How many of us have heard of someone dying during air travel? Many of these persons died from cardiac causes, such as myocardial infarction. It is also likely that the health crisis was precipitated by low blood oxygenation while sleeping, a frequent consequence of air travel in pressurized cabins.
A safe, wireless device that reduces the risk of falling asleep. This wearable device may be inside a fabric cap attached to a glove. It measures heart rate and heart rate variability through a pulse oximeter. When the rate falls below a wearer-tailored threshold,

A systems approach aids the visually or hearing impaired via Google Glass or other Heads Up Display (HUD), WiFi, and GPS to identify points of interest in buildings or venues, called Locations.
As a Photovoltaic cell gets hot its ability to convert sun-light to electrical energy reduces. This increase in temperature occurs as a simple byproduct of exposure to the light of the sun. For solar arrays that don’t use collectors, the temperature increase is minor.
TEOP is an acronym for Thermo-Electronic Optimum Power: A forever battery with a minimum service life of fifty years.
A rugged intelligent adaptation of the Therm-o-Electronic Battery, (US) patent application 14099911.
The device functions similar to an intelligent dynamic power supply with energy storage.
SOLUTE ION LINEAR ALIGNMENT PROPULSION/ACCELERATION to RAPIDLY produce energy in solution of water via flash distillation heat generation for heating of an aqueous solution such as sea water. The flash distillation could be continued until the solution becomes saturated brine and precipitation can be initiated on a continuous basis.
