Abstract
Circuit boards ( ) and methods for fabricating circuit boards that include heaters for maintaining temperature sensitive components at an operating temperature are provided. Resistive traces ( ) are included in the circuit boards proximate temperature sensitive apparatus ( ). Thermally conductive patches ( ) are interposed between the resistive traces and the temperature sensitive components. The thermally conductive patches establish zones of relatively uniform temperatures. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the temperature sensitive apparatus comprises a fluid conduit ( ).
