Abstract
Some exemplary aspects of the invention may be directed to an apparatus for processing an object by RF energy applied at a plurality of excitation setups. The apparatus may include a controller configured to select one or more excitation setups, from among a plurality of pilot excitation setups, for applying RF energy to a rotating chamber; and cause a source of RF energy to apply RF energy at the one or more selected excitation setups, wherein the controller is configured to both select the one or more excitation setups and cause the source of RF energy to apply RF energy to the one or more selected excitation setups at least twice during a single rotation of the rotating chamber. The apparatus may be a dryer.
Claims30
A method of processing an object by application of RF energy, the method comprising:
- selecting, from among a plurality of excitation setups, one or more excitation setups for RF energy application to a rotating chamber configured to contain an object to be processed;
- and
- applying RF energy at the one or more selected excitation setups, wherein the selecting and applying occurs at least twice during a single rotation of the chamber.
An apparatus for processing an object by RF energy applied at a plurality of excitation setups the apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to:
