  • Publication number: 20220071450
    Abstract: An electrically operated kitchen appliance includes at least two functional elements for performing a function of the kitchen appliance and has a receiving region for holding a preparation vessel. The receiving region has an electrical interface with electrical contact elements that are electrically connected to a functional element of the kitchen appliance, and establish an electrically conductive connection to corresponding contact elements of a preparation vessel, which is connected to the receiving region. The kitchen appliance has a switch-over device, which is assigned to the electrical contact elements and which changes a connection assignment between the electrical contact elements of the kitchen appliance and the functional elements of the kitchen appliance in such a way that after the actuation of the switch-over device, a functional element is connected to a different electrical contact element than prior to the actuation of the switch-over device.

  • Patent number: 8763372
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for operating an electromagnetically controllable metering valve, which is disposed in an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine. For a metering of reducing agent in the exhaust gas system, the metering valve is actuated by a control and/or regulating device via an electromechanical drive unit with a first current profile, which includes a holding current phase having a first holding current level when said metering valve is open. Said metering valve and the drive unit are part of a metering module. When the internal combustion engine is switched off, said metering valve is actuated via said drive unit with a second current profile, which has a second holding current level that is increased with respect to the first holding current level. An independent claim relates to a control device set up to carry out the method.
