  • Patent number: 11357320
    Abstract: A frame for sit-stand-tables comprising a longitudinal member (3), two height-adjustable legs (6, 7) with at least two telescopic profiles, namely an outer and an inner profile, and with a driving mechanism, driven by a motor unit (39), comprising an electric motor (46) and a gear. According to the invention the motor unit (39) is arranged in the longitudinal member (3) and connected to the driving mechanism in the height-adjustable legs (6, 7). Thus, a frame with a simplified construction is achieved. The construction of the legs (6, 7) can be simplified and at the same time the dimensions can be reduced, as it is not necessary to take the building-in of a motor into the legs into consideration. As both legs (6, 7) are driven by a joint motor unit (39), the electric control can also be simplified as it will not have to drive the two legs synchronously.

  • Patent number: 11357349
    Abstract: A diaper assist ring has a generic 3-dimensional geometric shape of a circle with a contoured outer perimeter with unique designated/specialized/and customized top front, front and rear markings. The device aligns and holds a diaper to itself by means of elasticity and friction (or clips), to empower users of limited flexibility the possibility of changing their own diapers in a timely and safe manner, warding off the negative ramifications of soiled diapers. The portion of the device that is not deeply inserted into the diaper, is clearly marked and is utilized as a handle. It is made out of hygienically lightweight rigid material(s). The combination of the device with diaper, expands the diaper; to conveniently and safely allow the user's first leg and then the second leg, to be inserted into the diaper's leg openings; in either a sitting or standing position(s); overcoming inherent dangers of loss of balance.

  • Patent number: 11357354
    Abstract: A nonstick utensil and its method of manufacturing are presented. The nonstick utensil includes a utensil substrate and a nonstick layer covering an inner surface of the utensil substrate. The material of the nonstick layer includes black titanium dioxide. An inner surface of a substrate of the nonstick utensil is covered with a material having black titanium dioxide applied by hot spraying, cold spraying or plasma spraying, so that a black titanium dioxide nonstick layer is formed. Compared to the prior art, instead of using a coating material, a nonstick layer having black titanium dioxide on a surface of a substrate is provided, having nonstick properties due to the low surface energy characteristic of black titanium dioxide.

  • Patent number: 11357355
    Abstract: An electronic device and a system are to be provided in order to allow, at any time, monitoring of a cooking state (as a system state) of a product cooked preferably in a liquid. This is achieved by means of a hermetically sealed body with an electronic arrangement accommodated in the body. The arrangement comprises an electronic assembly (10) with a model-forming arithmetic unit (11) and a temperature sensor (20) adapted and arranged to measure an ambient temperature of the body. In addition, an electric power source (30) and a radio interface (50) with an antenna (52) are provided, the model-forming arithmetic unit simulating a model of a cooking behavior of a foodstuff to be cooked. Information on the current cooking state of the foodstuff is transmitted from the transmission unit (52) to a receiver (a smart device) spaced apart from the hermetically sealed body.
