A hair perming device and its temperature control circuit are disclosed. The temperature control circuit for a hair perming device is electrically connected with a heater of the hair penning device and comprises a main control module and a trigger module. The main control module controls the trigger module to be switched on such that a control signal outputted by the main control module can be sent to the heater for heating, and meanwhile for detects a working state of the trigger module. When a failure of the trigger module is detected, the main control module controls the trigger module to be switched off such that a continuous heating of the heater is stopped. When a failure of the trigger module is detected, the electrical power supply path of the heater is disconnected, and a continuous heating of the heater is stopped for avoiding excessive high temperature.

A liquid lens system includes a liquid lens and a heating device disposed in, on, or near the liquid lens. The liquid lens system can include a temperature sensor. The heating device can be responsive to a temperature signal generated by the temperature sensor. A camera module can include the liquid lens system. A method of operating a liquid lens includes detecting a temperature of the liquid lens and heating the liquid lens in response to the detected temperature. Various embodiments disclosed herein can reduce, impede, or prevent crosstalk between components of the liquid lens, or the effects thereof.

A system includes at least one capacitor comprising a dielectric material having a Curie temperature, each capacitor exhibiting an increased capacitance at a temperature below the Curie temperature and exhibiting a decreased capacitance at a temperature above the Curie temperature, a liquid source positioned adjacent to the capacitor and having a temperature above the Curie temperature, and means for exposing the capacitor to the liquid source for a predetermined time so the temperature of the dielectric material exceeds the Curie temperature, at which point the capacitance decreases. A voltage storage is connected to the capacitors to capture the increased voltage discharged from the capacitors. The capacitors are then removed from the liquid source and cooled. The capacitors may iteratively be recharged, exposed to the liquid source until their temperature exceeds the Curie temperature, connected to the voltage storage, removed from the liquid source, and cooled.

Systems and methods for two-axis pointing of payloads are provided. A two-axis pointing system includes a pedestal, a support plate mounted to the pedestal by a connection which allows movement of the support plate in at least two rotational degrees of freedom, a payload mounted to the support plate, a first rotary actuator physically connected to the support plate and operable to move the support plate along a first of the rotational degrees of freedom, a second rotary actuator physically connected to the support plate and operable to move the support plate along a second of the rotational degrees of freedom, a baseplate, wherein the pedestal, the first rotary actuator, and the second rotary actuator are fixed to the baseplate, a plurality of harnesses for supplying at least one of power and telemetry for actuation of the system, and a thermal control system integrated with the support plate.
