Zhang Xiaolan holds her patent at her family's home in Xinyang http://www.grizzliesprostore.com/kids-allen-iverson-grizzlies-jersey/ , Henan province, September 24, 2017. Zhang Xiaolan, an 18-year-old girl from a village in Henan Province has invented a system which automatically switches a vehicle's lights between high and low beams, which she's now been able to patent.
Coming from an underdeveloped rural area of Henan, Zhang Xiaolan's family doesn't even own a car.
"My dad has poor eyesight due to an industrial accident, so it's unsafe for him to walk at night Zach Randolph Jersey ," Zhang Xiaolan explained, "He gets blurred vision when a car's lights are on high beam."
Out of her concern about her father's safety, Zhang decided to improve the way car headlights work, beginning her project during her second year in high school.
"Convex lenses, light screens and photoreceptive circuits are used to judge the brightness of a car's headlights," said Zhang Xiaolan. "Two cars equipped with this device are able to switch automatically from high beam to low beam when they meet head-on."
The automatic auto high-low beam switcher Zhang Xiaolan invented gained a patent from the State Intellectual Property Bureau in August, 2016.
A manufacturer from Guangdong Province has already requested Zhang Xiaolan allow her product to be used in their vehicles.
Zhang Xiaolan is not resting on her one invention. She has enrolled in Jilin University.
"Given there are more opportunities at university Shareef Abdur-Rahim Jersey , I'd like to make more inventions in the future," said Zhang.

VALLETTA, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Malta is to host a major conference on best practices in island and coastal biosphere reserves from March 24 to 26 to help the country develop its own protected biosphere reserve, as it is currently without one.
The conference, put on by the Maltese National Commission for UNESCO, will see international participants attend workshops to analyze biosphere reserves in their respective countries and discuss future plans.
There are over 610 biosphere reserves in the world at present. Professor Henry Frendo Mike Bibby Jersey , the chairman of the Maltese National Commission for UNESCO, said the closest thing to such a site in the Maltese Islands so far is Dwejra in Gozo, the second largest island in the country.
Dwejra has the Fungus Rock, an inland sea, the azure window and various endemic fauna and flora, in addition to particular geological formations and archaeological remains.
As the world's population grows and urbanization encroaches on natural spaces, biosphere parks are becoming all the more important 'for people and nature to co-exist Mario Chalmers Jersey ,' as an added input to sustainable development, Frendo added.
Being small, over-populated and built up, Malta "desperately need ecological open spaces where man and nature can inter-act," he said.
Since the early 90s there has been quite a bit of change in the world economy. This change can be seen in how countries interact with one another, how many Third World countries are coming out of poverty, and the general shift in how work is being done. In this article multiple ways in which the world economy has changed will be examined Marc Gasol Jersey , both for the good and the bad.
One of the biggest signs that the world economy is shifting is the way in which Third World countries, such as China and India, have come out of near poverty to become major influences within the world economy. They have quickly surpassed such major economies as France, the United Kingdom, and Germany to become major powers, and have a major influence over the money in the world. These countries, once known for mediocre products and an overabundance of people Lorenzen Wright Jersey , are now producing many of the world’s major brands and shipping them throughout the world. India is producing top-notch engineers, IT professionals, and business professionals at an astounding rate.
While these countries are thriving, other countries are still continuing their battle to just simply get by. These impoverished nations struggle to provide food, water, and basic essentials such as schooling to their population. It is true that the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. Unfortunately for these nations their struggle may continue for decades to come.
One of the largest shifts that we see here in the United States is a transition away from “normal” jobs such as mining, manufacturing Jevon Carter Jersey , and farming. These industries, once a stronghold in the United States, have largely been outsourced, or were taken over by major corporations that have reduced much of the major workforce in these industries. Knowledge work, such as banking, finance, technical computer programming Jaren Jackson Jr. Jersey , account management, and high-level engineering are all much more valued in the United States. This is in stark contrast to what the United States was built on in prior centuries.
