Uniformly heated conductive panels

Claim 1

A CONDUCTIVE PANEL COMPRISING: A PLATE OF ELECTRICALLY NON-CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL; A PLURALITY OF DISCRETE SECTIONS OF CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL DISPOSED ON SAID PLATE, EACH OF SAID SECTIONS HAVING FIRST AND SECOND NON-PARALLEL OPPOSING SIDES; A FIRST BUS BAR ELECTRICALLY ENGAGING THE FIRST SIDE OF A FIRST OF SAID SECTIONS; A SECOND BUS BAR ELECTRICALLY ENGAGING THE FIRST SIDE OF A SECOND OF SAID SECTIONS; FIRST BUS BAR MEANS ELECTRICALLY ENGAGING THE SECOND SIDE OF SAID FIRST OF SAID SECTIONS, SAID FIRST BUS BAR MEANS COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF INDIVIDUAL SEGMENTS EACH CORRESPONDING TO A PORTION OF SAID FIRST SECTION EXTENDING BETWEEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND SIDES THEREOF, EACH OF SAID SEGMENTS HAVING A RESISTANCE GRADIENT ALONG THE LENGTH THEREOF AND HAVING ITS HIGHEST RESISTANCE WHERE SAID FIRST AND SECOND SIDES COME CLOSEST TOGETHER; SECOND BUS BAR MEANS ELECTRICALLY ENGAGING THE SECOND SIDE OF SAID SECOND OF SAID SECTIONS, SAID SECOND BUS BAR MEANS COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF INDIVIDUAL SEGMENTS EACH CORRESPONDING TO A PORTION OF SAID SECOND SECTION EXTENDING BETWEEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND SIDES THEREOF, EACH OF SAID SEGMENTS HAVING A RESISTANCE GRADIENT ALONG THE LENGTH THEREOF AND HAVING ITS HIGHEST RESISTANCE WHERE SAID FIRST AND SECOND SIDES COME CLOSEST TOGETHER; AND A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS, EACH OF SAID CONDUCTORS ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING A SEGMENT OF SAID FIRST BUS BAR MEANS WITH A SEGMENT OF SAID SECOND BUS BAR MEANS, SAID SEGMENTS BEING SELECTED FOR CONNECTION SO THAT THE TOTAL RESISTANCE OF EACH CIRCUIT COMPRISING A PORTION OF SAID FIRST SECTION, THE SEGMENT OF SAID FIRST BUS BAR MEANS CORRESPONDING THERETO, THE CONDUCTOR CONNECTED TO SAID SEGMENT A PORTION OF SAID SECOND SECTION AND THE CORRESPONDING SEGMENT OF SAID SECOND BUS BAR MEANS IS SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL TO THE RESISTANCE OF EVERY OTHER SUCH CIRCUIT.
