Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and/or methods for providing an induction heating system are disclosed. The induction heating system includes an induction power supply and an induction heating tool configured to receive induction-type power from the induction power supply through one or more ports. The ports may be part of the induction power supply and/or an associated junction box. The induction heating tool may include a heating coil attached to one or more plugs via one or more cables. The ports of the induction power supply and/or junction box are configured to receive the plugs of the induction heating tool. A communication device may be positioned adjacent the ports. The communication device may be configured to read data from one or more memory devices of the induction heating tool (e.g., in/on the plugs) via close proximity communication.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for induction heating are disclosed. An example induction heating cable assembly includes: a first group of one or more cables extending substantially in parallel; a second group of one or more cables extending substantially in parallel, the first group of cables in parallel with the second group of cables; and an insulation layer configured to insulate the first group of cables and the second group of cables from electrical contact, the insulation layer configured to group the first group of cables, to group the second group of cables, and to extend between the first group and second groups of cables, in which the first group of cables, the second group of cables, and the insulation layer are conformable to enable conformance of the induction heating cable assembly to a workpiece to be heated via the induction heating cable assembly.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for induction heating are disclosed. An example induction heating apparatus includes a first conductor and a second conductor, configured to be arranged in conformance with a workpiece while the conductors are not electrically connected in series, and a turn connector configured to: connect the first and second conductors in series to configure the first and second conductors as an inductor having a plurality of turns; and arranges portions of the first and second conductors located between the turn connector and the workpiece to be adjacent.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed of a membrane panel comprising a close-proximity communication antenna embedded within the membrane panel. In an example, a welding-type system includes a membrane panel with a user interface and a close-proximity communication antenna embedded within the membrane panel.
