1. A reaction method, comprising:
- receiving an electromagnetic control signal from a remote control signal source;
in response to the received electromagnetic control signal, modifying a reaction condition at a reaction region of a reaction device located in an environment through at least one of a mechanical, thermal, or chemical response of the remotely activatable control element to the electromagnetic control signal; and
releasing a product of the reaction into the environment.

73. A reaction system comprising:
a reaction device including;
a body structure adapted for positioning in an environment;
a reaction region located in or on the body structure, the reaction region including a first material capable of influencing a chemical reaction; and
a remotely activatable control element operably coupled to the body structure and responsive to an electromagnetic field control signal to modify one or more of the rate or kinetics of the chemical reaction; and
a remote control signal source capable of generating an electromagnetic control signal sufficient to activate the remotely activatable control element to produce a desired rate of the chemical reaction.- View Dependent Claims (74, 93, 94, 95, 103, 108, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128)
