MIRRO Mirror Defogger in Hilton Moscow
Hilton Garden Inn recently took delivery on 120 units of
thermo's MIRRO mirror defogging systems for a newly
constructed hotel in Oakdale, Minnesota. "We are
very excited about extending our relationship with Hilton across
the Atlantic," says William McNair, General Manager
of thermo Heating Elements, LLC. "We are fortunate
to have been chosen as a partner in this project. Hopefully,
we will continue to enjoy a long-lasting relationship with one of
the world's most recognizable names in the industry."
Residents of Hilton Hotels throughout Europe have been
enjoying the benefits of MIRRO bathroom mirror defoggers
for years. "We believe," says Mr. McNair, "that American
hoteliers are beginning to realize the value MIRRO brings
to their customers and that
the demand for fog-free bathrooms will be as high
here in the States as it is in Europe."

thermo
on Board the Queen Mary
"I actually became aware of it by chance,"
said Mr. Josef Winter after he learned that his mirror
defogging systems were to be enjoyed by the cabin guests.
Mr. Winter is the developer of an ultra-thin, patented heating system,
which, when attached to the bathroom lighting, warms
the glass and protects against the accumulation of mist.
The technology has brought the middle-sized company
with 25 employees in Rohrbach, Germany projects from throughout
the world. "In luxury hotels this technology has
become the standard - and we don't always know where
our units end up," says the General Manager of thermo
- a family owned business in operation since 1978. These systems
are especially useful in bathrooms with little or no
ventilation - like those aboard most ships. And now,
Guests can only see fog and mist from one of the many decks
aboard the Queen Mary 2.

New Flexible Heater Technology
Awarded Patent as Wound Therapy Bandage
Last month, thermo Heating Elements was awarded a patent
for its wound therapy bandage. The revolutionary bandage
applies gentle warmth to the surface of the skin, a
process which has been clinically shown to substantially speed
up the healing process. "By incorporating our patented PTC
technology and continuous web manufacturing techniques,
we were able to developed a cost effective wound therapy
heated bandage for use in hospitals, clinics and the
home," says William McNair, General Manager of thermo in Piedmont,
South Carolina and co-developer of the bandage. "We
are excited about this technology and are currently
looking for strategic partners in order to bring the product
to market."

thermo Makes it`s German
Television Debut
The producers of the German Cable Channel Pro-7's TV-Magazine
show named "Galileo", which highlights technological
advances and revolutionary ideas, recently visited thermo
in Rohrbach, Germany. They were immediately enthralled
by the concept of a truly "fog-free" mirror and how thermo
has developed its defogging unit "MIRRO,"
making it a standard in luxury hotels throughout the
world.

Dryfoot has his Roots in the German Alps, and Recently
Munich`s Leading Newspaper - the "Süddeutsche
Zeitung" - Discovered its Many Advantages. The
Following is an Excerpt from an Article Written about Thermal Science`s
Dryfoot Boot and Shoe Warming System.
Warm Feet from the power outlet
by Manfred Hummel
"Keep the head cold, the feet warm and sure, that'll
make even the best Doctor poor." This old German
saying is a perfect metaphor for the new product developed by Mr.
Josef Winter. Mr. Winter has developed a new style of
shoe warmer.
"Dryfoot"
consists of a pair of flexible and water-resistant thermal inserts,
which can be plugged in to outlets in the car, hotel
or home. Whether for ski boots, sports shoes, hunting
or work boots, these warming systems can be inserted
into shoes starting at European size 35 (US size 4) and reach
a comforting 45 C (115 degrees F). Wet shoes are,
as a result, once again dry in a relatively short
period. "My wife came up with the idea," says the 47
year old Electrical Engineer from Rohrbach, near Munich,
Germany. She was sick and tired of arriving at the
ski slope and having to slide on icy cold boots - unable to
recover the warmth in her toes over the course of the day.
"Positive
Temperature Coefficient"
Mr. Winter had for years tinkered with a battery powered
system, but ultimately dropped the idea because of
the limitations a battery presents. Mr. Winter's TUV
Safety tested shoe warmers differentiate themselves through their
use of PTC Technology - a patented technology which was developed
many years ago. The abbreviation stands for Positive
Temperature Coefficient. PTC prohibits the shoe from
overheating. If it is quite cold, the wattage increases
, and vice-versa.
The
Shoe heaters are in the process of finding their way to retail
outlets throughout Europe. "The interest in North
America and Canada is also very great," reports
the developer. |
