Abstract: An oven appliance with one or more features for directly measuring a temperature of a food item in a cooking chamber of the oven appliance. The oven appliance is also configured to modify operation of at least one of a first heating element, a second heating element, and a convection fan in response to the directly measured temperature of the food item.

Abstract: A method for monitoring cooking in an oven appliance includes drawing cooking vapors or gases from a cooking chamber to a fluid analysis assembly of the oven appliance during a gas or vapor analysis cooking cycle, determining a cooking status of the food item within the cooking chamber with the controller of the oven appliance based upon a response pattern of a plurality of fluid sensors of the fluid analysis assembly to the cooking vapors or gases during the gas or vapor analysis cooking cycle, and activating an alert with the controller of the oven appliance when the cooking status of the food item within the cooking chamber is a particular cooking status.

Abstract: A hydrogen evolution assisted electroplating nozzle includes a nozzle tip configured to interface with a portion of a substructure. The nozzle also includes an inner coaxial tube connected to a reservoir containing an electrolyte and an anode, the inner coaxial tube configured to dispense the electrolyte through the nozzle tip onto the portion of the substructure. The nozzle also includes an outer coaxial tube encompassing the inner coaxial tube, the outer coaxial tube configured to extract the electrolyte from the portion of the substructure. The nozzle also includes at least one contact pin configured to make electrical contact with a conductive track on the substrate.

Abstract: An oven appliance having at least two cooking chambers with features for ensuring the cooking chambers exit preheat and finish cooking food items within each cooking chamber at the same time is provided. A method for operating an oven appliance having at least two cooking chambers also is provided. The method includes features for ensuring the cooking chambers exit preheat and finish cooking food items within each cooking chamber at the same time.

Abstract: A system and method for preheating a cooking chamber of an oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance may include one or more heating elements that operate according to a control algorithm that prevents the center oven temperature from exceeding a maximum desired temperature threshold. The control algorithm accounts for discrepancies between the measured oven temperature and the actual center oven temperature, particularly when preheating a cold oven. As a result, the control algorithm selectively operates one or more of the heating elements after the measured oven temperature is above the maximum desired temperature threshold. Preheating the cooking chamber in this manner will improve overall cooking performance.

Abstract: Processing circuitry is provided to perform an operation FRINT for rounding a floating-point value to an integral floating-point value. Control circuitry controls the processing circuitry to perform the FRINT operation in response to an FRINT instruction. The processing circuitry includes shifting circuitry for generating a rounding value by shifting a base value, adding circuitry for adding the rounding value to the significand of the floating-point value to generate a sum value, mask generating circuitry for generating a mask for clearing fractional-valued bits of the sum value, and masking circuitry for applying the mask to the sum value to generate the integral floating-point value.

Abstract: A continuous process for generation of phosgene from CO and Cl2 and consumption of the phosgene thus generated in a liquid-phase reaction so as to form organic products P. The process is implemented in two successive reactors R1 and R2, the first reactor R1 being a reactor for catalytic synthesis of phosgene from CO and Cl2 gas, and the second reactor R2 being a piston reactor, the second reactor R2 being equipped with a mechanical axial agitation device.

Abstract: Organic synthesis, i.e., the synthesis of carboxylic acids by direct carbonylation of alcohols in a continuous process, and more particularly, the synthesis of phenylalkylic acids, which are synthesis intermediates useful in pharmaceutical chemistry, by direct carbonylation of phenyl alkyl alcohols.

Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous method for the catalytic hydrogenation of an aromatic compound into a cycloaliphatic compound, wherein said method is carried out in a piston reactor provided with a mechanical axially agitating means and comprises continuously feeding a liquid phase comprising said aromatic compound and a catalyst dispersed to the liquid phase, subjecting said liquid phase, at a temperature of between 100° C. and 300° C. and while being mechanical axially agitated, to the effects of a hydrogen pressure of between 10 and 250 bars in the presence of said catalyst dispersed in the liquid phase for a residence time of between 1 second and 10 minutes, and removing the liquid phase from the reactor.

Abstract: A potty training assembly includes a flexible disposable and water-insoluble body that is adaptable between a bowl and a folded shape. The body includes a top fluid-absorbent layer and a bottom fluid-impermeable layer, which are coextensively shaped and lay contiguously against each other. The body has a top lip flanging outwardly and away from a center thereof and has a linear slit formed therein so the body can bifurcate into first and second portions. A mechanism is included for crystallizing human discharged fluids such that the fluids remain trapped within the top layer. A mechanism is included for securing the first and second portions to each other such that the first and second edges can become coupled. The adjustably securing mechanism is permanently affixed to the top lip of the body. A support bench includes an annular cavity formed therein. The body is removably seated within the cavity.
