  • Self powered electric generating food heater
    Publication number: 20070204850
    Abstract: A self-powered food heater. The food heater includes a burner with an electric fuel pump and an electric blower, a fire box, a water tank and electronic controls. The food heater also includes a set of thermoelectric modules compressed against a heat transfer surface of the tank. Hot exhaust leaving the burner enters the fire box. Some of the heat from the fire box passes through the thermoelectric modules generating sufficient electric power to power the fuel pump and the blower. Water in the tank is heated to its boiling temperature. Heat from the boiling water heats food also contained in the tank. In a preferred embodiment special compression frames provide substantially uniform compression, within desired ranges, of the modules between a portion of the heat transfer surface of the tank and a module cover plate.

  • System and method employing a pie-zoelectric crystal and transverse oscillation to perform a capsulotomy
    Patent number: 5921999
    Abstract: A system and method for performing a capsulotomy employ a handpiece including a cutting assembly that fits into the anterior chamber of the eye, and cuts an opening in the capsule of the eye with mechanical oscillation. The cutting assembly includes a rigid sleeve enclosing an oscillating shaft. The sleeve and oscillating shaft are configured to induce a laminar flow of fluid in the interior of the sleeve during operation of the system. The cutting member oscillates in a direction transverse to the longitudinal dimension of the handpiece.
