    Abstract: A bed system includes microclimate control capabilities for providing quality sleep experience. The bed system can include a microclimate control subsystem configured to supply conditioned air (e.g., heated or cooled air) to a mattress, or draw ambient air from the mattress, to achieve a desired temperature at the top of the mattress. Utilizing supply of conditioned air to provide air at desired temperature to the mattress system, or utilizing air suction to drain heat away from the mattress system, can provide precise microclimate control at the mattress, thereby permitting conformable sleep.

  • Publication number: 20210204725
    Abstract: An adhesive surface organizer consists of an adhesive device (such as suction cups or adhesive tape) attached to a solid divider wall material. Once pushed onto a flat non-porous surface (such as a drawer, a countertop or the floor), this product is used to separate and organize different types of smaller objects that are placed on that same flat surface and that may otherwise intermingle. Several adhesive surface organizers may be placed on the same surface to create organizational units that are enclosed on all sides, or to form rows and a grid creating multiple organizational units. For example, one may place four adhesive surface organizers to create a square shape. The user may store different smaller items in these various organizational units. The adhesive surface organizer can be placed on both vertical and horizontal surfaces.

    Abstract: A foodstuff preparation device may include a roasting chamber having grinding funnel configured for communicating a foodstuff, having a pre-ground particle size, between two or more grinding stones, such as a first grinding stone and a second grinding stone. A grinding motor may be configured to motivate the foodstuff between the two or more grinding stone so that the foodstuff exits from between a first grinding stone and second grinding stone with a first ground particle size, the first ground particle size smaller than the pre-ground particle size. Generally, the device may be configured to prepare foodstuffs, such as sesame seeds, by roasting and grinding them to produce Tahini, or any other similar prepared food. Optionally, the foodstuff may be communicated into the grinding funnel from a dispensing funnel or from a roasting cavity having a heating element configured to govern the temperature of the roasting cavity.

  • Publication number: 20210204756
    Abstract: A grinder has first and second body parts rotatable to each other. The first and second body parts engage the outer and inner burrs, respectively. A supporting flange in the second body part forms a seat to receive the outer burr. The outer burr is pressed toward the supporting flange to localize the outer burr against undesirable forces generated during grinding. A ring-shaped plate is sandwiched between the supporting flange and the outer burr. The outer burr presses on a bearing surface of the plate. The bearing surface is more resistant to abrasion than the supporting flange, advantageously reducing wear debris generation due to abrasion by the outer burr. Furthermore, a shaft engaging the inner burr is shaped as a triangular column for more effectively transmitting a received torque to the inner burr, allowing a plastic shaft to be used so as to reduce the manufacturing cost.
