Abstract

The issue of the invention is woven smart susceptor heat blankets. A heating blanket is disclosed. The heating blanket may include a conductor yarn configured to receive electrical current and generate a magnetic field in response to the electrical current, and a plurality of susceptor yarns composed of a magnetic material including a Curie point. The conductor yarn and the plurality of susceptor yarns may be interlaced to form a layer of fabric.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to heating blankets, and more particularly to textile heating blankets and methods of making the same. Background technique [0002] Heating blankets can be used for many different purposes. For example, heating blankets can be used in homes and hospitals to keep beds and occupants warm. In another example, heating blankets can be used to fabricate and repair composite structures by providing localized application of heat. However, conventional heating blankets do not provide an even temperature over the area being heated. Thus, differential heating over the area causes some points to be overheated while others are underheated. Contents of the invention [0003] According to one embodiment, a heating blanket is disclosed. The heating blanket may include a conductor yarn configured to receive an electrical current and generate a magnetic field in response to the electrical current, and a plurality of suscep...
