Oregon Scientific, Inc. is a manufacturer of electronics including digital clocks, home weather stations, public alert monitors, fitness devices, toys and globes. The firm was started in 1989 in Portland, Oregon, United States. [1] In 1997, the company became a fully owned subsidiary of IDT (Integrated Display Technology), a Hong Kong–based ...
A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to automotive coolant control.
The gas savings for manual thermostat replacements (10% per thermostat) was found to be larger than for programmable thermostat replacements (8% per thermostat). The difference in electricity savings between homes whose prior equipment was a manual thermostat or programmable thermostat was found to be minimal. [1]
Just like it takes a whole community to cut back on energy use, it takes a community of support to get through extreme weather events. “During the 2023 heat wave, we had a tremendous response ...
The original TekBots program was developed by the Oregon State University College of Engineering. [2] Professors there wanted to provide a fun and interesting way for students to get excited about engineering. In 2000, the TekBots program was able to get off the ground with a $500,000 grant from the Oregon-based company, Tektronix inc. [3]
This regulation is now carried out by an internal thermostat. Conveniently, both the sensing element of the thermostat and its control valve may be placed at the same location, allowing the use of a simple self-contained non-powered thermostat as the primary device for the precise control of engine temperature.

Oregon (/ ˈ ɒr ɪ ɡ ən,-ɡ ɒ n / ⓘ ORR-ih-ghən, -gon) [7] [8] is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is a part of the Western U.S., with the Columbia River delineating much of Oregon's northern boundary with Washington, while the Snake River delineates much of its eastern boundary with Idaho.
However, the Berendsen thermostat can result in the flying ice cube effect, an artifact which can be eliminated by using the more rigorous Bussi–Donadio–Parrinello [3] thermostat; for this reason, it has been recommended that usage of the Berendsen thermostat be discontinued in almost all cases except for replication of prior studies.
