The invention relates to a method and a dispensing device for rapidly and efficiently heating/cooling a flowable food product whereby removable cassettes are provided for receiving a pouch containing food; the cassettes comprising pairs of opposed thermal conductive surfaces wherein the surfaces delimit together a limited spacing adapted to contact a pouch and means for applying heat to said at least pair of cassettes.

A method for heating a glow plug for a diesel engine to its desired temperature by supplying power to the glow plug in a controlled fashion. During a certain time interval after termination of a previous glow process, a mathematical model is used to determine the values for the supply of power to the glow plug, which includes the values of the actual thermal state of the glow plug, the time elapsed since the end of the previous glow process and the parameters of the diesel engine relevant for a glow process.

A helmet that protects a user's head from the transfer of force imparted on the outer shell of the helmet. An inner layer of the helmet uses a spacer fabric that diffuses any force received over a relatively large area so that such force is spread over a relatively large area of the user's head, thereby reducing the risk of traumatic brain injury. The helmet uses a thermal pack that helps keep the user either cold or hot as desired. The helmet uses an audio pack that is removably attached to the shell, such that the audio pack protects the hearing of the user from sudden high decibel sounds and also amplifies desirable sound while squelching undesirable noise.

A solar energy water heater includes a water pipe and a plurality of solar heat units transversely extended from the water pipe, wherein each solar heat unit includes a heat collecting tube is adapted for heating up the water within the heat collecting tube and a heat transferring tube disposed in the heat collecting tube to define a water conduit. The heat transferring tube has a water channel and an outer opening end extended towards to an outer closed end of the heat collecting tube to communicate the water channel with the water conduit of the heat collecting tube such that the water is guided to flow from the water inlet to each of the solar heat units to circularly flow between the water conduit and the water channel thereof so as to substantially heat up the water before flowing out at a water outlet of the water pipe.

An LED torch includes a hand-held housing, an LED illumination unit, an inhaler arrangement, and an inhaler control unit. The hand-held housing has an inhaler end, an opposed treatment end, and a treatment cavity. The electric power arrangement includes an electric power source, an electrical-powered control unit, and a heating arrangement provided at the treatment cavity. The LED illumination unit is operatively linked to the electric power source for generating illumination light. The inhaler arrangement includes a tubular inhaler unit retractably coupled at the hand-held housing and being moved between an operation position and a retracted position. The inhaler control unit includes a locker arm for locking up the inhaler unit in the retracted position, and a control button being actuated to disengage the locker arm with the inhaler unit so as to enable the inhaler unit to be moved from the retracted position to the operation position.

A sliding bearing structure for a shaft member includes: a shaft member; a bearing member rotates relative to the shaft member; an oil supply space to which lubrication is supplied between sliding surfaces of the shaft member and the bearing member; two annular grooves formed in a circumferential direction in an inner peripheral surface of the bearing member; and two annular seal members formed as separate pieces from the shaft member and the bearing member, and arranged in the annular grooves between the shaft member and the bearing member. Each annular seal member is formed in plural, and is made of material having a thermal expansion coefficient such that an inside diameter of the annular seal member is smaller than an inside diameter of the bearing member at a low temperature, and is the same as or larger than the inside diameter of the bearing member at a high temperature.

A device for preparation of a liquid such as milk with integrated rinsing system includes at least one reservoir for storing of the liquid, disposed in a cooling unit, a pump and a line system, which system includes a liquid suction line, via which the at least one reservoir is connectible to the pump, an outlet line, via which the pump is connectible to at least one outlet, and a rinsing line, via which the liquid suction line is loadable with a rinsing fluid, and an air volume controller, by which air, via an air supply line, is able to be led in a metered way to an inlet point into the liquid suction line, and a heating element designed as continuous-flow heater, which is disposed in the outlet line and is designed as thick film heater. The device has in the air supply line a second check valve and a first check valve, disposed between the air volume controller and inlet point into the liquid suction line, and the air supply line is connectible between first check valve and second check valve to the rinsing line via a valve.

The present invention relates to a grilling device, especially relates to a steam grilling device. It comprises a main body and a steam generator disposed on the main body. Compared to the conventional technique, by adding a steam generator on the main body of grilling device, the grilling device will has not only a general grilling function, but also has the steam heating function, so the heating of the grilling device will speed up, the loss of the nutrition of the food will be eliminated, and it also has effects such as degreasing and freshen, so the cooked food will be more nutritious and healthy.

An electrothermal cooker including an upper opening, a heating case, a lid body for the upper opening, a lower heater for heating a lower portion of the heating chamber, an upper heater for heating an upper portion of the heating chamber, and a check window. The lid body includes an inner lid, beneath an outer lid, which form the upper portion of the heating chamber. The upper heater is mounted to the lid body. The outer lid and inner lid define an opening for the check window. A portion of the lower side edge of the outer lid forms an engaging portion under the check window, and an upper portion of the inner lid forms a contact support for an outer peripheral edge of the check window, engaged with the engaging portion while surrounding this outer peripheral edge portion from under.

A wire-grid polarizer includes metal reflectors which are embedded in a large number of grooves formed in a one-dimensional grid pattern in the same direction and with the same period in the front surface of a transparent sheet, wherein the average width (a) of the metal reflectors is 200 nm or less, the ratio (b/a) of the average thickness (b) of the metal reflectors from the front side of the sheet to the tip in the backward direction to the above average width (a) is 4 to 25, in any cross-section perpendicular to the surface of the sheet, the shape of each of the metal reflectors in the vicinity of the tip in the thickness direction is such that it gradually becomes thinner in a linear or smoothly curved shape toward the tip, and the ratio of the average length (c) toward the tip of portions that gradually become thinner toward the tip to the above average width (a) is 1.2 or more.
