Abstract: A seat heater for a motor vehicle is shown and described. An electronic controller receives input signals from a manual switch controlling separate seat and seatback heating elements. One type of signal, such as that resulting from one depression of the switch, effects energizing of both seat and also seatback heating elements. A second type of signal, such as two depressions of the switch, effects energizing of only the seatback heating element. The input signals provide operating power to the electronic controller. Optionally, energizing of the seatback heating element may be stopped should any other pattern of switch operation occur. Optionally, energizing of only the seatback heating element may be indicated audibly, visibly, or both. Optionally, energizing of only the seatback heating element may be limited to a predetermined time interval.

Abstract: A temperature adjustment control device includes a heat diffusion layer, a heat flux sensor, and a temperature changing body provided in this order from a surface making contact with a human body. The heat flux sensor is disposed on the temperature changing body and outputs a sensor signal corresponding to a heat flux. The heat diffusion layer is disposed opposite to the temperature changing body through the heat flux sensor. The heat flux sensor outputs the sensor signal corresponding to the heat flux passing through the heat flux sensor in a direction in which the heat diffusion layer, the heat flux sensor, and the temperature changing body are arranged. A control portion controls a start and a stop of the power supply to the temperature changing body based on the sensor signal outputted from the heat flux sensor.

Abstract: In at least some implementations, a heating apparatus includes a first temperature control source having a first substrate and a first heating element that is coupled to the first substrate, and a second temperature control source having a second substrate, and a second heating element that is coupled to the second substrate. The first and second heating elements are coupled electrically in series with one another. The first heating element may be sewn to the first substrate, and the second heating element may be sewn to the second substrate. An electrical circuit may be defined that includes a single current loop, wherein the first and second heating elements are coupled electrically in series with one another using one or more electrical connection segments.

Abstract: A heater element having an electrically insulating substrate, a buss layer made of a conductive material, and a resistive layer that includes a first patch of a first resistive material. The first buss layer has a first buss and a second buss extending from terminals of the heater element to a heating area of the heater element. The first resistive material is applied in a first selected location in the heating area so as to provide electrical communication between the first buss and the second buss and to enable an electrical current to flow through the first resistive material. The resistive layer includes a second patch of a second resistive material. The second patch is applied in a second selected location in the heating area so as to provide electrical communication between the first buss and the second buss, the second selected location being different from the first selected location.
