Essays on Thermostat

The product is a sound thermostat, namely a system that mitigates the noise, coming from outside (e.g., traffic, construction works, loud conversations). The target market of the product is represented primarily by middle-aged adults, as well as senior citizens. The product will be positioned to the target market as ‘the best solution to cope with a non-stop street noise’, ‘a means to concentrate on work and not get disturbed when working’, as well as ‘the best tool for healthy sleep’. The advantage of the above positioning messages deals with emphasizing an issue (the lack of quiet environment) and offering ...

World climate change experts observe that carbon emission is a major cause of the climatic havoc in the world today ranging from floods, typhoons, Tsunamis, fires, and floods. Experts predict that more harm if the current destruction continues and the human kind is at risk. Global Thermostat (GT) gives a promising solution to eliminate carbon dioxide in the air attributed to climatic changes using an intensive technology. Success of GT will revolutionize the energy industry by providing effective and low-cost technology to extract Carbon dioxide from industries. The technology will also be used by heat intensive industries to make ...

Abstract

Montreal is concentrating on making the city appealing to the general public and by extension the entire globe. Considering the possibility of wider and heated sidewalks alongside fewer cars and more trees, Montreal has decided to launch the future of Saint Catherine Street. The street being the most important in the city requires innovation, flexibility and audacity in an effort to offer a description of the dynamic and greener look on the streets. The street is the largest and this means it requires more attention than any other street in the country. There is a dire need for infrastructure ...

Introduction

Air Conditioning is perhaps one of the most wonderful scientific inventions that provided relief to the people living in a hot climate. What started as a device for cooling homes was later extended to vehicles that have a closed structure. For a layman, it appears that an air conditioner cools the air. However, scientifically speaking, the air conditioner provides cooling by transferring heat from the air inside the thermally insulated place to the air present outdoor by the medium of “refrigerant”. The phenomenon of heat transfer involves three physical processes: evaporation, compression, and condensation (“How Does an Air Conditioner Work?”). Firstly, ...

Heated hose pipes are the pipes that offer constant water supply in freezing temperatures. Mostly, they are built and designed to fit personal equipment, structure and requirements. Mainly, they are made up of thermostat switches. As temperature approaches freezing zones, the heat from the heaters keeps the water flowing if need arises. Mainly, the heating element used is copper wire. It’s mainly inside the hose pipeline. It mainly regulates the water flow by turning on and off the heater. The element is usually 50 feet long as it runs with the hose pipe. The length and diameter plays ...

Global warming has recently been gaining the spotlight as the debate about the issue grows more heated. The trouble however is that scientists and researchers aren’t discussing the causes, effects and solutions pertaining to the problem rather, they are engaged in the discussion of whether or not the problem poses real threat or if it is even a legitimate claim to begin with. It wasn’t long after the tweet that the president Barack Obama posted on May 16 that; “Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: climate change is real, man-made and dangerous” that the discussions regarding the reality of ...

Executive Summary

The oil industry is one of the most dynamic and robust sectors that contribute to the economic growth of a country. Due to the lucrative nature of the oil industries’ production performance, oil producing organizations have continued to attract a wide array of personnel. Employers have the obligation to provide remunerations that are commensurate with the demands of the job. Since oil industries have been identified to be one of the most hazardous, risks have to be assessed, managed, and appropriately controlled. One of the largest and most productive oil organizations in the world is Saudi Arabian Oil Company (ARAMCO). ...

Abstract

Being detectors that can be used to measure events or changes in many types of physical qualities and quantities, for instance light or pressure, whenever they are in occurrence, the sensors are in a wide range of different devices in which it is required to convert the measurement into a signal that can be read. This paper presents the definition and a brief history of sensors; it talks about who invented the sensor, the theory behind the sensor and how it is currently used in the industry.

For several years, even right from medieval times, sensors have been around in various forms. ...

Introduction

Physics is an abstract field of science that influences our lives in more ways than we can imagine. From waking up every morning, to the water we drink; from driving to work, to the music we listen to; from the internet, to the cell phones that we use so often, physics governs all their basic operating principles. Many natural phenomena throw questions whose answers lie deep in physics. Why are lightning flashes so spectacular? How long does it take for light from a star to reach us? How is a rainbow formed? What causes a boomerang to swirl back? Many of these ...

Stress has been a common “illness” among professional’s alike and ordinary people. Several have been claiming that they are stress out. This claim has resulted to numerous drugs that are available over the counter to reduce stress. In addition, stress reliever sessions and classes have also been put up by psychologists or even gym instructors just for the purpose of reducing the stress that a person is feeling. What is stress and what causes it? Psychologically speaking, stress is defined as a reaction to a stimulus that can affect both the physical and mental equilibrium. As a result, it can cause numerous disturbances ...

The production director of Wilmslow Ltd wants to schedule production for quarter 3 (the twelve weeks ending 17 September) and asks you to use the revised information to prepare the following: - The revised production budget for Alphas and Betas;

Closing stock is 5 days and 10 days of sales for Q4, for alpha and beta respectively, which is 20% more than the new estimated demand, so the Q4 estimated demand is 120% of 2000 and 2400 respectively =120/100*2000=2400 2400/12=200 units (12 weeks because each week is 5 days)..For Alpha

For beta;

=120/100*2400=2880 2880/6=480 ...

Operational strategy of Google with Google Glass is exceptionally brilliant as well as unique. As estimated by experts, although Glass will take a while to shape up to emerge as the next generation ‘iPad’, the company is aware that connected eye gear and eye wear hold tremendous potential for ushering in a new age of wearable computing to be able to control household devices. In other words, Google Glass takes home automation to the next level. Google Glass was being chiefly employed for outdoor applications. But now with intelligent integration, many devices in a home can be automated and used on voice ...
