Publication number: 20230070713Abstract: A heater for a stovetop heater unit is disclosed. The heater may reduce false detections of an overheat condition, minimize an impact of radiative heat from a heating element of the heater on temperature measurements of the heater, and accurately measure a temperature of an object placed on the heater. Thus, the heater may reduce an amount of time required to heat an object placed on the heater.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Jose Jesus Reyes Soto, Jose Amparo Lopez, JR., Maurizio Francesco Pasqual, Alfredo Cuevas Morales
