Abstract

ABSTRACT A cooking appliance body (1) is provided with a display device (8) which is used to picture cooking methods so as to improve the operability of the cooking appliance. The display device (8) can be used in a multipurpose way to project pictures from a television receiver (4a), a monitor camera (5) and a video playback device (7). It is also equipped with a voice input device (12) and a synthesizer (18), whereby the operability is further improved.

Abstract of the Disclosure A solid state imaging apparatus comprising a plural of photoelectric devices disposed in two-dimensional arrangement, gate means connected to each photoelectric device to read out signals to vertical lines ?1, ?2, ?3 ..., and horizontal lines L1, L2 ... for conveying vertical scanning control signals to the gate means, has a vertical shift register 302, which feed the vertical scanning control signals to said horizontal lines L1, L2 ..., is substantially directly connected to the horizontal lines, the vertical scanning control signals have at least two pulses within one horizontal scanning time period, so that neighboring two lines of the gate means are switched on at closely disposed but different time in the one horizontal scanning time period. Thus, flickering due to stray capacities is eliminated.

Abstract

ELECTRIC FAN ASSEMBLY Abstract of the Disclosure An electric fan assembly comprises a generally cylindrical cross-flow fan, a rear guide and a stabilizer. The rear guide has a downstream edge with respect to the direction of flow of air to which a plate is hingedly connected. By using the adherence effect of the air current to this plate, the direction of the air current is controlled by pivoting the plate. A relatively slight pivotal movement of the plate is sufficient to bring a larger deflection of the air current. The assembly can be employed in a heater or air-conditioner in which case a relatively high efficiency can be appreciated, with relatively little change in overall flow arising from changes in the angle of deflection.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This invention provides a cooking appliance using a gas fuel as a heat source and having an appliance body (1), comprising a temperature sensor (6) installed in a heating chamber, a control circuit (18) adapted to be actuated by the output from the temperature sensor (6) and to operate according to three working temperatures, namely, a preset temperature, an upper limit temperature and a lower limit temperature, the arrangement being such that when the temperature in the heating chamber being detected by the temperature sensor reaches the upper limit temperature, main burners (2, 3) are completely closed; when it reaches the preset temperature, the firing of the main burners (2, 3) is reduced by half; and when it reaches the lower limit temperature, the main burners (2, 3) are fully opened, thereby effecting fine temperature control, the firing rate being automatically adjusted according to variations in external conditions affecting the heating chamber temperature, thereby maintaining the preset temperature throughout the heating operation to provide satisfactory results of cooking.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This invention relates to a sanitary cleaning equipment comprising a warm water tank (16), a pump (14) and a flushing nozzle as connected thereto, a sheathed heater (23) located in said warm water tank (16) and adapted to warm a cleaning water fed to said warm water tank, the resultant warm water being ejected from said flushing nozzle against a body area to be cleaned. The quantity of cleaning water in the warm water tank is sensed by a float (26) and when the water quantity is above a preset level, a switch (31) is closed to energize the sheathed heater (23) so that thermal damage to various components due to an idle heating of the warm water tank is prevented.
