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 ...
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. [4]
The study compared a standard ("reactive") smart thermostat and the multiple sensor system to a manual thermostat. The study concluded that a reactive smart thermostat with just on sensor saves, on average, 6.8% of energy consumption, while the multiple sensor system saved an average of 28% of energy consumption.
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.
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.

In the Galileo thermometer, the small glass bulbs are partly filled with different-colored liquids. The composition of these liquids is mainly water; some contain a tiny percent of alcohol, but that is not important for the functioning of the thermometer; they merely function as fixed weights, with their colors denoting given temperatures.
Arthur M. Hillery got a US patent in 1945. Arthur M. Hillery suggested the use of acetone as working fluid. [21] It was again patented in the US by Miles V. Sullivan in 1946. [8] He was a Ph.D. inventor-scientist at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ, USA. [8] [22] [4] Robert T. Plate got a US Design patent in 1947, that cites Arthur M. Hillery's ...
Schön's topic of research was condensed matter physics and nanotechnology. [3] He received his PhD from the University of Konstanz in 1997. During late 1997, he was hired by Bell Labs, where he worked on electronics in which conventional semiconducting elements (such as silicon) were replaced by crystalline organic (meaning carbon-based) materials.
