A heater assembly is disclosed herein. The heater assembly may comprise a tubular body. The tubular body may include a graphite core disposed in a heating path. The graphite core may be coated with an overcoat layer. The tubular body may include slits that may cut-off heat transfer between portions of the tubular body. The heater assembly may have a configuration comprising a plurality of heating rungs having a predominant portion disposed substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of the heater so that the predominant portion is disposed vertically. The heater assembly may include a flange at a first end and a lip at a second end. The heater assembly configuration provides a heater that exhibits reduced thermal stress and/or reduced CTE mismatch stress particularly compared to other designs.

An armrest according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a case including a passage which guides a flow of air while the air is introduced and discharged and a through-hole which is formed via the passage to allow the air to be discharged outward, a fan located inside the case and by which the air is introduced and discharged through the passage, a heating element configured to supply heat to the air discharged by the fan and an outer surface of the case, and a supporter configured to support an external force applied to the case in at least two directions to keep a shape of the case.

Systems and methods to improve an industrial heater are disclosed. The heater comprises a horizontal cylinder oriented parallel to the ground and may encase an interior recess running the length of the heater. The heater may be divided into a plurality of sections or zones. One or more mid-rings may support the structure of the heater, and may be disposed at the intersections of adjacent sections or zones. A plurality of interior boards and/or insulation layers may line the interior façade, and may be configured to overlap each other and/or interlock together. The interlocking structure may be absent of any gap or space to prevent heat loss from the interior recess. One or more heat strips may be configured in a sinusoidal pattern. The strips may be mirrored on the opposite side of the interior recess, and may be configured to elongate in the direction opposite of gravity.

A silicon heating mat, the mat being formable and deformable and including a matrix made of elastic material, in which at least one cavity is arranged that fully passes through the matrix, the at least one cavity being intended to accommodate a resistive filament connected to a heating cycles management unit. Furthermore, the at least one cavity has an undulating layout, with each resistive filament being able to move inside said at least one cavity, and each resistive filament having a zigzag or spiral shape.

A glove for heating a hand comprises an upper section and a lower section wherein the upper section comprises in order a first outer protective layer comprising a first fabric or first leather skin, a heating pad, a second fabric, a temperature measuring device located on the inner surface of the second fabric, an electronic module located on the outer surface of the outer protective layer, wherein the heating pad comprises a fabric of staple fibers of pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile and p-aramid and at least one conductive wire extending from the electronic module over at least part of the outer surface of the heating pad, the conductive wire being held in place on the inner surface of the heating pad by a fixing means. and the lower section comprises a second outer protective layer comprising a third fabric of continuous filament or staple fibers or a second leather skin.

Provided are a plate type heater and a vapor deposition apparatus including the same including: a ceramic plate substrate; a heating wire layer located on the inside or on an upper surface of the ceramic plate substrate; a power supply line; and a bridge located on the heating wire layer and connecting the heating wire and the power supply line, wherein the bridge connects the heating wire and the power supply line by curving a bridge material having a length of 1.2 to 5 times based on the shortest distance between the heating wire and the power supply line.

An atomization assembly includes a heating assembly, a cover, a base and an electrode. The heating assembly includes a heating element and a support. A compartment is disposed on one of the cover and the base and is open towards the other one of the cover and the base. The heating assembly is disposed in the compartment. The heating element is transversely integrated with the top of the support to be supported by the support. The heating assembly is sandwiched between the cover and the base. The heating element includes a main part used for heating and atomizing liquid and an electrical connection part connected to the main part. The electrical connection part is bent from the top of the support to one side of the support. The electrode is in contact with the portion, bent to one side of the support, of the electrical connection part.

A portable, lightweight, insulated, and heated storage device is provided. The heated storage device is movable between a closed condition adapted to maintain stored items therein at a predetermined temperature and an open condition for externally radiating heat. In one embodiment, the heated storage device may be a heating sack adapted to unfurl from the closed condition storing a sleeping bag or the like to the open condition as a flat, heated blanket, externally radiating heat.

A vehicle door interior trim assembly includes a trim panel and an armrest supported by the trim panel. The armrest includes an energy absorbing device. The energy absorbing device includes an inboard panel and an outboard panel. The outboard panel is between the inboard panel and the trim panel. The energy absorbing device has a variable crush resistance based on a temperature of the energy absorbing device. A heater is operatively coupled to the energy absorbing device.
