Abstract
Abstract Absorptive tape or gasket for microwave ovens, set up in the leakage path of microwave energy, and filling at least partially such passage, consisting in an absorptive magnetic compound: where the compound consists in a powder or mixture of powders of ferrites, in an organic matrix (such as a plastic, rubber, polymer, etc.), where this or these ferrite(s) is (are) represented by the general formula MO(Fe 2 O 3 ), where M represents a bivalent metal, or mixture of bivalent metals, such as Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mg, with a weight percentage of over 80%, and where this compound does present no resonance effects, i.e. presents a Q-factor substantially equal or less than unity, over the frequency range of 2,45 to over 12 GHz.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
Absorptive tape or gasket for microwave ovens, positioned in a leakage path of microwave energy, and filling at least partially such passage, comprising an absorptive magnetic compound: wherein the compound consists of a powder or mixture of powders of ferrites, in an organic matrix, where the powder or mixture is represented by the general formula MO(Fe 2 O 3 ), where M represents a bivalent metal, or mixture of bivalent metals, selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Mg, with a weight percentage of over 80%, and where the ferrite in this compound has a low frequency permeability higher than 200, said powder or mixture having a resistivity greater than 50 Ω-cm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
Absorptive tape or gasket for microwave ovens, positioned in a leakage path of microwave energy, and filling at least partially such passage, comprising an absorptive magnetic compound: wherein the compound consists of a powder or mixture of powders of ferrites, in an organic matrix, where the powder or mixture is represented by the general formula MO(Fe 2 O 3 ), where M represents a bivalent metal, or mixture of bivalent metals, selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Mg, with a weight percentage of over 80%, and where the ferrite in this compound has a low frequency permeability higher than 200, said powder or mixture having a resistivity greater than 50 Ω-cm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Absorptive tape or gasket according to claim 1, wherein the organic matrix comprises a material selected from the group consisting of plastic, rubber, and polymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
Absorptive tape or gasket according to claim 1, wherein the low frequency permeability of the ferrite is greater than 1,000.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
Absorptive tape or gasket according to claim 1, wherein the resistivity of said ferrite powder is greater than 1,000 Ω-cm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
Absorptive tape or gasket according to claim 1, 3, 4, or 2, where one or both side(s) of the tape or gasket, in the leakage direction, is (are) level-edged, so as to achieve a progressive wave-matching to avoid internal reflexions and consequent frequency-selective absorptive effects.
