Abstract: The present invention relates to an air-based flyer (10) apparatus comprising a food preparation chamber (140) comprising an outer wall (11), an inner wall (14) defining a food receiving space (141) with an air inlet (142) and an air discharge opening (145), and a circulation channel (113) defined between the outer wall (11) and the inner wall (14). The apparatus also comprises an air heater (13) for heating air in the food preparation chamber (140), a fan (192) for moving a flow of hot air successively through the air inlet (142), the food receiving space (141), the discharge opening (145), and the channel (113).

Abstract: A method for constructing an inflatable support system by forming a first layer comprised of thermoplastic polyurethane and a second layer comprised of thermoplastic polyurethane. At least one coil is formed from thermoplastic polyurethane and a first end of the coil is attached to the first layer. A second end of the coil is attached to the second layer.

Abstract: A pump uses a power source to deliver power to a second power source while driving a fluid displacement device. The pump includes a fluid displacement device and a circuit coupled to a first power source and a second power source. The first power source may draw a first current from the second power source.

Abstract: An inflatable support system comprised of at least one inflatable chamber that is defined by at least a top and a bottom layer of material. At least one of these layers of material is comprised of thermoplastic polyurethane. The inflatable support system includes at least one support structure that is also comprised of thermoplastic polyurethane. This support structure is attached to at least one of the layers of material that define the inflatable chamber.
