ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling the temperature of a human body having an outer layer, a mechanism for exchanging thermal energy with a human body with a first part to be disposed between the outer layer and a surface of a human body, and a fitting mechanism at least partially disposed between the outer layer and the first part of the energy exchanging mechanism for shaping the first part of the energy exchanging mechanism to substantially conform to a surface of a human body. Also a method for controlling the temperature of a human body includes applying a mechanism for exchanging thermal energy with a human body to a surface on a human body, shaping the energy exchanging mechanism to substantially conform to a surface of a human body, and changing the temperature of a human body as an incident of activating the energy exchanging mechanism.
