A radiant heater is disclosed. The radiant heater includes a heating layer, with a first elongated conductor configured to receive electricity and a second elongated conductor disposed parallel to the first conductor. A continuous sheet of resistive material adapted to produce heat in response to electrical current is disposed between the first and second elongated conductor. The heater also includes a transparent layer and a non-transparent functional layer that is disposed between the heating layer and the transparent layer. In a preferred aspect, the invention is in the form of a heating mirror.

An assembly for mounting a wireless access point includes a base panel configured to be mounted to a post and to support the access point. The assembly includes a shroud configured to at least partially surround the base panel, the access point, and the post. The assembly can also include an antenna support configured to support an antenna coupled to the access point and configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. A method of mounting the access point to the post includes mounting, to the post, the base panel supporting the access point. The method also includes, after mounting the base panel to the post, coupling the shroud to the base panel such that the shroud at least partially surrounds the base panel, the access point, and the post.

A baseboard radiator (10) for use in perimeter heating has a heating coil (11), a chassis (25) and a cover (23). The heating coil (11) has at least one fin (12), defining a front edge (13), a rear edge (14), an upper edge (15) and a lower edge (16) of the heating coil (11). The lower edge (16) has front (21) and rear (22) notches formed therein. The chassis (25) engages with the rear notch (22) and extends from the lower edge (16) over the rear edge (14) and the upper edge (15). The chassis (25) is further adapted for mounting the radiator (10) on a wall (28). The cover (23) engages with the front notch (21) and extends from the lower edge (16) over the front edge (13) and the upper edge (15) to engage between the chassis (25) and the wall (28).

A radiant heater device has an electrode embedded in a substrate part and a plurality of heating parts. The electrodes are formed by material that has low specific resistance. An area occupied by the electrode is restricted. The heating parts are formed by material having high specific resistance in order to generate heat so that radiation is produced. The electrode and the heating part are electrically connected within the substrate part. The plurality of heating parts are arranged in parallel between a pair of electrodes. The electrodes and the heating parts are formed in a film-like shape, and the thermal capacity is reduced. As a result, a temperature of the heating parts rises promptly in response to a turning on of power. In addition, the temperature of the heating parts promptly decreases when an object comes into contact therewith.

The invention relates to a system and method for fastening a heating/cooling element (3) to a wall or to a floor, the method comprising the following steps: a) fastening at least two brackets (1, 2) to a wall (W) and/or to a floor (B), the longitudinal axis (L) of each bracket (1, 2) being vertically oriented and the two brackets (1, 2) being spaced apart from one another in the horizontal direction; b) bringing a first (lower) edge formation of the heating/cooling element into engagement with the complementary first bracket formation (F1) of the particular bracket (1, 2), so that a pivoting engagement between the heating/cooling element (3) and the brackets (1, 2) is established; c) pivoting the heating/cooling element (3) with respect to the two brackets (1, 2) about a pivot axis (R), a second (upper) edge formation of the heating/cooling element being swiveled toward the second bracket formation (F2) of the particular bracket (1, 2); and d) bringing the second (upper) edge formation of the heating/cooling element (3) into engagement with the complementary second bracket formation (F2) of the particular bracket (1, 2), so that a locking engagement between the heating/cooling element (3) and the brackets (1, 2) is established.

A hydronic heating system that may depend on pressure in the system for smooth operation. The pressure may be monitored. Pressure in the system may indicate health of the heating system. Certain pressures or variations of pressures may indicate one or more conditions in the system which may be good or adverse. An example of an adverse condition may be leakage of fluid from the system. Analyzes of pressures detected in the heating system may be performed by a computer programmed to indicate conditions of the system that are reflected by the detected pressures.
