  • Publication number: 20150145868
    Abstract: An induction heating cooker including reinforced heat resistant glass on which a cooking vessel is placed, an induction coil unit located under the reinforced heat resistant glass and configured to generate a magnetic field, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) provided radially outside and vertically below the induction coil unit while being spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction of the induction coil unit, a plurality of convex lenses provided on front surfaces of the plurality of LEDs, respectively, a light blocking film provided on a lower surface of the reinforced heat resistant glass, and a slit formed in the light blocking film and allowing light radiated from the plurality of LEDs to pass therethrough, so that light radiated from the LEDs are slantingly projected to form an image of flame, which looks real, on a lower end portion of a side surface of the cooking vessel.

  • Patent number: 6544124
    Abstract: A handheld game controller for use with a dedicated game system, personal computer, or other device is provided. The game controller includes two user grippable portions, typically a pair of handles, which the user holds during game play. As a result of this configuration, during use the game controller neither rests on nor becomes attached to a rigid surface such as a desk, tabletop, or other stationary object. In one aspect, one handle of the game controller is held by one of the user's hands while the second handle of the game controller, held by the user's other hand, is free to rotate within the predetermined rotational limits of the device. In a typical application, right direction and left direction control signals are sent to the game system or personal computer as a result of clockwise rotation and counter-clockwise rotation of the second handle of the game controller, respectively. A sensor coupled to the second handle generates the control signals.
