COOKING APPLIANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240196489 titled 'COOKING APPLIANCE

The patent application describes a cooking appliance with a cavity, a door, an RF generator, an RF matcher, and a working coil.

• The cooking appliance includes a cavity within a housing.
• A door is connected to the housing to open and close the cavity.
• An RF generator produces RF power to generate electric fields in the cavity.
• An RF matcher matches the impedance of the RF power with the load of the cavity.
• A working coil emits magnetic fields towards the cavity.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in microwave ovens, industrial cooking equipment, and food processing machinery.

Problems Solved: - Efficient cooking with precise control over the electric and magnetic fields in the cavity. - Improved cooking performance and energy efficiency.

Benefits: - Faster cooking times. - Even heating and cooking of food. - Energy savings.

Commercial Applications: - Commercial kitchen equipment manufacturers can integrate this technology into their products to offer faster and more efficient cooking solutions.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the RF matcher optimize the cooking process? 2. What are the advantages of using magnetic fields in cooking appliances?

Original Abstract Submitted

a cooking appliance can include a housing including a cavity; a door connected to the housing and configured to open and close the cavity; a radio frequency (rf) generator configured to generate rf power for generating electric fields in the cavity; an rf matcher configured to match an impedance of the rf power with a load of the cavity. also, the cooking appliance can further include a working coil configured to emit magnetic fields toward the cavity.
