Method and apparatus for managing the thermal activity of a microwave oven

A Cold Oven Manager for a microwave oven, the microwave oven having an interpretive BIOS machine for a computer or microprocessor controlled host microwave oven or chemical, physical, or thermodynamic process stream, the oven or process stream having a data entry mechanism operatively disposed thereon, and cavity disposed therein, the cavity sized to receive a specimen, the microwave oven receiving commands to perform work on the specimen, comprising:

• a) a system controller having a memory, said controller operatively disposed intermediate said data entry mechanism and said host microwave oven or process stream;
• b) means for deriving a code for entry into said data mechanism;
• c) means, stored in said memory, for receiving and interpreting said code;
• d) a scaling data structure having data determined by said interpreted code, said data being scaled to the sample mass, sample geometry, and sample composition specific work producing operating characteristics, in-situ elevation, and age degraded performance characteristics of said host microwave oven or process stream;
• e) means, stored in said memory, for receiving data from the BIOS machine, said data defining the thermal activity of the microwave oven, said means processing said data;
• and,
• f) an instruction set generated from said processed data, said instruction set commanding the BIOS machine to alter the work commands;
• whereby work performed on the specimen reflects the thermal conditions of the microwave oven.

A Cold Oven Manager for a microwave oven, the microwave oven having a BIOS machine operatively disposed therein, the microwave oven having a cavity disposed therein, the cavity sized to receive a specimen, the microwave oven receiving commands to perform work on the specimen, comprising:

• a) a program operatively disposed within the BIOS machine;
• b) said program receiving data from the BIOS machine said data comprises the last work performed and duration cycle finish time;
• c) an instruction set generated from said data, said instruction set commanding the BIOS machine to alter the work commands;
• and,
• d) a Work Manager interactively disposed to the BIOS machine, said Work Manager interactively connected to and communicating with the Cold Oven Manager, said Work Manager receiving said instruction set from the Cold Oven Manager, whereby said Work Manager alters work to be performed on the specimen;
• and whereby said altered work is scaled to increase the work performed on the specimen.
