20140150771 | COOKTOP VENTILATION AND COOLING SYSTEM - A domestic cooking appliance is provided. The appliance includes an oven having an oven exhaust duct located above the oven, and an exhaust fan for moving cooling air though the oven exhaust duct and out of an exhaust opening located at an upper rear location of the oven; and a cooktop located above the oven, the cooktop having a main unit configured to be positioned above the oven and having a container support for supporting cooking containers to be heated by the cooktop; and a ventilation system for routing cooling air through the main unit, the ventilation system having a cooling air inlet located at a bottom front of the main unit and above the oven, and a cooktop duct that channels the cooling air from the cooling air inlet to the container support or channels the cooling air from the container support to the oven air exhaust duct. | 06-05-2014 |
20140150773 | DOMESTIC COOKING APPLIANCE WITH ADJUSTABLE GAS SWITCH MOUNTING SYSTEM - A domestic cooking appliance having a gas burner and a control panel assembly is provided. The assembly includes a control panel cover; a gas switch for regulating an amount of gas delivered to the gas burner; and a mounting bracket having a front section that contacts a back side of the control panel cover, a set back section that contacts the front side of the gas switch, a top section that contacts the top of the gas switch, a bottom section that contacts the bottom of the gas switch, and a tab that extends from the top section of the mounting bracket and is attached to the top section of the mounting bracket such that it is bendable from an installation position to a switch-retaining position. The tab presses against the back side of the gas switch when the tab is in the switch-retaining position. | 06-05-2014 |
20140345596 | DOMESTIC COOKING APPLIANCE WITH EMBOSSED LOCKING SYSTEM FOR A GAS FLUE - A domestic cooking appliance is provided. The appliance has an inner space for cooking a food item; a gas burner; an exhaust opening; and a gas flue for directing exhaust gases from the inner space to the exhaust opening. The gas flue has a first part having a plurality of embossed projections, and a first fastener hole; and a second part that attaches to the first part, the second part having a plurality of embossed recesses that engage the plurality of embossed projections, and a second fastener hole that aligns with the first fastener hole when the first part and the second part are in an assembled position. The first part and the second part form a first tubular flue section when they are attached to each other, and the first part has more embossed projections than it does fastener holes. | 11-27-2014 |
20150260415 | HOME COOKING APPLIANCE HAVING A FLUE BOUNDARY - A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooking compartment in the housing, a flue in the housing and in fluid communication with the cooking compartment for exhausting flue gases from the cooking compartment, an exhaust outlet for exhausting the flue gases from the housing, and a flue boundary connecting the flue and the exhaust outlet, the flue boundary separating flue gases from cooling air flowing through the housing and preventing dilution of flue gases with cooling air. The housing includes a cooling rough-in box having a cooling air flow channel for cooling the rear wall of the flue boundary. The cooling rough-in box includes an opening permitting the cooling air to be drawn into the cooling air flow channel from an exterior of the housing by convection owing to heat on the rear wall of the flue boundary. | 09-17-2015 |
20150292747 | HOME COOKING APPLIANCE HAVING A GAS RAIL SYSTEM - A home cooking appliance includes a housing and a gas cooktop on the housing. The gas cooktop includes a lower cooktop floor and an upper cooktop surface, the gas cooktop including a cooktop burner on the upper cooktop surface. The gas cooktop includes a gas rail system on the housing and disposed between the lower cooktop floor and the upper cooktop surface. The gas rail system supports functional components of the gas cooktop needed for gas leak testing the gas cooktop. The gas rail system supports the functional components in a spaced manner from the lower cooktop floor. | 10-15-2015 |

20160004609 | FAULT TOLERANT COMMUNICATIONS - Apparatuses, systems and methods are disclosed for tolerating fault in a communications grid. Specifically, various techniques and systems are provided for detecting a fault or failure by a node in a network of computer nodes in a communications grid, adjusting the grid to avoid grid failure, and taking action based on the failure. In an example, a system may include receiving grid status information at a backup control node, the grid status information including a project status, storing the grid status information within the backup control node, receiving a failure communication including an indication that a primary control node has failed, designating the backup control node as a new primary control node, receiving updated grid status information based on the indication that the primary control node has failed, and transmitting a set of instructions based on the updated grid status information. | 01-07-2016 |
