Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for applying EM energy to a load. The apparatuses and methods may include at least one processor configured to receive information indicative of energy dissipated by the load for each of a plurality of modulation space elements. The processor may also be configured to associate each of the plurality of modulation space elements with a corresponding time duration of power application, based on the received information. The processor may be further configured to regulate energy applied to the load such that for each of the plurality of modulation space elements, power is applied to the load at the corresponding time duration of power application.

An apparatus for applying electromagnetic energy to an object placed in an energy application zone, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- determine a value indicative of energy absorbable by the object for each of a plurality of sets of value or values, wherein for each set, the value or values are selected from a group consisting of one or more phase values, one or more relative amplitude values, and one or more frequency values of electromagnetic waves to be applied to the energy application zone, wherein for each set, the value or values include at least one of a phase value or a relative amplitude value of the electromagnetic waves to be applied to the energy application zone;
- associate one or more sets from the plurality of sets each with a time duration of power application, based on the determined value indicative of energy absorbable by the object corresponding to each of the one or more sets;
- and
- regulate non-zero electromagnetic energy application to the object for each of the one or more sets according to the associated time duration.
