20120187269 | BEVERAGE MACHINE - A beverage machine ( | 07-26-2012 |
20120139735 | VENDING MACHINE - A vending machine has at least one sensor to record at least one capacitive variable. The at least one sensor is formed as a wireless signal transmission chip, particularly a RFID chip (Radio Frequency Identification). Thus, a particularly precise and reproducible record of measurement results is possible, while permitting reduced cabling needs in view of the wireless signal transmission. | 06-07-2012 |
20120137894 | DEVICE FOR STORING MILK - The invention relates to a device ( | 06-07-2012 |
20120137893 | BEVERAGE VENDING MACHINE - The present invention relates to a beverage vending machine, particularly a coffee vending machine. According to the invention, a control device is provided for reducing a power consumption in a standby mode (energy saving mode) by reducing a temperature of a water heater, particularly a boiler temperature, such as that of a pass-through heater or a bare-wire heating system, and the control device is implemented such that it controls or regulates the reduction of the temperature of the water heater, that is, the boiler temperature and/or a waiting period before beginning the reduction, as a function of a beverage dispensing process in a preceding period of time. | 06-07-2012 |
20120137892 | DRINKS MACHINE - A drinks machine, such as a coffee machine, has at least one pipe, a container, a control device, a signal receiver, and at least one sensor to detect temperature. The at least one sensor is formed for wireless data transmission. | 06-07-2012 |
20120135119 | BREWING PROCESS - The invention relates to a method for brewing coffee in a coffee machine, particularly an automatic or fully automated espresso machine, wherein coffee beans are ground to coffee powder of a predefined quantity of coffee powder and/or a predefined grinding degree by a grinding device of the coffee machine, during a press process, the coffee powder is pressed in a brewing chamber of the coffee machine at a predefined press force, during the brewing process, a predefined quantity of water, heated to a predefined brewing temperature is passed through the coffee powder and an actual brewing time is determined, the actual brewing time is compared to a saved target brewing time, the actual brewing time is adapted to the target brewing time by increasing/reducing the press force during the brewing process or before every new coffee brewing. Thus, the brewing time can be controlled by the press force. | 05-31-2012 |
20110180559 | HANDLE FOR A COOKING VESSEL | 07-28-2011 |
20100170893 | Induction Hob - An induction hob for inductively heating cookware, having an induction coil fed with high-frequency alternating current for supplying the electromagnetic heating power, and a generator device for generating the high-frequency alternating current. In order to prevent noise developing at the cookware, the present disclosure provides for smoothing or eliminating an amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current which flows through the coil. | 07-08-2010 |
20090026637 | DEVICE FOR MIXING WATER AND GAS - A device for mixing water and gas for drinking purposes including mixing of water and gas, in which a water supply and a gas supply end. The mixing includes a turbulence generator, having a housing containing a mixture of water and gas and a plunger with two frontal faces. The plunger and the housing can be moved relative to each other in an oscillating manner. A flow connection is provided between the two frontal faces of the plunger. | 01-29-2009 |
20080290090 | Pressure cooker - A pressure cooker with a handle with an operating element, wherein the operating element comprises a rotating shaft. Also, a pressure cooker with an operating element with which pressure from the pressure cooker can be relieved through an aperture, wherein means are provided with which the pressure can be relieved with at least two specified different pressure relief rates or with at least one specified pressure relief rate and with a pressure relief rate which can be set to greater values than the specified value. Also, a pressure cooker with an operating element for opening and closing an aperture of the pressure cooker, wherein a second operable aperture of the pressure cooker is provided, as well as a pressure cooker with a pressure acquisition device having a mechanical part with at least one part, movable by the pressure, and an electronic part, which can acquire the position of the movable part in order to determine the pressure. | 11-27-2008 |
