An aerosol-generating device may include a housing defining at least one internal compartment. The housing may be waterproof. The aerosol-generating device may further include a power supply, an electric heater, and/or a haptic feedback device. Each of the power supply, electric heater, and/or haptic feedback device may be positioned within one or more of the at least one internal compartment.

Aerosol-generating device with sealed compartment

A beverage or foodstuff preparation system () comprising: a base unit (); a removable component () having a beverage or foodstuff component processing system (); a power coupling () adapted for inductive power transfer of electrical energy between the base unit and the removable component when the removable component () is coupled with the base unit ().

Beverage or foodstuff preparation system

A machine () for stirring a liquid food substance has: a container () delimiting a cavity () with a bottom () and a peripheral wall () for containing the liquid food substance to be stirred; an impeller () comprising an impelling member () which is configured to be rotated in the cavity (), the impeller () including an arrangement of driven magnetic elements () in the form of permanent magnets; and a motor () having an output shaft () that is magnetically coupled to the impelling member () via the container bottom () and/or peripheral wall () for driving the impelling member (), the output shaft () driving an arrangement of driving magnetic elements (') that cooperate magnetically with the driven magnetic elements () so as to drive the impeller () in rotation. One of the driven magnetic elements () is positioned to: generally face a first driving magnetic element () in a generally attraction orientation relative to said one driven magnetic element (), the first driving magnetic element () driving this one driven magnetic element () in rotation; and be off-set relative to a second driving magnetic element (&#x2032;) in a generally repulsion orientation relative to the one driven magnetic element (), the second magnetic element (&#x2032;) driving the one driven magnetic element () in rotation.

High torque magnetic transmission for whisk

The invention relates to a household electrical system, for example for ironing, comprising an appliance, such as an iron, connected to a base by a cord made up of at least: &#x2014;a first electrical line formed by a first set of conductive wires for high-voltage (HV) transmission of a heating power, &#x2014;a second electrical line formed by a second set of conductive wires for the low-voltage (LV) power supply of an electronic board arranged in the appliance, &#x2014;a third electrical line for providing two-way data transmission between the base and the appliance; characterised in that the third electrical line is formed by the second set of conductive wires; the system also comprising a modulator suitable for modulating the voltage and/or the current circulating in the second set of conductive wires, so as to activate the second electrical line and the third electrical line or the third electrical line exclusively.

Household electrical system comprising two-way data transmission between a base and an appliance

A machine () for homogenising a food substance has: a container () with a side wall () and a bottom wall () delimiting a cavity ('); an impeller () with an impelling member () forming an impelling surface (&#x2032;) that is drivable in rotation (r) about a central axial direction (&#x2032;) of the impelling surface (&#x2032;&#x2033;) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance; and a module () which has a housing means (&#x2032;) that contains an inner chamber () and that delimits a seat () for the container (), the chamber () containing an electric motor (). The electric motor () has an output drive axis (&#x2032;) with a driver device (&#x2033;) configured to drive a follower device () of the impeller (). The driver device (&#x2033;) and the follower device () are magnetically coupled through a sidewall () and/or bottom wall () of the container (). The driver device (&#x2033;) comprises a ferromagnetic or magnetic field-generating element () that is arranged to be magnetically coupled to a corresponding ferromagnetic or magnetic field-generating element () of the follower device (). The follower device () extends over a predominant part of the bottom wall () of the container () or across a substantial part of the wall () along a diameter thereof. The driver device () extends over a predominant part of a bottom part of the seat () or across a substantial part of the bottom part of the seat () along a diameter thereof. The ferromagnetic and magnetic field generating elements () are positioned at extremal or peripheral parts of the follower device () and of the driver device (&#x2033;).

Machine for homogenising a food substance

A machine () for homogenizing a food substance includes a container () delimiting a cavity (') for containing the food substance. The machine has an impeller () with an impelling member () having a generally disc-shaped or conically-shaped impelling surface (&#x2032;&#x2033;) that is drivable in rotation about a central axial direction (&#x2032;) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance in the container () to homogenize different phases in the food substance. The impelling member () has at least one opening () which extends through the member () from the impelling surface (&#x2032;&#x2033;) to an opposite surface () of the member ().

Impeller for food processor

A beverage preparation machine includes (i) a reservoir for a fluid, (ii) a brewing head adapted for receiving at least one ingredient capsule, (iii) a pump for pumping a predetermined volume of the fluid from the reservoir to the brewing head, (iv) a heating element for optionally heating the fluid pumped from the reservoir before it enters the capsule, (v) an electronic control board able to receive commands from a control panel of the machine. The control panel includes in combination: &#x2014;a rotating wheel which is linked to the control board such that by rotating and/or pressing the wheel, a beverage preparation parameter is set in the control board, and &#x2014;illuminated means, at least a portion of which has the shape of a schematic cup, which is linked to the control board such that the state of the beverage preparation parameter within the control board is represented on the means.
