An aerosol-generating system that includes an inductive heating element in an aerosol-generating device that receives a replaceable aerosol-generating article. The replaceable aerosol-generating article includes an aerosol-generating substrate on a tape. A plurality of ferritic stainless-steel beads is disposed within the aerosol-generating substrate or within the tape.

A rotating magnet heater for metal products, such as aluminum strip, can include permanent magnet rotors arranged above and below a moving metal strip to induce moving or time varying magnetic fields through the metal strip. The changing magnetic fields can create currents (e.g., eddy currents) within the metal strip, thus heating the metal strip. A magnetic rotor set can include a pair of matched magnetic rotors on opposite sides of a metal strip that rotate at the same speed. Each magnetic rotor of a set can be positioned equidistance from the metal strip to avoid pulling the metal strip away from the passline. A downstream magnetic rotor set can be used in close proximity to an upstream magnetic rotor set to offset tension induced by the upstream magnetic rotor set.

An induction heating system configured to sequentially heat a plurality of filled and sealed food containers is provided. The system includes an induction heating coil defining a lumen having a longitudinal axis. The lumen is configured to receive the containers during heating, and the induction coil is configured to generate an alternating magnetic field causing resistive heating of the container. The system includes a container moving device configured to move containers into the induction heating coil lumen prior to heating, to move containers while within the induction heating coil lumen and to move containers out of the induction heating coil lumen after heating.

A food heating device includes a conveyor belt having a loop provided by a unitary, continuous sheet of metal or other suitable material.

Disclosed is a clothes treatment apparatus. The clothes treatment apparatus of the present disclosure may comprise: a cabinet; a drum rotatably provided in the cabinet; an induction heater which is disposed outside the drum and heats the drum; a magnet which is fixed to the drum and of which a residual magnetic flux density changes depending on temperature; and a coil fixed to the outside of the drum and disposed at a position overlapping the magnet in the longitudinal direction of the central axis of rotation of the drum.

An induction heater and materials processing apparatus and method using induction heating and rotary tumbling to heat or heat and dry materials such as drilling cuttings or waste material.

A cooking apparatus includes a non-ferrous cooking vessel configured to receive food. The cooking apparatus also includes a ferrous cooking vessel cover that is configured for placement over a top of the non-ferrous cooking vessel. The cooking apparatus also includes one or more induction heating elements suspended from the ferrous cooking vessel cover, and a radiation source. The radiation source is configured to deliver electromagnetic radiation to the ferrous cooking vessel cover and the one or more induction heating elements such that the ferrous cooking vessel cover and the one or more induction heating elements are heated.
