20170142779 | Surface Covering For Melting Ice And Snow - A surface covering for melting ice or snow includes opposing panels of textile material that are joined together to define a mat structure having plurality of adjacent elongate chambers. A melting composition is disposed in the plurality of chambers and is activated to melt ice and snow contacting the mat. In another aspect, an apparatus for melting ice or snow includes a frame having a peripheral border that substantially circumscribes an interior area, and a mat removably received within the interior area of the frame. The mat includes a textile material that defines at least one elongate chamber. A melting composition is disposed in the at least one chamber. | 2017-05-18 |
20170142780 | Multi Cooker - An induction cooker has a temperature sensor mount that includes a reciprocating sensor holder and a flexible diaphragm. | 2017-05-18 |
20170142781 | IR TEMPERATURE SENSOR FOR INDUCTION HEATING OF FOOD ITEMS - A system and method for measuring the temperature of cookware to be induction-heated, using an infrared temperature sensor. An induction heater countertop may include a viewing window between the infrared temperature sensor and the cookware. Various algorithms may be applied to the sensed temperature, to adjust it to account for the presence of the viewing window, as well as variations in the cookware material. | 2017-05-18 |

20170142784 | DEVICE FOR HEATING LIQUIDS THAT ARE TO BE DELIVERED TO THE HUMAN BODY - A device for heating liquids to be supplied to the human body includes an electric heating, a conduit for passing liquid there through, which conduit includes a conduit body on which the electric heating acts for supplying heat, and a heating which acts by electromagnet radiation on the liquid in order to heat it, characterized in that the heating is a microwave heating which includes a microwave generator and a housing which is shielded against microwaves and which includes a cavity in which the microwave generator generate a microwave field, and that a section of the conduit is disposed to extend in the cavity. | 2017-05-18 |
20170142785 | MICROWAVE HEATING SYSTEM - A microwave heating system heats a hermetic container loaded with a heated object. The hermetic container is accommodated and given pressure by a microwave transparent and pressure resistant module, and is fixed onto a transporting device in a cyclic course. Microwave is generated by a microwave heating device to perform heating. The hermetic container is stirred while the transport device carries and moves the hermetic container. The temperature of the hermetic container or the heated object is measured by a temperature measuring module. The number of times to stir and repeatedly heat the heated object are appropriately determined in the design of the system. The output power and heating time of the microwave heating device and the transmission speed of the transporting device are adjustable during operations of the system, hence forming a closed-loop temperature control system. | 2017-05-18 |
