Abstract:
Method and systems for heating an item in a chamber comprising applying a first electromagnetic wave to an array of variable reflectance elements and corresponding array of variable impedance devices is disclosed. The corresponding array includes first and second variable impedance devices. The method also comprises reflecting, when the first device has a first impedance value, the first wave from the array to the item. The reflecting places a local maximum of energy at a first location on the item. The method also comprises altering an impedance of the first device. The method also comprises applying a second electromagnetic wave, and reflecting the second wave from the array to the item. The reflecting places the local maximum at a second location on the item. Altering the impedance of the first variable impedance device alters a reflectance of a first variable reflectance element in the array of variable reflectance elements.

Claim (Index 1):
An electronic oven with a set of reflective elements for controlling a distribution of microwave energy in the electronic oven, comprising:\n a chamber; a microwave energy source coupled to an injection port in the chamber; a set of actuators connected to the set of reflective elements; a controller that controls the set of actuators; wherein the microwave energy source applies an electromagnetic wave with a dominant wavelength to the chamber; wherein the set of reflective elements are held above a surface of the chamber by the set of actuators at a distance greater than  0 . 1  of the dominant wavelength; wherein the controller repositions the set of reflective elements via the set of actuators; wherein the controller stores instructions that independently cause a repositioning of each reflective element in the set of reflective elements using the set of actuators; and wherein the set of actuators and the set of reflective elements are each sets of at least three units.
