Abstract: The present invention is directed to personal heating devices, known as heated packs. Heated packs of the invention include a frame and a heating assembly disposed within the frame. The heating assembly may include a heating panel, an intelligent circuit, and a battery. In certain embodiments, one or more sides of the frame include a material configured to absorb heat or release heat in response to the energy outputted by the heating assembly. In further embodiments, the intelligent circuit is configured to change the temperature of the heating pack based a sensory input received by a user.

Abstract: A heated insole for a shoe has an insole body, a heating element, and a removable assembly. The insole body has a recess, and the heating element delivers heat to at least a portion of the insole body. The removable assembly is removable from and insertable into the recess of the insole body, and includes a battery and a control circuit that is configured to control heating of the heating element.

Abstract: A battery for use with a heated insole has a cushion portion on top of the battery to provide comfort when the battery is disposed within the insole.

Abstract: An efficient system to heat the insole of a heated insole of a shoe in which the Intelligent Circuit (IC) for a flat lithium battery is located outside the shoe and the placement of the heater for the insole is between more efficient heat insulation and heat conducting members.

Abstract: An assembly for inclusion in a heated insole has a heating member and a frame. The frame has a connector that allows a person to couple a battery to and decouple the battery from the heating member.

Abstract: A shoe has a heated insole with a battery-receiving portion. A battery is insertable into and removable from the battery-receiving portion of the shoe's insole while the insole is disposed within the shoe.
