Integrated temperature regulator and methods of selectively generating heat and regulating temperature

摘要

Integrated temperature regulator and methods of selectively generating heat and regulating temperature In the present technique, an integrated temperature regulator for regulating a temperature of an object is presented. The integrated temperature regulator includes a heating module and an object port. The heating module includes a semiconductor material substrate. The semiconductor material substrate includes at least one logic block at a given location. The logic block is operable to selectively generate a specific amount of heat for heating the object. The specific amount of heat generated is in response to at least one predetermined computational instruction provided as an input to the logic block. The object port is for receiving the object wherein the object port is in thermal contact with the logic block. The present technique also presents a method for selectively generating a specific amount of heat for heating an object and a temperature regulating method for regulating a temperature of an object.
