Abstract:

A body warming device (10) for warming a user's feet during sedentary activities and a user's hands during substantially any selected activity. A shell member (26) is provided for covering the selected portion of the user's body to be warmed. A heat source receptacle (14) is provided for receiving and retaining a heat source (16). A closure (18) is provided for selectively closing the heat source receptacle (14) in order to prevent the unselected removal of the heat source (16). Insulation (20) is provided between the shell member (26) and the heat source receptacle (14) for regulating the temperature within the shell member (26). The insulation (20) is non-migratory to maintain an even distribution. A lining member (22) may be incorporated to cover the insulation (20). An edging member (24) may be provided for protecting the edges of the panel members (28), the lining (22), and the insulation (20).

Abstract:

A method for producing a film, the method comprising melting a layer of precursor particles on a substrate until at least a portion of the melted particles are planarized and merged to produce the film. The invention is also directed to a method for producing a photovoltaic film, the method comprising depositing particles having a photovoltaic or other property onto a substrate, and affixing the particles to the substrate, wherein the particles may or may not be subsequently melted. Also described herein are films produced by these methods, methods for producing a patterned film on a substrate, and methods for producing a multilayer structure.
