    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, kits, and systems relating to applying electromagnetic energy to an object located at least partially in an energy application zone are disclosed. Some apparatuses may include a processor configured to determine a preliminary amount of energy to be dissipated in the object and determine a corrected amount of energy based on the preliminary amount of energy and calibration information. The processor may be further configured to cause a source to transfer energy to the energy application zone and determine an amount of delivered energy, based on an amount of energy returned from the energy application zone and an amount of energy supplied to the energy application zone. The processor may also be configured to cause the source to transfer energy to the energy application zone at least until the amount of delivered energy equals the corrected amount of energy.

    Abstract: Some aspects of the invention may be directed to an apparatus and method for applying RF energy to containers. The containers (e.g., pots, tanks, vats, kettles, reactors, etc.) may contain an object to be heated or processed by EM energy. The object may be in the liquid phase, gas phase, solid phase or any combination of phases thereof. The apparatus may comprise an outer housing. Optionally the outer housing may be substantially opaque to RF energy. The apparatus may further comprise an inner housing disposed at least partially within the outer housing, wherein at least a portion of the inner housing is configured to transmit RF energy. The apparatus may include at least one radiating element configured to apply RF energy to an energy application zone within the inner housing. In some embodiments the at least one radiating element is located external to the inner housing, optionally between the inner housing and the outer housing. In some embodiments, the at least one radiating element may be activated and RF energy may be transmitted, via the at least one activated radiating element, to the object located within the energy application zone.
