Patent number: 8759727Abstract: A roasting oven includes an enclosure coupled to a source of microwave RF energy, an operable door for sealing the enclosure for RF, the operable door having a viewing aperture which prevents the escape of RF from inside the chamber. A rotating support has an axis which is perpendicular to the viewing aperture such that the progress of roasting may be viewed through the viewing aperture and into a food container placed in the rotating support. The applied power of the microwave RF source and the rotational velocity of the rotating support are selected to provide uniform or wide spectrum roasting of the food item. A roasting profile may include a roasting interval during which the microwave RF source and rotating support are both energized, and subsequently a cool-down interval where the microwave RF source is disabled and the rotating support continues to rotate.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Coffee Technologies, International, Inc.Inventors: Robert G. Gard, Glen T. Poss, Robert Barker

Patent number: 7426282Abstract: A head set speaker and stereo radio playing device exhibits improved harmonics and acoustic fidelity. A resilient and flexible headpiece is sized to fit behind the head of the user. Right and left device enclosures are carried by the ends of the headpiece, and are aerodynamic shaped to minimize wind whistle which may result when the head set is worn while moving rapidly. Right and left behind the ear flanges extend downwardly from a position adjacent to the ends of the headpiece, and aid in the positioning of the right and left ear device enclosures. In a typical application, the device enclosures are positioned immediately forward of the user's ears, allowing ambient sound to be heard. A speaker assembly and a removable battery assembly are carried within each device enclosure. The speakers are oriented within the device enclosures with the speaker magnet directed to, and in contact with, the head of the listener. This achieves two interrelated and significant structural and electronic advantages.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2000Date of Patent: September 16, 2008Assignee: US Design & ProductionsInventor: Glen T Poss

Patent number: 7235764Abstract: A device and process to roast green coffee beans using a combination of microwave, conduction, convection, infrared, and latent steam heating. The device is a sealed cartridge that is semi porous and is used in a conventional or purpose built microwave oven. The resultant coffee is more flavorful and uses ½ the energy that conventional roasters use.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Coffee Technologies International Inc.Inventor: Glen T. Poss

Patent number: 6436457Abstract: A microwavable package for roasting coffee beans in which the package is shaped to be relatively larger in two dimensions than in a third dimension so that it presents a generally flat appearance or configuration. The package comprises a paper outer layer and an inner layer that includes a microwave susceptor. On the interior of the package a filter is provided, and a vent permits communication between the interior and exterior. The outer layer may be variously, kraft paper, bond paper, or filter paper. The inner layer may comprise a printed dipole antenna or a thin film conductor. The vent may be at least one perforation through both the inner and outer layers or a series of perforations. In a preferred embodiment, the package includes supports for maintaining the package in a generally vertical orientation when it is placed in a microwave to roast the coffee beans contained therein.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: MoJocoffee Co.Inventor: Glen T.

Patent number: 5565839Abstract: A preferred form of a battery-powered, portable flashing superluminescent light-emitting diode safety warning light 10 is described having a single SLD 40 mounted at a shallow angle of between 3 and 22 degrees on a reflective printed circuit board 54. The SLD 40 has a narrow optical band width that is directed to a thin right angle lens 24 that is mounted in a curved condition between sidewalls 16 and 18. The lens 24 has a smooth outer surface 62 and a grooved inner surface 64. The inner surface 64 has parallel "V" shaped grooves formed therein that form linear prisms 76 that extend in a curved contour between the sidewalls 16 and 18. The light 10 has a battery-powered electrical circuit 50 for pulsing the SLD 40 at a frequency of between 1 and 3 Hz and with a pulse width of between 10 and 50 percent of the frequency period. The electrical circuit 50 utilizes a NPN transistor 98 that is mounted backwards for turning the SLD 40 OFF and ON during the duty cycle.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1995Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: Grafon CorporartionInventor: Glen T.

Patent number: 5069469Abstract: Recumbent cycle (12) is supported by a pair of forward steerable wheels (16) and a single rear drivewheel (18) mounted on rear end portion of a frame structure (14) by a hub assembly (50) having an integral transmission and brake. A pair of side-mounted gimbal assemblies (170L, 170R) may be conveniently tilted laterally to steer wheels (16) in the same corresponding direction. The gimbal assemblies (170L, 170R) may be individually or in unison tilted in the forward direction to actuate the brake of hub assembly (50). Frame structure (14) includes a forward beam (34) telescopically engaged within a main beam (32) to vary the distance between a crank assembly (28) and a seat (20) to accommodate riders of different sizes.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1987Date of Patent: December 3, 1991Assignee: H.P.E.
