    Abstract: A thermoelectric battery system includes a heat pump configured to generate heat. A buffer tank is thermally coupled to the heat pump and configured to store the generated heat in boiler water. A thermal battery is thermally coupled to the buffer tank. The thermal battery provides at least one of hot water for domestic use, hydro-heating, or hydro-cooling. The first thermal battery includes: an inner tank configured to contain a portion of boiler water and an outer tank containing a phase change material. The outer tank surrounds the inner tank and is separated therefrom by a thermally conductive wall. The outer tank is configured to supply heat to the inner tank. A heat exchanger disposed in the inner tank is configured to heat potable water flowing therethrough to enable potable water to be heated by boiler water to produce domestic hot water.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing a temperature difference between the sides of a Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG) for generating electrical power are described. Water is used to saturate a wicking material in thermal communication with at least one thermal conductor, such as metal tubing or wires, whereby one side of the TEG is cooled by the reduction of heat caused by the evaporation of the liquid from the material, and transferred to the TEG by the at least one thermal conductor. The other side of the TEG is maintained in a dry condition, and exposed to ambient conditions, thereby remaining at ambient temperature and, as a result, containing more heat than the cooled side.

    Abstract: A system includes a display panel, a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the display panel, a thermoelectric device coupled to the display panel and configured to transfer heat to or from the display panel, and a controller electrically coupled to the temperature sensor and the thermoelectric device. The controller is configured to receive the measured temperature of the display panel and, based on the measured temperature of the display panel, send a second signal to the thermoelectric device to cause the thermoelectric device to remove a first quantity of heat from the display panel or send a third signal to the thermoelectric device to cause the thermoelectric device to provide a second quantity of heat to the display panel.

    Abstract: In many heated and cooled surface applications, such as in automotive seating, a layer of compressible comfort material, usually foam, covers the hard seat frame materials along with hiding all the components underneath. The comfort material generally acts as a thermal insulator, ruining the efficiency of the heating or cooling to the seat occupant. An improvement is made for transferring significantly greater amounts of heat and/or coolness through the foam layer to the occupant. A woven thermally conductive layer for more evenly and efficiently distributing heat and or cooling across a surface, includes a thermal engine capable of generating heat and coolness in thermal communication with a compressible comfort material having a plurality of flexible sheeted thermally conductive strips interwoven through the compressible comfort material. The flexible sheeted thermally conductive strips are thermally coupled to the source of thermal modulation and distributed across any desired portion of the surface.

    Abstract: A sensing platform comprises a semiconductor junction, in particular a SiC/Si heterojunction, with a pair of electrodes located on a surface of an upper layer of the semiconductor junction in a spaced apart relationship. The sensing platform comprises a light source above the surface of the upper layer to illuminate a part of the surface of the semiconductor junction comprising at least part of one of the electrodes to create a lateral potential gradient between the pair of electrodes through the photovoltaic effect in the semiconductor. Parameters, such as force and temperature, are detected based on measuring a change in electrical resistance of the semiconductor material due to the piezoresistive effect and/or the thermoresistive effect. An external potential difference can be applied between the pair of electrodes to create a tuning current to modulate the piezoresistive and thermoresistive effects in the semiconductor junction. The sensing platform is used for highly sensitive force sensors and highly sensitive temperature sensors.
