An electric heating device may heat an air flow through a duct of a ventilation, heating and/or air-conditioning installation of an automotive vehicle. The heating device may include at least one heating module that is contained in a heating body. The heating body may include a housing for controlling and supplying electrical power to the at least one heating module. The housing may include, in its interior, a printed circuit board from which a power supply connector and a control connector protrude. The housing may also include a power supply opening such that the power supply connector emerges from the housing and a control opening such that the control connector emerges from the housing. The housing may include a skirt that protrudes in parallel to the control connector on the periphery of the control opening. The skirt may be formed as a single part with the housing.

A male connector includes a housing fixed to a base, a holding unit supported in such a manner as to enable displacement with respect to the housing; and an elastically deformable male terminal held by the holding unit. The housing is able to maintain the holding unit in a stationary state with the terminal undeformed and apart from the conductive film, while the holding unit is in the temporal locking position with the housing fixed to the base. The housing is able to maintain the holding unit in a stationary state with the terminal elastically deformed and contacting the conductive film, while the holding unit is in the non-temporal locking position with the housing fixed to the base.

An electric heater includes a substrate, a first outer pattern part disposed on one surface of the substrate and to connect with a pair of first electrodes, a second outer pattern part to connect with the pair of first electrodes in parallel with the first outer pattern part and to be spaced apart from the first outer pattern part, and an inner pattern part disposed on one surface of the substrate so as to be located such that the first outer pattern part and the second outer pattern part surround the inner pattern part, to be spaced apart from the first outer pattern part and the second outer pattern part, and to connect with a pair of second electrodes spaced apart from the pair of first electrodes.

A heater assembly having a lower tank that is provided with an inlet and an outlet and has a first space, a heater case that covers the first space, has at least one heat transfer pocket that is situated in the first space, and has a second space, at least one heating module that is inserted into the heat transfer pocket such that a terminal thereof is situated in the second space, a bus bar block which is accommodated in the second space and to which the terminal is connected, and a PCB module that controls the heating module is provided. The bus bar block includes a bus bar that contacts the terminal, and a first bus bar plate which has a terminal through-hole, through which the terminal passes, and in which the bus bar is arranged.

A lamp or lens assembly for a motor vehicle that includes electrically conductive traces for defogging or deicing the lens. Aspects include a light transmissive lens coupled to a lamp housing. The light transmissive lens may define a curved cross-section with a curvature extending across the length and/or the width of the lens. The lens may include one or more electrically conductive traces positioned on a surface of the lens, the electrically conductive traces optionally extending across and curving with the curvature of the light transmissive lens. One or more coatings may optionally cover the conductive traces and a portion of the lens surface leaving portions uncovered. The electrically conductive traces may extend outwardly away from the surface of the lens with height that is greater than their width.

An electrically heated support according to the present invention includes: a pillar shaped honeycomb structure, the honeycomb structure including an outer peripheral wall and a partition wall, the partition wall defining a plurality of cells, each of the cells penetrating from one end face to other end face to form a flow path; and a pair of electrode terminals provided on a surface of the outer peripheral wall. In a cross section of the honeycomb structure, the honeycomb structure includes: a plurality of first slits arranged, the first slits being configured to define an energizing path; and a least one second slit located in the energizing path, the second slit extending in a different direction from that of the first slits. A length of the energizing path from one electrode terminal to the other electrode terminal is longer than a diameter of the honeycomb structure.

Methods and devices for producing a composite pane having a functional coating are presented. The functional coating is applied to part of a surface of a base pane, and a first pane is cut out from the base pane while introducing a frame-shaped peripheral coating-free region into the functional coating having an inner region that is not adjacent a side edge of the first pane. The surface of the first pane with the functional coating is then bonded via a thermoplastic intermediate layer to a surface of a second pane.

The present invention relates to devices that pre-warm topical preparation intended for application to skin. Specifically, the present invention relates to devices that pre-warm a premeasured amount of a topical preparation from a larger source without warming the full source.

An electric heating device includes a housing with a partition wall which separates a connection chamber from a heating chamber for emitting heat. At least one heating assembly housing projects from the partition wall in the direction of the heating chamber. The heating assembly housing supports at least one PTC element and strip conductors in an electrically insulated manner A housing wall projecting from the partition wall and delimiting the connection chamber and/or the heating chamber and/or the heating assembly housing is connected to the partition wall by material bonding, which may be by induction soldering. Also disclosed is a method of making an electric heating device.

An electrostatic chuck heater 20 includes an electrostatic chuck 22, a sheet heater 30, and a support pedestal 60. The electrostatic chuck 22 is obtained by embedding an electrostatic electrode 24 in a ceramic sintered body 26. The sheet heater 30 is a resin sheet 32 having a plurality of correction heater electrodes 34 and a plurality of base heater electrodes 44. A first surface of the sheet heater 30 is resin-bonded to the electrostatic chuck 22, and a second surface of the sheet heater 30 is resin-bonded to the support pedestal 60 made of metal.
