RELATED APPLICATION
This application is based on application No. Hei 10-072549 filed in Japan, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
A projection display system can display large projected images onto a projection surface in a small space or a small room without occupying a space over a table or a desk placed therein, and can easily be detachably mounted in place and carried around. A projector installation fixture is mounted on a side end of an upper surface panel of the table or the desk near the projection surface, and a front-projection projector is detachably installed in place by the projector installation fixture. The front-projection projector has an optical system including an aspherical mirror at a final stage thereof.
A system and method for controlling preparation of a plurality of food items on a cooking apparatus such as a grill. A food order consisting of the plurality of food items is input to a controller which retrieves cooking times for the items from a database. A primary fire item (PFI) is determined as the item with the longest cooking time. A display screen near the cook has a surface that is laid out in a grid pattern representing the cooking surface of the grill. An icon associated with the PFI is then displayed in a position corresponding to the item's intended position on the grill. Time delays are calculated for displaying subsequent icons so that, by placing the food items on the grill when each icon is displayed, the preparation of the food items is completed simultaneously.
