It contains a heating element to de-ice the windshield.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Joe would be correct, but IRL most of the planes I've seen with those have them placed directly over the pilot's side instead of the middle of the screen.  Reason is, it doesn't de-ice the whole windshield, just what is in the box.
