A multi-cavity air fryer is provided that includes a main body having a cooking chamber where one or more cooking containers may be placed when an air frying function is carried out. A movable lid is hingedly attached to the main body. The cooking containers may be removed from the main body by way of an opening provided when the lid is opened. Similarly, when the lid is opened a user may check cooking progress without having to remove a cooking container from the cooking chamber.

The current invention provides a heating pad with a storage pouch and/or straps. The heating pad itself can store its controller and cord in a neat and compact manner within the pouch and/or secured by the straps or another fastener like a hook and loop fastener.

The present disclosure is directed to a heating pad that conforms to body parts of a user. The conforming heating pad can be worn to provide heat relief on different parts of a user's body. In an embodiment, a conforming heating pad includes a first layer on a posterior side of the heating pad, a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer on an anterior side of the heating pad. A continuous heating element is distributed throughout the second layer. The continuous heating element is capable of being selectively heated to increase the temperature of the heating pad. The third layer has a plurality of cavities formed in it. Each cavity holds a plurality of beads. When the heating pad is applied to a body portion of a user, the weight of the beads applies a force against the conductive heating element, the second layer, and the first layer to thereby conform them to the body portion of the user.

A blender or food processor having electronics associated therewith including at least one controller, at least one current sensor and at least one speed sensor, the controller controls the operation of the blender motor based upon the contents being blended inside the blender jar and compares measured current and speed values and measured changes in the current and speed values to predetermined values stored in memory in order to (1) determine the load size placed in the blender jar, (2) determine if cavitation exists in the blender jar, and (3) determine the final consistency associated with the output of the product placed within the blender jar as selected by the user.

The present disclosure generally relates to a portable battery-operated blender, and more particularly, to a blender base for a portable battery-operated blender. The blender base comprises a motor having a motor shaft rotatably coupled thereto. The motor shaft is in turn operably coupled to a blade assembly. The longitudinal axis of the motor shaft is generally angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the blender base. In some instances, a load sensing controller is operatively coupled to the motor, the load sensing controller configured to change the motor direction and/or speed when a load imbalance is detected in the blender base.
