DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE RESPONSE TIME OF A TEMPERATURE CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a. a temperature controlled device;
b. a primary energy source;
c. an electronic device, an electro-mechanical device, or both comprising;
i. a secondary energy source;
ii. a switching device;
iii. a measuring device; and
iv. optionally a controller;
wherein the temperature controlled device is connected to the secondary energy source when the temperature controlled device is turned on;
wherein the measuring device measures a predetermined condition, and the switching device switches from the secondary energy source to the primary energy source when the temperature controlled device achieves the predetermined condition; and
wherein the predetermined condition is achieved in about 60 seconds or less.

11. A method comprising:
-
a. applying a secondary energy source to a temperature controlled device in a system; b. monitoring one or more conditions of the temperature controlled device; c. disconnecting the temperature controlled device from the secondary energy source when the one or more of the conditions achieves a predetermined value; d. connecting the temperature controlled device to a primary energy source so that the temperature controlled device continues to control temperature; wherein temperature controlled device are disconnected from the secondary energy source after about 60 seconds or less; and wherein the temperature controlled device is a self-regulating heating device;
the temperature controlled device is connected to a controller that regulates the temperature of the temperature controlled device;
or a combination of both so that when the temperature controlled device is connected to the primary energy source the temperature controlled device maintains a pre-set temperature, a user selected temperature, or both. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
