- 1. Surface heating with a carrier and a heating layer, which contains electrically conductive plastic, characterized in that the heating layer is formed by a flexible film and that the carrier is flexible.
- 19. Method for the production of a surface heating, wherein a heating layer with electrically conductive plastic is bound with a carrier, characterized in that the heating layer is formed by first applying an electrically conductive, in particular, foaming or foam-plastic material on the carrier and the curing the plastic material on the carrier.
- 21. Method for the production of a surface heating, wherein a heating layer with electrically conductive foam is bound with a carrier, characterized in that the heating layer is produced from an electrically conductive, in particular, foaming or foam-plastic material and is then affixed on the carrier.
- 28. Seat occupancy recognition, characterized in that elements made of electrically conductive plastic are contained.
-
33. Seat occupancy recognition method, characterized in that a resistance change is detected in an electrically conductive plastic material as a result of a weight loading of the material.
