the cost of silicon cells substantially

The institute has its three latest award-winning innovations: Light&Light, the first A19 all-plastic LED light bulb; a low-cost, easy-to-use voltage and current meter called AVA-Clamp; and SideLighter, billed as “the first low-cost, high-performance, transparent concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar panel” that can be used both as a structural panel or window and to generate clean, renewable electricity.

A ‘light-guiding solar concentrator film/panel,’ ITRI’s SideLighter can be incorporated into windows and building and roofing materials, as well as solar power systems. “A light-guiding solar concentrator panel/film can be integrated with a small number of solar cells to develop a rooftop solar system with building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems that can save the cost of silicon cells substantially and is also transparent,” ITRI explains in a press release.

Sidelighter’s solar PV cells cost 93% less to produce than current PV cells, which contributes to a 46% reduction in building CPV solar panels, according to ITRI. The institute is already working with Infinite Solar Optics Enterprise and Chi Lin Technology to mass produce SideLighter for some applications. ITRI has posted a video showing and describing SideLighter’s applications and performance on YouTube.

Similarly, at less than 100 grams, the Light&Light A19 all-plastic LED light bulb is small and highly efficient. According to ITRI, it uses less than 10 watts to produce the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent light bulb, with an illumination angle of 300 degrees at a price that’s 10-20% that of competing LED light bulbs. That can save 85% on light bulb power consumption.

the same time we feel there is plenty more growth to come

We are now firmly established worldwide as a leading manufacturer of professional image-processing technology, yet at the same time we feel there is plenty more growth to come.”

Underlining the company’s potential for future growth, Calibre UK will use ISE as the launch platform for a number of new products designed to broaden its offering for the pro-AV and systems integration market.

The Calibre LEDView530 is a highly flexible image scaler and switcher especially developed for driving very large LED screens from video and/or graphics sources. The processor has applications anywhere LED walls are used – from live concerts and corporate events through to outdoor advertising and digital signage.The LEDView530 is proving to be Calibre UK’s most popular product in the rental/staging market with several leading companies in this sector already moving to LEDView530 as their preferred scaler.

The LED light energy into cellular energy

With LED lamps, scientists use two beams of light – red (R) and blue (B) with the maximum wavelength of 662nm and 430nm. At that time, the LED spectrum almost coincides with the absorption spectrum of the chlorophyll of plants. Thus, the plants can absorb the light energy at maximum level and turn the LED light energy into cellular energy.

Meanwhile, the highest possible efficiency of using solar energy and white light sources would be 35 percent only.As such, lighting with LED lamps would bring higher biology energy efficiency, thus allowing to better stimulate the growing of the plants than other familiar lamps. Especially, LED lamps would help save electricity.

Fluorescent lamps used in tissue culture would consume 30 – 40 percent of electricity, and 82 percent in the plant breeding enterprises. Meanwhile, with LED lamps, the volume of power to be consumed would be much lower.At plantation enterprises, if using LED lamps, one square meter of plantation area would need 0.27 kwh of electricity, while it would need 0.5 kwh with other kinds of lamps.

Scientists have also affirmed that the use of LED lamps in agriculture production would help improve the quality of farm produce, increase the nutrition value and reduce the nitrate concentration in vegetables and fruits. This also allows creating clean off-season products with high economic values.

In the case of occupant responsive lighting

Daintree’s ControlScope solution will be used to control existing fluorescent lights in one building and to control Cree’s lights in another building. Powell notes that one of the advantages of LEDs is their inherent controllability, but the agency still doesn’t know if the cost-benefit is right.

“The point is to see whether or not we can cost-effectively install that at market prices today,” said Powell. But cost isn’t the only factor; occupant satisfaction and maintainability also play a part in evaluating technology.

In the case of occupant responsive lighting, the technology saved 27 percent over baseline conditions for spaces illuminated 12 hours a day, five days a week -- and occupants embraced the upgrades. For LEDs, the savings will have to significantly beat what’s achievable with controllable fluorescents to make inroads with GSA.

Daintree Networks and Cree are already working together with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, delivering the joint solution at a wholesale distributor. The retrofit to the office and breakroom resulted in more than 91 percent savings.

its program focuses on maintaining a favorable relationship with experts in the education field

Csaba Remenyi, managing director of Oracle Hungary said, "This is not brain drain; we export knowledge but brains themselves remain here in Hungary."

 Hungary's ailing economy is desperate for a rise in the employment rate after the country was hit hard by the economic crisis and is slowly emerging from that. The average unemployment rate from June to August was 10.4%. To counter this effect, the government has pledged to cooperate with manufacturers as well as research and development firms. The government isn't providing any financial backing for these developments but its program focuses on maintaining a favorable relationship with experts in the education field.

The eco-friendly LED strip lighting consumes very low power and is economical. And some Mumbaikars have already started enjoying the illuminated site as they zoom past from under the flyover as certain portion of it has got the series installed.

The lighting is also water proof and gives effect of beautification of the structure built early this year by the metropolitan administration. The MMRDA has already illuminated about 200 meters of the flyover. It's a very welcome development which, in fact, offers a pleasant view in the midst of a concrete jungle.

the new product line of LED Street Lights from their new Naples

On this note, the Sri Lanka's Ministry of Water Management is scheduled to visit the U.S next week for an official review of Apollo Metro Solutions' live working Automatic Meter Reading System prior to signing a definitive agreement for a wireless central network with digital meters that MESH together.

The unfolding partnership between Viper Networks and Apollo Metro Solutions is already exceeding expectations since Viper's CEO is directly responsible for closing two Sri Lanka pilot projects and Apollo is ahead of their first of New Year production schedule by already manufacturing the new product line of LED Street Lights from their new Naples, Florida operations.

According to the firm, the panel was made by arranging LED packages on a plane surface and covering them with a light diffusion plate. It emits light from the entire surface of the panel like an OLED lighting panel.By using its fluorescent material technologies, Rohm realized a general color rendering index (Ra) as high as 98 and prevented the sulfuration of lead frame, which lowers color rendering index.

In general, silver plating of an LED package's lead frame, on which an LED chip is mounted, is reacted with hydrogen sulfide contained in the air coming through the package material and blackened, gradually lowering color rendering index. The LED package developed by Rohm has a white resin layer that reflects light between the package material and lead frame to prevent the sulfuration.
