Abstract: A method for operating a memory system includes updating, after accessing ail of one or more first memory regions included in a first list for a purpose of data storage, map data for the first memory regions; determining a list size based on a workload of the memory system, and generating a second list including one or more second memory regions depending on the list size; and accessing, after the updating of the map data, the second memory regions for a purpose of data storage.

Abstract: The microwave heating apparatus of the present invention enables microwaves to be propagated onto an object to be heated through a waveguide such that the microwaves propagate to a microwave space reduced by a wavelength controller which is arranged, as a solid-state object, to occupy a predetermined space in the waveguide. Thus, the microwave heating apparatus of the present invention heats the object to be heated which has been placed in the reduced space. The microwave heating apparatus of the present invention utilizes the effects of lengthening the wavelength of the microwaves propagating to the reduced space so as to be longer than the wavelength before entering the reduced space by a predetermined multiple depending on a near-cutoff condition.
