Appl. No.:

13/523294

Inventors:

Thomas Lingel - Fayetteville NY, US
Graeme Bunce - Chittenango NY, US

International Classification:

G10H 3/18

US Classification:

84726

Abstract:

Various improvements and configurations for magnetic musical instrument pickups. Many of the embodiments discussed herein include printed circuit board (pcb) coils, but other embodiments may involve conventional wire wound coils. In some embodiments, the coils (pcb and/or wire wound) are encased in rigid encasement material (see DEFINITIONS section) to reduce microphony and make a quieter pickup. Also, the use of pcb coils allows for many and various new coil shapes and/or configurations because the footprint and stacking of pcb traces are relatively easy to control and/or change. Also disclosed are electromagnetic field interference reduction techniques and integration of multiple coils directly into a single pcb substrate and/or scratchpate. Also disclosed is the use of Hallbach biasing magnet arrays in connection with wire wound and/or pcb coils.

Abstract:

A food processing machine for processing a food product includes a processing module having a housing with a sidewall, opposing end walls, and a chamber between the end walls and a conveyor extending through the end walls and the chamber and configured to convey the food product through the chamber. A microwave generating device is coupled to the sidewall and configured to generate microwave energy. A waveguide assembly is configured to receive the microwave energy, direct the microwave energy along a waveguide axis, and subsequently direct the microwave energy in a transverse direction that is transverse to the vertical direction through the sidewall and into the chamber such that the microwave energy heats the food products.
