  • Device and method for decreasing radiative heat flux of infrared energy
    Patent number: 10697640
    Abstract: A method and device utilizing infrared energy for heating objects, while providing energy control and enabling a decrease radiative heat flux (or intensity) of the infrared energy. An infrared emission device providing reduction of radiative heat flux or intensity from a primary emitter according to the invention may comprise a heat source, a primary emitter that emits infrared radiation of a first wavelength, and a secondary emitter that is spaced apart from the primary emitter. The secondary emitter receives infrared radiation emitted from the primary emitter and emits infrared radiation. The secondary emitter is constructed and arranged to emit infrared radiation having a wavelength that is longer than the infrared radiation of the first wavelength.

  • GRILL PAN FOR LOAVES OF FOOD
    Publication number: 20180242786
    Abstract: A grill pan for loaves of food is characterized by a food support having a plurality of apertures formed therein and a bottomless container having peripheral walls that define an area between the walls. The bottomless container is so constructed and arranged to be positioned over the plurality of apertures of the food support plate. The bottomless container has food positioned therein. Food in the bottomless container is exposed to heat, such as infrared and/or convective heat, to cook the food in the container.
