    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for applying radio frequency (RF) energy from a source of electromagnetic energy to an object in an energy application zone. At least one processor may be configured to acquire information indicative of electromagnetic energy loss associated with at least a portion of the energy application zone. The processor may be further configured to determine a weight to be applied to each of a plurality of electromagnetic field patterns each having a known electromagnetic field intensity distribution and cause the source to supply each of the plurality of electromagnetic field patterns to the energy application zone at the determined weights.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for applying radio frequency (RF) energy to an object in an energy application zone. At least one processor may be configured to cause RF energy to be applied at a plurality of electromagnetic field patterns to the object in the energy application zone. The processor may be further configured to determine an amount of power dissipated in the energy application zone, for each of the plurality of field patterns. The processor may also be configured to determine a spatial distribution of energy absorption characteristics across at least a portion of the energy application zone based on the amounts of power dissipated when the plurality of field patterns are applied to the energy application zone.
