TEMPERATURE SENSING ASSEMBLY FOR AN OVEN APPLIANCE
An oven appliance includes a cooking chamber positioned within a cabinet and a heating assembly for selectively heating the cooking chamber. The cooking chamber has two or more separate regions, and a temperature sensing assembly includes a temperature sensor positioned within each region of the cooking chamber. A switching assembly is coupled to the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor and is adjustable between a first position that connects the first temperature sensor to a controller and a second position that connects the second temperature sensor to the controller.
Electronic plumbing fixture fitting including learning system and reference system
The present invention provides an electronic plumbing fixture fitting including a learning system and a reference system. The electronic plumbing fixture fitting includes a user input module and a processor. The user input module includes a mechanism to receive from the user numerical value(s) of parameter(s) for water to be delivered through a discharge outlet of the electronic plumbing fixture fitting (e.g., a temperature) and a mechanism to deliver to the user the numerical value(s) of the parameter(s) via the water delivered through the discharge outlet of the electronic plumbing fixture fitting. Additionally, the processor includes a mechanism to learn a range of the numerical value(s) of the parameter(s) from a minimum value of the parameter to a maximum value of the parameter (e.g., from a lowest achievable temperature to a highest achievable temperature).

ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREFOR
An electronic device includes a sensor, a communication circuit, and a processor configured to learn a scenario based on use of the electronic device in a first temperature range, determine, using the communication circuit and/or the sensor, whether a place element of the electronic device is changed, start the scenario based on determining that the place element is changed, estimate an ambient temperature of the electronic device based on the scenario, and enter a second heating control mode at a second temperature different from a first heating control mode at a first temperature, based on the estimated ambient temperature being different from an internal temperature of the electronic device.
AIRCRAFT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
An aircraft water supply system supplies water to a water discharge port in an aircraft. A cold water flow path supplies cold water to the water discharge port. A hot water flow path supplies hot water to the water discharge port. A first control valve adjusts the flow rate of cold water flowing through the cold water flow path. A second control valve adjusts the flow rate of hot water flowing through the hot water flow path. A temperature sensor detects the water temperature at any point up to the water discharge port. A flow control unit controls the opening/closing state of the first control valve and the second control valve based on the water temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
The present invention provides a semiconductor device comprising a storage chip and a temperature detection module for detecting a temperature of the storage chip. When the temperature detected by the temperature detection module reaches a set threshold, the storage chip is activated. The present invention utilizes the temperature detection module to detect the temperature of the storage chip so as to provide a reference for the activation and operation of the storage chip, avoiding the activation and operation of the storage chip under low temperatures, shortening write time, and improving the stability of the storage chip write; the temperature detection module has a simple circuit structure and is easy for implementation, with a small occupied area, exerting no influence on the active area of the storage chip.
