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 PL...

A method of heating and/or thawing using an RF heater is described. In some cases the heating differentially heats portions according to their dissipation ratios. Optionally, this avoids dissipating large amounts of energy into thawed portions while frozen portions are still extant and heat slowly. Optionally, this ...

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for applying electromagnetic energy to an object in an energy application zone via at least one radiating element. At least one processor may be configured to determine locations of a first region and a second region in the energy application zone. In addition  the processor may b...

A device of heating one or more blood product units using electromagnetic (EM) energy. The device comprises a chamber sized and shaped for containing at least one frozen blood product unit, a dielectric heating unit for applying electromagnetic (EM) energy at a plurality of frequencies to the at least one blood prod...

A method of irradiating a load comprising providing different amounts of energy at different frequencies by varying respective durations during which corresponding frequencies are transmitted. The method is useful for any form of heating including warming, drying and thawing using microwave and/or RF energy. ...
