Disclosed are various thermoelectric heaters. A thermal transfer component has a first plate attached to a second plate. A heating channel is formed by at least one of the first plate or the second plate of the thermal transfer component. The heating channel is between the first plate and the second plate of the thermal transfer component. A heating element is within the heating channel.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable IR emitters to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR emitters in a sauna.

A system and method for protecting a foundation wall having an external side surface facing towards a soil and sitting on a top surface of a footing. The system includes a solid joint, adapted to be located adjacent and along an intersection of the side and top surfaces, that entirely and sealably covers the intersection and a lower portion of the side surface adjacent the intersection and at least a proximal portion of an external ledge of the top surface adjacent the intersection. The joint defines a free surface angled relative to both the external side surface and the top surface. In a cross section of the joint, the free surface, the lower portion and the at least a proximal portion form a triangular shape. A heating device extends along the joint and inside the triangular shape to selectively dissipate heat into the joint.

Provided is a candle warmer having mobile communication and external interface functions, and more specifically, to a candle warmer having mobile communication and external interface functions, which prevents malfunction of the candle warmer in advance by setting operation information of the candle warmer in advance, is monitored through a smart device to realize an operation selected by a user and includes a remote controller interface function to improve user convenience.

The present invention is a plush heat up runner with features including: Bluetooth smart app, voice control, lights, timer auto turn off, and battery powered. Heating coils are inside the runner to provide warmth to the user and also facilitate safety against spills and pet damage. The heat up runner suctions to the floor to resist shifting while a person walks on it. A user may control settings on the runner by using the accompanying app or the voice control feature. A method includes straightening a single scroll for heating via a substrate having a length, a width and a thickness, the substrate initially rolled up into a single scroll. The method also includes running a scrollable grid of internal heating coils, having an angular relation to each other, along a portion of the length and a portion of the width of the substrate within the thickness of the substrate.

A heating control system is provided for a multi-occupancy building. The heating control system uses a plurality of mobile devices, for example mobile telephones or tablet computers, which connect to a multiple-access-point wireless data network within the building. The wireless access points provide a controller with details of devices connected to each access point, so that occupancy of each heating zone can be estimated. The mobile devices can be used by occupants to send messages to the controller requesting increases or decreases in temperature. In this way, the temperature of heating zones within the building may be regulated taking into account the preferences of all occupants.

An apparatus may include an enclosure that includes a plurality of mounting features that are configured to receive information handling systems; one or more environmental sensors configured to determine environmental conditions associated with the enclosure; a position sensor configured to determine a geodetic location of the enclosure; a heater configured to heat the enclosure; and a heater control system. The heater control system may be configured to: receive information regarding an origin for the enclosure, a destination for the enclosure, and a desired destination temperature for the enclosure; establish a model for the enclosure, wherein the model incorporates data from the one or more environmental sensors and data from the position sensor; and based on the model, predictively determining control parameters for the heater configured to cause the enclosure to reach the desired destination temperature at or before a time of arrival at the destination.

Provided is a candle warmer having mobile communication and external interface functions, and more specifically, to a candle warmer having mobile communication and external interface functions, which prevents malfunction of the candle warmer in advance by setting operation information of the candle warmer in advance, is monitored through a smart device to realize an operation selected by a user and includes a remote controller interface function to improve user convenience.

A power control system includes: a power generation device; and a storage battery that receives and stores power from a commercial power system or the power generation device. When power supply from the commercial power system is stopped, constant power is output from the power generation device, and the power is supplied to a first load, and surplus power thereof is supplied to the storage battery, and when a power storage rate of the storage battery is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the surplus power is supplied to and consumed by a second load.
