Abstract: A system for sorting metallic objects by magnetic separation has an electromagnetic core. The electronic core includes at least a first portion, a second portion, and a bottom. A sorting flap is arranged facing the electromagnetic core to fashion a circulation space for a conveyor of objects to be sorted from the first portion toward the second portion. The sorting flap includes a magnetic element arranged to form an air gap (E1) between the first portion and the sorting flap. The air gap forms a magnetic barrier opposing the passage of non-magnetic metallic objects, such that the objects are ejected from the conveyor. The second portion is arranged to ensure a return of the magnetic flux lines toward the first portion.

Abstract: A device and method for regulating a cooking apparatus. In order to obtain an effective servocontrol of the desired temperature with a cooking surface, when cooking for example by induction, a servocontrol curve is used in the plane (i.e., temperature, variation of the temperature as a function of time). Each time the curve is crossed the heating power is cut off or reduced. The device and method applies principally to monitoring of the heating device. The device according to the present invention is particularly well adapted to cooking surfaces and especially to cooking surfaces wherein cooking is done by induction.

Abstract: A temperature-measuring device for an induction-type cooking appliance is disclosed with a heat measuring device for an induction-type cooking hob including a heat conductor for measuring the temperature of a sauce pan or its contents independently of its diameter or its bottom surface configuration. A heat conductor includes modifications which minimize the effects of currents provided by the induction heating. The device allows for the measurement of temperature during induction heating.
