  • Publication number: 20220346198
    Abstract: A food processing machine for processing a food product includes a processing module having a housing with a sidewall, opposing end walls, and a chamber between the end walls and a conveyor extending through the end walls and the chamber and configured to convey the food product through the chamber. A microwave generating device is coupled to the sidewall and configured to generate microwave energy. A waveguide assembly is configured to receive the microwave energy, direct the microwave energy along a waveguide axis, and subsequently direct the microwave energy in a transverse direction that is transverse to the vertical direction through the sidewall and into the chamber such that the microwave energy heats the food products.

  • Publication number: 20210147082
    Abstract: An overhead stowage bin assembly having a bin structure with a lower panel and an open side that defines a front of the stowage bin assembly. The lower panel has a leading edge that is arranged at the front of the stowage bin assembly. A cover is formed by base plates and a central plate and is secured to the lower panel to form a passage. The central plate has protruding ribs that are aligned to increase the stiffness of the cover and the rigidity of the lower panel. A threshold has walls that are connected to each other and define a channel. The leading edge of the lower panel is received within the channel such that the threshold walls mate with opposite surfaces of the lower panel so as to grip the leading edge of the panel and further enhance the stiffness of the lower panel.
