A susceptor includes an absorbent substrate layer; a first susceptor layer including microwave susceptor material over the substrate layer; and a first protective overcoating layer over the first susceptor layer, where the absorbent substrate layer comprises non-woven fibers.

A microwave dry-fry cooking process includes the steps of providing a food product in or on a microwave cooking vessel and exposing the food product in or on the microwave cooking vessel to microwave energy in a microwave oven. The food product includes a food load and a coating composition coated on the food load, where the coating composition comprises at least one microwave-absorbing oil or fat.

An anti-theft device is provided including an electrical appliance having a power cord. A stationary hinge portion is fixedly coupled to a recipient surface. Associated therewith is a movable hinge portion hingably coupled to the stationary hinge portion and further lockable with respect thereto. A cord may then be situated between the hinge portions and locked therebetween for preventing the theft of the electrical appliance.

A pattern of tear perforations is provided in the substrate that forms a microwave reheating support. The pattern of tear perforations enables the substrate to be separated into portions so that the substrate can be adjusted in size and/or shape to correspond to the size and/or shape of the food product being heated. For example, a round substrate can include a circular pattern of tear perforations spaced radially inward from an outer circumference of the round substrate. This enables the outer peripheral portion of the round substrate to be removed to reduce the size (diameter) of the substrate for use with smaller-sized food products. The pattern of tear perforations can include one or more lines of tear perforations that extend across a substrate. For example, the lines of tear perforations can divide the circular substrate into a plurality of wedges that can be used, for example, to heat a slice of pizza instead of the entire pizza. Additionally, the line(s) of tear perforations can divide a box or sleeve, which may contain multiple food products (spring-rolls, for example) into individual supports (boxes or sleeves), each containing a single food product.

A mechanism for adjusting the orientation of the arms that carry the backup rollers in a core steady rest. The rollers are rendered fixed relative to each other and relative to the arms. The arms are adjusted toward and away from the log as necessary to maintain equal contact of the two rollers on the log. The adjustment is preferably accomplished by mounting the arm ends opposite the rollers to an eccentric that pivots the arm ends in an arc toward the log.

A fluorescent lamp having a multi-U-bent tubular envelope of convoluted configuration is combined with circuit means, a translucent protective cover and a base module to provide an efficient lamp unit of high brightness and long life that is compact enough to be used as a replacement for incandescent lamps in fixtures designed for residential and commerical lighting installations. Various spatial arrangements for including the ballast and starter components of the energizing circuit as integral parts of the compact lamp unit, despite the stringent space limitations, and also venting the cover and base module to provide convection cooling of the convoluted fluorescent lamp and the other electrical components are also disclosed. Tubulations provided on U-bent portions of the lamp envelope serve as phosphor-drainage means during lamp manufacture and are subsequently tipped off to form mercury-condensation chambers within the finished lamp that regulate the mercury-vapor pressure during lamp operation. The vapor-pressure regulating tubulations are so located relative to the vent openings in the lamp unit that they are exposed in the cool air which circulates through the lamp unit when the latter is energized and in use.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for improved collection of airborne particles in an airborne prospecting method. A high volume of air is sampled and processed through a cyclone separator to achieve a high concentration of particle collection on a collecting surface. The collected particles may be analyzed as to mineral element type and correlated with the geographical position of collection to permit a deduction as to the type of minerals and soil in the terrain below.

This invention relates to a neutron generator and a method for the production of 14 MeV neutrons. Heavy ions are accelerated to impinge upon a target mixture of deuterium and tritium to produce recoil atoms of deuterium and tritium. These recoil atoms have a sufficient energy such that they interact with other atoms of tritium or deuterium in the target mixture to produce approximately 14 MeV neutrons.

Production of 14 MeV neutrons by heavy ions

Fissionable uranium formed into a foil is bombarded with thermal neutrons in the presence of deuterium-tritium gas. The resulting fission fragments impart energy to accelerate deuterium and tritium particles which in turn provide approximately 14 MeV neutrons by the reactions t(d,n).sup.4 He and d(t,n).sup.4 He.
