Abstract: A brewing device (2) for an espresso-type coffee machine including a brewing chamber (12) for receiving ground coffee, a movably mounted pressure piston (13) in translation with a stroke that extends from an upper retracted position in which the pressure piston (13) is located above the brewing chamber (12) to a lower tamping position in which the pressure piston (13) enters said brewing chamber (12) and a potentiometer controlled by driving means during the stroke of the pressure piston (13) to measure the tamping position of said pressure piston and to thereby calculate the height of the compressed cake of ground coffee. The driving means only act on the potentiometer for a portion of the stroke of the pressure piston (13).

Abstract: A food cooking management device configured to be removably positioned on a cooking vessel cooperating with a hot plate, the cooking management device being configured to emit signals intended either to control the hot plate or to prompt the user to act on the hot plate and/or on the food being cooked, wherein the cooking management device includes a recognition system to recognize a type and/or size of the cooking vessel on which the cooking management device is positioned, said recognition system acting on the cooking management device in order to adapt the signals emitted according to the type and/or size of the cooking vessel recognized.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus (1) for treating skin, including: a body (2) including a casing (21, 22) forming a grippable region; electrical means for supplying power, arranged in said body; at least one treatment head (3); at least one light source (4); and at least one light guide (5) having a projection area (51) that is intended to receive the light emitted by the at least one light source (4) and to project at least one light beam intended for a region of skin. The at least one light guide (5) comprises a face opposite said projection area (51), the opposite face comprising distributing means intended to distribute the light over the projection area (51).

Abstract: The invention relates to an appliance for cooking food under pressure, the appliance comprising: a bowl and a lid (2) designed to be mounted on the bowl; a temperature sensor (10); and a pressure-regulating valve (3) that is sensitive to the pressure prevailing inside the cooking enclosure and that is mounted to move between two stable abutment positions, namely a first position in which it shuts off communication from the enclosure to the outside so long as the internal pressure is lower than a predetermined pressure P0, and a second position in which it puts the inside of the enclosure into communication with the outside via a steam outlet (7) once the internal pressure reaches substantially the predetermined pressure P0; said appliance being characterized in that the temperature sensor (10) is disposed in the vicinity of the outlet (7) so as to make it possible to sense the increase in temperature resulting from the steam passing through the steam outlet (7). A pressure-cooking appliance.

Abstract: An electrical component having a small electrically isolating ceramic plate carrying on one of its faces a screened resistive and/or conductive pattern, the other face being in contact with a metal plate intended to be heated or the temperature of which is to be measured. The pattern has at least one metallized extremity to establish an electrical connection with a conductive wire. The conductive wire is soldered onto the metallized extremity and the small ceramic plate is entirely covered by a metal cover the peripheral edges of which surround the small plate and are fixed in a watertight manner to the metal plate by a resin. The lateral wall of the cover has at least one opening for the passage of the conductive wire or wires, the opening or openings being blocked by a sealing resin.
