Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A heating device for controllably heating an article defines a processing chamber to hold the article and includes a housing and an EMF generator. The housing includes a susceptor portion surrounding at least a portion of the processing chamber, and a conductor portion interposed between the susceptor portion and the processing chamber. The EMF generator is operable to induce eddy currents within the susceptor portion such that substantially no eddy currents are induced in the conductor portion. The conductor portion is operative to conduct heat from the susceptor portion to the processing chamber. The heating device may further include a platter and an opening defined in the conductor portion, wherein the opening is interposed between the susceptor portion and the platter.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
That which is claimed is: 1. A method for controllably heating an article, the method comprising: a) positioning the article in a processing chamber; b) applying an electromagnetic field to a housing about the processing chamber such that eddy currents are induced within an outer, susceptor portion of the housing, and such that substantially none of the electromagnetic field is applied to an inner conductor portion of the housing and substantially no eddy currents are induced in…
