Abstract
A method includes: emitting, by a controller, a stimulus at a heating surface of a heater assembly, the stimulus causing a disturbance to a predetermined temperature of the heating surface, wherein the heater assembly has the heating surface and a plurality of heating elements for heating a heating target; receiving, by a control system from the controller, stimulus information; and controlling, by the control system, the heater assembly to maintain a predetermined temperature profile on the heating surface based on the stimulus information from the controller.
