Title: Microwave intensification system for rapid, uniform processing of food items
Inventor: COOK EDWARD R
IPC: F24C15/00
Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: A microwave intensification system includes a base frame having a plurality of support members, a microwave transparent, central vessel, and at least one dielectric unit positioned within the central vessel. A cooking surface is formed by covering the dielectric unit with a protective covering. In operation, a food item is placed within a processing container and positioned on the cooking surface over the dielectric unit.      The processing container is sized such that an overlap exists between the container and the dielectric unit in order to balance the exposure of the food item to a microwave energy field. With this arrangement, the food item can rapidly undergo a cooking process in a manner wherein central and edge portions of the food item are exposed to a uniform cooking process thereby increasing the quality of the final product.

Title: A seismic measuring system including gps receivers
Inventor: FENTON PATRICK C
IPC: G01S19/44
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: A system for analyzing three-dimensional seismic data includes a plurality of digitizer units (7), each with a configuration of geophones (8), a data recording and control center (12), a base GPS receiver with an associated antenna (5) with a substantially unrestricted view of the sky and at the respective digitizer units (7) low-power slave GPS receivers (6) that acquire and track GPS satellite (9) signals using tracking assistance information provided by the base GPS receiver. The slave GPS receivers (6) use the tracking assistance information to acquire and track GPS satellite signals that may be relatively weak at the receivers, due to conditions at the site, such as foliage canopies (11) and so forth. The system processes range information provided by the slave GPS receivers (6) over an extended period of time. In this way, the precise positions of the respective slave GPS receivers (6), and thus, the digitizer units, can be calculated, even if the slave GPS  receivers (6) are able to observe and collect data from sets of two or more satellites (9) for only three or four relatively short time intervals at various sky positions during the extended period. The slave GPS receivers (6) then locally produce for the digitizer units (7) timing signals that are based on the GPS codes and synchronized across the system. If a given slave GPS  receiver (6) cannot, at a given time, track any GPS satellite signals, a nearby slave GPS receiver (6) supplies the timing information required for the geophone data gathering operations.
