View Edit Delete	US7230213A1	Claim 23.The system of claim 20, further comprising a temperature controller coupled to the electrical heating element and configured to sense a temperature value and control the power supplied to the electrical heating element in response to the temperature value.	136	Added by DJM 2 2021	2/22/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	US7230213A1	The modular heated cover is disclosed with a first pliable outer layer and a second pliable outer layer, wherein the outer layers provide durable protection in an outdoor environment, an electrical heating element between the first and the second outer layers, the electrical heating element configured to convert electrical energy to heat energy, and a thermal insulation layer positioned above the active electrical heating element. Beneficially, such a device provides radiant heat, weather isolation, temperature insulation, and solar heat absorption efficiently and cost effectively. The modular heated cover quickly and efficiently removes ice, snow, and frost from surfaces, and penetrates soil and other material to thaw the material to a suitable depth. A plurality of modular heated covers can be connected on a single 120 Volt circuit protected by a 20 Amp breaker.	137	Added by DJM 2 2021	2/22/21, 12:00 AM

View Edit Delete	US7230213A1	In an embodiment such as that illustrated in FIG. 9, the graphite 910 may be about 9 inches wide and 5 thousandths of an inch thick with a separating distance 818 for lengths 816 of about ¾ of an inch. Consequently, the resistance for the whole cover 900 may come to about 19 ohms. The cover 900 is designed to connect to a 120 volt circuit. With a drop in resistance of about 0.5 ohms as the graphite elements 904 heat up, the resulting current draw gradually moves from about 6.3 Amps (120 volts/19 ohms=6.3 Amps when first connected to the power source) to about 6.5 Amps (120 volts/18.5 ohms=6.5 Amps when maximum temperature is reached).	95	Added by DJM 2 2021	2/22/21, 12:00 AM
