DEVICE FOR ACTIVE HEATING OF TRANSPARENT MATERIALS
摘要
<p>A device for removing condensate from a surface of a transparent material is disclosed. The device uses a power supply to conduct an electrical current through and thereby heat a transparent thermo-resistive element embedded within the transparent material. As the transparent thermo-resistive element is heated, heat transfers to a surface of the transparent material, thereby heating such surface to a temperature above the dew point of the condensing liquid which in turn prevents fogging on the surface of the transparent material. Embodiments of the present invention have utility in performance eyewear where fogging has the potential to reduce visibility.</p>
