Abstract
A simple integrated assemblage of components built around a modular solid state heater, and incorporating an intuitive consumer user interface (CUI), enables self-heating functionality to be applied in standard beverage cans. The CUI includes an actuation mechanism for user initiation of heating, as well as a novel means of breaching the can to access the heated beverage.
