A disappearing interface system for a device, such as an appliance (e.g., a cooking range) having an interactive user interface, a light-emitting device (e.g., a LED), a microprocessor based LED fader electronic control system that uses a PWM signal to drive an A/D circuit to control the intensity (e.g., fade in/out) of the light-emitting device.

Disappearing interface system

A communication arrangement for a household appliance device. The arrangement includes a first communication part including a transmitter for transmitting a wireless signal, and a second communication part, remotely located from the first communication part, including a receiver for receiving the wireless signal. One of the first and second communication parts is associated with the appliance device. In one aspect, the second communication part includes a processor to process the signal and nullify the effects of noise transmitted in the signal. In one aspect, the signal is an RF signal, and the second communication part includes means to over sample the signal.
