The AMPERE Newsletter

The AMPERE Newsletter appears quarterly and covers short topical articles written by experts in the field. Typically it also includes a profile, conference reports, advertisements, a calendar of events and news items on various aspects of radio frequency and microwave energy usage in the ISM frequency band, covering topics broadly from 1 MHz to 30 GHz, although higher frequencies have also been covered. It also highlights on promising new research developments to emanate from academe and industry.

Issue 44 Issue 44, published in March 2005, contains the following articles and reports. Editor's Comment. Microwave Ovens and Some Industrial Food Applications in Northern Europe. 7th Seminar "Computer Modeling & Microwave Power Industry". OBITUARY: JOHN ZIMMERLY 1933 - 2005. News and Events

Editor's Comments

It is with great sadness to learn of the death of John Zimmerly after a long illness. He will be greatly missed by our community not only as a very capable engineer but as a colleague and a friend. His obituary is found on page 5.

In this issue we continue with another historical article, this time contributed by Per Risman who indeed needs no introduction to the microwave ad RF community. In his article he eloquently guides the reader through the maze of developments of the microwave oven and related aspects.

Further, on page 5 of this issue Vadim Yakovlev summarizes the latest Seminar in the series held in Monterey last January on computational aspects of microwave heating.

The organization for the 10th International AMPERE conference on Microwave and High Frequency Heating, which will be held at Modena, Italy, during 13-15 September 2005 is well under way. This conference is preceded by a short course on 12 September. Well over 100 abstracts have been received and details, as well as registration, will be placed on the University of Modena’s or AMPERE’s websites respectively, www.mag.unimo.it, and www.ampereeurope.org. in due course.
