Abstract: Heating systems, methods for manufacturing heating systems, and methods for using heating systems are provided. A heating system includes a nano-layer a first polymer layer contacting and extending along a first side of the nano-layer, and a second polymer layer contacting and extending along a second side of the nano-layer. The seat heater also includes lead wires connected between the nano-layer and a heater control system operatively connected to a power supply. The control system may be controlled using an application programming interface running on a mobile electronic device. The nano-layer, the first polymer layer, and the second polymer layer form a flexible sheet that is attached to or incorporated in an item to be heated.

Abstract: Seat heaters, methods for manufacturing seat heaters, and methods for using seat heaters are provided. A seat heater for use in a vehicle seat includes a graphene-containing electrothermal layer, a first polymer layer contacting and extending along a first side of the graphene-containing electrothermal layer, and a second polymer layer contacting and extending along a second side of the graphene-containing electrothermal layer. The seat heater also includes lead wires connected between the graphene-containing electrothermal layer and a heater control system operatively connected to a power supply. The control system may be controlled using an application programming interface running on a mobile electronic device. The graphene-containing electrothermal layer, the first polymer layer, and the second polymer layer form a flexible sheet that is disposed under a cover of a vehicle seat.

Abstract: A brake apparatus including a bicycle structure, a first arm pivotably coupled to the bicycle structure, and a second arm pivotably coupled to the bicycle structure. A first lever can be pivotably coupled to the first arm. A quick release cam link can be pivotably coupled to the second arm. A second lever can be pivotably coupled to the first lever and pivotably coupled to the quick release cam link.
