ELECTRONIC OVEN WITH INFRARED EVALUATIVE CONTROL
A disclosed computer-implemented method for heating an item in a chamber of an electronic oven towards a target state includes heating the item with a set of applications of energy to the chamber while the electronic oven is in a respective set of configurations. The set of applications of energy and respective set of configurations define a respective set of variable distributions of energy in the chamber. The method also includes sensing sensor data that defines a respective set of responses by the item to the set of applications of energy. The method also includes generating a plan to heat the item in the chamber. The plan is generated by a control system of the electronic oven and uses the sensor data.
SYSTEMS FOR TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL OF INDOOR THERMAL ENVIRONMENT GENERATED BY INFRARED HEAT PANELS
A heated indoor cycling environment created by the use of infrared heat panels, a specific thermostat system including a high temperature range thermostat, remote sensors, a heating schedule, and a humidifying system is provided. The heated indoor cycling environment can be a heated room enclosed by a plurality of walls and at least one door. The thermostat system can include a heating and cooling system, two thermostats, two remote sensors, a plurality of infrared heating panels and an infrared heating panel thermostat. The thermostats, remote sensors and the plurality of infrared heating panels are installed within the heated room while the infrared heating panel thermostat is installed within a second room separate from the heated room. The infrared heating panel thermostat, the thermostats and the remote sensors provide information of air temperature of the heated room for controlling the heating and cooling system.
CONTROLLING HEATING OF A SURFACE
The heating of a surface is controlled by: monitoring the temperature of a plurality of zones of the surface to output at least one temperature reading of each of the plurality of zones. The temperature readings are modulated in response to a pattern arranged across a portion of the plurality of zones. The energy delivered to each of the plurality of zones is controlled based on the modulated temperature readings to maintain a substantially homogeneous temperature distribution across the surface.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING CARBON DIOXIDE DELIVERY TO CROPS DURING HIGH TEMPERATURE PERIODS
A system and method of optimizing Carbon Dioxide delivery to crops during high-temperature periods. The method of facilitating plant growth includes the steps of (a) determining the wilting temperature of a set of plants; (b) measuring the ambient temperature of the plants; (c) supplying CO2 gas to the plants when the ambient temperature reaches a predetermined temperature point prior to the wilting temperature of the set of plants; and (d) continuing to supply CO2 gas to the plants until the ambient temperature of the set of plants falls below the predetermined temperature point, and then discontinuing supplying CO2 gas to the plants. Temperature of the plants is measured by a temperature sensor continuously monitoring the ambient temperature of the plants. A CO2 gas applicator disposed near the plants supplies CO2. the CO2 gas applicator is connected to a controller that is connected to a CO2 gas source.
