It is one half of an electric heater used for instantaneously thawing and browning precooked frozen bratwursts. The frozen brats are propelled through the center of the heater by compressed air.

A seismograph.
Or laser diode.

Summary:At room temperature (296K), continuous-wave (CW) operation of a blue laser diode has been achieved. The emission wavelength is 489.9nm, and the threshold current and voltage are 93mA (1.5kA/cm2) and 6.3V, respectively. The laser consists of a ZnCdSe/ZnSSe/ZnMgSSe single-quantum-well (SQW) separate-confinement heterostructure (SCH)

Digitally processed topographic data for regional tectonic evaluations

Earthquake hazards. Nearly all lineaments on synoptic-scale images are expressions of topographic features. Desirable to include analysis of digital elevation data in regional evaluations. These data have higher spatial resolution than Landsat and are less expensive. Example comparison for Wallula Gap, Washington.--Modified journal abstract.

It looks like an electric heater that goes over some cylindrical object. I think those are the wires for the heating elements that are coming in from the righthand side. The numbers are the temperatures achieved when it is on.

I have no idea.
I glows purple at almost 800 degrees??? I need more details. What's it made of? Some kind of ceramic I'm guessing.
Whatever it is, I'm sure I could find a use for it if it can hold those temps efficiently.
Oh wait, I didn't see the spot that's almost 1k. WTH is it? I'm a sucker for stuff like this.

Could it possibly be a new age toothbrush?
so good it's topsecret
if I had to bet money on it, I would say its the part of your car where the shift thing goes up and down,,
you know the thingy?

My guess is that the numbers on top are temperatures and the item is a heat exchanger.

I think it's a nano-sized electronic component of some larger useful information processing device.

Look like a form of a gas burner.

It almost looks like a condensor or some type of electrode.
