    摘要: A system and method for integrating inductive heating into packaging and other product vessels that allows for controlled heat distribution. The system and method provides for multidimensional heating of a packaged item on multiple sides at the same time using electromagnetic energy emitted from a single source. The inductively heated package may include a heating element having a plurality of conductive elements configured to implement a desired heating profile. The conductive elements may be arranged in layers to allow heating on different surfaces of a packaged item. Each layer of the heating element may be configured to distribute the available energy as needed for an ultimate cooking experience. The present invention provides a method of design where the sum of the available energy is distributed in accordance with the desired heating profile. The heating method enables boxes, vessels, wrappers, pouches, bags, and other containers

    摘要: An intelligent heating system and method for providing varied heating experiences to food product packages and their contents in connection with pick-up food service, delivery food service, or both. The intelligent heating system dynamically controls energy provided to food packages and their contents in order to provide different heating experiences. The system can use location information to heat the food just before pick-up or delivery to enhance the consumption experience. The system can also control temperature to reduce the amount of condensation that forms within the package.

    摘要: A method for distinguishing metal objects from a heating cup and a wireless charging device using the method are disclosed. The wireless charging device includes a housing, a power unit, a power transmitter, a current measuring unit, a Q factor measuring unit, a controller, and a temperature detector. The wireless charging device can distinguish metal objects from a heating cup by both current in the power transmitter and the Q factor of the power transmitter. If the heating cup is confirmed, a higher power will be provided to a metal heating layer of the heating cup to heat the liquid in the heating cup; otherwise, a lower power will be provided to charge general electronic devices having a power receiving element.

    摘要: A system is provided for heating food. The system includes a housing and a slot, where the slot extends in a direction from the top to the bottom. The system also includes heating elements adjacent the slot. A lever is provided along one of the sides of the housing. The lever is operatively connected to the heating elements and a movable platform within the slot. The system also includes an insert comprising two elements that are rotatable about a hinge from an open position to a closed position. The insert in the closed position defines a recess to hold food. A width of the insert in the closed position is based on a width of the slot. The pair of heating elements are configured to thermally couple with the two elements of the insert upon placement of the insert in the slot and actuation of the lever.

    摘要: A food heating apparatus includes a housing, a conveyor assembly, a first heating element, a second heating element, a control unit, and a power source. The housing comprises a base portion and a top portion. The base portion forms a first interior space in which the conveyor assembly is located. The top portion forms a second interior space in which the second heating element is located. The top portion further forms a tunnel. The tunnel comprises an entrance and an exit. The conveyor assembly comprises a belt, a motor, a driving pulley, and a driven pulley. The belt comprises an upper food-carrying run and a lower return run. The control unit comprises a control circuit that is configured to control a speed of the motor.

    摘要: An electric heater includes a substrate and a plane heating element disposed on one surface of the substrate. The plane heating element includes a first pattern portion including a start point and an end point, a second pattern portion that surrounds at least a portion of the first pattern portion and includes a start point and an end point, which are located at an innermost side of the second pattern portion, and a third pattern portion that surrounds at least a portion of the second pattern portion and includes a start point and the end point, which are located at an outermost side of the third pattern portion. The first pattern portion includes a plurality of first tracks that are space apart from each other and have an arc shape that is increasing in length from a center to an outermost side of the first pattern portion, the second pattern portion includes a plurality of second tracks spaced apart from each other and having an arc shape that is increasing in length from the innermost side to an outermost side of the second pattern portion, the third pattern portion includes a plurality of third tracks spaced apart from each other and having an arc shape that is increasing in length from an innermost side to the outermost side of the third portion, and a width of a third track is wider than a width of a first track.

    摘要: A disposable support pan has a sidewall with a top lip that support the lips of rectangular food trays above a support surface. A disposable suspension tray inside the support pan has a flange resting on a support pan shoulder so the bottoms of two pockets in the suspension tray are between the support surface and the bottom of the food trays. Water in each pocket reacts with a calcium-oxide packet in each pocket to boils a predetermined amount of water to generate steam that heats the food trays without having the packets contact the food trays. One or two tray supports on each side of the pan may extend from the shoulder to a top support flange extending outward around a periphery of the support pan. The suspension tray has corresponding recesses to mate with the tray supports to keep steam from entering the area below the suspension tray.

    摘要: A self-warming bottle assembly includes a bottle that may contain a fluid. The bottle has a chamber that is fluidly discrete from an interior of the bottle. A warming media is positioned within the chamber. Thus, the warming media selectively warms the fluid in the bottle. A sleeve is removably positioned around the bottle and the sleeve may be manipulated. The sleeve inhibits the warming media from warming the fluid.
