    Abstract: The present invention is generally a radio frequency apparatus for warming fluids such as IV fluids. In exemplary embodiments, a uniform warming of fluids is achieved by exposing a fluid-carrying tube to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. The RF energy may be supplied by an RF generator, which is coupled to a waveguide. The waveguide typically includes an inlet into which a fluid tube may be introduced. Inside the waveguide, a pathway may be formed wherein the fluid tube may rest in a predetermined position. In exemplary embodiments, the pathway guides the positioning of the tube along a transmission-line length of the waveguide, in a manner such that the tube gradually approaches an electromagnetic field inside the waveguide and exits at a second terminal end of the waveguide. Having absorbed energy supplied from the RF generator, the fluid inside the tube exits the apparatus warmed to a desired temperature.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a microwave treatment apparatus capable of suppressing the occurrence of sparking in a vessel. A microwave treatment apparatus 1 includes: a vessel having a pillar-shaped hollow portion configured to contain a liquid-phase content to be subjected to batch processing using microwaves, and an upper inner face whose height decreases along a direction from a central axis of the hollow portion to the periphery when the vessel is located such that a direction along the central axis is along a vertical direction; a microwave generator that generates microwaves; and a waveguide having a portion protruding from the upper inner face into the hollow portion, and configured to introduce microwaves generated by a microwave generator into the hollow portion.

    Abstract: An apparatus for and a method of microwave heating of rotatable articles includes at least one microwave radiation source, at least one wave guide and a heating chamber for receiving a rotatable article which comprises a material absorbing microwave radiation. Each microwave radiation source is connected to the heating chamber via at least one wave guide having at least one inlet in a lateral wall of the heating chamber. The heating chamber includes at least two covers in the form of an area defined by an inner and outer circumference. At least one cover is vertically slidable relative to the lateral wall of the heating chamber in combination with a stationary ring on the outer circumference of said area and at least one extendable portion on the inner circumference of said area. The method allows for direct and selective heating of the heated portion of the rotatable article, the non-heated portions of the rotatable article outside the heating space are not directly heated.

    Abstract: A door assembly for a microwave appliance includes a door frame that defines a door plenum and an air inlet. A monitor cradle is positioned toward a front of the door frame for receiving an image monitor. A duct is mounted to the door frame to divide the plenum into a low pressure region and a high pressure region, and an air handler is mounted to the duct to urge a flow of air from the air inlet, through the low pressure region, and into high pressure region. The flow of air cools electronics in the high pressure region before passing through an upper outlet that directs the flow of air along a surface of the image monitor and through a lower outlet that directs the flow of air along a transverse direction below the image monitor.
