  • Publication number: 20230243564
    Abstract: An ice making assembly includes a mold assembly with a mold cavity defined in the mold assembly. The ice making assembly also includes a reservoir in fluid communication with the mold assembly to provide a flow of liquid water to the mold cavity defined in the mold assembly. The ice making assembly further includes a thermally conductive element positioned at least partially in the reservoir. The thermally conductive element receives a flow of chilled air from the sealed system, such that the liquid water in the reservoir is chilled by the chilled air via the thermally conductive element.

  • Patent number: 11713913
    Abstract: A refrigerator appliance includes an ice maker provided within a cabinet of the appliance, the ice maker including a plurality of walls forming a receiving space, a conductive ice mold provided within the receiving space, the conductive ice mold defining an internal cavity and an exterior surface, a primary water supply positioned below the conductive ice mold to direct an ice-building spray of water to the conductive ice mold, a heat exchanger disposed on the conductive ice mold to draw heat therefrom, and a secondary water supply provided adjacent the exterior surface of the conductive ice mold. The secondary water supply dispenses ice-melting water over the exterior surface of the conductive ice mold.

  • Publication number: 20190224778
    Abstract: A material processing system comprises a laser, a scanner, a sensor and a processor. The laser is configured to generate a laser beam. The scanner is configured to control the relative position between the laser beam and a material. The sensor is configured to generate an image of the material, wherein the material has a marking representing processing information. The processor is configured to analyse the marking in the image to determine the processing information and control the scanner and the laser to process the material based on the processing information.
