Abstract
An adaptive controller for controlling the temperature of a body. The adaptive controller of the present invention comprises a temperature measuring device which measures the temperature of the body. A controller which has a controller integral time constant and a controller gain constant is provided for controlling a heating device. An adjustment mechanism is provided which determines the controller integral time constant and the controller gain constant where the controller integral time constant and the controller gain constant are dependent upon the difference between the present temperature of the body and the desired temperature of the body.
