20150197417 | SELF-FILLING REFRIGERATOR WATER PITCHER - A system and method that supplies fluid, the system comprising a removable container having a magnet, a dispenser defining a cavity to receive the removable container, a sensor disposed adjacent to the cavity, and a control circuit configured to supply fluid to the removable container in response to the sensor (1) detecting a presence of the magnet and (2) detecting that a change in flux of the magnet is greater than a predetermined amount. | 07-16-2015 |
20140352335 | ADAPTIVE DEFROST - Adaptive defrost systems, computer program products, and methods are provided. A defrost cycle is initiated, and an actual time of defrost (TOD) is determined based on the defrost cycle. Additionally, a first time between defrost (TBD) between defrost cycles is determined. A variable increment time between defrost (TBDInc) is calculated based at least partially on the ideal time of defrost and the actual time of defrost. The TBD is incremented by TBDInc, resulting in a new TBD, which may be used to initiate the next defrost cycle. | 12-04-2014 |
