I notice that on slide 11 they used a Hydrogen purification system as a proxy
for PF's electrolytic cell. I also notice that the Palladium membrane is
heated with a heater. I wonder if Rossi's heater is for a related purpose to
the process.

According to Wikipedia:
The palladium membrane is typically a metallic tube of
a palladium and silver alloy material possessing the unique property of
allowing only monatomic hydrogen to pass through its crystal lattice when it is
heated above 300°C.[2][dead link]
