Innovation Just Keeps On Coming

Kitchen appliances:

Electrolux:
  • Refrigerators-
    • have drawers with temperature controls to preserve certain items
    • air filtration system to prevent odors
    • slide out freezer drawers
    • LED lighting
    • Alarms that tell you if the door has been left ajar and if the temperature in the refrigerator has risen too high for too long.
  • Induction Cook tops
    • Generates heat for rapid boil
    • Settings to make a controlled lockout
    • Heat is transferred to the cookware so that the cook top stays cooler
    • Range of heat adjusts to the size of the pot

Smart Home Technology and Security Systems: 

Technology nowadays has become very advanced especially when it comes to safety and comfort in the home. People can now install entire systems that control almost every aspect of the home by one device ( their phones, tablets, ect.). These systems can be wireless, which offers the flexibility of installing them into any home. With the push of a button home owners can: 
  • turn of lights and set them to whatever they choose
  • monitor whoever walks up to their front door 
  • turn on or off their alarm system
  • control the air temperature
  • control the blinds to close or open at a certain time
  • listen to a playlist or turn on a movie in a different room


This is a system that can be used for both residential and commercial applications. Follow this link to the control 4 website to find out more about how this system works (and check out some of the really cool projects it has already been used for):
