However, that distance depends largely on factors such as vehicle speed, number of passengers, ambient temperature and use of accessories like heating and air conditioning.
Birds use temperature as a cue for many life-cycle decisions.
The three small black rectangles each year are the observed global temperature histories in common use.
Enlighted puts sensors into lighting fixtures that can monitor the energy use, temperature and brightness in a room.
These pens would bob 60 feet below the surface, kept in place with motors powered by heat exchangers that use the temperature difference between deep water and shallow water to generate electricity.
Some cars get hotter than 150 degrees inside when parked in the sun, so reducing the temperature could mean Toyota could use a smaller AC unit, he added.
He recognizes that the established temperature authorities mentioned above today use data from only about 2, 000 weather stations, down from 6, 000 in 1970, which raises questions about their selections among available sites.

Basically, the waves in the ocean have energy, and you use that to lower the temperature differential.
Stardust managers would use heaters to raise the temperature of one or more optical surfaces possibly coated with the goo.
Such differences result from various assumptions regarding unknowns such as changing urbanization and other land use influences that contaminate surface temperature recordings.

Instead, it points the finger squarely at the industry's sub-par standards testing, claiming the procedures for IPX5, IPX6 and IPX7 require the use of pure, room temperature H2O, not the warm, soapy water involved in everyday hygiene.

In 2013 Jackie and Graham Hall hope to use new technology called Smart Position or Temperature (SPOT) tagging which deploys tags which stay on the sharks for up to five years.
Temperature-sensing paints work similarly they use luminescent molecules that light up according to how much they are vibrating, glowing less (and shaking more) when they are hotter and glowing more (and shaking less) when they are cooler.
For extreme overclocking enthusiasts, they can use their mobile phone to monitor frequency, temperature and voltage parameters in real time while their computer is running full-screen testing software.

When the explorer drills the ice to make a physical measurement of thickness, he will use the hole to lower a 4kg conductivity-temperature device (CTD) into the ocean below.
The entire dish was suffused with garlic and olive puree, but the underlying memory is of how precisely it was cooked, due no doubt to the use of sous-vide, or controlled-temperature cooking in vacuum-sealed bags.

Battery power consumption depends on factors such as network configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, features selected, vibrate mode, backlight settings, browser use, frequency of calls and voice, data and other application usage patterns.
"Chemicals are bad, " I told my family, and proceeded to use something called the Fertility Awareness Method, which basically involves wishful thinking and a temperature chart.
Unlike almost all competitive products that use only one sensor to 'read' the body, BodyMedia's monitors incorporate temperature, heat flux, galvanic skin response and 3-axis accelerometer sensors to get accurate measurements of calorie burn, exercise intensity and sleep patterns that affect weight as well as health.

Setting the temperature while the vehicle is on the charger can make the cabin more comfortable so the driver can minimize the use of the heat or air conditioning.
In 2001, the Court ruled against the government in a case involving use of a ground-based thermal imager to detect an indoor marijuana growing operation by measuring the temperature of the roof and outside wall of a house.
But until recently they have suffered from a low power-to-weight ratio, unlike the other sort of room-temperature fuel cell, the temperamental and costly proton-exchange-membrane device, which several firms hope soon to use in motor cars.
