluid from the pump through the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes partial dispensation of a wipe from the housing.

Abstract: The container may hold a material, such as, plastic wrap. The first container portion may include a first leg with an engagement member. The engagement member may engage the second leg during the cutting process. In addition, the engagement member may disengage from the second leg during or after the cutting process. When the user wishes to cut the material, the user pushes down on the first container portion. The material is held between the engagement member and the second leg at a first location. The third leg may assist in holding the material at a second location. The holding of the material in tension may facilitate the cutting of the material. As the user continues to push down on the first container portion, the engagement member disengages from the second leg. The user can remove the portion of material without opening the first container portion.
