Wintergardens and many other buildings run hot during summer time. If there is no control, it might be rather hot in the rooms, if sun burns down.
The invention is not really big, but it works fine: if the sun shines,
Fuel cells that directly convert chemical energy into electricity meet the demands for the clean energy industry of the future, primary owing to their striking advantages of the high-energy conversion efficiency that is not limited by the Carnot cycle, low/zero emission, and reliable and simple structure. Currently,

The cosmetics industry makes billions of dollars annually. Not only women of all ages wear makeup, but also men do. However,
A device for transferring electrical energy to neuronal tissues via well-understood concepts of physics, specifically the body of theory contained in transmission of energy by magnetic resonance.
This is a compact device which serves to provide a localized application of electric circuital currents to electrically-engaged tissues,
This idea came from the analysis of why symmetric-multi-processing (SMP) architectures failed to perform well when given an intrinsically parallel software task (circuit simulation in Verilog) - despite being able to get as many as 48 CPUs on a chip these days,
Connectors with wire sealing were developed for use in applications where waterproof protection and rugged construction are required. Waterproof protection is achieved by means of a wire seal which is inserted onto the wire and crimped simultaneously with the insulation support of the contact.
