The present invention provides a process for disposing of a composite structure containing radioactive waste, the process being for containing and solidifying a high-dose concentrated waste liquid in a drum, and disposing of a composite structure, which is a large concrete loading container in which the drum is contained. The process for disposing of a composite structure containing radioactive waste, of the present invention, comprises the steps of: providing a support structure at the lower portion of the composite structure in which radioactive waste is contained; forming a penetration part by perforating the lower portion of a concrete container forming the composite structure after the step of providing the support structure; performing a separation process of separating out the radioactive waste contained therein through the penetration part after the step of forming the penetration part; and cutting and disassembling the composite structure after the step of performing the separation process.

A heating arrangement for a cooking appliance, such as a toaster or oven. Heating elements can be exposed in a cavity of the appliance and can have a shield that permits infrared energy to pass but blocks microwaves and/or provides physical support for internal components such as a quartz tube or resistance element. The shield can be grounded to one or more cavity walls by grounding elements that engage with the shield and a portion of the cavity wall. The heating element can emit a greater amount of infrared radiation in one direction than an opposite direction, e.g., due to a convex or other shape of the resistance element. Sets of heating elements can be controlled so that a second element begins to emit visible light at a same time that a first element stops emitting visible light. Convection air can be directed at one or more heating elements, which diffuse the air flow or otherwise prevent flow of air directly to food in the cavity.

A computer-implemented method is proposed for generating a spectral model representation of an electromagnetic element for use in determining an electromagnetic response to electromagnetic radiation interacting with the electromagnetic element. The spectral representation contains a two-dimensional array of elements corresponding to respective wave vectors, each of the wave vectors being defined by a (different) corresponding pair of wave numbers in two mutually transverse directions. The electromagnetic element is described geometrically as a plurality of slices stacked transverse to these directions, and each containing one or more polygons. The method comprises determining points along each of the polygon edges, a computes coefficient is computed based on an extent of the corresponding polygon edge in the transverse directions. Fourier components are generated in each of the transverse directions, for each of the wave vectors, by performing a Fast Fourier Transform, FFT, algorithm using the coefficients.
