Abstract
An appliance including: a vessel having a chamber for containing flowable substance; a first sensor arrangement measuring a parameter indicative of the amount of flowable substance in the chamber; wherein, the appliance is configured to determine a target angular deviation from a reference axis required to pour a predetermined amount of flowable substance from the chamber
Claims24
An appliance including:
- a vessel having a chamber for containing flowable substance;
- a first sensor arrangement measuring a parameter indicative of the amount of flowable substance in the chamber;
- wherein,
- the appliance is configured to determine a target angular deviation from a reference axis required to pour a predetermined amount of flowable substance from the chamber.
The appliance according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the appliance is a gooseneck kettle.
The appliance according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the first sensor is a load cell.
The appliance of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the chamber has a cylindrical shape.
An appliance including:
- a vessel having a chamber for containing flowable substance, the vessel including a sensor arrangement for measuring a tilt angle α of the vessel with respect to a reference plane;
- a base for removably receiving the vessel, the base including a load cell for determining an initial amount of substance w(0) in the vessel received by the base;
- a control unit that is in electrical communication with the sensor arrangement and the load cell, the control unit being configured to determine a target tilt angle αT required to dispense a user selected amount of substance yr from the chamber based on the initial amount of substance w(0) and the vessel's physical dimensions.
