Patent number: 11313563Abstract: A heating cooker to manage surface and inside temperatures of food. A heating portion heats inside of a heating space where the food material is placed. At least one processor controls the heating portion to perform driving for high-temperature heating after performing driving for low-temperature heating. During the driving for low-temperature heating, the heating portion may heat the inside of the heating space such that an average increase velocity of a reference temperature of the food material is lower than an average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material during the driving for high-temperature heating. During the driving for high-temperature heating, the heating portion may heat the inside of the heating space such that an average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material is higher than the average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material during the driving for low-temperature heating.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroki Kobayashi, Toshihiro Kamii, Yurika Kida, Katsunori Araki, Kahoru Tsujimoto, Kazuo Shimizu

Patent number: 11058280Abstract: Disclosed herein is useful as a stored object detector and a method of detecting stored objects configured to capture an image a movable storage portion, and objects stored in the storage portion, and configured to acquire storage information including at least one of position, size and quantity of the stored object based on the captured image. In addition, disclosed herein is a dishwasher configured to identify at least storage area of dish stored in a dish storage basket. It is possible to estimate a position of a basket, although the number of feature points is small. Therefore, when installing a detection indicator corresponding to the feature point, which is separated from the general configuration, to the basket, it is not required to install a large number of detection indicator, and thus it is possible to improve the appearance of the dishwasher.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Morio Yoshimoto, Katsunori Araki, Hisashi Kawasaki, Toshihiro Kamii, Kazuo Shimizu
