Energy-Efficient Cost-Effective Source of Warmth - Mouse Hand Warmer Products

ValueRays Infrared Heat - Warm Mouse, Heated Mouse Pad, Heated Keyboard

By H. John Griffin II

Have you decided to build an energy efficient house? What are some products that you can use in your house if you want to create an energy efficient house? This article will give two examples of energy efficient products.

One of the products that you will want to use is energy efficient insulation. In your house you want to make sure that the heat flows properly. This will help to cut the cost of both heating and cooling your house. With the proper flow, you won't have to increase or decrease the heat or air conditioning thermostat. With the installation of energy efficient insulation, your house will be more comfortable.

Heat tends to flow from warmer areas of the house to cooler areas of the house. With proper energy efficient insulation, the cooler areas will get warmer as the warm air moves to these places, and the heat in the summer will go from the outside part of your house to the inside of your house.The efficiency of insulation is measured by something known as the R-value. The actual value is based on the how thick and dense the insulation is as well as what kind is insulation is used. If the R-value is high, then you have insulation that is efficient.

A product that uses insulation and also helps to make your home energy efficient is a product known as the All Wall System. This concrete and insulation wall system conserves heat and air cooled energy. This system will help to reduce your monthly heating and cooling bills and will implement the use of smaller heating and cooling devices.

The All Wall System walls do more than cut down on the biggest types of energy loss. The concrete gives them the heat-absorbing property, "thermal mass". It keeps the walls of the house a little warmer when the outdoor temperature hits its coldest extreme, and keeps the house a little cooler when the outdoor temperature is hottest. The walls themselves "add back" heat or cooling to the house when it needs them most. This contributes about 12% of the needed energy to the house for free. Due to the savings in energy, the cost of the energy will be reduced. Less energy is needed, so the size of the furnaces and compressors will be smaller.

In conclusion, these two products are examples of the way people can save energy when they build new homes. If you are interested in building a home that will be cost efficient month after month, these systems and products should be used in the home.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Carpal tunnel is defined by compression of the median nerve at the level of the wrist. This nerve passes through the carpal tunnel along with nine tendons which help you bend your fingers. The "tunnel" is created by the carpal bones and transverse carpal ligament. When inflammation occurs at the wrist this creates pressure on the nerve. The pressure leads to symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the fingers, pain radiating up the arm, and night pain. These symptoms can be evident when driving, holding newspapers and dropping objects. Compression of the nerve can result from repetitive use of the hands and writs, diabetes, and/or hormonal changes such as pregnancy.

DeQuervain's Syndrome: Also known as "washerwoman's sprain" this syndrome can be a product of overuse. This is and inflammatory disorder in which pain and discomfort is felt along the edge of the thumb and wrist. The tendons that straighten your thumb become inflamed following prolonged repetitive activity. The symptoms include tenderness at the base of the thumb, aching over the side aspect of the thumb and wrist. This discomfort can be aggravated by bending the thumb or straightening the thumb and with various wrist motions.

Tendinitis: General terminology for inflammation of a tendon. This may result from overuse or repetitive use of hand or wrist within varied activities.

New Computer Mouse Is Also a Heart Rate Monitor

A mouse pad to keep your mouse hand warm.

by Donald Melanson

Watches that monitor your heart rate may be commonplace these days (because, you know, they're actually useful), but a mouse that keep watch on your ticker -- well, that's something you don't see everyday. ASUS seems to think that's a shame, however, and it's set out to rectify things somewhat with its new heart-monitoring Vito W1 wireless mouse.

Apart from an apparently really simple heart-monitoring application that comes with it though, this one looks to be about as standard as wireless mice get, with it boasting a 1,200 dpi resolution, a 2.4GHz USB receiver, five programmable buttons and not much else. No word on a price just yet, nor is there any indication of a planned release 'round these parts.

Dear Oprah & Doctor Oz.... help us solve the cold mouse hand problem!

Searching for an answer to define the "cold mouse hand" syndrome, Oprah and Doctor Oz were sent an online letter. We haven't heard back from them, and if/when we do, you'll read about it here.

Here's what we wrote:

Many people may not be aware of a condition called "Cold Mouse Hand." It affects computer users who work using a computer mouse. It's not carpal tunnel and shouldn't be confused with other mouse hand medical conditions. I believe the "cold mouse hand" problem is a fairly new discovery.

I started using a computer in the early 90's, and I owned and operated an ecommerce site for over 12 years. My work required me to sit in front of a computer using the mouse. A/C offices, fans, drafts and chilly weather would cause my mouse hand to get so cold my finger tips would become numb. The only relief to the cold mouse hand was to stop working, and that was not an option. I tried pulling a sweater over my mouse hand and wear fingerless gloves to keep it warm and that didn't work. I bought computer gadgets that promised to keep the mouse hand warm, and they were either non-ergonomic, caused pain, or were too small.

In February 2007, after suffering from a cold mouse hand for many years, I decided to obtain a provisional patent for a "Mouse House Hand Warmer" to address and fix the problem. But, I was still too busy operating my business to do anything with the patent.

In May 2008, I sold my ecommerce site and decided to research the cold mouse hand problem to focus on a solution. I was surprised to discover the problem was experienced by many people.

In June 2008, I made a Mouse Hand Warmer using blanket fabric, tested the prototype, and it worked. The Mouse Hand Warmer was born! I don't suffer anymore from a cold mouse hand.

If Doctor Oz finds the mouse hand syndrome, not carpal tunnel, but the "cold mouse hand" problem, an interesting, new topic, please ask him to shed some light on this mysterious computer geeks' situation. If you look for little inventions to address new problems, I will participate by sharing the problem and the solution with your audience. I hope you find this story and it's solution unique and worthy of a discussion topic.

Mouse hand pain from the cold

Use an ergonomic shaped mouse inside a mouse house hand warmer blanket to keep your mouse hand warm and free of cold pain.

from PR LOG

It is critical that the hand using the mouse be able to preserve core temperature steady. This thermal balance must be maintained to preserve normal functioning as well as provide energy for activity. The body's mechanisms for generating heat ,metabolism, has to meet the challenge presented by low temperature, wind and wetness - the three major challenges of cold environments.

It is vital to recognize that as a result of heat loss, overall circulation is reduced. This makes the hand more susceptible to cold injuries. Uncomfortably cold working conditions can lead to lower work efficiency and higher accident rates. Cold impairs the performance of tasks. Manual tasks are also impaired because the sensitivity and dexterity of fingers are reduced in the cold. At low temperatures, the cold affects the deeper muscles resulting in reduced muscular strength and stiffened joints.

Mental alertness is reduced due to cold-related discomfort. For all these reasons accidents are more likely to occur in very cold working conditions.Arthritis can occur in men and women of all ages. About 37 million people in America have arthritis of some kind, which is almost 1 out of every 7 people.You need healthy circulation to feed the muscles fresh oxygen and nutrients vital for repair and to flush out toxic chemical byproducts which restrict the flexibility of the muscle which ultimately puts excessive stress on your tendons and joints. Your warm mouse will prevent the cold discomfort also arthritis and other bone diseases may occur.

Working in cold environments can cause stiff joints, poor circulation and hand pain. The warm mouse improve blood circulation in your fingers, thumbs and fingertips. This amazing process can help to reverse damage done from overworked joints. Infrared rays can actually help to produce better enzymes within the cells of the muscle. Heat therapy is becoming a popular way to ease the pain of tendonits and aid the tendons in recovery. There are a large number of heat techniques that can be implemented for curing back pain.

Heat can prove to be a very good medication for treating hand pain. A warm mouse will do the job for you as long as you are staying in front of your computer at home or at work. This is some of the simplest forms of heat therapy that are used by a large number of people to free themselves or to prevent hand pain. Heat therapy aids any tendon injury, getting it to heal with minimal scar tissue formation and with as much realignment of tendon fibres as possible. Your warm computer mouse will maintain your hand although hands are the most exposed to dangerous bone diseases.

Keep your hands warm this winter

Product Reviews:

Mouse Hand Warmers:

If you sit and work at the computer for long hours and your mouse hand gets cold from being exposed to the chilly air, there's a solution. The Mouse Hand Warmer is designed to insulate body heat by keeping your mouse hand covered with a warm, fleece, cozy blanket. Slip your favorite mouse pad and mouse inside the hand warmer and work with plenty of room for movement. The non slip surface keeps the mouse pad secure on your desk top. Uses no electricity and has no cords to get tangled on your desk. This is one of the best, new computer gadgets we discovered to keep your mouse hand covered and warm. Works good in air-conditioned offices, too. Keep it on hand all year long. — Bernie Karr

Powered Heaters Gloves:

With the northeast hit by a mammoth snowstorm over the weekend, it's time to break out the serious winter gear. But even the thickest gloves can only do so much to warm chilly fingers. Gloves with powered heaters can help, though it'll be back to blowing on your hands when you run out of juice. Good thing that's all you have to do to give your hands some extra warmth when you have a pair of Gorgonz Exhale gloves. Built into each mitt is a small port that funnels air through valves into pockets around your fingers. When it gets cold, all you have to do is follow instinct and blow warm air from your lungs into the ports, and the Exhale system does the rest — delivering the heat all the way to your fingertips. Best of all, it doesn't need any power, so spend your battery money on some hot chocolate instead. — Peter Pachal
