摘要:
A system for direct injection of selected, narrow bandwidth thermal-infrared (IR) radiation or energy into articles for a wide range of processing purposes is provided. The irradiation wavelengths are selected according to the specific absorption band characteristics of the target entity to create the desired efficiency of thermal transfer. The applications of the invention may include heating, raising or maintaining the temperature of articles, or stimulating a target item in a range of different industrial, medical, consumer, or commercial circumstances. The system is especially applicable to operations that require or benefit from the ability to irradiate at specifically selected mid-infrared wavelengths or to pulse or inject the radiation. The system is particularly advantageous when functioning at higher speeds and in a non-contact environment with the target.

A way of using narrowband irradiation to de-ice or release ice from a surface is provided. The methodology can be applied to a range of different types of de-icing from windshield de-icing to aircraft wing de-icing to releasing ice from the ice tray of an ice making machine. While there are many different specific applications, the concept and methodologies taught remain similar across all of them.

摘要:
A method and/or system for forming a plastic bottle from a preform without the use of a mold or a complete mold are provided. The technique includes selectively injecting heat into the preform using narrowband irradiation devices emitting irradiation in a narrow wavelength band matching desired absorptive characteristics of selective portions of the preform according to a predetermined heat signature to achieve a three-dimensional heat profile in the preform. The heat profile corresponds to a desired shape of a finished bottle and facilitates self-limiting stretching of the selected portions of the preform to achieve the desired shape. Using the technique, air is selectively injected into the preform to form in free air the finished bottle having the desired shape.
摘要:
A technique is provided to model a heat penetration profile for various targets which are non-planar or three-dimensionally shaped targets for use in a heating system. The relative volume of material that is irradiated at various depths may have an impact on the absorbed heat profile through the target. For example, a hollow cylindrical product has substantially more material per micro-meter near the outside diameter than it does near the inside diameter. Accordingly, the thickness of the wall or the diameter of the hollow inside the cylinder, as well as the outer diameter of the cylinder, have a substantial impact on the ultimate heat profile through the wall.
