Abstract: A refrigerator appliance includes a liner positioned within a cabinet and a mullion positioned within the liner to define a fresh food chamber and a freezer chamber. One or more doors provide selective access to these chambers and are covered by an appearance panel, such as a cabinetry panel. An air pocket is defined between the appearance panel and the liner or mullion, and a heat transfer feature is positioned within the air pocket for increasing a surface area for thermal energy transfer, thereby reducing cool spots and potential condensation within the air pocket or on surfaces defining the air pocket.

Abstract: In various embodiments, image sensors and methods of operating the image sensors are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a pixel circuit having a first electrode is coupled to a reset transistor and to a first region of an optically sensitive layer, and a second electrode is coupled to a pixel sense node and to a second region of an optically sensitive layer. The electrical path from the first electrode, through the optically sensitive layer, and into the second electrode functions as a variable resistor. Other devices and methods of operating the devices are disclosed.
