Home brew:
Hardware ~100. thermostat directly controls my HVAC unit, which has a standard four-wire interface. One wire is common, and there is one wire for each of Heat, Cool (A/C), and Fan. I'm using an LM35 to measure the temperature, three relays to connect the HVAC, a nice 20x2 LCD display for status, and some buttons and switches, all mounted into a project box. Since the Arduino has a built-in USB interface, I use that to provide status back to the computer, and allow the computer to issue commands.
Building A Thermostat Using Arduino
arduino, a few solid state relays, and a temperature sensor from adafruit.
$108 I bought a Dallas Semiconductor 18B20 digital temperature sensor ($4), along with the relay I needed for the second thermostat switch ($2), a wall-wart AC adapter to power the Arduino ($6), and a 5-V wall wart to operate the relay ($6).

"... running the contaminated water through the fine nanotubes and fibres, which trap the radioactive Cesium (Cs+) ions through a structural change."
"By adding silver oxide nanocrystals to the outer surface, the nanostructures are able to capture and immobilise radioactive iodine (I-) ions"
"Australia is one of the largest producers of titania that are the raw materials used for fabricating the absorbents of titanate nanofibres and nanotubes."
How much to do the research and get a product going?
All the nano stuff is still cutting edge new. Manufacturing nano things is expensive based on wirk I started at ____. We made nano pigment particles for coloring paints. Limited use due to expense and we weren't making the nano structure itself and depositing nano crystals. Conventional crystal making has a long history which you would probably need to try to do it in nano size.

SaaS - Regulatory Reports for Safe Food Handling
The California Food Handler Card law – SB 602 – is a landmark bill signed in 2010 that creates a statewide standard for safe food handling in California’s restaurants. The law ensures that food handlers gain and exhibit basic food safety knowledge by passing a test.
Food handlers must obtain a food handler card within 30 days of the date of hire.
A California Food Handler Card is valid for three years, and food facility operators are required to maintain record of a current card for each employee. Local health departments will enforce the mandate during the inspection process.
The California Food Handler Card is recognized throughout the state, though three counties – Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego – have existing local food handler card requirements that are not affected by the state law.

Smartphone Voice Encryption Software
Years ago the military used STU-III hardware encryption.
A smartphone application to encrypt would need key management. An inexpensive ($1/month) service could provide the key management to enable people who have not yet set up keys to easily use public keys for the phone call.
The key servers should have geographical dispersion in different political jurisdictions.
Available in google play app store:
RedPhone
An application that provides encrypted voice calls for Android.
On related idea, there are several smartphone TOR clients.

- HushCrypt is a mobile application which allows registered users to dial and receive encrypted phone calls using internet connection through WiFi or 3G. Both persons involved in a call must have the HushCrypt application installed and active on their phones in order to talk securely
- Kryptos is a secure, fully encrypted voice communications application. Kryptos utilizes military grade 256 bit AES encryption to encrypt voice communications before transmission using 2048 bit RSA for key exchange. Kryptos provides VoIP connectivity for secure calls over 3G, 4G and WiFi. Users will download and install the client software and must then activate their account with Kryptos. Users will create their own personal unique individual ID. Encrypted, secure calls are made peer-to-peer. Both users must have the software in order to use the functionality.
