A thermal system includes a base member, a two-phase fluid, a tuning heater, and a chuck. The base member includes at least one fluid passageway. The two-phase fluid is disposed within the fluid passageway. A pressure of the two-phase fluid is controlled such that the two-phase fluid provides at least one of heating and cooling to the base member. The tuning heater is secured to the base member. The chuck is secured to the tuning heater opposite to the base member. The tuning heater includes a plurality of zones to fine tune a heat distribution provided by the base member to the chuck.

A thermal system includes: a base member including at least one fluid passageway in which a two-phase fluid is disposed; a tuning layer secured to the base member; and a control system. The pressure of the two-phase fluid is controlled such that the two-phase fluid provides at least one of heating and cooling to the base member. The tuning layer includes a plurality of zones. The control system includes a plurality of sets of power lines in communication with the tuning layer, and a plurality of addressable control elements in electrical communication with the power lines and with the tuning layer. The control elements provide selective control of the tuning layer zones.

A wireless communication device notifies designated contacts of an emergency using contact information stored in the wireless communication device. The contact information includes, but is not limited to, a list of designated contacts, at least one individual notification message for each designated contact, and delivery information for each notification message. The wireless communication device, responsive to an emergency input, automatically retrieves the contact information from memory and sends individual notification messages to each designated contact according to the contact information. Because the wireless communication device stores all instructions and information related to the emergency notification function in memory within the wireless communication device, the wireless communication device is compatible with any wireless network capable of transmitting messages generated by the wireless communication device.
