Disclosed is a portable radiant heating device that has a base, a radiant heat source mounted in a tiltable reflector, and a safety interlock device located in the base. The safety interlock uses a pressure-sensitive foot that prevents the heater from producing infrared heat when not in contact with a mounting surface. The safety interlock device also prevents the heater from producing infrared heat when the reflector is not tilted so as to prevent excessive amounts of infrared heat from being directed towards the mounting surface.

Further, each of the base panel (30), the back panel (32) and the at least one side panel (34) can be manufactured and installed independently of one another. The fireplace housing (12) can further include a front frame (236) that is manufactured and installed independently of each of the base panel (30), the back panel (32) and the at least one side panel (34). Still further, at least one of the back panel (32) and the at least one side panel (34) can be foldable.

A temperature control device for arrangement on a surface to be tempered, having an upper part, a lower part, an electrical connection and at least one first tempering element in connection with the electrical connection. The lower part is designed for engagement with the upper part such that a surface pressure can be provided with the upper part and the lower part in the orthogonal direction to an upper side and a lower side of the first tempering element for surface coupling of the lower part to the surface to be tempered. The temperature control device can be fastened longitudinally displaceably to the surface to be tempered in such a way that a change in length of the temperature control device in the longitudinal direction of the temperature control device can be accommodated.

The present application is disclosed an atomizing component and an electronic cigarette. The atomizing component comprises a light-permeable e-liquid storage sleeve. An atomizing core is detachably connected to an end of the e-liquid storage sleeve. A fastening element for restricting radial expansion of the e-liquid storage sleeve is sleeved at where the e-liquid storage sleeve is insertedly connected to the atomizing core. An end of a ventilation pipe opposite to the atomizing core is a smoke emitting outlet in communication with a suction nozzle. An e-liquid filler hole is extended from the end of the ventilation pipe provided with the smoke emitting outlet. The smoke emitting outlet and the e-liquid filler hole are located on planes of different heights; while e-liquid is being added, the outer circumferential wall of the ventilation pipe blocks the e-liquid splashed accidentally, thus preventing the e-liquid from being splashed into the ventilation pipe.

A fluid permeable heater assembly for aerosol-generating systems includes an electrically conductive flat filament arrangement and a first contact point and a second contact point for electrically contacting the flat filament arrangement. A longitudinal axis is defined between the first contact point and the second contact point. A center resistance Rc is the electrical resistance between two points situated on the longitudinal axis. One of the two points is situated at a distance from the first contact point equal to about 40 percent and the other one of the two points being situated at a distance from the first contact point equal to about 60 percent.

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 panel including a thermally conductive (e.g. metal) layer, a laminar heating element disposed over a framing-facing side of the thermally conductive layer, an insulation layer disposed over the laminar heating element, and a room-facing surface layer disposed over at least the room-facing side of the thermally conductive layer. A method for heating a room may include installing at least one heating panel on a ceiling of the room and providing power to the heating element to generate heat that radiates into the room. The panel may be part of a heating system including a controller, such as a thermostat, for regulating power to the heating panel. A plurality of heating panels or a plurality of heating zones in one or more of the panels may be independently controllable.
