A carbon composite composition and a carbon heater are provided. The carbon composite composition may include a phenolic resin as a binder, a lubricant, and a base material that determines a specific resistance of a resistance heating element at a high temperature. The carbon composite composition may prevent a dielectric breakdown, a spark and plasma from occurring in a carbon heater, and may improve radiation efficiency of the carbon heater.

A device having: an article having a flat surface and a lower surface opposed to the flat surface; a cavity formed in the lower surface forming a complete loop surrounding a central portion of the article; a heating element having the same shape as the complete loop in the cavity and positioned to warm a portion of the flat surface adjacent to the heating element when the heating element is activated; a cooling device positioned to cool a portion of the flat surface in the central portion; and a release layer on the flat surface. A device having: an article having an upper surface; a heating element on the upper surface forming a complete loop surrounding a central portion of the article; and an electrically insulating material on the upper surface within the central portion.

A cylindrical heating unit of an exhaust gas processing device is installed in a reactor. The cylindrical heating unit is provided with an exhaust gas introduction port provided in an insertion base part and a heated exhaust gas outlet provided at insertion end. The cylindrical heating unit includes a hollow cylinder, insulators, electric heaters, and holding members. The hollow cylinder has a double structure with an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder made of metal. A plurality of the insulators surround the inner cylinder and are provided at intervals from each other in a heater installation space between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. Electric heaters are mounted to the insulators. The holding members are attached to one of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder or both and hold the insulators in the heater installation space.

In an aspect, data representative of an electrical value is received and a target value for an inductive load based on the electrical value is accessed from memory of the controller. A target value for an inductive load can be accessed based on the electrical value. A transfer function based algorithm can be implemented for determining a set point value using the electrical value the set point value can be applied on a triode for alternating current (TRIAC). Operation of the inductive load to the target power responsive to the applying of the set point value on the TRIAC can be adjusted. The operation of the inductive load at the target power causes operation of the inductive load at the target value.

According to the present invention, provided is a heater including a heat generating member being conductive and configured to radiate heat rays by being fed with electric power, a tubular member constituted by a metal and accommodating the heat generating member, and an intermediate member arranged between the heat generating member and the tubular member and constituted by an electrically insulating material, wherein the intermediate member is arranged and/or configured to allow, among the heat rays radiated from the heat generating member, at least light having a wavelength of from 1 m to 2 m to pass through the intermediate member to reach the tubular member.
