A method for heating a container (Ri) placed on a cooktop including heating elements which are associated respectively with inductors which form elements for detecting the presence of the container and are distributed along a frame which is embodied such that it is two-dimensional in a cooking area. The method includes searching (E) a heating area (Zi) having the heating elements arrangement which are at least partially covered by the container and computing (E) a power supplied by each heating element of the heating area (Zi) according to a total specified power (Pi) associated thereto and the degree of coverage of each detection element associated to heating element by the container (Ri). Utilization, in particular, is for an inductive cooktop.

Method for heating a container (Ri) placed on a cooktop including heating elements which are associated respectively with inductors which form elements for detecting the presence of the container and are distributed along a frame which is embodied such that it is two-dimensional in a cooking area. The method includes searching (E) a heating area (Zi) consisting of the heating elements arrangement which are at least partially covered by the container and computing (E) a power supplied by each heating element of the heating area (Zi) according to a total specified power (Pi) associated thereto and the degree of coverage of each detection element associated to heating element by the container (Ri). The invention can be used, in particular for an inductive cooktop.

A supply generator for an oscillating circuit, includes an inductance (L) and a resonant capacitor (C, C), for operation at a fixed frequency and also includes at least one pair of transistors (I, I), operated on a variable cyclic regime for modifying the power. The generator includes a first diode (D) between a first transistor (I) and the supply for the generator and a second diode (D) between the junction point of the inductance (L) and the resonant capacitor (C, C) and the junction point of the first transistor (I) and the first diode (D). The invention is of particular use for supply of the cooking rings on an induction cooking hob.

An induction heating device for heating cooking vessels includes at least three concentric inductors and implements a step of heating a load. For a load covering at least three inductors, at least one intermediate inductor that is covered and that is determined in such a manner as to homogenize the input of heat to the load is not energized during the heating step. Applications of the device include domestic hot plates.

An inverter power supply device designed to supply power to a resonant circuit, includes a generator, having at least one switch series-connected with the resonant circuit and a freewheeling diode parallel-connected with the switch, the switch being controlled by a periodic signal with a frequency known as a working frequency. The device furthermore includes first device providing a measurement of the instantaneous current flowing in the resonant circuit; second device to deduce the maximum current (I.sub.max) from the instantaneous current; third device to deduce the current known as the switching current from the instantaneous current, this switching current being the current for which the switch or the freewheeling diode that is associated with it becomes conductive (I.sub.commut); first control device for the switch, receiving the maximum current(I.sub.max), the switching current (I.sub.commut) and an instructed value given by the user, modifying the instructed value given by the user as a function of the maximum current (I.sub.max) and the switching current (I.sub.commut) and giving the periodic signal as a function of the modified instructed value.
