A split-type microwave oven comprises a first housing assembly, a second housing assembly, a microwave source module, a microwave shielding and choking member, and a detection device that is used for detecting whether a wave leakage occurs in a microwave heating resonant cavity. The second housing assembly is detachably disposed on the first housing assembly. The first housing assembly is provided with a first microwave shielding member, the second housing assembly is provided with a second microwave shielding member, and the first microwave shielding member is suitable for defining, together with the second microwave shielding member, the microwave heating resonant cavity. The microwave source module is installed on one of the first housing assembly and the second housing assembly. The microwave shielding and choking member is located outside the microwave heating resonant cavity. The split-type microwave oven occupies a small space and is convenient to use.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for heating a fluid or other material. The apparatuses may include a container (e.g., tube) in which a susceptor material is disposed. The susceptor material may convert microwave energy to heat, which may increase the temperature of a fluid or material in or adjacent the tube.

An electromagnetic heater for heating an irregularly shaped object, including: a cavity within which an object is to be placed; at least one feed which feeds UHF or microwave energy into the cavity; and a controller that controls one or more characteristics of the cavity or energy to assure that the UHF or microwave energy is deposited uniformly in the object within ±30% over at least 80% of the volume of the object.

A door assembly for a microwave reactor including a microwave waveguide to direct microwaves from an external microwave source to inside the microwave reactor, and having a waveguide interface for preventing backflow of a process gas into the waveguide; an inlet for entry of matter to be treated in the microwave reactor; a first seal at the periphery of the door assembly to sealably interface with a static front of the microwave reactor; a second seal inserted into a groove on an inside face of the door assembly to sealably interface with an opening of a microwave reactor drum, the groove having a width of about 12.9 inches (32.766 cm) divided by an integer, and the second seal configured to prevent solids and liquids from flowing outside of the reactor drum; and a ring choke to contact a choke arranged on the periphery of the opening of the reactor drum.

An air data probe (10) and associated method of method of measuring air data is disclosed. The air data probe includes a plurality of air pressure sensors, and a body (14) that encloses a hollow interior cavity (16), where the body (14) has a generally symmetrical airfoil profile. The body (14) includes a plurality of projections (20a-d) extending beyond the generally symmetrical airfoil profile, each of the plurality of projections (20a-d) including an pressure port (22a-d) at a distal end (24a-d) that is in communication with the hollow interior cavity. Each of the pressure ports (22a-d) receives a corresponding air pressure sensor (12a-d) that is configured to collect static and dynamic air pressure data.

A biodegradable microwave susceptor and constructs incorporating the susceptor are disclosed for heating a food item in a microwave oven. The biodegradable microwave susceptor includes a patterned susceptor layer of metal on a biodegradable substrate. Selected areas of the susceptor layer may be demetallized to remove susceptor material. The susceptor may be incorporated into a construct for containing or supporting a food item to be heated.

A portable food preparation assembly for storing and subsequently cooking food items includes a lunchbox that has a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment is defined by a thermally insulating material to store food items and ice for cooling the food items. A microwave oven is integrated into the lunchbox for directing microwave energy into the second compartment to cook food items positioned in the second compartment.

The present disclosure provides a refrigeration device including a circuit having an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve orderly connected by a refrigerant flow path. The refrigeration device further includes a first sensor to sense ambient temperature, second sensor to sense evaporator inlet temperature, a microwave module disposed proximal to the evaporator to generate microwaves, and a controller coupled to the first sensor, the second sensor and the microwave module. The controller determines whether a difference in temperature value between the ambient temperature and the evaporator inlet temperature is equal to or greater than a first predetermined temperature value, and initiates operation of the microwave module to heat an inlet of the evaporator when the difference in temperature value between the ambient temperature and the evaporator inlet temperature is equal to or greater than the first predetermined temperature value.
