MEXICAN INVENTIONS

 Luis Miramontes
(March 16, 1925 – September 13, 2004), The invention the first contraceptivewas born in Tepic Nayarit
  He received the patent for the compound with Carl Djerassi and George Rosenkranz, the Mexican chemical company Syntex SA
Historians, however, agree that the invention-or first-synthesis is due to Miramontes.





Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena
Guadalajara, Jalisco, February 17, 1917
scientist, researcher and inventor mexicano.Inventó in 1940 a system for transmittingcolor television, the system trichromatic sequential fields. He also invented later, in 1960,a simpler system to create color, bicolor simplified system


Victor Celorio
 (Mexico City, July 27, 1957)
an inventor, writer, businessman, and former union leader. Lives and works inGainesville, Florida, USA.
has obtained several patents, including the technology popularly known as On DemandBook, or Book of Order, as well as other printing technology for Distributed in which an e-book is distributed among many printing centers as may be required for immediateproduction and delivery, creating a very wide network of libraries and digital libraries.



Jose Hernandez Rebollar
Mexican scientist develops an electronic glove that can turn American sign language into spoken words or written, in order to help the deaf to communicate better with the rest of the world. Researcher Jose Hernandez Rebollar, George Washington University, showed that his "AcceleGlove" can translate the rapid hand movements used to express the alphabet and some words and phrases of sign language.



Maria del Socorro Gonzalez
MEXWII received the 2006 for Mexican women inventors and innovative for its "Diagnosis for early detection of invasive amebiasis."


 


Juan Manuel Lozano  
(Mexico City on May 26th 1954) 
he is a Mexican scientist and inventor with a lifelong obsession with jet packs, this inspired him to invent the Rocket Belt. Juan Lozano’s company Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexicana sells the Rocket Belt for and other rocket propelled wonders for a steep price. According to their website, founder Juan Manuel Lozano has been working with hydrogen peroxide propulsion systems since 1975.

 


 Victor Leaton Ochoa
1850 in Ojinaga, Mexico
He invented and sold the patents on the adjustable or clincher wrench, patented the electric brake for street cars which he sold to the American Brake Co. in 1907 in Seattle; invented a fountain pen and sold the patent to Waterman Co. in 1900 and patented a pen and pencil clip for holding them in the pocket. He sold that patent to the Americna Pen and Pencil Co. in 1907.

TOOLS


1.screwdriver. this tool used to tightening and loosening
usually made of plastic and metal
has a handle to hold it and a metal bar to unscrew, at the tip has a shape depending on the screw
is very importan for engineers.

2. multimeter or a multitester is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit.
may include features such as the ability to measure voltage, current and resistance
A multimeter can be a hand-held device useful for basic fault finding and field service work or a bench instrument which can measure to a very high degree of accuracy.

3. soldering iron.  is a hand tool most commonly used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt the solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces.
is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing an electric current (supplied through an electrical cord or battery cables) through the resistive material of a heating element.









  4.drill. is a tool fitted with a cutting tool attachment or driving tool attachment, usually a drill bit or driver bit, used for drilling holes in various materials or various materials together with the use of fasteners.
The attachment is gripped by a chuck at one end of the drill and rotated while pressed against the target material.

5.pliers.
  are a hand tool used to hold objects firmly, for bending, or physical compression. Generally, pliers consist of a pair of metal first-class levers joined at a fulcrum positioned closer to one end of the levers, creating short jaws on one side of the fulcrum, and longer handles on the other side. This arrangement creates a mechanical advantage, allowing the force of the hand's grip to be amplified and focused on an object with precision. The jaws can also be used to manipulate objects too small or unwieldy to be manipulated with the fingers.







6. hammer. is a tool meant to deliver an impact to an object. The most common uses are for driving nails, fitting parts, forging metal and breaking up objects. Hammers are often designed for a specific purpose, and vary widely in their shape and structure. The usual features are a handle and a head, with most of the weight in the head. The basic design is hand-operated, but there are also many mechanically operated models for heavier uses, such as steam hammers.


8.hand saw. also known as "panel saws", "fish saws", are used to cut pieces of wood into different shapes. They usually operate by having a series of sharp points of some substance that is harder than the wood being cut. The hand saw is a bit like a tenon saw, but with one flat, sharp edge
Handsaws have been around for thousands of years.
Materials for saw blades have varied over the ages. There were probably bronze saws in the time before steel making technology became extensively known and industrialized within the past thousand years or so.

9.Stillson Wrench. is an adjustable wrench used for turning soft iron pipes and fittings with a rounded surface. The design of the adjustable jaw allows it to rock in the frame, such that any forward pressure on the handle tends to pull the jaws tighter together. Teeth angled in the direction of turn dig into the soft pipe. They are not intended for use on hardened steel hex nuts or other fittings because they would ruin the head; however, if a hex nut is soft enough that it becomes rounded beyond use with standard wrenches, a pipe wrench is sometimes used to break the bolt or nut free. They are usually made of either steel or aluminium. Teeth, and jaw kits (which also contain adjustment rings and springs) can be bought to repair broken wrenches, as this is cheaper than buying a new wrench.
10. Breadboard.
is a construction base for prototyping of electronics. 
Because the solderless breadboard does not require soldering, it is reusable. A stripboard (veroboard) and similar prototyping printed circuit boards, which are used to build permanent soldered prototypes or one-offs, cannot easily be reused. 
A solderless breadboard consists of a perforated block of plastic with numerous tin plated phosphor bronze or nickel silver alloy spring clips under the perforations. The clips are often called tie points or contact points. The number of tie points is often given in the specification of the breadboard.
