Abstract: A cooking assistance device is for weighing a kitchen appliance or food container and then calculating a weight of food contained by the kitchen appliance or container based on a known dry weight. The food weight is provided to cooking aid device (which may be an integral part of the assistance device or it may be a remote device) for providing cooking instructions to a user. The device is thus able to coordinate the use of multiple kitchen appliances or utensils for example when a recipe is being followed by a user, with user instructions, information or advice being provided.

Abstract: A cooktop may include: a main body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a suction opening; at least one cooking area configured to accommodate a heating element proximate to the top surface; suction means in fluid communication with the suction opening and configured to draw in cooking fumes; a support element connected to the main body; and weight sensing means between the support element and the main body for sensing a weight of objects to be weighed. The support element may at least partially overlap the suction means. The suction means may include: a suction duct in fluid communication with the suction opening; and a housing in fluid communication with the suction duct and configured to receive filters for the cooking fumes. The weight sensing means may be at the suction duct and/or the housing. The suction opening may be on the top surface.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a weighing method of a touchscreen terminal, and a touchscreen terminal. When a to-be-weighed object is placed in a preset area of a touchscreen of a touchscreen terminal, a reported first capacitance value and reported coordinates of a compensation point are obtained. The first capacitance value is compensated according to a compensation relationship, the coordinates of the compensation point, and the first capacitance value to obtain a second capacitance value. In this way, no additional external structure is needed for the touchscreen terminal, making the touchscreen terminal convenient to carry.

Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis machine has a machine housing and a drain pan for receiving one or more solution bags for storing consumed dialysate. The drain pan is connected to a weighing cell such that the weight of the drain pan can be detected by the weighing cell. A damping system prevents the occurrence of undue force introduction into the weighing cell. The damping system has a damper to which the drain pan is directly or indirectly fastened, and the damper is connected to the weighing cell such that the weight of the drain pan acting thereon is transmitted to the weighing cell.

Abstract: The monitoring device provides value to parents by assisting with monitoring their infants via a convenient sensor package, straightforward interface, and informative data. With movement, orientation, and temperature data, some strong indicators of general well-being can be monitored and conclusions extracted without the parent needing to be constantly involved. The low-power transceiver technology also means that the device can integrate with smart devices for even more convenience. Such a smart device can in turn communicate with modem large-scale data storage and analysis centers for data logging and analytics, which allows useful analytics to be passed back to the user. The advanced sensing, displaying, and analyzing of data makes the invention stands out in the field of infant monitoring devices.
