The adaptive temperature controller (10) includes a device for measuring resistance, an electrically-conductive material (50), a power supply (11), and a device for controlling power (12). In operation, the controller (10) determines the resistance of material (50) at one or more temperatures and therefore determines the resistance of the material (50) through a range of operating temperature. Based on such determination so long as voltage and power are known, the resistance of the material (50), and therefore its temperature, are known. As a result the voltage or power may be instantly varied to produce near infinite control over material temperature. |
