Provided are a heating unit, an imaging unit that captures an image of an interior of a heating chamber, a setting unit that sets heating control details, and a storage that registers the captured image and the set heating control details in association with each other. Further provided area plural-article determination unit that determines whether a plurality of types of foods are present, a similarity determination unit that determines a degree of similarity of a plurality of images, a control detail identification unit that identifies heating control details corresponding to a food included in a captured image in accordance with a determination result obtained by the similarity determination unit, and a controller. The controller presents heating control details indicating each food on a display unit in accordance with a number of the foods. This configuration can provide a heating cooker capable of facilitating heating control setting.

Heating cooker

An operation display part according to the present invention includes a GUI display portion which displays each of display images having a size in a horizontal direction correlated with a duration of an operating time of each of the steps, a touch operating portion which extends or shortens the size of each of the display images, a controller which determines an operating time of each step based on the operating time corresponding to the size of each of the display images, and a memory which stores information of a settable range of the operating time of each steps set for each washing course, wherein, when an operating time of a step included in a predetermined washing course is set in the predetermined washing course, the GUI display portion displays the settable range of the operating time of this washing course as a range in a horizontal direction together with the display images. Consequently, in an electric machine and appliance which executes an operation action selected from a plurality of operation actions including a plurality of steps, it is possible to display a settable range of an operating time of each step of this selected operation action.

Operating device

A themometer for measuring a body temperature by using infrared rays and on the basis of a measuring method in which a measurement error fluctuates depending upon the length of the measuring time including computation time. The measuring time is calculated on the basis of a required measurement error, so that a temperature can be measured in a suitable time corresponding to a required allowable error. A probe is formed of a porous structure so as to improve the heat insulating effect thereof, and an auxiliary adapter is provided to permit the thermometer to be fitted better in the earhole in spite of an individual difference in size thereof with the function of reporting a relative ovulation date based on a desired delivery date also incorporated in the themometer.
