1. A system for controlling a reaction device, comprising:
- an article of manufacture including a signal bearing medium, the signal bearing medium bearing;
instructions for generating an acoustic control signal including frequency components absorbable by an acoustically responsive control element of the reaction device in an environment; and
instructions for remotely transmitting the acoustic control signal to the reaction device in the environment with signal characteristics sufficient to produce at least one of mechanical, thermal or chemical activation of the acoustically responsive control element in the reaction device to control a chemical reaction occurring at a reaction region of the reaction device.
