Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed cause at least one processor to:
initiate transmission of radio frequency (RF) energy by multiple RF emitters into a specified area in order to inactivate one or more specified microorganisms in the specified area;
obtain information identifying different types of microorganisms that are or might be present in the specified area over time;
control the RF emitters in order to adjust the RF energy transmitted by the RF emitters;
adjust the RF energy transmitted by the RF emitters in order to target the different types of microorganisms for inactivation over time; and
maintain a collective field strength below a safety standard threshold within an overlapping region of at least two of the RF emitters when inactivation of a specified microorganism requires increasing the RF energy of the RF emitters.
