The invention provides an unfreezing device, a refrigerator and an unfreezing control method of the refrigerator. The unfreezing device comprises a shell, a first electrode board, a second electrode board and a high-frequency power supply, the first electrode board is arranged at the top of the inner wall of the shell, the second electrode board is arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the shell, the first electrode board and the second electrode board are connected with two ends of the high-frequency power supply respectively, high-frequency alternating electric fields are generated between the first electrode board and the second electrode board when the high-frequency power supply operates, so that high-frequency electromagnetic waves are generated and acted onto unfrozen food, insulating materials are arranged between the first electrode board and the inner wall of the shell and the second electrode board and the inner wall of the shell and on the lower side of the first electrode board and the upper side of the second electrode board, and the unfrozen food is placed on the insulating materials of the upper side of the second electrode board. The unfreezing device is simple in structure, the high-frequency electromagnetic waves are rapidness and uniformity in unfreezing, and nutrient loss is low.

A resistance welding apparatus includes a welding gun having a first electrode tip serving as a first welding electrode, a second electrode tip serving as a second welding electrode, and a current branching electrode. The current branching electrode has an annular shape and is disposed in surrounding relation to the first electrode tip. The first electrode tip and the current branching electrode abut against a thinnest workpiece disposed on an outermost side of a stacked assembly that is resistance-welded by the resistance welding apparatus, and have opposite polarities to each other. When an electric current is passed from the first electrode tip to the second electrode tip and through the stacked assembly, a branched electric current flows from the first electrode tip to the current branching electrode.

The invention relates to an electrical heating system for at least one section of a fluid transport pipe, the pipe comprising a casing in which the fluid to be transported flows, the heating system comprising electric wires arranged around the casing and intended to be powered, via connection elements, by an electrical power supply comprising several phases, system in which the electric wires are arranged in at least one set of several groups each comprising several electric wires, each of the groups in said set being intended to be supplied by a distinct phase, the electrical heating system comprising connecting units to perform an electrical connection and linking together the electric wires of each of said groups.

A pavement repair system is provided utilizing Solid Phase Auto Regenerative Cohesion (SPARC) Homogenization by Liquid Asphalt Oligopolymerization (HALO) technologies. The SPARC-HALO system is suitable for use in repairing asphalt pavement, including pavement exhibiting a high degree of deterioration (as manifested in the presence of potholes, cracks, ruts, or the like) as well as pavement that has been subject to previous repair and may comprise a substantial amount of dirt and other debris (e.g., chipped road paint or other damaged or disturbed surfacing materials). The HALO system is suitable for rejuvenating aged asphalt, thereby improving properties of the paving material.

An electromagnetic heating applicator is disclosed. The applicator includes a first strand and a second strand, each of which has an insulated portion, a bare portion, and is made up of at least one wire. The first and second strands are braided, twisted, or both braided and twisted together such that the bare portion of each strand is adjacent to the insulated portion of the other strand. A system and method for heating a geological formation are also disclosed. The system includes an applicator in a bore that extends into a formation, an extraction bore connected to a pump and positioned under the first bore, and transmitting equipment connected to the applicator. The method includes the steps of providing the components of the system, connecting the applicator to RF power transmitting equipment, applying RF power to the applicator using the transmitting equipment, and pumping hydrocarbons out of the extraction bore.

A radio frequency (RF) laundry dryer includes, amongst other things, an RF generator, a drying surface and a Faraday cage enclosing the drying surface. The drying surface on which textiles are supported further includes an RF applicator having an anode and cathode coupled to the RF generator. At least a portion of the cathode substantially encompasses the anode to electrically shield the anode from the Faraday cage ensuring the formation of an e-field between the anode and cathode instead of the anode and the Faraday cage upon energizing the RF generator.

An RF welder is disclosed that has circuitry that automatically affects system impedance so that, throughout the welding or embossing cycle, a generator is capable of sending energy through die and fabric at a predetermined frequency and cabling is capable of dissipating a load that is less than a preselected amount.

An RF laundry dryer includes, amongst other things, an RF generator, an RF applicator having a perforated body supporting anode and cathode elements, a fan arranged relative to the perforated body to flow or draw air through the perforated body and an electromagnetic shield protecting the fan from the e-field. Both anode and cathode elements are operably coupled to the RF generator to generate an e-field between the anode and cathode upon the energizing of the RF generator.

An oven and a heating unit of the oven are provided. The oven includes a cavity, a heater, a food container, and an ohmic heater. A high temperature environment is formed in the cavity. The food container is mounted within the cavity to receive food therein. The ohmic heater is formed in the food container and allows power to be supplied to the food so that the food may be directly heated.
