Filed:

Aug 3, 2015

Appl. No.:

14/816649

Inventors:

Clint Hughes - Plano TX, US
Theodore Maltezos - Dallas TX, US
George Sadler - Hunt Valley MD, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/04
A61H 23/02
A61H 7/00
A61N 1/22

Abstract:

A TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) device and method using a micro current with a carrier signal and a square wave form combined with vibration and/or mechanical muscular manipulation for promoting the release and disbursement of lactic acid treating muscular soreness, cramping or degeneration. This method and nerve stimulation device is packaged to require no input from a user and a user must only apply the sticky electrode pad with the base unit attached on top to the correct part of the body and start the preprogrammed sequence of electrical currents, vibration and/or muscular manipulation. The method involves applying bursts of direct current at higher frequencies for shorter periods of time followed by lower frequency bursts of electrical current for longer periods of time combined with a small vibration motor and/or motorized nodes providing muscular manipulation to certain areas of the body.

A23L 3/04
H05B 6/12

Abstract:

Induction heating systems for metal food cans configured to deliver sufficient heat into the can to sterilize the food within the can are provided. The heating system includes an induction coil and a control system. The control system is configured to monitor and control heating of sealed food cans during induction heating and to control and/or confirm various aspects of can heating during induction heating.

International Classification:

A23L 3/00
A23L 3/10
A23L 3/005

Abstract:

A system is provided for heating batches of sealed, metal cans containing a food product. The system includes a pressure chamber, an induction coil, a can support, a sealing device, a power supply, an air pressure source, and a drive. The pressure chamber has an opening. The induction coil is supported within the pressure chamber. The can support is for engaging and rotating a plurality of sealed, metal cans, at least a portion of the can support being movable through the opening from a first position outside of the chamber to a second position within the chamber adjacent to the induction coil and being rotatably supported within the chamber. The sealing device seals the pressure chamber when the can support is within the chamber. The power supply is coupled to the induction coil to energize the coil to apply an alternating current to the coil to induce a current into the metal cans which heats the food product of the metal cans. The air pressure source is coupled to the pressure chamber to pressurize the chamber during energization of the induction coil. The drive is coupled to the can support which rotates the can support during energization of the induction coil.

Assignee:

Silgan Containers LLC - Woodland Hills CA

International Classification:

H05B 6/12

US Classification:

219621

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

H05B 6/06
H05B 6/12

US Classification:

219627

Abstract:

A temperature detection system for detecting temperature within a metallic can during heating is provided. The system includes an induction heating coil configured to generate an alternating magnetic field, and a hermetically sealed can positioned within the magnetic field generated by the induction coil. At least a portion of the sealed can is formed from a metallic material, and the sealed can includes a food product within the can. The magnetic field causes resistive heating of the metallic material of the sealed can. The system includes a temperature sensing element located within the sealed can configured to generate a signal indicative of the temperature of the food product during heating and a memory device communicably coupled to the temperature sensing element configured to store data related to the signal received from the temperature sensing element.
