An automotive seat assembly 10 comprising a seat 12 and a seat back 14 with
a fabric cover 16 comprising non-conductive polyester fibers 18 woven
together and electrically conductive pure carbon elements 22 woven into
the fibers 18 and extending between braided copper strands defining
electrodes 20. Each of the conductive elements 22 consists of a single and
homogeneous composition of pure carbon to create heat in response to
electrical current and presenting a bare surface in contact with the
surrounding fibers 18 to emit the heat directly from the bare surface to
heat the surrounding enviroment.
