A pane with an electrical heating region is presented. The pane has a substantially trapezoidal first pane, an electrically conductive coating applied on part of a surface of the first pane, a substantially trapezoidal electrical heating region that is electrically divided from the electrically conductive coating by a separating line, and two collecting conductors connected to the electrically conductive coating in the electrical heating region.

A transparent pane having at least one heatable, electrically conductive coating is presented. Application of a supply voltage causes a heating current to flow over a heating field. The heating field contains at least one coating-free zone.

The invention relates to glazing having a conductive coating having one or more data transmission windows for transmitting data to/from electronic devices in a vehicle, in which a deletion line surrounds the data transmission window. The deletion line defines first and second regions of the conductive coating. The first region comprises an electrically heated region and first and second busbars for supplying electrical power. The second region comprises at least one data transmission window. The second region may be electrically isolated from the second busbar so that the second region cannot be electrically heated.

A heating film may include a base layer made of polymer resin, a plurality of electrode lines spaced from each other and disposed on the base layer, a mesh-type support layer disposed between the electrode lines and made of a thermally conductive material, and a heating layer that has first and second end portions connected to the respective electrode lines, is made of a carbon composite material, and generates heat when powered.

A transparent pane, having at least one heatable, electrically conductive coating connected to at least two collection electrodes, provided for electrically connecting to a supply voltage to generate a heating current that flows across a heating field formed between the at least two collection electrodes is described. The heating field includes at least one communication window free from the heatable, electrically conductive coating. The transparent pane further includes at least one heatable, electrically conductive coating. The additional electrode is connected to one of the two collection electrodes via a respective current supply line.

The present invention relates to a windshield to which an information acquisition device configured to acquire information from the outside of a vehicle by emitting and/or receiving light is attachable via a bracket, the windshield including: a glass module that includes a glass body having an information acquisition region through which the light passes; a sheet-shaped heating element that is attached to a surface on a vehicle interior side of the glass body and is not rectangular; and a power supply part configured to supply power to the heating element.

A vaporizer device including a vaporizer cartridge configured to efficiently and effectively heat a non-liquid vaporizable material is described. The vaporizer cartridge may include a heating element configured to vaporize the vaporizable material by delivery of heat to the vaporizable material. The cartridge may include a cartridge contact in electrical communication with the heating element. The cartridge contact may be configured to couple to a receptacle contact along a vaporizer body of the vaporizer device having a power source to allow power to pass from the power source to the heating element. The heating element can include electrically resistive features such that current traveling along the heating element can cause the heating element to increase in temperature to within a desired temperature range. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

A vaporizer heating element has a heating element body formed from a single sheet of electrically conductive material having a constant sheet thickness. A peripheral conduction portion has spaced apart positive and negative support arms each having an interior edge. A central heating portion has a plurality of parallel heating strips, spaces between the heating strips defining flow channels through the element body. The central heating portion is intermediate the interior edges of the support arms. A first bridge strip connects the interior edge of the positive support arm to the central heating portion and a second bridge strip connects the interior edge of the negative support arm to the central heating portion. A plurality of peripheral support tabs extend from exterior edges of the support arms and a plurality of central support tabs extend from the central heating portion.

This disclosure details windshield heating systems for induction heating windshield camera viewing zones. An exemplary windshield heating system may include a first inductive heating element imbedded within a thermoplastic layer of the windshield and a second inductive heating element mounted between a glass layer of the windshield and a camera bracket. The first and second inductive heating elements establish a wireless connection for heating the camera viewing zone of the windshield.
