Rich Digital Features, High Density, Fast Time to Market and High Reliability Offer Differentiation and Acceleration to Aggressive Board Designers

DALLAS — March 1, 2016 — As the demand for data, analysis and access mushrooms globally, so does the need for increased computational and processing capacity. To accommodate the components necessary to provide this desired capacity, circuit board designers must find ways to get the most out of their available, valuable board space. Helping to address this, ​ GE’s Critical Power business​ (NYSE: GE) has launched its

new ​ Pico SlimLynxTM family​ of DC­DC converters, enabling board designers and engineers to ​ design in the negative space​ by providing digital on­board power where space, height and airflow are extremely limited.

SlimLynx, the new, low­profile, digital series from GE, enables engineers to use power modules in very tight spaces such as underneath boards, in mezzanine structures and in very dense power applications. The product family includes digital and analog solutions in 3­, 6­ and 12­ampere (amp) offerings, with the 12­amp version measuring just one­third the size of other industry­standard modules of the same power capacity.

The thin, feature­rich DC­DC converters deliver 12­amp power at a settable 0.45­5.5­volt output from a DC input of between 3­14.4 volts, without the need for an external drive voltage. The units are able to achieve this power conversion capability in a space­saving, DOSA­standard footprint of just 12­by­12­by­2.9 millimeters.

“Imagine if your car battery and alternator were one­third of their size. That reduction in size would allow auto designers to use the extra space to pack in additional features under the hood to increase horsepower.

This is essentially what the improved power density of our Pico SlimLynx does on a printed circuit board. We are enabling electronics designers to incorporate more computing, communication and control horsepower into their board architectures,” said Karim Wassef, general manager of the Embedded Power product line for GE’s Critical Power business.

Today, many digital converters tend to be either bulky or offer minimal functionality. Others offer limited performance at high temperatures without airflow or are only available in non­standard footprints. GE’s digital Pico SlimLynx converters provide the power conversion density and flexibility needed to address global challenges associated with the rapidly expanding computational hunger of board designers.

Additional features of GE’s Pico SlimLynx modules include digital communication and control through PMBus, a standard digital interface and a compact, lead­free design. Adding even greater design flexibility, GE’s new product family also includes fully compatible analog options, enabling drop­in replacement at a reduced cost.

“Engineers across all industries are looking for ways to miniaturize their power solutions to allow more space for computational engines,” Wassef continued. “By improving power conversion density and designing in ways that enable modules to be placed in previously unused space, we are able to help designers recapture valuable printed circuit board real estate for additional components be installed — improving overall board­mounted processing capacity.”

The easy­to­use Pico SlimLynx modules offer improved time to market compared to discrete components.

Their low height and high power density enable the modules to be installed in ultra­slim configurations in a broad array of applications — such as data center, wired and wireless telecom, networking, servers and storage, industrial, medical and military solutions. The Pico SlimLynx modules comply with IPC­9592 power conversion standards, providing the reliability required for software­defined networks.

Pricing for GE’s digital Pico SlimLynx modules begins at $4.08 for the 3­amp unit, $5.82 for 6­amp and $7.59 for the 12­amp module. Pricing for analog modules begins at $3.06, $5.22 and $6.72 for the 3­amp, 6­amp, and 12­amp modules (respectively). These prices are available when purchased at original equipment manufacturer quantities. For more information, please visit http://www.geindustrial.com/products/embedded­power/slimlynx​ .

A Drawer Unlike Any Other: Grass Vionaro Comes to Häfele Archdale, North Carolina, USA, March 1, 2016 Clean. Sleek. Stylish. These are all adjectives one could use to describe the latest addition to the Häfele America Co. functional hardware offerings: the Grass Vionaro drawer system.

Adding the Grass Vionaro to Häfele’s already robust line of drawer options makes ideal sense. In a way, it’s slim, minimalist box and double­walled design is exactly the sort of thing customers have been clamoring for on account of its superior performance and clean, sleek look.

“The look and the functionality of the Grass Vionaro fits perfectly with Häfele’s tradition of making the inside of a cabinet just as beautiful as the outside,” explains Karen Armour, product manager for Häfele America Co. “This is an elegant yet strong option for practically any kitchen, bathroom or other home storage application.”

Mounted on Grass Dynapro rack and pinion slides, the Grass Vionaro has a maximum load capacity of 88 lbs. Available dimensions cover all of today’s popular sizes including 15”, 18” and 21” depths for drawer boxes up to 48” wide. The Grass Vionaro can be had in 3 ½” inch or 7 ¼” heights, making it a great option for regular and deep­depth base cabinet drawers. Stocking finishes include Graphite and Silver Grey.

Taking function beyond the standard drawer box, the addition of aluminum fronts make the Grass Vionaro an excellent choice for internal pullouts too – whether it be to store fine china, kitchen appliances or even typical pantry staples.

Häfele’s Growth is Especially Strong Abroad INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

Archdale, North Carolina, USA, February 22, 2016 The international Häfele Group for hardware technology and electronic access control systems ended 2015 with a satisfyingly positive result. The company group achieved revenue of 1.272 billion Euro (2014: 1.144 billion). This represents a growth of 11 % compared to the previous year. This meant the family business based in the Swabian town of Nagold continued on a path of remarkable growth despite the various crises ongoing around the world.

With a rise of +16%, it is the 37 foreign­based subsidiaries that are to be accredited with this increase in sales. As announced by the company management, it is these international markets that ­ apart from the odd exception ­ have performed markedly well, with the broad growth also bolstered by foreign exchange rate developments outside of the Euro zone in 2015. Strong growth was especially apparent in the USA, Great Britain, India and Australia, so making a considerable contribution to the double­digit rate of growth. Häfele is now generating 79% of its revenue abroad.

This development is also reflected in the number of employees. It rose by 200 to 7,100 worldwide.

For its part, the parent company in Germany performed well again following a weaker first six months to the year. This is due not least to the international IT conversion project. In the light of this, the 1% rise is a satisfactory result and the forecast for this year is for growth to return to about the 5% mark. The number of employees in Germany remains unchanged at 1,600.

Growth through strength “Strong regional diversification is enabling us to share to a large degree in the growth outside of Europe”, is how the situation is summed up by Sibylle Thierer, Managing Director, who took over management of the family­owned company rich in tradition in 2004 and now represents the 3rd generation. “The last decade has been largely shaped by the tremendous dynamism exhibited by our Asian subsidiaries. The international know­how and expertise we have gained from this, has allowed us to steer the whole Häfele organisation into the future, ensuring that we continue to remain profitable and so be able to grow under our own steam.”

Häfele is represented in over 150 countries throughout the world and has independent sales subsidiaries in 37 countries. With 23 sales subsidiaries operating for 15 years or more, the philosophy of staying in close contact with customers, which Häfele has lived by for many decades, enables the company to produce a range of products and services which are all tailored to their customers’ needs. The products and services of the corporate group are used by the world’s leading furniture manufacturers, architects and planners, joiners/cabinet makers and dealers. This backdrop of superlative product and market expertise has been the setting in which global and local product ranges have been developed to meet the various requirements down through the years. These

products are then manufactured in one of the company’s six production facilities or in line with the “Häfele German Quality standards” at one of the locations of their 1,500 partners spread around the globe.

Own house assortments for global success In recent years, Häfele has made considerable investments in the development of its own house assortments now used around the world. Apart from well­established ranges such as furniture connectors and fittings for sliding doors and furniture flaps, there are also the highly popular Dialock electronic access control systems for project business. These systems are used to open doors in global hotel chains as well as in small family­operated hotels, and we should not forget our Loox LED lighting, which is used in many kitchens and furniture pieces. Both of these highly sought­after ranges are contributing to provide more convenience and luxury in buildings and furniture the world over.

These own house assortments represent Häfele’s dynamic innovative capability. “Our claim is ‘Thinking ahead’, which means that we must already be thinking about what our customers will need in future, today”, says Sibylle Thierer, explaining the family enterprise’s motto. This is likewise reflected in how Häfele has engaged with the current mega­trend that is urbanisation, thanks to which Häfele has developed itself into something of a pace­setter in recent years. And so today ­ guided by the motto “More life per square metre” ­ the company is creating sophisticated hardware fittings for multi­functional furniture with innovative designs and the optimised use of space, making small­scale living and working equally attractive in both the residential and commercial settings.

Hardware fittings with rediscovered importance In view of this situation, Sibylle Thierer thinks the corporate group could not be better steeled for challenges both current and future, and she sums it up so: “The importance of hardware fittings has increased in recent years, especially in the kitchen context. Whereas hinged doors were seemingly ubiquitous just a few years ago, today the look is dominated by drawers with soft closing systems for base units and user­friendly furniture flaps for wall units. And then there’s the Italian sliding kitchen door trend that has now emerged in Germany. Our mission is to make this increasingly complex technology as easy and as user­friendly as possible to those who install these products and to those who buy them. We have identified good opportunities for Häfele to make even more progress.”

Global networking and current challenges Our global network has a crucial role in the future viability of the business. Over the past year, Häfele has invested 30 million Euros in markets, logistics and production with the aim of interlinking the various markets, so as to offer our increasingly internationalised clientele the level of service

they expect. To this end, we have developed global methods of cooperation in order to win over investors, planners and the fabricators.

Outlook for 2016 Häfele has made an optimistic start to the new financial year. In the light of the investments already made in a global standardized IT, in markets, logistics, production and services, the company sees good opportunities for again achieving international growth throughout 2016. “We are anticipating a mid­single digit increase in revenue, due to the fruit borne by our investments and projects”, explains Managing Director, Sibylle Thierer. The amount of investment of the Group for the coming year will be approximately 35 million Euros. Risks continue to be seen in the volatile foreign exchange markets as well the growing number of trouble spots, to which a flexible and careful approach will be applied ­ just as in 2015.

The International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) is proud to announce the selection of light artist ​ LIZ WEST​ as their artist in residence for Light + Building 2016 in Frankfurt, Germany.

IALD is working with trade show organisers Messe Frankfurt to deliver ​ IALD LIGHTING PERSPECTIVES​ , a free two­day conference divided into single presentations. Next door to IALD Lighting Perpsectives, IALD will host a free ​ DESIGNERS LOUNGE​ , where IALD members, lighting designers, attendees of the conference, and industry leaders can relax, connect, and host informal meetings.

But conference rooms are dull, so the IALD has involved the talents of light artist Liz West to make the Designers Lounge an appealing space where you can meet and connect with others – and with light! West’s work focuses on the human reaction to pure colour. In 2015, she exhibited more than 12 works in the United Kingdom, including the internationally acclaimed “​ Your Colour Perception​ .”

West creates vivid environments that mix luminous colour and radiant light. Working across a variety of mediums, she aims to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer through her works.

She is interested in exploring how sensory phenomena can invoke psychological and physical responses that tap into our own deeply entrenched relationships to colour. West's investigation into the relationship between colour and light is often realised through an engagement between materiality and a given site.

As a contributor to IALD Lighting Perspectives, West will be speaking during her session about her past works, her design theory, and her newest creation for the Designer’s Lounge. Don’t miss the chance to hear her perspective and see her work in person at Light + Building!

Great American Knows Commercial Trucking February 23, 2016

Great American, a leader in distribution for Automotive Parts and Hydraulics, initially came to J.W. Speaker in 2012 looking for an innovative lighting solution and a leader in quality. Today, they are one of J.W. Speaker’s main partners, distributing INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

commercial truck lighting across their 80 vendors throughout the southern United States.

Established in 1980, operations for Great American began in a small warehouse in Roswell, Georgia with only 3 employees and 12 direct product lines. The company focused on providing high quality heavy­duty truck and trailer parts for a variety of customers and quickly grew, establishing new offices and warehouses in both Lithia Springs and East Dublin.

Their distribution now supports everything from truck fleets, repair shops, and automotive jobbers, to farmers, construction sites, and municipalities across the southern states, from West Virginia to Alabama.

It was a natural fit when Great American first came to J.W. Speaker in 2012. They were introduced by a business relationship and were quickly attracted to the core company values found at J.W. Speaker. Peter Howson, owner of Great American, explains, “J.W. Speaker had a variety of valuable traits that we commonly look for, but rarely find.”

Peter noted 3 of these traits:

● Highly innovative and quality products. ● Manufactured domestically in USA.

INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

● A vendor which is recognized as superior to its competition.

Peter continues, “The most desirable thing about J.W. Speaker is the value­add they provide to their product line. The safety features and long term cost savings provides a real value for our customers.”

They took notice of the Model 8700 Evolution that first year, and after launching that spring of 2012 they added it to their distribution line for their commercial trucking market. John Howson, president of Great American added, “After seeing the difference that their LED lights could offer, we welcomed the opportunity to partner with J.W. Speaker. We look forward to marketing the innovative and value added products that they provide for years to come!”

Great American became a main distribution partner for J.W. Speaker this year, welcoming a wide assortment of LED headlights for their heavy­duty aftermarket customers. Here at J.W. Speaker, we’re excited about the prospects of jointly growing our business with them and are focused on introducing even more new products for them in 2016!

J.Führ took one look at their market and knew that LED lighting was a must. Today, J.Führ is one of J.W. Speaker’s main partners for Industrial Safety, distributing LED lighting to 24 countries across Europe.

After partnering with J.W. Speaker last year, J.Führ has expanded their LED lighting selection to now encompass a wider variety of work lights and strobe lights.

Alexander Führ, President of J.Führ, says, “From the start, we knew J.W. Speaker was the right partner for us. They were a leader in the market, producing LED technology when it was still in its infancy. We were looking for a partner that could fulfill the needs of our customers today and well into the future. We knew that J.W. Speaker was the one who could do that for us.”

Alex is no stranger to the growing needs of the industrial safety market. His parents started the company J.Führ in 1972. Initially they were selling water pressure boosting systems, which also needed gauges. From these they came to gauges for industrial trucks (hour counters and discharge indicators), which was their first foothold in this market. As the company started to sell these systems to forklift manufacturers, they recognized material handling as a key market and have since grown it into 75% of their annual business.

As they continued working with this market, it became apparent that LED technology was a must. Alex explains, “We quickly recognized that the material handling market was keen for new technologies. Warehouses are often running 3 shifts a day, 24/7, so they see an important benefit in efficiency and reliability in their lighting systems. LED lighting quickly became a focus for us in this market.”

Interested in the Model 405 LED strobe light, a customer of theirs introduced them to J.W. Speaker. “It was an easy fit,” Tilman Linn, Director of Marketing says, “We were on the lookout for an LED partner and with this introduction we found one! Early on J.W. Speaker offered one of the largest ranges of ECE­compliant road approved lights for the forklift market. This showed the capabilities of JWS to be a manufacturer of high tech LED products. And we knew, the speed­to­market was essential for success. Today J.W. Speaker continues to help us supply this demand, of SOTA lighting products to our demanding customers.”

J.W. Speaker is excited to be partners with J.Führ, whose goal is to move further away from commodity­type lights and move more toward these new high­tech products, like their new intelligent work lights. “We want to be known as our customers source for

Lambda Research's latest software installment, TracePro 7.6, includes new diffuser catalogs, new features and a simplified menu structure that broaden the program's capabilities. One of the enhanced features in version 7.6 is the availability of the Makrolon® diffuser sheet catalog from Bayer MaterialScience LLC. TracePro 7.6 users can specify Makrolon® Lumen XT polycarbonate sheet for a variety of optical applications, including luminaires, LED lighting, flat panel displays, consumer electronics and aerospace applications. Dr. Ted Trautman, technology director – polycarbonate sheet products, North America, Bayer MaterialScience LLC stated, "We offer a wide range of diffusion levels within the Makrolon® Lumen XT product line to allow designers the flexibility to optimize LED light fixture efficacy and aesthetics. Optical modeling software such as TracePro allows lighting fixture designers to quickly and economically screen a range of LED and Lumen XT diffuser combinations and geometries."

The TracePro program uses scatter measurements to mathematically describe how light is absorbed, refracted and scattered for each optical element, including Makrolon® Lumen XT polycarbonate sheet.

To specify a grade of Makrolon® polycarbonate sheet, the TracePro user selects the correct Makrolon® polycarbonate sheet surface property from the TracePro Bayer diffuser catalog, then applies the property to the diffuser CAD model in the TracePro model. The user's design will now reflect the properties and behavior of the chosen Makrolon® Lumen XT polycarbonate sheet grade.

Michael Gauvin, vice president – sales and marketing, Lambda Research Corporation, explained, "By having Bayer's material available through TracePro, users don't have to guess how the wide range of Makrolon® diffusers absorb, reflect, refract and scatter light. They now have at their disposal the measured catalog data available in the TracePro optical properties catalog and can use TracePro's virtual prototyping capability to simulate the diffuser in the TracePro model before manufacturing."

This capability reduces trial­and­error prototyping and gives the user the benefit of computer simulation – saving time, money and the effort required to produce prototypes.

LED Engin doubles the flux density from tiny RGBW emitters to set a new standard for industry­leading performance

Narrow­beam stage and architectural lighting made twice as bright without increasing fixture size San Jose, CA, USA: February 18, 2016:​ LED Engin, Inc. has launched a 4­die, high

current, RGBW flat lens LED emitter that sets a new standard for best­in­class flux density in stage, entertainment and architectural lighting. The LZ4­04MDPB emitter delivers more than twice the light output of the company's previous version because each individually addressable green, blue and white die can be driven at up to 3 amps and the red die up to 2.5 amps from the same 2.15mm x 2.15mm light emitting surface as its predecessor. The emitter's output ranges from tungsten­effect white lighting to a full spectrum of brilliant colors in fixtures such as moving heads with zoom optics, directional effect lighting and wall washes...

The tiny emitter, which has a 7mm x 7mm footprint, rapidly and effectively dissipates up to 40 watts of power thanks to the breakthrough performance of a thinner, 4­channel, multilayer ceramic substrate which cuts the thermal resistance to just 0.9 °C/W. This facilitates better heat dissipation, allowing each die to be driven to a higher current without compromising reliability or operating life.

The new emitter has a lower profile substrate and thinner flat glass lens than the previous version. Secondary optics can therefore be positioned closer to the surface, maximizing coupling efficiency to deliver powerful, punchy illumination from fixtures with tightly controlled INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

beam widths down to 4 degrees. Fixture designers can adopt the same secondary lenses and optical design used with any existing flat top RGBW emitters, providing the lenses are rated for the increased temperatures that result from higher power operation.

LED Engin CEO, David Tahmassebi, said, "Once again, we've advanced our proprietary technologies to deliver exactly what customers in these demanding lighting applications have asked us for: ever higher light output without increasing the emitter size. Most importantly, we've done so in a way that ensures sustained performance and long­term reliability."

LZ4­04MDPB emitters are available now from LED Engin and its distributors. For more information, please visit ​ http://www.ledengin.com/files/products/LZ4/LZ4­04MDPB.pdf​ .

Beacon Tune is designed for museum and gallery applications where lighting has a vital role to play in presenting exhibits in the most attractive way. It's also suited to high­end retail environments. In all of these applications, LuxiTune empowers users' creativity by delivering precision control of consistently high quality white light across a wide color temperature and dimming range...

Enabled by LuxiTune, Beacon Tune spotlights feature tuneable white light from a bright 4300K down to a warm 2100K, while maintaining high color rendering index (CRI) with Ra90. They offer exceptionally smooth, flicker­free dimming from 100 to 0.5%. Lamps are available as 26° Spotlights or 42° Floodlights, each producing a nominal 1000lm luminous flux. They are highly efficient (Energy Class A++, A+, A), which minimizes both energy consumption and the amount of heat generated. Beacon Tune's heatsink has been specifically designed to look both aesthetically pleasing but also to effectively manage heat through passive cooling; ensuring 50,000 hours operating life, which reduces maintenance costs.

The LuxiTune platform delivers smooth dynamic lighting by combining correlated color temperature (CCT) and brightness control that precisely tracks the black body curve. Dimming characteristics are virtually indistinguishable from those of incandescent lamps. LED binning to within two MacAdam ellipses ensures part­to­part color consistency. Furthermore, color point stability over time far exceeds Energy Star requirements.

Managing Precious Resources with Luminit Technology Submitted by mgiorgio on Tue, 02/02/2016 ­ 15:18

Luminit scientists have made significant advances in the fabrication of surface relief micro­structures, and our ability to record, imbed and mass produce a sequence of changing­sized hexagonal­packed micro­structures opens up new possibilities for super­hydrophobic and super­hydrophilic surfaces. Because Luminit film is surface structure, the film never needs to be re­applied so the surface will always be super­hydrophobic or super­hydrophilic or a combination of both. Notable advantages to such technology include sustainable agriculture and condensation prevention.

Biomimicry and the Namib Beetle An example of how Luminit technology can be applied in sustainable agriculture comes from the Namib beetle, an insect famous for thriving in world’s driest climate by capturing and repelling water vapor through a series of intricate nanoscale bumps. By mimicking the microscopic hexagonal patterns of these bumps and embedding them in various sizes (from 300 nanometers to much larger) and angles (under or over 90 degrees) onto film, Luminit surface structures can capture vapor, repel vapor and direct vapor to hydrate crops and plants. Imagine Luminit microstructure technology applied to the surface of green houses or biodegradable polymer plastics used in crop production. The impact on agricultural would be monumental. Other practical applications include: •

Portable water capture systems for troops deployed in desert regions

•

Water capture systems applied to residential and commercial buildings

•

The ability to generate an unlimited supply of drinking water on ships

Condensation Prevention Luminit has the capability to embed surface relief microstructures that are so small, they are virtually transparent when recorded onto film. This allows us to place the film on glass and other surfaces where its superhydrophobic qualities will allow condensation to literally roll off the surface. Examples of how this can be applied in real world surfaces include condensation­resistant: •

Windshields used in transportation (automobiles, trains, ships and aviation)

Lighting a New Path for the Automotive Industry Submitted by mgiorgio on Fri, 01/15/2016 ­ 18:38

by Mary Ann Giorgio As automotive manufacturers replace traditional halogen­based lights with more energy­efficient, durable and versatile LEDs, consumers are benefiting from new innovations to vehicle interior and exterior lighting. Luminit’s Light Shaping Diffusers® (LSDs) are actively being used to enhance LED fixtures for commercial INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

and residential lighting and more recently for automotive taillights, auxiliary lighting, dashboard panel illumination, and more.

Changing How We See LED Lights Light Shaping Diffusers® expand what’s possible with light using holographic patterns embedded on polycarbonate or polyester sheets or film. These patterns create a random surface that can manipulate light without changes to the light fixture. One of the most noticeable uses for Luminit’s Light Shaping Diffusers® can be seen in vehicle taillights. The diffusion ability of Luminit LSDs allows lighting designers to homogenize and control the output of an LED light source, and when applied to a taillight, the LED light source or “hot spots” disappear. For example, Luminit’s 100° Light Shaping Diffusers® offer excellent LED hiding power for designers who want to eliminate LED hotspots without losing a significant amount of light. When applied in direct view back­lit designs, this extreme angle LSD film conceals multiple LED light sources and produces a uniform, more aesthetically pleasing plane of light.

When Luminit’s Light Shaping Diffuser® technology is applied to a taillight, the LED light source disappears, resulting in a far more appealing and dramatic effect In addition to the dramatic effects of uniformity, Luminit has created specialty Light Shaping Diffuser® films that can transform interior lighting to create brilliant and random patterns. The technology can be used on dashboards, door panels, interior ceilings, trim lights, or almost anywhere LED lights are used in the vehicle.

Specialty Light Shaping Diffuser® film applied to an embossed chrome film reflector creates an alluring optical pattern.

Another area being explored is the use of injection molded Light Shaping Diffuser® lenses for automotive interior and exteriors lighting applications. The monolithic integration of Luminit’s LSD microstructures into a fixture results in a rigid lens with very high light transmission and a controlled beam pattern. These lenses can be designed to fit a bulb or fixture with the appropriate mechanical tabs or clips molded in and can be produced at low cost in quantities of 10,000 or more.

Holographic Imaging Films Holographic Optical Elements (HOE) is another Luminit technology gaining momentum in the automotive industry. Based on Luminit’s Substrate­Guided Wave based Holographic technology (SGWH), these films combine a holographic image area, acrylic guide and an LED light source to create what appears to be a magical manipulation of light. Transparent in the off state, the LED light source travels to the holographic image area unseen by the naked eye. Uses include interior lighting and trim, manufacturer logos, Heads­up Displays and Center High Mounted Stop Lamps (CHMSL).

Luminit’s Holographic Optical Element technology in vehicles include Center High Mounted Stop Lamps, interior lighting, logo projection, heads­up displays and interior trim.

The Road Ahead The efficiency and design advantages of LED­based fixtures will continue to evolve and change what’s possible with automotive exterior and interiors lighting.

Luminus Announces Ultra High Density COBs to Replace Metal Halide in Retail Spot Applications Sunnyvale, Calif., May 4, 2015 ­ Luminus, Inc., a global manufacturer of high­performance LEDs , announced today a new family of ultra high density chip on board (COB) arrays designed to replace ceramic metal halide technology commonly used in spot lights for retail lighting. The new “XH” series COBs are available in a variety of standard light emitting surface (LES) diameters including 6, 9, 11, and 14mm, which means that customers can use their existing ecosystems for optics and connectors, while producing new bulbs and fixtures with higher lumen output and increased center beam candle power(CBCP). The 9mm and 11 mm XH series COBs deliver the lumen output and high quality of light to replace 39W and 70W metal halide sources respectively. With a tiny form factor, the 6mm XH series at 3000K 80CRI generates 1500 lumens, and when combined with a 85mm diameter optic, throws an 8 degree beam with CBCP of over 30,000 Cd. David Davito, product marketing director at Luminus, notes, “The high lumen density of our XH series is enabling our customers to replace metal halide by taking advantage of our high quality of light and shaping the beam into narrow spots with high CBCP while still maintaining small form factors in their bulb and luminaire designs. This results in more attractive retail displays where spot lights with more ’punch‘ will draw the consumers’ eyes to targeted garments and merchandise, while also reducing energy bills, of course.” The XH series is available in a wide range of popular CCT and CRI combinations, including the 95 CRI minimum AccuWhite™ and below black body Sensus™options, which Luminus launched last year and have been adopted in premium retail applications around the globe. As with all Luminus COB products, the XH series is 100% specified and tested at 85°C to guarantee hot performance in the application. Luminus will be exhibiting the XH series and other new illumination light sources at LightFair International in New York City from May 5 – May 7 in booth 2141. About Luminus, Inc.

The Industry 4.0 revolution is enabling smarter factories to increase productivity and manufacturing flexibility. IO­Link sensors enable this revolution by bringing intelligence and control down to the factory floor. Sensors are getting smaller and need to deliver more functionality, while ensuring robust communications. Power is also critical because these sensors are small and it is difficult to dissipate heat. The MAX14827 dual­channel, 250mA transceiver meets these requirements, while also integrating high­voltage functions commonly found in industrial sensors, including drivers and regulators. It features two ultra­low power drivers with active reverse­polarity protection to reduce downtime.

For sensors that use a microcontroller, a SPI™ interface is available with extensive diagnostics. For IO­Link operation, a three­wire UART interface is provided, allowing interfacing to the microcontroller UART. Finally, a multiplexed UART/SPI option allows using one serial microcontroller interface for shared SPI and UART interfaces. The device includes on­board 3.3V and 5V linear regulators for low­noise analog/logic supply rails.

MagnaShade® Offers a Big Solution with a Narrow Profile LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y.—MagnaShade is a revolutionary shade system that is super­wide and motorized. It does the work of multiple shade bands, covering an area of up to 800 square feet (74 square meters) without light gaps. But unlike conventional wide shades, MagnaShade also features a narrow profile.

MagnaShade® is a super­wide shade with a narrow profile. MagnaShade’s modular design includes a unique cradle element that adds rigid support to the shade tube without increasing its diameter.

This means the overall size of the system is astonishingly small. This design reduces installation hassles, adds security, and, by making an economical use of architectural space, is more accommodating of the design intent. Features: Shading or blackout at widths of up to 40 ft. (12m).

Narrow, curved profile of about 6 in. (15cm). No tube deflection. Better support of the

architectural­design intent. Easier to bring into buildings and install than conventional wide shades.

Standard wiring. Available with a wide range of shadecloths.

Daylighting Key in Award­Winning Sustainability Strategy LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y.—The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Headquarters has been named one of the ten most sustainable buildings of 2013 by the American Institute of Architects. Daylighting is a key part of PUC’s sustainability strategy, complementing a novel wastewater recycling system, a roof­mounted photovoltaic array, vertical­axis wind turbines, and an earthquake­resilient, concrete structure. The 13­story glass office tower requires up to 45% less energy to illuminate its interior than typical Class A office buildings. It welcomes daylight, but also manages it automatically, using SolarTrac® .

SolarTrac is MechoSystems’ automated shade­control system. It raises and lowers interior window shades based on the position of the sun and sky conditions. The system harvests the maximum amount of natural light to reduce the energy consumption from electric lighting. It also improves the comfort of occupants by adjusting the shades to control brightness and glare. The SolarTrac System also provides automated control of exterior Venetian blinds (EVBs) on the top two stories of the PUC building. EVBs under automated control reduce the workload of the building’s HVAC system by helping to alleviate solar­heat gain. PUC Headquarters is expected to consume 32% less energy than similar­size buildings and is projected to reward taxpayers with $118 million in savings over 75 years.

Neoti Tech Tip: Reduce the Moiré Effect One of the great challenges that a photographer or videographer faces while shooting an LED screen is the moiré (pronounced mwah­re) effect. Read on to learn why it happens and how to help dampen it’s effects.

A quick and easy explanation of moiré is this: visual deformation caused by overlapping lines. The easiest way to see this with your own eyes is to lay a mesh screen on top of another one at a slight angle. That wavy visual phenomenon is the moiré effect in all it’s distracting glory.

The LED’s that are arranged on a LED video screen form a grid pattern of horizontal and vertical lines, much like a mesh screen, and the camera’s digital sensor is also comprised of a very tight

array of horizontal and vertical lines. When these two “meshes” collide then Ms. Moiré makes her wavy­patterned unwelcome appearance.

Here’s a quick video showing one way to keep moire at bay when using a cell phone camera: The consensus in the industry to combat the on­camera moiré effect with LED screens is to slightly soften the focus on the screen itself.

This can be done in a variety of ways, and one of the easiest would be to soften it’s direct focus by focusing on something else, as demonstrated in the video.

Other professional ways include the use of a diffusion lens or filter, which slightly softens the entire image and helps eliminate moiré. Another way is to use shallow depth of field, if your subject is in front of the LED screen; the subject will be in focus and the background LED screen will be softly blurred.

When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.​ Benjamin Franklin As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve recently made quite a big change to our website. Over the winter we also added even more gear to our ever­growing LED inventory. With all the changing and updating that we’ve been doing, we’re reminded of some thoughts about change itself, why we should embrace it, why it can seem hard, and why the “c” word can evoke so many emotions in us.

We’re not only making changes as a company, but we’re also striving to change for the better as individual people. We constantly learn many valuable lessons along the way about how to be better LED screen providers for our customers on an individual level as well as collectively as a company.

One thing we’ve learned is this: We as humans were made to change, and if we’re not changing, we’re dying.

Everything about us is constantly changing whether we like it or not, from our hair all the way down to things at our molecular level. Even the skin we’re in was not the same skin we were in 7 years ago. The seasons and life circumstances we’re experiencing are different then they were even a few months ago.

To not change means to not live, it’s a constant reality that’s obvious in every living thing. So if our bodies, minds, weather patterns, and all of our living surroundings are always changing, why is it so common that we are reluctant to go along with it?

More often than not, our reluctance is because we don’t actually believe we ​ can​ change.

It’s easy enough to ​ say​ that we believe we can, and easier still to write in a blog post, but deep down it can be very hard to believe. Many of us at one time or another have bought into the lie that “we are who we are”, and we’re wired up and programmed in a certain unchangeable way, and “it is what it is.”

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.​ Frederick Douglass Certainly we were born with our own personality traits and genetic make­up, but we have to remember that we are not fixed, rigid beings and it’s quite natural for us to constantly change and adapt.

So why is something that is perfectly natural sometimes so hard to deal with or accept? We seem to have such a hard time with it because change can be scary, difficult, and require effort on our part to wade through some unknown and uncharted waters. On the other side of that water we can find that, more often than not, we have changed for the better and the effort was worth the struggle. There’s

obviously some risk­taking necessary for us to grow both personally and professionally. Frederick Douglass said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”

We hope this serves as a reminder that we ​ can​ change, and we can embrace it to grow personally and professionally. That should be a freeing revelation. Change can renew us and take us to better places; places where we are better people. When you accept and harness change, you really ​ can transform your future.

We’re sure that allowing change to happen is a better place to be than being “dug­in” and so set in our ways that we use our “fixed design” as an excuse to not be better people or a better company.

We encourage you to start believing that you are supposed to change, and let that be an inspiration for you today. Lao Tzu said “If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.”

Revolution Lighting Technologies Targets Strong U.S. Multifamily Housing Sector's Continued Adoption of LED Lighting

Company Recently Completes $1M LED Lighting Contract for 699­Unit Apartment and Town­Home Complex; Project Utilizes LED Lighting for 98% of Lighting Needs

STAMFORD, CT ­­ (Marketwired) ­­ 03/03/16 ­­ Revolution Lighting Technologies (NASDAQ: RVLT), a leader in advanced LED lighting technology solutions, today announced its continued emphasis on the U.S. multifamily housing sector, which continues to show strong growth, achieving its greatest single year in 2015 in nearly three decades. Revolution Lighting's division, Value Lighting, continues to expand its footprint in response, focusing on providing lighting for multifamily projects, including the continued adoption of LED lighting technologies.

In 2015, there were ​ more than 306,000 multifamily units​ completed across the U.S., the most since 1989, and a level of supply that is expected to remain elevated through 2016 and beyond.

The abundance of new multifamily projects creates a major opportunity for Revolution Lighting to provide its industry leading LED technologies to developers and management groups seeking new ways to reduce operating expenses. Lighting and utilities ​ account for up to 26%​ of multi­family building's energy use; installation of LED lighting solutions could reduce lighting energy consumption by up to 85%. Combined with state and utility ​ incentive​ programs to reduce initial installation costs, LED lighting has never been more attractive.

Growing competition among developers and property owners today continues to benefit LED lighting as they seek new ways to attract potential renters and buyers with greater focus toward environmental awareness and healthier living. Growing trends among new multifamily construction include the ​ increased adoption of "green" construction standards​ , including the use of LED lighting, as new findings suggest a strong correlation between sustainable development and tenant satisfaction.

Revolution Lighting will continue to support these new trends among multifamily development, pursuing lighting opportunities, such as a recent LED project secured by its division, Value Lighting. The $1M contract with Billingsley Construction provided LED lighting solutions for a 699­unit multifamily complex, consisting of apartments and town­homes, located in The Colony, Texas.

The project, called The Hudson at Austin Ranch, sits on 1,700 acres and is the second phase of Billingsley Construction's Lake District. Billingsley worked with Value Lighting to select LED lighting products to meet project goals, including color temperature. Upon completion, 98% of all lighting installed will be LED, making this complex Billingsley's first virtually complete LED lighting project.

On February 9, 2016, in a lawsuit for damages filed by Tachibana Eletech Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka-shi, Osaka; hereinafter “Tachibana”) against Nichia Corporation (Headquarters: Anan-shi, Tokushima; hereinafter “Nichia”) based on the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, etc. (hereinafter, “the Lawsuit”), the Intellectual Property High Court in Japan reversed a lower court decision issued on February 19, 2015, and completely dismissed Tachibana’s claims.

In October 2011, Nichia filed a lawsuit against Tachibana, claiming that Tachibana’s activities, such as the importation and sale of LEDs manufactured by a Taiwanese company, Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd., constituted an infringement of patents owned by Nichia (hereinafter “the Other Lawsuit”). In the Lawsuit, the points at issue were whether (i) Nichia was liable for compensation for damage to Tachibana on the premise that the filing of the Other Lawsuit constituted a tort, and (ii) Nichia was obligated to compensate Tachibana on the premise that uploading a press release on Nichia’s website regarding the Other Lawsuit (hereinafter “the Press Release Uploading Action”) fell within the scope of unfair competition activities.

The Osaka District Court at first instance admitted Nichia’s contention regarding the filing of the Other Lawsuit, and found that such filing did not constitute a tort; however, it admitted Tachibana’s contention regarding the Press Release Uploading Action.

Nichia, dissatisfied with such decision of the Osaka District Court, appealed against the same. The Intellectual Property High Court, in its decision, found neither that Nichia was negligent regarding the Press Release Uploading Action nor that the filing of the Other Lawsuit constituted a tort, and completely dismissed Tachibana’s claims.

Nichia Wins Important Victory in Patent Lawsuit Against Everlight Electronics in the Eastern District of Texas Nichia Corporation (“Nichia”) is pleased to announce that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas has issued a decision holding that Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. and Everlight Americas, Inc. (collectively, “Everlight”) have infringed three Nichia patents. The court upheld patent infringement claims that Nichia filed against Everlight in 2013.

The court’s decision includes a finding that Everlight has infringed Nichia’s Patent No. 8,530,250 (the “’250 Patent”), and rejects Everlight’s assertion that the ‘250 Patent is invalid. The ‘250 Patent covers an innovative process for manufacturing LEDs that Nichia developed in 2008, as well as LED products manufactured according to that process. The Nichia products covered by the ‘250 Patent include Nichia’s 757 and 157 series of products, which are among the most popular LED products on the market today. The Everlight products found to infringe the ‘250 Patent include Everlight’s XI3030, XI3535, 62-217D, 62-257D, and 45-21S series of LED products.

The court also found that Everlight has infringed Nichia’s U.S. Patents No. 7,432,589 and No. 7,462,870. The court denied Everlight’s contentions that these patents are invalid.

A copy of the court’s judgment, and a chart showing the Everlight LED product series found to infringe each of the Nichia patents, are attached.

The decision was issued by District Judge J. Rodney Gilstrap of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Case No. 02:13-cv-702. Nichia filed its lawsuit against Everlight in 2013, and the court held a trial in Marshall, Texas in May 2015. The court issued its decision on January 25, 2016.

Nichia seeks to protect its patents and other intellectual property rights and takes actions against alleged infringers in any country where appropriate and necessary.

ASYMTEK​ , a Nordson company (NASDAQ: ​ NDSN​ ), a global leader in fluid​ dispensing​ , ​ jetting​ , and ™​ ®​ coating​ equipment and technologies, introduces the Spectrum​ II Premier with the IntelliJet​ jetting

system for dispensing small dot sizes at high frequencies without compromising the precision, high yield, and long­term reliability needed for advanced packaging applications. The ​ IntelliJet ™​ system​ incorporates ASYMTEK’s patent­pending 2­piece ​ ReadiSet​ jet cartridge​ for fast and

simple cleaning and maintenance. Taking advantage of piezo­driven jet dispensing technology, the system jets a wide range of fluids in dot sizes from one to hundreds of nanoliters. The ​ Spectrum II Premier system​ 's ​ closed­loop process controls​ integrate enhanced features for IntelliJet setup, calibration, and control to ensure consistent dispensing performance, reliability, and durability far above other piezo­driven jets on the market today.

"Advanced package designs requiring small dots in tight spaces and their high cost demand an extraordinary degree of dispense­volume accuracy to ensure high production yield. To maintain productivity goals with these small dot sizes and target fluid flow rates, a high jetting frequency is needed," said Garrett Wong, product manager for Nordson ASYMTEK. "Piezo technology is excellent for producing small dots, but its use for high­volume production has been complicated by the short life of the consumable parts and less than ideal consistency across multiple installations.

The Spectrum II Premier and IntelliJet system further advance piezo­jetting technology with long­term reliability two to four times longer than any other piezo­driven jet and combines that with automatic calibration features that produce a consistent jetting process across large­scale production lines."

The ​ Spectrum II Premier system​ is built on the award­winning ​ Spectrum II fluid dispensing platform​ and leverages ASYMTEK's 30+ years of experience as the global leader in designing and manufacturing precision​ fluid dispensing equipment​ for high­volume production environments.

The ​ IntelliJet system​ 's self­calibration features and the platform's patented ​ closed­loop process controls​ ensure that dispense results remain consistent despite variances in consumable hardware, setup, and wear. Users can reliably transfer their dispense processes across multiple Spectrum II Premier platforms and achieve identical performance in fluid break­off, eliminating satellites and accumulation. The ​ ReadiSet jet cartridge​ maximizes up­time because only the wetted fluid path parts are changed, allowing the jet actuator to remain on the platform.

generation of white light based on a semiconductor chip emitting blue light that is partially converted into one or more other colors by suitable phosphor materials.

The agreement with Unity Opto follows numerous license agreements between Osram and other producers of white LED packages. In total, more than 20 globally active LED producers are licensed under Osram’s core LED patents.

Osram and Unity Opto have also agreed to dismiss the pending patent litigation Osram had brought against Unity Opto’s customer ASUS in Germany. The District Court in Düsseldorf had awarded Osram an injunction and found that ASUS had to compensate Osram’s damage caused by the patent infringement. ASUS had filed an appeal against this judgment.

Dieter Boss, Osram Head of Licensing said: “Osram has built up a very strong patent position. We welcome Unity Opto as a licensee under our White LED License Program. To LED producers not licensed by Osram but still making use of our patents, we would like to send the message that Osram will continue to vigorously enforce its patents.”

Para­Coat Technologies Develops Process to Splash Proof Electronics JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —

Based in Johnstown, Para­Coat Technologies works primarily with defense contractors, but now it said it has come up with a product that will protect everyday electronics from water damage.

Krista Rager and her husband, Michael Rager, own and run the company. They said they’ve come up with a new protective coating that can take a cellphone and make it waterproof from the inside out. They used their own phone as a demonstration.

“Basically, we started out with a parylene conformal coating, which is all done in a vaccum deposition chamber,” said Krista Rager. “It starts out as a solid material, switches to a vapor, and then it goes on to the sub straight.”

The couple has developed a new product they said has the potential to turn heads across the world.

“It’s called Vapor Armor, and that’s a nanotechnology that actually waterproofs cellphones, tablets, keyboards, cameras, and the response has just been huge,” said Krista Rager.

They gave 6 News a demonstration Wednesday of how Vapor Armor works. Michael Rager poured water over his iPhone.

“There’s no case on the outside of the phone. There’s nothing in the charging ports.

There’s nothing in the speaker ports, so the water actually flows through the interior of the phone,” said Michael Rager. “The whole inside of the phone has been coated.”

He said it’s the same phone he used for demonstrations at Showcase for Commerce two weeks ago, and the phone still works perfectly.

“A lot of people walked by our booth and saw what we were doing with cellphones, and they were just blown away by the technology,” said Krista Rager.

The couple hopes to sell the product directly to manufacturers and make water protection another step along the assembly line.

“We’ve had some very large manufacturers contact us trying to get this into their manufacturing line,” said Krista Rager. “If that takes off, I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s going to be crazy.”

here in the Denver area, this small operation has taken that starting point and recognition to great lengths.

Parasoleil, now the name of the company, designs and makes these shade panels and privacy screens for clients all over the country (and beyond). Their work can be seen shading the outdoor dining area at the Hive Cafe at the Denver Botanic Gardens. It can be seen as the rooftop pool privacy screen at the Downtown Denver Sheraton Hotel. It can be seen at the landmark shelter for Sloans Lake at 19th & Meade in Denver. And they still do the same shadow­casting patio covers for private residences all over the Front Range. But thanks to that local start, they now have installations well beyond the borders of Colorado.

Today and throughout his weekend, Parasoleil celebrates 10 years in designing and manufacturing its products, Parasoleil panels and system hardware! "It's no longer about my ideas, my artwork," says Bueller, "We have architects, an entire sales team, and operations specialists to make this work. I'm very lucky to have found the people to help drive this company to what I know it can be." The company has sales representation in all 50 states and installations in just as many. Their commercialized, structural artwork has been used in historic hotels, resort properties in Guam and Aruba, Starbucks remodels, international airports, and city parks throughout the country.

Parasoleil, still under the guidance of Uriah Bueller (CEO) and the company's Board of Directors, now makes most of its line of eye­catching panels in structural aluminum and finished with their own unique powdercoat system to mimic the copper patinas and deep bronze tones that got them started. They lead the industry with their ability to customize their products and focus on design guidance to help designers, architects, and engineers use Parasoleil light­filtering panels to their best.

Philips survey reveals clinical improvements in population health efforts are key priorities driving health IT investments

Measurable clinical improvements and interoperability remain the most important factors of clinical technology purchasing decisions Care coordination continues to be the biggest management challenge Health organizations continue to look to the cloud to support Health IT initiatives

Andover, MA and Las Vegas, Nev. –​ A new ​ health care leadership survey​ released today by​ Royal Philips

(NYSE: PHG; AEX: PHIA) reveals that a majority of health systems have already implemented population health management programs as they seek to improve patient outcomes. Additionally, driving measurable clinical improvements and ensuring interoperability remain the focus of health information technology (HIT) investments in 2016. These investments are focused on enhancing electronic medical record (EMR) functionality and connecting data across clinical systems within the health system to provide a broader picture of individual patients and better manage populations.

Conducted by HIMSS Media on behalf of Philips and announced at the ​ 2016 Annual HIMSS Conference and Exhibition​ , the survey of 105 health care IT leaders sought to determine how health leaders are prioritizing technology investments and addressing ​ population health management​ . Of the 105 respondents, 85 percent represent either standalone hospitals or integrated delivery networks (IDNs). Three quarters of participants are in C­level positions or IT leaders, and 27 percent are clinically focused.

“The transition to value­based care is driving an increasing number of health IT challenges that can be addressed by innovative connected solutions that spur collaboration between providers and patients across the entire health continuum,” said ​ Jeroen Tas​ , CEO, ​ Connected Care and Health Informatics, Philips​ . “The data from this survey reinforces what we hear every day from our customers that ensuring the integration of data across the enterprise and managing populations is critical to delivering better care.”

Philips’s goal when building new technologies is to ensure everything can interoperate within the health system.

Philips’ own portfolio depends on the free flow of an individual's health information from distinct systems. In fact, more than a dozen leading health care providers, hospitals, technology and consumer advocacy groups, including Philips, have agreed to implement federally recognized, national interoperability standards. For more information on the initiative, please visit ​ www.healthit.gov/commitment​ . The full text of be found at

Philips’ Interoperability Pledge​ ​ can

HealthIT.Gov. ​

As health care moves from being fragmented and episodic to being coordinated and continuous, population health management efforts are critical to making this transition. More than two­thirds of respondents already have population health programs in readmissions, acute care and patient education and more than half have chronic care programs. Notably, when asked where they planned to spend resources in the near future, respondents listed mobile wellness monitoring (52.5 percent), aging well (46.5 percent) and home monitoring devices (45.5 percent) as their top priorities.

Key Survey Findings:

Care coordination is the biggest challenge organizations face in their effort to achieve​ population health management​ (23.5 percent). Other challenges include financial investment (21.4 percent) and data management (18.4 percent).

Half of respondents plan to use cloud­based technology in big data analytics. Additional investment plans are focused on managed application deployment (41.9 percent), clinical data storage (39 percent) and health information exchanges (39 percent).

More than half of respondents have focused their existing population health management investments on health information exchanges (57.6 percent), telehealth systems (57.6 percent) and analytics (54.5 percent).

To see how Philips is already addressing all of these key challenges visit the Philips booth (#3416) at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society ​ (HIMSS) 2016 Annual Conference and Exhibition​ , taking place Feb. 29 – Mar. 4, at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.

IntelliSpace Console Critical Care to be showcased during the 2016 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference & Exhibition

Amsterdam, the Netherlands. – ​ Royal Philips​ (NYSE: PHG AEX: PHIA) today announced the launch of

IntelliSpace Console Critical Care, a cloud­based clinical decision support dashboard supporting enhanced workflows in the intensive care unit (ICU). Debuting at the 2016 HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nev., IntelliSpace Console is designed to improve critical care with smart clinical decision making, enhanced patient monitoring and tracking of quality metrics.

The easy­to­use dashboard gives clinicians access to patient data across multiple systems and EMRs to help streamline, prioritize and analyze complex patient data quickly. ​ IntelliSpace Console​ is the result of a multi­year clinical study and a research collaboration with Ambient Clinical Analytics and the Mayo Clinic. It is the latest to join Philips’ portfolio of advanced health technology and integrated informatics solutions helping to improve workflow efficiencies and patient outcomes with clinical decision support applications.

In critical care settings where every second counts, clinicians need to make timely care decisions and navigating the vast amounts of clinical data available at the patient bedside can make it difficult for clinicians to analyze so much information at once. IntelliSpace Console addresses this issue comprehensively and transforms patient data from multiple sources, including EMRs, into actionable insights. The smart dashboard provides intensivists, nurses, respiratory therapists and other specialists with the context­relevant clinical information needed to make decisions quickly and efficiently in critical care settings, leading to better care and greater productivity.

“As health systems continue to move toward value­based care while at the same time facing an explosion of patient data, solutions such as IntelliSpace Console help clinicians make sense of increasingly complex patient information in a meaningful way,” said Carla Kriwet, CEO, Patient Care and Monitoring Solutions, Philips. “This advanced visualization dashboard enables clinicians to make quick, informed decisions, and ultimately provide enhanced care across the health care continuum.”

“The amount of patient data available in the Intensive Care Units is incredible, but it also places a substantial burden on the acting clinician to make quick and effective patient care decisions while making sense of mountains of information,” said Vitaly Herasevich, MD, PhD, of Mayo Clinic, one of the co­inventors of the technology. “This new solution is formatted as a real­time dashboard that organizes information the way a clinician processes data in a real­life patient scenario to facilitate decision making. This reduces stress, saves time, supports workflow and enhances the care process while allowing multiple members of a patient’s care team to be ‘on the same page’.”

Adding value to the care process The transition to efficient patient­centric care is driving an increasing number of business and Health IT challenges – including EMR implementation, interoperability, meaningful use, accountable care and healthcare reform. At this year’s HIMSS event in Las Vegas, Philips will be demonstrating how integrated IT solutions like IntelliSpace Console can address these challenges by collecting, combining, analyzing and delivering quality data to help improve patient outcomes, reduce costs and improve quality of care.

IntelliSpace Console’s user experience, which is rendered using evidence­based guidelines, provides clinicians with an overview of the patient population in the ICU, including acuity level, details on life support, and other key information to help clinicians make more informed decisions when assessing interventions and developing patient care plans. The dashboard harmonizes the information on each patient to ensure that each member of the care team sees the same, normalized information.

Lumileds Showcases Latest Mid Power LED Breakthroughs During Mid Power March In celebration of its ever expanding portfolio of groundbreaking LEDs in the mid power range, Lumileds will roll out multiple new products in the month of March San Jose, CA – Lumileds today kicks off Mid Power March, a month­long event to introduce a variety of mid power products that feature breakthrough performance and unmatched product reliability. “Since we first entered the mid power market in 2012, our focus has been to offer mid power LEDs with a performance edge over our competitors,” said Lumileds Senior VP of Sales & Marketing Emmanuel Dieppedalle. “Part of that edge has come from leveraging our leading high power technologies for the mid power market. Mid Power March is all about showcasing the many breakthroughs we’ve made and are making in application­optimized mid power LED development.”

Each of the new products that will be introduced during Mid Power March caters to a specific market need. Whether it is the highest possible performance to enable the highest efficacy fixtures, or the most reliable, robust and environment­resistant products ever seen in mid­power packages, or the broadest, most cost­effective portfolio to address cost­sensitive consumer applications, Lumileds will release products during Mid Power March to specifically address each of these market needs. These new products will join Lumileds already extensive mid power and low power family.

“We know that the mid power LED market is growing rapidly, and lighting manufacturers are demanding products that meet aggressive specifications for light quality, efficiency and long term reliability. Because we hold our mid power LEDs to the same lumen maintenance standards as our high power LEDs, luminaire makers can be assured of long life from our mid power products,” said Dieppedalle. In fact, eight of the 10 largest global lighting brands rely on LUXEON mid power LEDs.

Achieving significant improvements in efficacy, the LUXEON Core Range (Gen 3) arrays provide the industry’s best CoB performance with efficacy reaching more than 160 lm/W. San Jose, CA – Today Lumileds introduces its third generation of Chip on Board (CoB) arrays, the LUXEON Core Range (Gen 3), extending its market leadership in the CoB space with a breakthrough in efficacy. With the LUXEON CoB Core Range (Gen 3), luminaire designers can enjoy 10% higher efficacy at constant flux compared to previous generations.

All LUXEON CoB developments are engineered to produce the highest flux with the smallest light emitting surface (LES). "This performance upgrade is the result of significant improvements in both die development and our industry­leading phosphor solutions that give us industry leading performance," said Eric Senders, Product Line Director for the LUXEON CoB Family. The Gen 3 LUXEON CoB upgrade spans the company’s full range of products from the smallest LES of 6.5 mm (LUXEON CoB 1202s), which delivers cost effective spotlights, to an LES of 23 mm (LUXEON CoB 1216), for efficient replacement of 100­150W HIDs in indoor or outdoor applications. The LUXEON CoB Core Range is offered over the widest range of color temperatures (2200K to 5700K) and CRIs (70, 80 or 90).

Lumileds also attributes its industry leading performance to its low thermal resistance substrate, which is up to 4X lower than other commercial products. The lowest thermal resistance enables smaller heat sinks and optics, delivering lower system cost. 100% of LUXEON CoB Core Range (Gen 3) arrays are hot tested at 85°C to ensure performance in real world operating conditions and to minimize additional testing.

For ease of upgrade, the LUXEON CoB Core Range (Gen 3) products are fully compatible with the LUXEON CoB Gen 1 and Gen 2 arrays. The company’s ecosystem of compatible drivers, optics and holders help speed the time­to­market of all directional lamps.

Synopsys Releases New Versions of RSoft Photonic Component and Optical Communication Design Tools

Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced the latest releases of the RSoft™ product portfolio, the company's industry­leading family of software tools for photonic component and optical communication system design. Version 2015.12 of the Synopsys RSoft Photonic System Design Suite includes new features to accelerate the design and fabrication of state­of­the­art silicon photonics, photonic integrated circuits and optical transceivers in data center applications. In addition, version 2015.06­2 of the RSoft Photonic Component Design Suite enables faster simulations of complex photonic component designs with new, flexible cluster licensing policies that take full advantage of multicore CPU architectures.

"The enhancements in the latest releases of the RSoft product family support the complete photonic product development process, from initial design concepts to manufacturing," said George Bayz, vice president and general manager of Synopsys' Optical Solutions Group. "We have improved overall design flows with faster simulations, new design frameworks, component libraries and example models."

RSoft Photonic System Design Suite The RSoft Photonic System Design Suite includes the following new features: ●

The OptSim™ Digital Signal Processing (DSP) library now supports transceiver design and bit­error­rate estimation based on m­PAM, an important multi­level modulation format for data centers and other short­distance applications.

●

The ModeSYS™ tool now includes a model that combines multiple CW signals at the same wavelength into a single spatial field profile, enabling more efficient multimode co­simulation with Synopsys' CODE V® software and the RSoft BeamPROP™ tool.

●

ModeSYS also supports user­specified launch conditions for large­core, step­index multimode fibers as either intensity or encircled angular flux (EAF), leading to more accurate results.

●

In addition, ModeSYS includes new plots that enable users to visualize the distribution of power changes at different positions within a multimode fiber, eliminating the need to run multiple simulations for each point of interest.

●

The OptSim Circuit tool includes a new interface with Luceda Photonic's IPKISS design framework for photonic integrated circuits. By adding the capability to export netlists that IPKISS can use to automatically synthesize a mask layout, OptSim Circuit further enhances the photonic integrated circuit design flow from system­level simulation to fabrication.

●

OptSim Circuit also expands support for state­of­the­art silicon photonic design and simulation by adding the latest version of the IMEC foundry process design kit (PDK), version 1.4.

"Once the functionality of a photonic integrated circuit is captured in OptSim Circuit, the next step to fabrication is translating the schematic into a physical representation via masks," said Dr. Erwin De Baetselier, CEO and co­founder of Luceda Photonics. "The interface between OptSim Circuit and IPKISS provides users with a complete design flow from functional design to physical representation. Combined, these tools represent an ideal platform to leverage process design kit (PDK) libraries such as IMEC iSiPP25G and connect circuit and layout representations with error­resilient translation steps."

RSoft Photonic Component Design Suite The RSoft Photonic Component Design Suite version 2015.06­2 implements a new policy for cluster licensing, enabling more flexible use of multicore CPU architectures. The new licensing policy allows the RSoft simulation tools to fully utilize the computing power of a single machine for node­locked licenses and up to two machines for a network license. To use more than two machines for simulations, users can purchase additional, simulation­only licenses. Many of the RSoft photonic design tools leverage all available computing power to reduce the time of a single simulation, or to perform distributed simulations on different parameter sets. This allows, for example, RSoft FullWAVE™ simulation users to access all of their machines' computing power for many single FDTD simulations of photonic structures, or for one or more clustered simulations. The RSoft photonic design tools can also speed up the calculation of bi­directional scattering distribution function (BSDF) files with RSoft DiffractMOD™ or FullWAVE tools for high­accuracy optical surface modeling. As in previous RSoft releases, the number of concurrent jobs is unlimited, and therefore users can run multiple, simultaneous simulations.

in existing devices and open a new realm of possibilities for the design of hospital equipment and plastic housings that require frequent disinfection, such as mobile ultrasound and x­ray machines, enteral feeding devices, drug infusion pumps, blood filtration equipment, and more.

The ​ RTP 2000 HC series​ provides a unique solution to a widespread problem: the damage and premature, catastrophic failure of plastic devices, equipment, and housings caused by harsh cleaners and disinfectants used in medical settings. Medical facilities are acutely aware of the risks associated with hospital acquired infections, with as many as 2 million new cases and $11 billion in additional costs per year in the United States alone. To reduce these risks, medical facilities have increased the amount of harsh chemicals for sanitization purposes and the frequency of their use, only to discover that these cleaners cause cracks and degradation in plastic equipment and housings – and replacing them is costly.

In developing the ​ RTP 2000 HC series​ , engineers from RTP Company tested numerous polymers for damage resistance to six popular chemical classes of hospital cleaners and disinfectants. Molded compounds were subjected to stressors in order to replicate field failures and relative resistance.

The best performer was optimized for physical properties, chemical damage resistance, colorability and flammability. The ​ RTP 2000 HC series​ are now available globally in Flame Retardant or non­Flame Retardant versions, and the compounds are colorable. It is also available in sheet format in thicknesses ranging from .02 – .25” through Engineered Sheet Products (ESP), a division of RTP Company.

OEMs and injection molding companies that create parts, housings, and equipment for medical facilities can use the ​ RTP 2000 HC series​ thermoplastic compounds as a direct replacement for other amorphous resins such as PC/ABS and PC/PBT. The ​ RTP 2000 HC series​ has proven performance for superior chemical resistance under molded in stress conditions, allowing OEMs and injection molders to improve the quality and service life of their medical devices.

“Another growth driver for Rudolph was from the ​ radio­frequency (RF) filter market​ . We expanded our sales in RF filters for mobile applications, increasing our footprint in this fast­growing market segment by over 50 percent. This included multiple orders from a leading RF filter manufacturer that included inspection and ​ metrology tools​ as well as process control software​ , which span both front­end and back­end applications. With the rapid advancement of the Internet of Things, manufacturing of these components is likely to grow dramatically, and several manufacturers have already announced increased capital spending for 2016. During the year, we also extended our leadership in the growing MEMs market with a win at Robert Bosch for both front­end and back­end inspection and software applications.

“Increasing demand for comprehensive process control solutions in 2015 also drove our software business unit to a record year, with revenues amounting to just over 12 percent of the Company’s revenue.”

Mr. Plisinski concluded, “In 2015 we strengthened our position as a comprehensive solutions provider, combining product, services and software to solve high­value customer problems. We expect to further capitalize on the gains we have made in the coming year. We remain confident that our strategy to leverage our broad product portfolio to provide more comprehensive solutions to a diverse customer base serving a variety of end markets will allow us to continue to drive growth, maintain a strong balance sheet, and return value to shareholders.”

Fourth quarter gross margin was 52 percent of revenues, compared to 54 percent in the 2015 third quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a change in product sales mix; specifically, lower margin lithography sales were partially offset by continued strong software sales in the quarter.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $20.8 million, compared with $19.9 million in the 2015 third quarter. R&D expenses for the fourth quarter totaled $10.3 million, compared with $10.0 million in the 2015 third quarter. SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter totaled $9.9 million, compared with $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in both R&D and SG&A operating expenses was mainly due to an increase in compensation expense and higher professional fees in the quarter.

GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $2.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $7.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.

Fourth Quarter Non­GAAP Financial Results Fourth quarter Non­GAAP net income was $5.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. Non­GAAP results excluded $2.2 million in expenses, after tax, that were included in the GAAP results related to share­based compensation, litigation and amortization of intangibles. In the 2015 third quarter, Non­GAAP net income was $8.4 million or $0.26 per diluted share. The third quarter Non­GAAP results excluded $1.2 million in expenses, after tax, that were included in the GAAP results related to share­based compensation, litigation and amortization of intangibles.

Balance Sheet Strength At December 31, 2015, cash and marketable securities totaled $161.5 million, compared with $155.3 million at the end of the 2015 third quarter. Accounts receivable decreased $5.8 million to $55.5 million and inventory decreased to $71.5 million as of December 31, 2015. Working capital was $197.0 million at December 31, 2015.

Discussion of Non­GAAP Financial Measures In this press release, we have presented financial measures, which have not been determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are therefore non­GAAP financial measures. Non­GAAP financial measures exclude the amortization of intangible assets, the impact of litigation fees, acquisition related costs, restructuring charges and share­based compensation. We believe that this presentation of non­GAAP financial measures allows investors to better assess the Company’s operating performance by comparing it to prior periods on a more consistent basis. We have included a reconciliation of various non­GAAP financial measures to those measures reported in accordance with GAAP. To that end, non­GAAP financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. Because our calculation of non­GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing our non­GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.

This advancement in pixel pitch was enabled by SiliconCore’s Common Cathode driver technology, resulting in lower power consumption and reducing the heat output of displays, thereby removing the need for additional cooling and extending the life of the display beyond 100,000 hours.

The display is powered by SiliconCore’s patented 8080 driver chip which features a high speed pixel clock to ensure outstanding performance without compromise. This chip set maintains the same 2000NITs brightness, 2000hz refresh and 16­bit grey scale specifications of the Lavender 1.2mm and Magnolia 1.50mm products. This is the highest performance driver chip in the industry with double the scan rate and a fourfold increase in processing speed, reducing the number of chips required per display by 75%.

These factors combine to enable SiliconCore to lead the industry in total cost of ownership.

Steve Scorse, VP of EMEA for SiliconCore explains: “Winning the Best of Show Award is a true testament to the beauty and advancements in LED display technology that the Camellia 0.95mm offers viewers. At 0.95mm even the smallest details are visible, so large data sets or stunning visual content is able to be rendered to the highest degree of precision. The reaction from the industry at ISE was phenomenal and we believe this product will really advance the applications for LED within the corporate, command and control, visualization and financial sectors.”

SILICONCORE LAUNCHES FRONT SERVICE ACCESS FOR ULTRA FINE PIXEL PITCH DISPLAY 08/02/2016 LED display manufacturer SiliconCore is the first to achieve front service access on ultra fine pixel pitch displays as low as 1.2mm, with its new mounting solution.

The new FSA solution reduces the total depth and weight of the unit, and can achieve a total depth of less than 200mm (or 8”), from the customer’s wall to the front surface of the LED cabinets. This further advances the application possibilities of LED displays as screens can be placed in tight spaces, optimizing floor area usage.

The project is investigating the potential of wirelessly connected solar lighting systems to provide lighting in less than perfect conditions by employing various energy saving strategies, for example, employing mesh motion sensing to activate groups of lights in the area while maintaining stand­by lighting for the balance of the night. The project will also validate functions like central control and advance service alerts. At the same time, the data stream allows us to test our assumptions about sizing and battery behavior.

Solar Lighting can be an important resource to municipalities in everyday uses like the bike path lighting as well as for back­up lighting during emergency power outages.

Of course, urban areas are unlikely to provide universally perfect solar conditions, but adaptive strategies like the ones being tested in Somerville and remote "mini­solar power stations" can expand solar lighting applications in spite of shading.

Why do metal halide bulbs take so long to warm­up?

As you might have noticed when you go to an evening baseball game, metal halide (MH) lamps do not achieve their full light output immediately after starting. This is why stadiums typically turn INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

them on in advance of nightfall when it’s not quite dark enough to actually require their light.

According to the ​ Lighting Research Institute​ at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: “[Metal halide (MH) lamps] require a period of time­1 to 15 minutes­to reach 90% of their full light output. This period is called the warm­up (or run­up) time. After a lamp has been on for a period of time and then extinguished, it cannot be immediately turned back on. Before the lamp can be turned back on, the arc tubemust have a chance to cool down or the lamp will not restart. This period of time is called the restrike time. Restrike times for traditional probe­start MH lamps can take 15 minutes or longer, but restrike times for pulse­start MH lamps are generally much shorter. According to manufacturer’s literature, restrike times for pulse­start MH lamps can be more than twice as fast as for probe­start MH lamps.”

The warm­up period referred to is what you’re used to seeing at a large stadium or recreational fields when their metal halide lamps first get turned on. The bulb has a very dim glow that gradually intensifies as it runs for longer periods of time. The reason for this is in the mechanical construction of the light itself. Metal halide is an arc lamp. It functions similarly to other high intensity discharge (HID) lights like mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and fluorescent bulbs.

Special salts inside the tube (a mixture of mercury and metal halides) are vaporized into plasma during the operation of the bulb. The bulb has to heat up to a tremendous temperature (several thousand degrees celsius) to operate. As the light heats up, the internal salts evaporate and the quality of the light output changes. This takes time to get to full power (thus the warm­up period).

While the metal halide lights are ubiquitous at stadiums across the country, they are getting replaced more and more by LED lighting technology. Metal halide does provide high quality INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

lighting, but there are some definite drawbacks to its use; for instance, the inability to switch the lights back on after they have been turned off. They also consume a large amount of energy, and require a warm­up period. With an LED lighting, these issues are eliminated ­ and a lot of sports venues are ​ making the switch already​ .

Completing a retrofit on such a large scale is a big project, but it will pay for itself in a short period of time through reduction in consumption and maintenance costs, as well as rebates that may apply. There are also various ways to finance an LED retrofit (read ​ here​ to learn more). For those municipalities managing recreational fields, or for organizations that own sporting venues, it’s well worth the time to explore an LED retrofit. While metal halide bulbs might have been the right answer decades ago, the way forward is with LED technology.

Harvesting Sunlight SunCentral: A bright Canadian idea

People spend much of their time living and working indoors—away from the sun’s light. While electrical lighting allows us to work in windowless rooms and extends the productive hours in a day, it’s not a perfect solution. Electrically generated lighting has an environmental impact, and people prefer natural light.

In 2003, Dr. Lorne Whitehead from the University of British Columbia began work on a system that harvests sunlight and delivers it deep into a building’s core. Six years later, he co­founded SunCentral, a company that provides lighting solutions worldwide. See how his innovation works today in the TechnoZone!

Underwater Imaging 2G Robotics: Canada scans the seas and beyond

Few places on Earth have presented as much of a challenge to explore, survey and measure as underwater environments.

Until recently, photography and sonar were the only means available to image these submerged areas. Both methods have limitations, however, and engineers and scientists relying on these technologies were often unable to obtain the precise measurements required for research and surveying or to conduct inspections and repairs.

Today, the underwater scanning technology developed by 2G Robotics captures precise measurements and generates 3D images of subsea environments and structures, such as shipwrecks, pipelines, and dams, with unparalleled detail and accuracy. See how this innovation works today in the TechnoZone!

The new licensing policy allows the RSoft simulation tools to fully utilize the computing power of a single machine for node­locked licenses and up to two machines for a network license. To use more than two machines for simulations, users can purchase additional, simulation­only licenses. Many of the RSoft photonic design tools leverage all available computing power to reduce the time of a single simulation, or to perform distributed simulations on different parameter sets. This allows, for example, RSoft FullWAVE™ simulation users to access all of their machines' computing power for many single FDTD simulations of photonic structures, or for one or more clustered simulations. The RSoft photonic design tools can also speed up the calculation of bi­directional scattering distribution function (BSDF) files with RSoft DiffractMOD™ or FullWAVE tools for high­accuracy optical surface modeling. As in previous RSoft releases, the number of concurrent jobs is unlimited, and therefore users can run multiple, simultaneous simulations.

leading producer of ultra­high molecular weight polyethylene, with the broadest portfolio of grades among any of our competitors.”

This capacity expansion provides Celanese with additional production flexibility to introduce two new medical GUR® grades for the pharmaceutical industry. These new products will draw on the company’s expertise in manufacturing engineered materials with stringent raw material controls for product consistency and quality that meet pharmaceutical regulations. These new medical grades for the pharmaceutical industry will serve customer applications including filtering, purification of liquid drug formulations, and mechanically operated devices used in drug contact and delivery.

GUR® UHMWPE is a linear polyethylene with a much higher molecular weight than standard PE, which offers outstanding abrasion resistance, superior impact strength, non­sticking and self­lubricating properties, and excellent mechanical characteristics, even in cryogenic conditions. The material is eight times lighter than steel and lasts 10 times longer than high density PE in abrasive environments.

As a polyethylene with a very high molecular weight, GUR® UHMWPE is produced as a powder that requires specific processing. In the semi­finished industry, the high pressures generated in compression molding and ram extrusion processes fuse the particles together. The material is then typically formed into stock shapes or profiles.

Celanese offers GUR® UHMWPE grades for applications including orthopedic implants, water and air filtration, battery separators, fibers, additives and membranes. Celanese GUR® UHMWPE premium grades for orthopedic implants and pharmaceuticals meet the requirements of health organizations, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Union regulations. FDA Drug and Device Master Files are available for premium grades.

LM­80 SOLUTION DELIVERS ACCURATE PULSE WIDTH MODULATION

Vektrex offers the only LM­80 test solution on the market combining the ability to test in both LM­80­15 accepted modes—constant current and pulsed/PWM current. The LM­80 solution enables test designers to perfectly duplicate SSL end users Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) parameters producing data that matches real­world lighting performance. Vektrex’s configurable LM­80 solution is based upon the patented SpikeSafe ™ Series current sources that supply a wide range of drive currents and voltages. Typical pulsed current sources lack the power to support the high currents and duty cycles required for this generation’s high power SSL needs. Vektrex current sources support high peak and continuous power levels, so test designers can choose any duty cycle from 0­100%. The SpikeSafe drives current, DC and PWM INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

mode, accurately to the ends of the long (40’) drive cables typically found in reliability labs.

Vektrex LM­80 solution and SpikeSafe current sources are the standard.

OVERVIEW OF LM­80 STANDARDS UPDATE The evolution in packaged LEDs drives need for a revised LM­80 device testing standard. The IES LM­80 standard has been vital for the fast uptake of high­power white LEDs and applications such as general illumination. Indeed this device testing standard allows product developers to fairly compare components from different vendors and to make sound judgment on LED specification for solid­state lighting (SSL) products. But the growth in the LED and SSL sectors has driven tremendous evolution in packaged LED technology and products. This evolution has led the IES to make a major revision to LM­80 to address an increasingly broader range of LED components. The new standard will cover monochromatic LEDs, LEDs designed for AC or high­voltage drive, and other popular LED variants.

This webcast, presented by Dr. Jianzhong Jiao of Osram Opto Semiconductors and Jeff Hulett, CTO of Vektrex who served as the Technical Coordinator of LM­80 Working Group in IES, describe the changes and is timed to be near coincident with the release of the new LM­80 document.

The presentation covered:

●

The basic changes implemented in the LM­80 standard.

●

The philosophy and reasoning behind the range of devices covered and the methodology adopted.

●

The plan of the IES to manage the LM­80 and TM­21 documents in a cohesive and symbiotic manner and to place parameters such as test duration and sample size in the appropriate document.

Light Force Switch targets process control applications Numerous process control applications depend on pressure switches to operate reliably. To convert a physical pressure differential into an electrical signal a mechanical switch inside is used.

Microprecision Electronics SA in Vouvry, Switzerland is now offering a new variation of its MP500 sealed subminiature micro switch for this type of application. Compared to the standard version with an actuating force of max 2.5N, the new MP520 has a lower actuating force of max 1 N. The differential force is only about 0.2 N. The differential travel of less than 0.05mm and a fast change over time of 5 ms is another important parameter for process applications.

The Series MP500 is UL61058 and EN61058 approved for a power rating of 250 AC/ 5A with an operating temperature between – 40°C and 105°C. Termination options are PCB pins, solder lugs or cable. To adapt to special applications, the actuators can be custom designed.

Microprecision Electronics SA is a manufacturer of industrial microswitches and LED indicator lights with manufacturing in Switzerland and the USA.

Würth Elektronik eiSos presents connectors for LED boards Discrete board­to­board connectors The use of LED strip PCB’s is popular in the efficient production of electrical lighting solutions. Würth Elektronik eiSos is now introducing a completely new series of connectors for connecting LED strip PCB’s: ​ WR­LECO​ is available with two, three, four or five poles and is attractive due to its very flat design, only 2.45 mm high. The grid spacing is 1.5 mm. The SMD board­to­board connector for LED applications is made of white plastic to minimize shading. Locking allows the connector to create excellent holding forces.

The electrical paramaters of the WR­LECO allow for a maximum current of 1 A and a operating voltage up to 150 V AC. The operating temperature is ­25 °C to + 85 °C. All products are available ex warehouse. ​ Samples​ of the new connectors are now available free of charge.

Easy handling of cable outlets Plugged in around the corner Terminal blocks that can be plugged in both horizontally, as well as vertically, offer developers a high degree of flexibility. It’s the same in development too: The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Particularly cable outlets are usually there where you least often need them. Whether horizontal or vertical orientation to the circuit board can

rarely be defined with certainty at the beginning of development. So there is always switching between terminal blocks for which the cables either exit vertically or horizontally. Wouldn’t it be practical to have a cable plug­in system that allowed both possibilities? Just that this is the advantage of the 3857 series (cable­side) and 3867 (PCB­side) of the ​ WR­TBL terminal block series​ from Würth Elektronik. The male connector on the PCB allows the mating connector to be plugged­in with either a 90° or a 180° cable outlet. Rather than having to revert to a new component, you just turn the existing one around and therefore save valuable time. And to make assembly even quicker, the terminal blocks are available from 2 to 18 pole as standard and are extremely easy to separate to a smaller number of poles using a conventional cutter knife.

The direct line to series production With a pitch of 5.0 mm, the pluggable version of the WR­TBL series allows connection of cable cross­sections from 24 to 12 AWG (0.205 to 3.32 mm2). Moreover, they distinguish themselves with a current carrying capacity of 14A (UL) and 16A (VDE) and a working voltage of 300 VAC (as per UL) and 250 VAC (VDE) respectively. Another specific feature is the solid contacts that also predestine the terminal blocks for development.

But they are outstandingly suited for series production too. On customer request, coding is available for series production ­ left (beige, 691 399 900 004S) and right (black, 691 399 902 104) ­ to restrict the plug­in direction.

Incidentally: the ​ WE Plus Service ​ undertakes coding of small quantities up to 500 units from stock within four days.

Furthermore, the terminal blocks offer an essential advantage for use in series production: The complete component series comes ex works with glow­wire tested to 850 C and can therefore be used in household appliances that are not operated under supervision. And this by no means only includes washing machines, fully automatic coffee machines etc. According to IEC 60335­1 this covers all electrical applications, i.e. also controllers for roller shutters, heating systems, lifts or underground car parks. For all these unattended applications in which a current of more than 0.2A flows, the use of glow­wire tested components is mandatory to protect the consumer against fire in the event of an electrical malfunction in their absence.

Glow­wire tested to 850 C Three IEC standards define compatibility with IEC 60335­1: The glow­wire test method GWT (IEC 60695­2­11), the flammability index of the material GWFI (IEC 60695­2­12) and the ignition temperature of the material GWIT (IEC 60695­2­13). According to the approach defined in IEC 60695­2­10, a glow­wire loop is heated up to temperatures of 500oC to 960oC. The specimen (GWT) or the basic material in a defined thickness of 0.1 to 6 mm (GWFI and GWIT) is then held for 30 seconds against the glowing wire. Beneath the specimen there is a sheet of tissue paper that must not ignite (GWT and GWFI). If there are no flames or afterglow and the flames or afterglow extinguish within 30 seconds after removal of the glow­wire and the tissue paper does not ignite, then the GWT is passed. If the specimen is not completely consumed, the GWFI is also positively tested. GWIT is passed if there is no ignition or if flames extinguish within 5 seconds before or after removing the glow­wire and the specimen has not been completely consumed.

Country Clubs Install Xeleum’s LED Lighting for Paddle Tennis Courts

​

BACKGROUND​ : Country clubs nationwide are seeing the paddle tennis phenomenon catch on at their home courts with large numbers of members taking advantage of their clubs’ paddle tennis courts for year round nighttime play. After considerable research on how to upgrade illumination at the courts, Xeleum Lighting’s Zephyr Series LED shoebox fixtures are being selected as the optimum technical and economic solution for providing best­in­class lighting.

CHALLENGE: ​ With high quality and uniform court illumination being absolutely essential, the light fixtures selected to replace the existing metal halide units must meet very specific requirements. Typically, the new lunimaires have to provide a 30 foot candle light level at the playing surface, produce a minimum of glare and spillover, be easy to install and require no maintenance during outdoor winter and summer temperature extremes. ​ LIGHTING SOLUTION: ​ George Palmiero, VP of Sales of Xeleum stated, “For most courts, we recommend our 180 watt Zephyr Series LED shoebox fixtures because we feel they easily met all the requirements that clubs usually specify. Our engineering team also conducts a light study which includes a graphical presentation of the resulting light patern at the playing surface and the results generally confirm the conclusions of our initial analysis. ​ In addition, the Zephyr is a good economic choice because it reduces energy usage

by over 50%.” He added, “The shoebox fixture has a compact design, a lightweight, rugged aluminum housing, is easy to install and is backed by a 5­year warranty. Because of the long­life of our quality LEDs, there is virtually no required maintainence.”

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Xeleum’s ​ Zephyr ​ Series of LED Shoe Box Luminaires encompass the latest technological advances in the design of LED chips and the light fixtures that house them. The built­in thermal management system ensures the LEDs will always run at the cool temperatures necessary to achieve their full long life potential. The ​ Zephyr ​ series of luminaires are constructed with the latest generation of long life and high efficacy LM­80 certified LED chips which, together with superior photometric engineering, ensure a durable and rugged fixture that will operate for many years at far less power input than conventional Metal Halide fixtures, without maintenance or the need to ever replace light elements. Each ​ Zephyr ​ fixture is IP65 rated for use outside in harsh weather conditions.

Control technology for LED lighting cuts energy usage by half again

​

INDUSTRIAL REPORT FOR LED LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS For the latest news and insights on the web at ​ www.superindustrialonline.com ​ or ​ www.edanaro.com Compare leasing and finance vendors online

LED lighting for commercial, industrial and consumer use has rapidly become mainstream, driven by a variety of factors such as large energy cost savings, long life, superior lighting quality and affordable prices. Many forecasts see over 80% of the world’s lighting being converted to LEDs by year 2020. And now a new generation of control technology is promising to cut lighting energy costs in half again, and at a relatively small cost.

By combining LED illumination with advanced control technology, companies such as Xeleum Lighting are making it possible to precisely manage light levels, and to direct the illumination to locations where and when it’s desired. Then, when the system senses that there is no further need for full illumination, it switches it to an energy saving preset lower level, or even to fully off.

Xeleum’s new LED fixtures for stairwells and low occupancy locations are perfect examples of this new technology. When a person enters a stairwell in which Xeleum Athena stairwell fixtures are installed, attached sensors immediately direct the fixture at that landing to switch from low to full illumination and, simultaneously, instructions are wirelessly transmitted to fixtures at adjacent landings to also switch from low to full illumination. The system then senses the direction of movement of the occupant and continues to maintain full illumination of the landings at, above and below, the occupant as the occupant progresses from landing to landing. On landings within the stairwell where there are no occupants, the illumination is maintained at the low level specified by building code.

Xeleum’s Artemis wireless networked technology for office, warehouses and commercial garage fixtures accomplishes similar savings with a different control technology, one that is tailored for this specific application. Here, the fixtures are wirelessly connected to form a network and the user has the option of having the full network, or zones within the network, switch from a preset low lighting level to full illumination upon the detection of occupancy by sensors built into the fixtures.

The result is that when there is occupancy at a location within a zone, illumination of all fixtures within that zone switches from full off or from a low preset level, to fully on then, after there is no further occupancy, illumination returns to its energy savings low level. This microprocessor based feature is not only affordable but, because it does not require a coordinator, gateway or special application running on a separate computer, is simple to install and operate.

ZIERICK SURFACE MOUNT INSULATION PIERCING CRIMP TERMINAL FOR COAXIAL CABLE Zierick Manufacturing Corporation is pleased to announce an extension of its line of Surface Mount Insulation Piercing Crimp Terminals. This patent pending product allows for termination of RG174/U or RG316/U coaxial cable.

The connectors use a series of blades oriented to pierce the center conductor and outside jacket dielectric materials to create an electrical connection to both the signal wire and braid (ground) in a single operation – eliminating any additional soldering operations.

Zierick offers this product in standard EIA Tape and Reel packaging (Part Number IPC­2­1­T). Insertion requires the outer jacket and braid to be stripped approximately 0.250"/6.35mm. The cable is then inserted into the connector and the housing can be pressed down via a hand tool or small press.

The terminal is perfect for applications with a usable range of up to 3.25 GHz while providing a VSWR of less than 1.5:1 (at 2 GHz) and 1.6:1 (at 3 GHz).
