Oil net imports have declined since 2011, with their value falling slower than volume
Source: U.S. Census Bureau: Foreign Trade Division
The drop in net imports of oil (crude and petroleum products combined) was the major contributor to the United States reaching its lowest net trade deficit in November 2013 since 2009, although the trade deficit increased in the final month of 2013. U.S. oil trade, by far the dominant component of overall U.S. energy trade, has seen major changes in recent years. In both absolute and percentage terms, U.S. net import dependence measured volumetrically (in terms of barrels or barrels per day) has been declining since 2005.
Although the volume of net oil imports peaked in 2005, the value of monthly net oil imports generally continued to rise through July 2008, when it exceeded $40 billion due to the sharp run-up in oil prices through the first half of that year. Net import values fell sharply in the second half of 2008, as volumes fell modestly and prices fell sharply. From early 2009 through early 2011, rising prices drove the value of net oil imports higher, even as import volumes remained flat. Since early 2011, a falling volume of crude oil imports as domestic production has risen sharply and the emergence of net product exports have driven the volume and value of net oil imports lower. These reductions occurred even though the annual average oil prices in 2012 and 2013 were at their highest historical levels.
While the United States has historically been a significant net importer of both crude oil and petroleum products, stagnating domestic product demand combined with very competitive refinery infrastructure and strong global product demand turned the United States into a significant net exporter of petroleum products starting in 2011.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau: Foreign Trade Division
By value, crude oil imports were down 16% year-over-year in 2013. EIA's February Short-Term Energy Outlook forecasts continued rapid growth in domestic crude oil production in both 2014 and 2015, which should further reduce the volume of net crude oil imports over this period. Given the continued flatness in domestic demand and continued access of U.S. refiners to domestic crude streams and relatively low-cost natural gas to fuel their refineries, the country is likely to maintain its current role as a major net exporter of distillate fuels and other products to external markets, especially those in the Atlantic Basin. The upper limits to near-term product export growth are likely to be defined by refinery capacity, while the lower limits to product exports likely depend on potential weakness in foreign product demand, perhaps responding to weaker-than-expected economic conditions.
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Monthly Energy Review, Short-Term Energy Outlook February issue, and Petroleum Navigator
Note: Data for 2013-15 are from the Short-Term Energy Outlook February issue.
Domestic production of crude oil, including lease condensate, is projected to increase sharply in the AEO2014 Reference case, with annual growth averaging 0.8 million barrels per day through 2016, before leveling off and declining slowly after 2020. Net imports are also reduced by the continuing decline in U.S. oil use as fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks become steadily more stringent through 2025. The combination of higher oil production and lower oil consumption in the United States has already reduced net imports as a share of U.S. liquid fuels use from 60% in 2005 to 40% in 2012, with a further decline of the net import share to 27% in 2015 and 26% in 2020 projected in the AEO2014 Reference case. Net import volumes of crude oil and liquid fuels on a volume basis are projected to decline by 55% between 2012 and 2020.

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Web Design'.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Web Design'.
We all make mistakes running our websites. However, the nature of those mistakes varies depending on the size of your company. As your organization grows, the mistakes change. This post addresses common mistakes among large organizations. Most of the clients I work with are large organizations: universities, large charities, public sector institutions and large companies. Over the last 7 years, I have noticed certain recurring misconceptions among these organizations. This post aims to dispel these illusions and encourage people to face the harsh reality.
The problem is that if you are reading this post, you are probably already aware of these things. But hopefully this article will be helpful to you as you convince others within your organization. In any case, here are our 10 harsh truths about websites of large organizations.Read more...
It can be an interesting experience looking around at websites in particular industries to identify trends and see how they differ from those in other industries. In this article, we'll take a look at the websites of major motion pictures to see what types of websites are being created. Movies are a big part of the entertainment industry, and in recent years their websites have become increasingly critical to their overall success.
The purpose of movie websites. Before getting into the details of specific movie websites and discussing current trends, it's important first to consider the primary purpose of movie websites. Obviously, in order for a movie to be financially successful, it needs to do well at the box office, and today many moviegoers use the Internet to find movies to see and to buy tickets. Having things like trailers and other video clips helps to engage visitors and encourages them to find show times and buy tickets online.
Movies are made to entertain audiences, and movie websites are much the same. In order to get visitors' attention and encourage them to see the movie, a website needs to give them what they are looking for and provide some entertainment at the same time. Today's movie websites make it easy to take a couple minutes and watch a few trailers before deciding which movie to see.Read more...
Usability is an essential goal of any website, and usable navigation is something every website needs. It determines where users are led and how they interact with the website. Without usable navigation, content becomes all but useless. Menus need to be simple enough for the user to understand, but also contain the elements necessary to guide the user through the website — with some creativity and good design thrown in.
Below we present over 50 excellent navigation menus — we feature CSS-based design solutions, CSS+JavaScript-based menus and Flash-designs. However, they all have something in common: they are user-friendly yet creative and perfectly fit to the style of their respective websites.
Please also consider our previous articles:
The design of 404 error pages is often overlooked and underestimated. However, designed carefully, these pages can make a random visitor stay on your website, take a look around and eventually find the information he or she was looking for in the first place. Effective 404 error pages communicate why a particular page couldn't be displayed and what users can do next. A search box and list of useful resources (possibly related to the missing page) could be helpful in this case.
We've already covered the design of 404 error pages in previous posts. In them, we also covered some interesting and useful ideas for designing 404 pages. Now, it's time for a fresh dose of 404-error inspiration. This article presents 50 more examples of beautiful and original 404 error designs. Some of them are beautiful but not user-friendly, others are user-friendly but not really beautiful. Please use these examples as a source of inspiration; hopefully, this showcase has something for everybody.
Also note that some examples used in this post were suggested by our Twitter followers: please follow us on Twitter to vote on which article gets published next, discuss new ideas, get fresh updates and suggest great ideas for our next posts. Thank you.Read more...
Color is a major consideration in any Web design. Whether for an individual, small company, or major corporation, color scheme is one of the most significant factors in the overall look and appearance of a website. In some cases, the designer may have the sole discretion in making color choices, but many times a color scheme has already been established and needs to be followed. In situations where a company already has a strong brand, color usage for the website can either build or take away from this.
In this article, we'll take a look at the impact that website color schemes have on the overall branding of a company, and we'll also look at plenty of examples. We won't be going into the subjects of color choices for branding or the psychology of colors, but rather we'll look at established companies to see if the colors in their website branding are consistent with the rest of their marketing.Read more...
Typography is elegant when it is attractive and communicates the designer's ideas. When chosen wisely and used carefully, it can be very effective in supporting the overall design. Designers are always exploring different techniques with type: some use images or sIFR to produce very beautiful typography, while others prefer CSS alone to get the typography just right.
Today, we will look at 50 most useful typographic tools, techniques and resources for creating effective and expressive designs. We will also look at some hands-on typography tools that help designers and developers learn how to style their Web content, test it interactively and see the changes instantly. These tools are great for experimenting with different font types for your website.
Please feel free to suggest further tools and resources in the comments to this post. And if you like this post please feel free to subscribe to our RSS-feed and follow us on Twitter.

Last week we presented 10 Web Design Trends For 2009, our review of the most promising developments and techniques in web design that may become big in 2009. In the first part we covered embossing letters ("letterpress"), rich user interfaces, PNG transparency, big typography, carousels and media blocks.
This post is the second part of our review. It presents design trends for 2009 in terms of layouts, visual approaches and design elements. Please notice that this post showcases trends and developments that were extensively covered in our previous articles (e.g. handwriting, retro and vintage etc.) and therefore weren't covered in this post (they are all linked in the overview, so feel free to explore these single posts as well). Did you miss any recent development in this overview? Let us know in the comments!
You may want to take a look at the following related posts:
We Web designers are a fickle lot. We love to experiment with things. We love to observe how people interact with our work. And we love to try out unusual design approaches that might possibly go mainstream and become a classic approach. As a result, new design approaches come up, and as more and more designers notice them and make use of them, new trends emerge.
Over the last months, we've analyzed numerous Web designs, observing emerging trends and weighing the merits of numerous design decisions and coding solutions. In this post, we present Web design trends for 2009: recent developments, new design elements and new graphic approaches. We also discuss situations in which these trends can be used and present some beautiful examples. Did you miss any recent development in this overview? Let us know in the comments!Read more...

|my first VL / CD4 test
Apr 18, 2013
Hi I have recently been diagnosed and got the result of my first viral load and cd4 tests today. I got infected about 9 months ago and wonder how you would judge the results. My doctor says it's good and nothing to worry about at the moment. But to me the viral load looks so high. What are the possibilities for my viral load to come close to undetectable without starting on meds. Also what does the high CD8 mean?
VL 100,000 copies/ml
| Response from Dr. Young
Hello and thanks for posting.
While your CD4 count remains in the normal range, the elevated CD8 count is entirely common among people living with HIV. CD8s are the so-called suppressor T cells- when elevated are indicative of a relative increase in immune suppression.
Your viral load is indeed high, and predicts more rapid (than average) decline in CD4s, immune function and risk of disease progression. There's little that will bring your viral load to undetectable levels short of treating the HIV- no vitamins, supplements or other life style modifications do this.
Here in the US, treatment guidelines recommend antiretroviral treatment for all individuals living with HIV, irrespective of CD4 count (and especially for those with high viral loads).
I hope that helps, BY

The house that my father built, ( Once upon a time )06:12
9,762 Plays / 68 Likes / 1 Comment
Multimedia installation consisting of a painting 620 x 400 cm, several ready-mades, photograph, and an animation film projected on a 700 x 900 cm. surface. Mathaf - Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha, Qatar Told, Untold, Retold Dec. 30, 2010 – May 28, 2011, curated by: Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath. Artist's statement: Once upon a time... In the family house, and in my father's room in particular, which was his guest room and daily sitting area, my feet shook as I entered the room after long years of expatriation. His clothes, which were hanging there in a corner, were the first things I laid eyes on. That was a very intense and emotional moment to me. This is then what is left of my father?? His kufiyeh "head cover", agal "headband", praying beads, and traditional clothing. They were all deeply rooted in his identity and sentiment. They, with his big old collection of coffee pots made part of his dignity, respect and sense of belonging. They were hanging there, high, tidy and clean, as always, ready to be worn, exactly as he used to hang them himself. They were leveled upright on the wall surrounded by lost ghosts and floating shadows, restless and anxious, pacing the room, swaying on the beat of his strong, deep voice which filled the room, together with the smell of fresh roasted coffee and the tunes of old sad Mawaweels. This is then what is left of my father! A few Objects, Hundreds of memories, A grieving love which still fills my mother's eyes, And many unfinished tales. A moment of confusion. A world disappeared and a new one aroused, a more beautiful charming world. Here in this room I used to sit next to him, sometimes on his lap or on my mother's were I felt warm and happy switching between the two. I used to put my arms around his neck or dangle my legs over his broad shoulders, loudly laugh and sing. Here I used to play, run, dance draw and dream, sheltered by their presence and love. Oh Lord, where do memories come from? Where do they go? Where do they disappear and in which cupboard are they set? How do they suddenly return, so strong and so intense, which makes the whole world vanish, and then they fade as an old tale which once was. A tale where boundaries get lost and dissolve in an unlimited world of tales. I shiver as I now see this before my eyes. A shiver of consciousness. Imagine that your body is stretched up, getting taller and higher; you slightly bend to see what's below you. You'll see yourself among the crowd, anxiously moving within masses of people, things, memories and emotions. For a while, you'll lose your balance as you realize that you are not but a little story or a lost tale in a universe of countless, endless tales. Then you know that you are both the story and the storyteller. Wherever we go, however we change or grow old, "Once upon a time…" would always be the words we carry within, long for and cherish. These words pull us towards memories and times, things and places, images and people that cannot be separated from us. "Once upon a time" is another version of ourselves from within. 'Once upon a time" is me as I was born. It is me as a child. It is me a second ago, and will also be me as I die. "Once upon a time" is our childhood, our school, our friends, family, dreams, needs and desires…. it is all our lives as we bear and are borne. Sadik Kwaish Alfraji NL 2010+ More details

This video is for "Weekend Challenge: One to One Hundred", This is an intimate and personal look at my father. After more than 17 years of independence I have had to come back to his home. I am far from being what is called a family man but the deep economic crisis that Spain is suffering has led me to this situation. Time has changed us, neither I am a child anymore nor he is a strong man. The coexistence was embarrassing and conflicting at the beginning but our relationship has evolved to mutual.

Hello ladies... I hope everyone is enjoying the 80* weather in the middle of Winter ;)
I'm a big teddy bear... with a big heat! I try to live by the golden rule, never returning evil for evil. Learning to stop and smell the roses from time to time.

I'm a God fearing man who attends church twice a week and would like to find a woman who shares the same interests. May you follow your heart through the path of life which God has laid before you. God bless~ Jason

Protecting the iPod's Dock Connector

We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I carry my iPod in my pocket most of the time, and I'm worried about pocket lint degrading the iPod's Dock Connector. I'm not much interested in a big bulky case that protects everything, but does anyone sell a simple cap or plug to protect the port itself? I've been searching high and low, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
- Andrew
A: There's only one such company that we know of. RadTech sells $6 plugs they call Portectorz. In our review of the product, we mentioned we'd be hesitant to pay $6 plus $5 shipping for such a small piece of rubber, but you're right - if you'd rather not use a fully-protective case, this may be a perfectly valid option.

Jason Vieaux's mother was a school librarian who bought him his first classical guitar for $50 when he was a young boy. Fast forward several decades later and Mr. Vieaux is now a Grammy-winning musician who tours internationally, performing to eager audiences at almost every major classical guitar festival in the world. Vieaux is also no stranger to Philly: He's Curtis faculty, and he's performed numerous concerts here. He'll be returning to World Cafe Live on May 7th to perform with the Al-Bustan Takht Ensemble, part of the LiveConnections concert series which aims to pair unlikely artists for interesting music making. We caught up with Vieaux to discuss his upcoming show and why Philly is such a hotbed for classical music. Read more »
Some of life's questions are simply too great to ever be answered. Why are we here? What is the meaning of life? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? But this week, two different groups are tackling the age old question: does beer or wine pair better with food?
World Cafe Live has just announced an event that fits in perfectly with this week's Meat Week theme. Back in 2013, World Cafe Live hosted Where's The Beef? A Vegan Beer Dinner. On Monday, March 30th, they're hosting the counterpart, Here's the Beef, an 8-course tasting menu of braised meats, dry rubs and slow roasted cuts of beer. All of that meat will be paired with 8 beers, all of which are at least 8% alcohol by volume.
Tickets are $50 per person and include all the meat and beer.

A Kaplan-Meier curve was created using historical control data obtained from morbidly obese patients (BMI > 50) awaiting bariatric surgery. Subjects did not receive any diet intervention. Participants all received the same test for negative alliesthesia described in the methods section. Both groups showed a similar satiety kinetic for sweet stimulus (Log-rank chi-square = 0.045, df = 1, p = 0.8311, NS). The median time to achieve satiety in both groups were comparable (Initial session 25.5 min vs. 3 month 30 min). These results suggest the test is reproducible in a clinical setting for patients.

Attempting to understand the most important chemical reaction on the planet: Photosynthesis December 17, 2013 at 3:42 pm
While there are hopes of one day channeling photosynthetic outputs directly to our needs, many key details of the process, including the actual efficiency, are still incompletely known. Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have just received a big grant to map the molecular events that take place inside one the most complex biological machines known to man — a group of electron-shuffling proteins known as photosystem II.
1-megawatt cold fusion power plant now available – yours for just $1.5 million November 26, 2013 at 12:31 pm
Believe it or not, the first cold fusion power plant is now available to pre-order. The E-Cat 1MW Plant, which comes in a standard shipping container, can produce one megawatt of thermal energy, using low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) — a process, often known as cold fusion, that fuses nickel and hydrogen into copper, producing energy 100,000 times more efficiently than combustion. It sounds like E-Cat is now taking orders for delivery in early 2014, priced fairly reasonably at $1.5 million. Has cold fusion — the answer to all our energy needs — finally made its way to market?

For a while now, battery tech has been one of the biggest bottlenecks through which future devices and impressive features must squeeze before they arrive. Progress on that front, as you may have noticed by your phone dying during your commute every night, has been slow. Instead of moving forward, though, battery advances can move sideways. Wireless charging is at the forefront of these sideways advances, and a new system in which an e-ink display can be wirelessly charged via NFC proves just that.
New flexible micro-supercapacitor paves way for tiny electronics August 8, 2013 at 10:30 am
Before the age of the smartphone, mobile phone manufacturers were locked in an arms race to see who could create a smaller, but still usable device. Smartphones came along, and now the arms race is more or less focused on how big a screen can be while still being accepted by consumers. During this arms race, the way to keep phones from being unwieldy is to make them thin. Researchers have created a new supercapacitor so small that if it were used in smartphones, could make the devices even thinner and lighter than they are now.

Scientists create urine-powered fuel cell that can recharge a mobile phone July 17, 2013 at 7:08 am
Years after the crazy idea was first mooted, researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory in the UK have finally created what he calls the "world's first" urine-powered fuel cell. The fuel cell, powered by your own urine or someone else's, currently generates enough power to enable texting, web browsing, or a brief phone call (or, presumably, if you've drunk a lot of water, a not-so-brief call).
Space invasion: Solar storms pose critical threat to US infrastructure July 15, 2013 at 11:34 am
A new report on vulnerabilities in the US power grid sheds stark light on our ability to deal with certain kinds of threats. A coronal mass ejection of an equivalent magnitude to the one that hit the Earth in 1859 would cripple our infrastructure today, with some areas losing power for up to two years.

Did you know that lost sales productivity and wasted marketing budget costs companies at least $1 trillion a year?
Growth hacking is more than a buzzword. It's an innovative, sensitive approach to increasing revenue in the startup world. However, like many trendy terms, it's often misunderstood. What is the act of growth-hacking, and what does it entail?
Social media is a business development professional's dream. It's never been easier in history to forge connections with exactly the right people. Some sales and marketing pros would argue that social media will never replace the importance of face-to-face meetings and conference calls. For B2B organizations, they're almost certainly right.
Today's marketing leadership appears quite a bit different than it might have a decade ago. Marketers today are required to be more agile, analytical, and customer focused than ever before. According to recent study by Heidrick & Struggles, CMO candidates hired in the past 18 months are far more likely to:
Marketers have long recognized the power of blogging to engage potential customers, and are familiar with the need to post new content on a reliable schedule. Yet it is also critical to be sure you're posting content that is right for your audience, making your readers want to engage—to share on social media and discuss with friends and colleagues—and opening the door to becoming leads in the sales pipeline.
Exceptionally great marketing motivates people. The world's best marketers are experts in tools and techniques, but they're also well-versed in behavioral psychology. They understand what makes people act, and how to integrate it in campaigns, email marketing, content, and even graphic design.
If you think the state of marketing, including product recommendation engines and concepts like snapchat social media marketing campaigns is bizarre, wait until you hear about some of the technologies featured at Mobile World Congress (MWC 2015) last week, as well as recent technology conferences like SXSW. Held in Barcelona, Mobile World is among the world's largest technology gatherings, and drew a reported crowd of 70,000 in 2015. And let me tell you, some of the concepts that premiered this year are nothing short of shocking.

A cooking arrangement including a timer function which enables cooking operation of the apparatus to be automatically continued without carrying out a restarting operation even if the timer operation is cancelled while cooking is being carried out under timer control.
1. A cooking apparatus comprising:
setting position means, including a variable resistor, for establishing a variable desired value based on a setting position thereof and producing an variable output signal corresponding to said desired valve when said setting position is within a predetermined range, and producing an output signal representing no desired valve when said setting position is outside said predetermined range;
timer means for counting until achieving a value indicated by said output signal of said setting position means;
means for detecting whether said timer means is operative based on said output of said setting position means;
means for cooking until said timer means counts to said desired value; and
means for continuing said cooking indefinitely if said timer means is rendered inoperative by said output signal representing no desired value, before reaching said desired value.
2. The cooking apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said output signal is an analog signal.
3. The cooking apparatus according to claim 2 further including means for converting said output signal from an analog signal to a digital signal.
4. The cooking apparatus according to claim 3 further including means for entering a desired value data based on said variable output-signal into said timer means.
5. The cooking apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said timer means includes means for downcounting said desired value data.
6. The cooking apparatus according to claim 5, further including means for sensing the presence of an object to be heated, said timer means commencing downcounting when said sensing means senses the presence of the object.
7. The cooking apparatus according to claim 6, further including means for displaying said desired value data and remaining value data with progress of downcounting.
The present invention relates in general to cooking apparatus. More specifically, the invention relates to an inductive heat cooking apparatus, which produces a high-frequency magnetic field from a heating coil and carries out cooking by self-heating of a saucepan caused by the high-frequency magnetic field.
Generally, inductive heat cooking apparatuses include a heating coil for generating a high-frequency magnetic field. This high-frequency magnetic field generates an eddy current flowing in a saucepan, which heats the saucepan. Thus, inductive heat cooking is carried out by self-heating due to eddy current losses in the saucepan.
Although inductive heat cooking apparatuses are adapted for prolonged cooking such as needed to cook stew or to fry or to keep food warm, the user may want to be away from the apparatus during prolonged periods of cooking. When the user must be away, the most safe procedure is to cut off power to the apparatus. However, this prevents cooking from progressing. Nonetheless, it is dangerous to continue cooking for a long period during which the user is absent.
In view of the above-described circumstances, it has been considered to equip an inductive heat cooking apparatus with a timer device. When leaving the apparatus during cooking, the user may set an appropriate period of time on the timer device, during which cooking can proceed in his absence. It would not be necessary to cut off power to the apparatus every time the user left the apparatus. When the returns, following a timer controlled cooking, he can cancels timer operation, whereupon the cooking is temporarily stopped. The user must then take some action to re-start the cooking process.
It has also been considered to provide a switch which permits the user to set a "use" or "non-use" of the timer. When the switch is set to a "use" status, the cooking is stopped by the timer operation after the set time has elapsed. When the set of the switch is cancelled, i.e. changed to the "non-use" status, while the timer is in use, the timer restriction is released and the cooking apparatus is returned to continuous cooking. In other words, it may be set to a continuous cooking mode simply by canceling the set of the switch. Using such an arrangement, the user would no longer need to carry out some procedure to re-start cooking. However, when the user sets the timer, it would still be necessary to carry out at least two operations. The user would have to set the timer and operate the change over switch. Such a procedure might be confusing for some users, and the controls would be more complicated than would be desireable.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a timer cooking method and an improved inductive heat cooking apparatus equipped with a timer device wherein, when a user releases timer restriction i.e. cancels operation of the timer, the cooking operation is not automatically stopped. Rather, it continues uninterrupted and without the need to operate any other switches or controls, thus avoiding the complicated operation of the timer, and reducing the manufacture cost of the apparatus.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will become more apparent and more readily appreciated from the following detailed description of the presently preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention, read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective front view of the preferred embodiment of a cooking apparatus according to this invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the control circuit of the cooking apparatus according to the present invention, and
FIG. 3 is a flow chart detailing timer operation and explaining the method of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective front view of an inductive heat cooking apparatus. A top plate, made of reinforced glass, is mounted on an inductive heat cooking apparatus body 3. A timer display 5, cooking mode display 7, power level display 9 and power source lamp 11 are provided on one side part of the upper surface of apparatus body 3. Timer display 5 includes a two figure segment-type display 13 indicating the set time and a flashing indicator 14. Flashing indicator 14 includes a light-emitting diode which flashes every second to indicate the execution of the timer operation. Cooking mode display 7 includes three light-emitting diodes 7a, 7b and 7c arranged in a line. An indication by first light-emitting diode 7a denotes a "HEATING" mode, an indication by second diode 7b denotes a "FRYING" mode and an indication by third diode 7c indicates a "KEEP WARM" mode.
Power level display 9 includes a power control display 15 and temperature control display 17 arranged in parallel. Control display 15 and 17 each include three light-emitting diodes. In power control display 15 (upper line), a first light-emitting diode 15a indicates "LOW" level, a second light-emitting diode 15b indicates "MEDIUM" level and a third light-emitting diode 15c indicates "HIGH" level. In temperature control display 17 (lower line), a first light-emitting diode 17a indicates "LOW" level, a second light-emitting diode 17b indicates "MEDIUM" level, and a third light-emitting diode 17c indicates "HIGH" level.
A timer set knob 19, cooking mode select knob 21 and power level set knob 23 are slidably provided at a side surface of body 3 corresponding to timer display 5, cooking mode display 7 and power level display 9, respectively. The left most position of timer set knob 19 in FIG. 1 corresponds to the zero graduation (i.e. zero-set position), and the rightmost position in the Figure corresponds to the maximum time setting. The leftmost position of cooking mode select knob 21 in FIG. 1 corresponds to the "HEATING" mode, the middle position of cooking mode select knob 21 as shown in the Figure corresponds to the "FRYING" mode and the rightmost position corresponds to the "KEEP WARM" mode. The leftmost position of power level set knob 23 as shown in FIG. 1 corresponds to an "OFF" position and the rightmost position corresponds to the "HIGH" level.
Referring to FIG. 2, the control circuit of the cooking apparatus will be described hereinafter. A rectifier circuit 31, including four diodes arranged in a conventional manner, is connected to an A.C. power source 33 through a power switch 35. A smoothing capacitor 37 is connected to the output terminals of rectifier circuit 31. A capacitor 39 is connected to both ends of capacitor 37 through a heating coil 41 which is provided at the rear surface of top plate 1 of apparatus body 3 in such a way that it is positioned oppositely apart from top plate 1. A resonant circuit 43 includes capacitor 39 and heat coil 41. The collector of a power transistor 45 (NPN Type) is connected to one of the terminals of capacitor 39, and the emitter thereof is connected to another terminal of capacitor 39. The base of power transistor 45 is connected to a power drive circuit 47. An inverter circuit 49, which activates resonant circuit 43, is composed of rectifier circuit 31, capacitor 39 and transistor 45. The input of power drive circuit 47 is connected to the output of an oscillator control circuit 51. A current transformer 53 is provided in the alternating current line between rectifier circuit 31 and A.C. power source 33. The output of current transformer 53 is connected to the input of oscillator control circuit 51.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, a micro computer 55, including CPU 55a ROM 55b, RAM 55c and A/D (analogue/digital) converter, 55d, is provided for controlling each display and oscillator control circuit 51. A timer variable resistor 19a, cooking mode select switch 21a, power level variable resistor 23a and oscillator control circuit 51 are connected to micro computer 55. Timer display 5, cooking mode display 7 and level display 9 are also connected to micro computer 55. Micro computer 55 provides digital signals 57 to timer display 5, cooking mode display 7, power level display 9 and cooking mode select switch 21. The resistance value of above-described timer variable resistor 19a changes in response to the sliding timer set knob 19. The resistance value of power level variable resistor 23a changes in response to the sliding of power level set knob 23. Cooking mode select knob 21 has a plurality of contacts, e.g. three contacts in this embodiment. These contacts are selectively switched on and off according to the position of cooking select knob 21. Oscillator control circuit 51 drives transistor 45 on and off through power drive circuit 47 on the basis of the commands from micro computer 55 and the output of current transformer 53.
The operation of the above-described construction of the control circuit will be described below. Power switch 35 is turned on, and a saucepan (not shown) is set at the prescribed position, i.e. the position corresponding to heating coil 41, of top plate 1. A desired cooking mode is then selected with cooking mode select knob 21. If the "HEATING" mode is selected, micro computer 55 sends a signal to cooking mode display 7 to turn on first light-emitting diode 7a indicating "HEATING" mode and enables power control display 15 of power level display 9 to be operated. If the "FRYING" mode or "KEEP WARM" mode are selected, micro computer 55 turns on second light-emitting diode 70 indicating "FRYING" mode or third light-emitting diode 7c indicating "KEEP WARM" mode, and enables temperature control display 17 to be operated.
When cooking preparations are completed, the appropriate light-emitting diode of power control display 15 or temperature control display 17 is enabled and transistor 45 is switched on and off by power drive circuit 47 at a prescribed frequency, when power level set knob 23 is slid from the off position, as shown in FIG. 1, toward decrease direction of the resistance of power level variable resistor 23a. As transistor 45 is switched on and off and resonant circuit 43 is energized thereby, a high frequency current, produced by resonant circuit 43, flows through heating coil, and then a high frequency magnetic field generated by heating coil 41 is fed to the saucepan on top plate 1. At this point, the input-current flowing through the alternating current line is detected by current transformer 53, so that the presence, the material and the size of the saucepan are determined by micro computer 55 through oscillator control circuit 53 on the bases of signals such as the output of current transformer 53, the terminal voltage of resonating capacitor 39 and so forth. If a saucepan, whose material is suitable for this cooking apparatus, is located on the prescribed position of top plate 1 and a specific cooking mode of the power control is selected, the inverter circuit 49 is controlled by oscillator control circuit 51 through power drive circuit 47 so as to produce the heat output corresponding to the set position of power level set knob 23, i.e. the set resistance value of power level set knob 23. If a specific cooking mode of the temperature control is selected, micro computer 55 detects the difference between the temperature set by power level set knob 23 and the temperature of the saucepan sensed by a temperature sensor (not shown), and controls power drive circuit 47 through oscillator control circuit 51 so as to produce the heat output which causes the temperature difference to decrease. Thus, the regular cooking operations are carried out in the same manner as above-described operations.
The timer operation will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 3. Micro computer 55 reads the A/D converted output of timer variable resistor 19a corresponding to the position of timer set knob 19 and stores it into RAM before or during the cooking. Thus, micro computer 55 decides whether the timer operation is commanded or not according to the result of the comparison between the output data stored in RAM and the data being stored in ROM. For example, the "timer not-in-use" command is distinguished when timer set knob 19 is at the leftmost position (i.e. the output of timer variable resistor 19a is zero) on the one hand, and the "timer-in-use" command is distinguished when timer set knob 19 is slid to the right and away from the zero graduation (i.e. the output of timer variable resistor 19a is a specific value) on the other hand.
When the "timer-in-use" command is distinguished, micro-computer 55 calculates the setting time on the basis of the output data of timer variable resistor 13a stored in RAM, and causes it to be indicated on display 13. Then, if microcomputer 55 detects the presence of the saucepan through oscillator control circuit 51, the timer operation is commenced, and the downcount operation of a counter (not shown) in micro-computer 55 is carried out with the progress of the cooking.
When the downcount operation is completed, micro-computer 55 feeds a stop signal to oscillator control circuit 51 to stop turning transistor 45 on and off through power drive circuit 47.
During timer operation, if timer set knob 19 is slid more than a certain distance within the "timer-in-use" region, it is determined as an alteration of the setting time. A new setting time, the output of timer variable resistor 19a, based on the position of timer set knob 19 is read and converted into digital value and stored a RAM. Then, CPU causes the new setting time to be set in the counter and to be indicated on display 13.
As the alteration of the setting time may be determined only in such case that timer set knob is slid more than a certain distance, an unexpected alteration caused by, for example, an object knocking against timer set knob 13, is avoided. If timer set knob 13 is returned to the leftmost position, i.e. the zero graduation position, during the cooking, microcomputer 55 determines it as the "timer-not-in-use". When the "timer not-in-use" is discriminated, the timer operation is cancelled, and the cooking operation is continued irrespective of the setting time.
According to the above-described embodiment, the discrimination between "timer-in-use" and "timer-not-in-use" is made automatically in accordance with the position of timer set knob 13, no switch is required to enable or disable the timer control. Though timer set knob 13 is returned to the zero graduation position and the timer operation is cancelled, the cooking operation is continued without carrying out any operations.
In the above-described embodiment, the timer set knob is described as a sliding type, but the same implementation could be made with a rotary or other type of set knob.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and provides an improved inductive heat cooking apparatus which enables the apparatus itself to continue a cooking operation under timer control while the user goes away from the apparatus and may continue the cooking operation without carrying out any resetting operations, even if the timer operation is cancelled while the cooking operation has been carried out. Many changes and modifications in the above-described embodiment should be evident to one of ordinary skill in this art without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the claims should be construed to include such modifications.
