Vacuum Insulated Office Buildings

The use of vacuum as a barrier to heat flow, in just about any thing but thermos bottles, is curiously nonexistent.

Buildings, windows, water heaters, refrigerators, ice chests, etc. are viable candidates.

Some of these lend themselves to both passive and dynamically held vacuum insulation.

Passive vs Dynamic

Passive is a void that can maintain a vacuum indefinitely,

Variable Ice Dam

Variable ice dam to stop the flooding destruction in the spring(Mississippi River). The ice dam would be upstream where it's safe to backup the river. Hydropowered freezing units. The water only needs to be cooled a few degrees and slowed down to freeze. The freezing sections would insulate against the coldness being pulled down stream (better freezing ability).

Vehicle Driver's 'Extra' Sensory Information

Vehicles have started to be equipped with multiple cameras, radars, parking sensors, etc.

Sensors information shall be represented efficiently in a non-distractive way to the driver.

Nowadays, the drivers are usually well isolated from sounds of the outside world. Well enough - for my innovation.

Background of the invention:

Once I drove alone in the very thick fog.

Vehicle Rear Green Signal Lights

Vehicle Rear Green Signal Lights

Indicating Vehicle Acceleration by Turning On

when the Accelerator Pedal is Depressed

My idea is to incorporate additional rear green acceleration signal lights into already existing block of vehicle rear lights. Additional rear green acceleration signal lights are turned on automatically when the accelerator pedal is depressed and a vehicle accelerates.

Very Fast High Dynamic Range Analog to Digital Converter, ADC

Analog to Digital Converters, ADC, provide digital representations of analog voltages/power for digital signal processing and control circuitry.

As sampling rates increase, problems of temperature drift, noise, aperture uncertainty and many more factors are exacerbated. Around 1978 a very bright Engineering Technician ( Bob ), conceived a design using flash ADCs and Digital to Analog Converters, DAC,
