Abstract:
The present invention is a heater or heating device that uses microwave energy to generate heat quickly. The heater generates heat quickly by forcing air over microwave-heated oil or non-freeze liquid. As a non-limiting embodiment, the heater preferably includes most or all of the following components: an outer casing or housing, at least one air intake vent, a magnetron, a microwave emitter, a wave scatterer, at least one fluid holder, fluid, a capacitor, a transformer, a microwave containment casing, and a perforated microwave guard. As another non-limiting embodiment, the heater preferably includes most or all of following components: an outer casing or housing, a cooling fan, a magnetron, a microwave emitter, a wave scatterer, at least one non-freeze liquid holder, non-freeze liquid, a capacitor, a transformer, a microwave containment casing, a glass tube, a metal tube, a fan coil, a pump, a reservoir and expansion tank, and a fill plug.
Abstract:
A traveling bottle warmer bag system for keeping contents stored in containers warm for extended periods of time. The bag has three insulated layers of material that can be warmed in a microwave and stored yet retaining heat energy. The bag includes a drawstring in order to tightly close the bag after a bottle has been placed within the innermost layer to resist heat loss. When used, it eliminates the worry of a baby's bottle, tanning lotion, or other item becomes cold while traveling.
Abstract:
In a method for curing mineral wool that is mixed with binder through microwaves, generating additional heat through installation of microwave active substances is performed through curing the binder material.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating an apparatus using radiation annealing includes forming an annealable layer on a substrate. A radiation absorbing layer is also formed on the substrate, wherein the radiation absorbing layer heats up In response to radiation, and the radiation absorbing layer is formed adjacent to at least a portion of the annealable layer and non-adjacent to a portion of the apparatus. Radiation is directed toward the apparatus to heat up the radiation absorbing layer to anneal the at least a portion of the annealable layer that is adjacent to the radiation absorbing layer without annealing the portion of the apparatus that is non-adjacent to the radiation absorbing layer.
Abstract:
An embodiment is a molding chamber. The molding chamber comprises a mold-conforming chase, a substrate-base chase, a first radiation permissive component, and a microwave generator coupled to a first waveguide. The mold-conforming chase is over the substrate-base chase, and the mold-conforming chase is moveable in relation to the substrate-base chase. The first radiation permissive component is in one of the mold-conforming chase or the substrate-base chase. The microwave generator and the first waveguide are together operable to direct microwave radiation through the first radiation permissive component.
Abstract:
A system for melting a substance may be provided. The system may comprise at least one burner probe. The at least one burner probe may comprise an absorber and a first wave guide configured to transmit microwaves. The absorber may be configured to receive the microwaves from the first wave guide and to convert energy from the microwaves into heat. The system may further comprise a second wave guide and a rotating wave guide. The rotating wave guide may be positioned between the first wave guide and the second wave guide. The rotating wave guide may comprise a plurality of sections configured to rotate about a central axis. The rotating wave guide may be configured to rotate approximately 90 degrees. For example, the rotating wave guide may comprise three sections wherein each one of the three sections may be configured to rotate approximately 30 degrees.

This abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure and is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims, 37 C.F.R. 1.72(b).
Abstract:
A microwave heating construct includes a platform having a plurality of peripheral edges, a plurality of elevating panels for maintaining the platform in a raised position, and a layer of microwave energy interactive material overlying at least a portion of the platform. The platform includes a movable portion defined at least partially by a line of disruption extending substantially between a pair of adjacent edges of the platform. The movable portion of the platform is adapted to pivot along the line of disruption.
Abstract:
Carbon nanotube material dispersed in a dense material such as ceramic can produce heating when exposed to microwave radiation (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range of approximately 0.3 GHz to 300 GHz). By changing the loading of carbon nanotube material within a ceramic medium, one can affect the heating capability of the medium in dramatic and unpredicted fashion. This finding can be used to implement heating devices that heat via conduction or through radiation (e.g., infrared heating).
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides for methods of using adhesive compositions having improved microwave absorbing properties to bond substrates to form laminated structures. Specifically, the adhesive compositions utilized in the methods of the present disclosure absorb the microwave energy, thereby heating and melting into the substrate materials and bonding the substrates together, providing for an improved laminated structure.
