1. An adaptive temperature controller for use with an electrically-conductive material to heat a system component, comprising:

  • a device for measuring resistance,said device for measuring resistance recording measurement of two members of the group consisting of power, current and voltage;

    said device for measuring resistance determining resistance of said electrically-conductive material by application of Ohm'"'"'s Law to said two members of the group consisting of power, current and voltage;

    a power supply,said power supply in electrical communication with said electrically-conductive material;

    said electrically-conductive material altering temperature based on said electrical communication from said power supply;

    a device for controlling the output of said power supply,said device for measuring resistance outputting said determination of the resistance of said electrically-conductive material to said device for controlling the output of said power supply;

    said device for controlling the output of said power supply determining the thermal coefficient of resistance of said electrically-conductive material based on the output of said device for measuring resistance and a temperature input; and

    said device for controlling the output of said power supply controlling the temperature of said electrically-conductive material based on the output of one of the group of power, voltage or current.
