This study examined the ability of sensor lines (lines drawn from a control to the display it is linked with) to quicken response times and reduce errors on a conventional (square burner pattern) four burner stove to levels shown on a stove whose four burners were arranged in a staggered pattern such that each burner was directly in line with its control.
