Designs for launching payloads to orbit rely on expendable liquid kerosone or hydrogen fuel sources. This is a costly due to the high cost of design and construction of ultra light weight tanks using aluminum-lithium alloys.
Camera In Dashboard with Electronic Response. The name of this is so vague only because of the endless possibilities that are possible. In simple terms,
This improved outlet design requires simultaneous insertion of the hot and neutral plug tangs to energize the outlet. Single items inserted into a single opening, or multiple items inserted at different times will not energize the outlet.
You're driving down a road at night, your head lights are really dull, and you can't see. Now I am proposing an idea that will revolutionize the technique of driving at night. I am currently taking this weather class at school and I got the best idea.

Active RC Electronic Biquad/Universal Self-Compensated Filter(s)
2° order biquad/universal continuous time IF (Intermediate Frequency) active filters type resonant and, more particulary, active full self-compensation techniques to improve the frequency range, the stability and/or the selectivity of the filters themselves with a very low cost.
The Patriot Light is a combination Flagpole Finial and Solar/LED Flag Light. This device was invented to showcase the unique Patent Pending Dome/Lens that effectively harvests low angle sunlight that heretofore would have been wasted.
A range of LED lighting sources for home, office and street lighting including A19 and PAR bulb sizes, equivalent in lumen output (900/1400) to 60/75/100W incandescent bulbs but which have very high driver efficiency of 96/98% (on 120/220V respectively) and PF of 0.993, negligible EMI,
The first challenge in transportation is to explore new trails, to go where no one has gone before, to leave the first footprints in undisturbed sands. At this watershed moment, the Earth's Moon waits, a vista of magnificent desolation, silent, forbidding, calling. Come, blaze new trails with me.
