Problems solved by technology

[0017] 2) Individuals, such as machinists, are required to repeatedly go to heights to perform work in cold weather, where the weight of the heavy jacket will impede their ability to reach the workpiece or cause repetitive compression injuries;
This limits the mobility of individuals and / or the accessibility or portability of objects

Abstract

A method of directing thermal infrared energy and an apparatus including a covering. The present invention relates to a retroreflective heater. The present invention discloses a device for directing thermal infrared energy toward or away from a target. The device includes a covering having a plurality of retroreflective elements. The plurality of retroreflective elements is configured to retroreflect electromagnetic beams primarily at thermal infrared wavelengths, receive the electromagnetic beams from a target along a beam receiving path, and reflect the electromagnetic beams back toward the target along a beam reflecting path. The beam reflecting paths have substantially the same inclination and / or azimuth as their corresponding beam receiving paths.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to an apparatus and method for directing thermal infrared energy toward or away from a target. Background technique [0002] Maintaining the temperature of an object under a given set of environmental conditions can be difficult to achieve. This temperature stability involves maintaining warm objects at a warm temperature and cold objects at a cold temperature. In addition, temperature stability should be achieved efficiently and economically. [0003] Temperature stability is desired in a wide range of environments and situations. These environments and situations include (for example without limitation): [0004] 1) To keep individuals such as aircraft mechanics comfortable and productive while working outdoors in cold winter weather or hot summer weather; [0005] 2) Keeping individuals such as soldiers or airline passengers comfortable during flight on an aircraft; [0006] 3) keeping the engine or battery warm ...
