Abstract
A personal temperature regulating device, comprising: a wearable garment and a temperature regulating subassembly coupled to the wearable garment. The temperature regulating subassembly comprising a temperature regulating membrane and a control module. The temperature regulating membrane comprising at least one temperature regulating subcomponent, wherein the at least one temperature regulating subcomponent is configured to alter a body temperature of a user.
Claims20
A personal temperature regulating device, comprising:
- a wearable garment;
- and
- a temperature regulating subassembly coupled to the wearable garment, the temperature regulating subassembly comprising a temperature regulating membrane and a control module, the temperature regulating membrane comprising at least one temperature regulating subcomponent, wherein the at least one temperature regulating subcomponent is configured to alter a body temperature of a user.
A temperature regulating membrane, comprising:
- a plurality of temperature regulating subcomponents, wherein the plurality of temperature regulating subcomponents are flexibly mechanically interconnected, the plurality of temperature regulating subcomponents each comprising:
- a top plate;
- a heat sink disposed on a surface of the top plate;
- a plurality of bottom bus bars disposed on a surface of the heat sink;
- a plurality of semiconductive members disposed on a surface of the plurality of bottom bus bars, wherein each bottom bus bar of the plurality of bottom bus bars electrically couples two semiconductive members of the plurality of semiconductive members;
- a plurality of top bus bars disposed on a surface the plurality of semiconductive members, wherein each top bus bar of the plurality of top bus bars electrically couples two semiconductive members of the plurality of semiconductive members;
- and
- a frame supporting and positioning the plurality of bottom bus bars, the plurality of semiconductive members, and the plurality of top bus bars.
A method regulating the temperature of a user with a personal temperature regulating device comprising:
- detecting a body temperature of a user wearing the personal temperature regulating device with a sensor of the personal temperature regulating device;
- determining the body temperature is different than a setting, wherein the setting is set by a control module of the personal temperature regulating device;
- and
- supplying an amount of power into one or more temperature regulating subcomponents of a temperature regulating membrane of the personal temperature regulating device, wherein the amount of power is based on a difference between the body temperature and the setting, and wherein the amount of power alters a surface temperature of a first side of the one or more temperature regulating subcomponents to alter the body temperature of the user.
