It also highlights on promising new research developments to emanate from academe and industry.

New High Power Generator System from Ferrite . Process Energetics Laboratory. Obituary: Dr. Andrzej W.Kraszewski. News and Events.

Editor's Comment

As we all aware the 10th Microwave and High Frequency Heating International Conference will be held in Romania. Prof Marius Silaghi describes the current microwave research activity and their longer term aims for international collaboration.

I am delighted to welcome Professor John Pearce to briefly describe his activities at the Process Energetics Laboratory at the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. Futher, in this issue Tom Wendell of the Ferrite Co, well known for their microwave food tempering equipment, describes a new development involving high power generators for a variety of applications.

Finally, it is with great sadness to report the deatch in July of Andrzej W. Kraszewski in Crete. His colleague and friend, Stuart Nelson, has provided us with an obituary, which appears on page 4.
