  • Patent number: 7248791
    Abstract: A tank heater control that will control a heater used for heating pressurised tanks over a broad range of temperatures. The system uses a sensor for providing a signal to a processor, in which the signal is indicative of flow of gas from the tank. The processor energizes the heater when gas flows from the tank. In various embodiments, the sensor may be a flow sensor on an outlet from the tank, temperature sensors that detect a difference in temperature of the tank from ambient temperature, or a pressure sensor on an outlet from the tank.

  • Patent number: 5874712
    Abstract: A flexible electric heater may be formed from multiple congruent planar layers secured to one another to form a laminate in a variety of configurations. A junction box is adhered to the planar layers over an opening in an outer layer. An adhesive catchment area in the laminate is filled with adhesive, and the adhesive extends into the junction box where it fills a second adhesive catchment area. The mass of continuous adhesive thus formed seals and bonds the junction box to the flexible planar layers. Conductors from the electrical heater pass through the adhesive and may be strain relieved.
