    Abstract: The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods of improving fuel economy of internal combustion engines. In particular, the systems and methods relate to improving fuel economy of internal combustion engines by increasing the laminar flame speed (LFS) of fuel and hydrogen gas mixture. By increasing the laminar flame speed of the mixture, amount of carbon-based fuel that undergoes combustion increases. This may provide the advantage of minimizing overall fuel consumption by the engine, resulting in fuel savings. This may also provide the advantage of minimizing greenhouse gas emissions by the engine, resulting in environmental benefits.

    Abstract: A temperature measurement device for measuring a temperature of a heating element that may have a floor is disclosed. The temperature measurement device may be formed from an arm comprising a first end for contacting the floor and a second end. A temperature sensor disposed at the first end of the arm and for generating a first temperature signal. A base unit is found at the second end of the arm that includes a control circuit electrically coupled with the temperature sensor and a battery and a temperature indication unit, the control circuit for receiving of the first temperature signal and for displaying a visual representation of the temperature signal on the temperature indication unit, wherein the temperature measurement device has a weight where the weight of the temperature measurement device presses the first end against the vaporization element and in some embodiments the floor of the vaporization element for thermally coupling the temperature sensor with the vaporization element.

    Abstract: There is provided a light fixture comprising a light source. The light source has a housing terminating in a first end, and the housing has a housing connector proximate the first end. The housing also has a heat sink disposed inside the housing and a light emitter disposed inside the housing. The light emitter is positioned to allow a light emitted by the light emitter to exit the housing through the first end. The light source also has a connector in electrical communication with the light emitter. The housing connector is configured for reversibly securing the light source to one or more of: an adaptor reversibly securable to a trim configured for securing the light fixture to a substrate, and the trim.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-contained, self-regulating intelligent automated window treatment with increased energy efficiency consisting of: (1) a headrail; (2) a tube located within the headrail; (3) a motor located within the headrail, preferably within the tube; (4) window treatment fabric with one terminus of the fabric affixed to the tube within the headrail, and with the fabric extending from the tube and out from the headrail; (5) a smart bottom rail attached to the terminus of the shade fabric furthest from the tube with the bottom rail containing, at least one sensor, at least one control button, and a battery that provides power to the sensor(s) and control button(s), and wherein the smart bottom rail communicates with the motor in the headrail. Types of sensors used may include environmental sensors, motion sensors, and inertial sensors.
    In another embodiment of the invention, the battery in the bottom rail may be a rechargeable battery. In a further embodiment, the bottom rail may contain at least one solar panel, which may be used to provide charge to the rechargeable battery.
    In another embodiment of the invention, the headrail further consists of a solar panel and a rechargeable battery that may be charged by the solar panel. In a further embodiment solar power stored in the rechargeable battery of the bottom rail may be transferred to the rechargeable battery-powered motor of the headrail.
