Claim One:
1. Deep-freezing apparatus for foodstuffs comprising: a deep-freezing compartment, a sensor device adapted to detect a temperature inside the foodstuffs stored in said deep-freezing compartment, a processing device for signals generated by said sensor device, a display device for displaying information worked out and output by said processing device, a neural network adapted to receive the signals issued by said processing device for the signals from said temperature sensor device, and by a plurality of information pieces on a duration of successive time intervals, each one of which measures the time elapsing for going from a respective first temperature down to a respective second temperature, and is adapted to provide information relating to an estimated time (t r ) that is still needed for the temperature inside the foodstuff being deep-frozen to reach down to a pre-set, still lower temperature value (T c ), at which there corresponds the state transition phase of the same foodstuff, and in that said processing device is adapted to receive said time information (t r ) from said neural network and provide in response thereto an information representative to the predicted time (t n ) needed for a pre-determined temperature lying below said state transition temperature (T c ), and measurable by said sensor device, to be eventually reached.
