Patent ID: 7214906

Claim:
A heated hand grip, comprising: (a) means for restoring an amount of electrical energy that was supplied to said heated right grip and an amount of electrical energy that was supplied to said heated left grip that is equal in magnitude of that supplied during a last previous use thereof during a new use of said heated hand grip control, said new use occurring after a quiescent period in which no electrical energy was supplied to either said heated right grip or said heated left grip during said quiescent period; (b) means for shutting said heated hand grip control off wherein no electrical energy is supplied to either said heated right grip or said heated left grip subsequent to a detection by said means for shutting said heated hand grip control off that a voltage of a battery has fallen to a predetermined level; (c) first means for controlling a first amount of electrical energy that is supplied to said heated right grip and second means for controlling a second amount of electrical energy that is supplied to said heated left grip; (d) wherein said first means for controlling includes first means for varying a duty cycle of an electrical waveform that is applied to said heated right grip and wherein said second means for controlling includes means for varying a duty cycle of an electrical waveform that is applied to said heated left grip; and (e) including a microprocessor, said microprocessor including a memory that is in electrical communication with said microprocessor, and including a control panel having a plurality of inputs that are electrically connected to said microprocessor and a plurality of outputs that are electrically connected to said microprocessor, and wherein said plurality of outputs includes a first pulsed DC output that is adapted for connection to said heated right grip and wherein said plurality of outputs includes a second pulsed DC output that is adapted for connection to said heated left grip.
