the model will be equipped with modified bumpers

Set to grace the stage in Frankfurt, the facelifted model will feature new turn signals that consist of 18 LEDs in the headlights and 24 LEDs in the taillights. When the turn signal is activated, the diodes are sequentially illuminated - from the inside outwards - in the desired turning direction. Audi says this has the "potential to significantly enhance traffic safety" as the lights "provide a visual signal that can be clearly and quickly perceived."

Looking fairly conservative, the updated model has modified bumpers, a revised grille and new exhaust finishers. The real highlight is the addition of Matrix LED headlights which use 25 individual diodes to deliver the optimal amount of light regardless of the situation. The headlights operate primarily in high-beam mode and automatically dip the relevant sections when oncoming traffic is detected by a camera. As Audi explained, "The system operates with such precision that it blanks out light that would shine directly onto oncoming and preceding vehicles, but continues to cast the high beams with full power on all other zones between and beside them."


Besides the turn signals, the model will be equipped with modified bumpers, a revised grille and new exhaust finishers. The car will also feature Matrix LED headlights which use 25 individual diodes to deliver the optimal amount of light regardless of the situation.

the lumens produced by the incumbent technology

LED modules, each with an independent heat sink, provide optimal thermal management and ease of replacement, while stainless steel latches enable tool-less maintenance. Mast installation toggle and arm sleeve pivots can be adjusted for precise aiming. The fixtures are compatible with controls and sensors for optimal efficiency.

CWE has successfully developed EMC LED lead frames

Chang Wah Electromaterials (CWE) announced recently it will withdraw from Top Energy Saving System’s (TESS) board. CWE planned to take over TESS management and acquire the company, but has called off the merger deal since TESS former Chairman Tsai Wen-Kuei's suspected violation of Taiwan’s Securities and Exchange Act, said CWE Chairman and President Huang Chia-Neng.

CWE has successfully developed EMC LED lead frames, said Huang. The company planned to acquire TESS to expand its LED lighting strategy, obtain related technology, and establish product brand and exports.

Taiwan's Securities and Futures Investors Protection Center demanded compensation from Tsai and other TESS members suspected of violating the Securities and Exchange Act. As a result CWE, which joined TESS board in June, quickly announced its decision of exiting the board. In addition, Huang declared his resignation from TESS chairman.


CWE’s investment plans in TESS were bogged down by legal limitations, said Huang. CWE will only be able to watch TESS’s 108 employees lose their jobs as the company goes bankrupt. Since TESS terminated stock trade in late March 2013, CWE board passed an issuance of stock for cash plan in April this year, but has not executed the plan yet. According to Huang, the company will not give up its LED lighting strategy, and will be establishing a new subsidy and brand in the future.

language versions of the site will make the Rubicon experience easier

The GENxplor creates high quality epitaxial layers on substrates up to 3 inch in diameter and is ideal for cutting edge research on a wide variety of materials including GaAs, nitrides, and oxides.Korean and Mandarin language editions of the company’s web site yahamlighting.com. The new international editions are designed to better serve Rubicon customers throughout Asia.

“Rubicon has a considerable presence in Asia, and so we want to provide a positive experience for as many visitors to our site as possible,” said Raja M. Parvez, President and CEO, Rubicon Technology. “Since the launch of the new site, we have noticed a significant volume of traffic coming from Asia and the Pacific Rim. These new Asian- language versions of the site will make the Rubicon experience easier and more productive for Japanese, Korean and Mandarin language visitors.”

Its efficient single frame design combines all vacuum hardware with on-board electronics to make it up to 40% smaller than other MBE systems, saving valuable lab space. Because the manual system is integrated on a single frame, installation time is reduced. The open architecture design of the GENxplor also improves ease-of-use, provides convenient access to effusion cells, and allows easier serviceability when compared to other nichia 160w chip led high bay systems. When coupled with Veeco’s recently introduced retractable sources, the GENxplor system represents the state-of-the-art in oxide materials research.

professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology

The article revealed that the project was fronted by piezoelectric expert Zheng Lin Wang, professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, U.S. If successful, the concept could be used for inkless fingerprint scanners, biological imaging and to enhance the performance of micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS). During the recent demonstration, Wang and his team grew 2.7 micron diameter zinc-oxide nanowires into arrays that were able to sense touch with a resolution of 6,300 dots per inch and a switching time of 90 milliseconds.

Naturally interested by all updates and developments within the industry, a company representative shared his thoughts on the subject:

“It’s exciting to think that LEDs could be involved in such a big breakthrough. All the time LED technology is being used to make advancements into everything from medical discoveries to food preservation and wireless internet. Because they are so energy efficient, this also benefits the environment at the same time.”

The bollard lights are ideal for waterfront areas that are visible from the beach

According to reports, Access Fixtures introduced LED turtle friendly lights to protect sea turtle hatchlings. Also known as wildlife lights, the turtle friendly LED bollard lights use 7 watt amber led high bay light that are visible to humans, but not to turtles. The bollard lights are ideal for waterfront areas that are visible from the beach, including private properties, condos, country clubs and marinas. Furthermore, the LEDs are energy efficient, long-lasting, and require low maintenance.
"The demand for turtle-friendly lighting has increased now that many waterfront locations are requiring it," said Access Fixtures Sales Manager, Dan Rodriguez. He added, "The new amber LED bollard lights respond to the frequent need for environmentally-compliant turtle lights as well as the growing demand for energy efficient lighting."
When sea turtles are hatched, they instinctively move towards the moonlight reflecting off the ocean. Due to light pollution, sea turtles have been found wandering inland instead of out to sea. While turtles can see higher color temperatures used in fluorescent or incandescent light sources, they cannot see longer wavelengths like 590 nm used in amber LEDs.

The LED bollard lights are available in round or square, with the choice of standard reflector or type-5 glass. The amber led flood light source is also available separately to replace lamps in existing fixtures. To withstand coastal climate conditions, the bollards have enhanced durable housings. Beyond turtle-friendly lighting, the LEDs have 80% energy savings compared to incandescent lamps and have an average life of 50000 hours. The amber LED module can easily be switched for more typical color temperatures for use outside of turtle nesting season.

there were no significant improvements in the general economic environment

There were no significant improvements in the general economic environment, according to the report. China’s economic growth rate slowed down during first half of 2013 to the rate of GDP 7.6%, and the country’s faces enormous pressure to transit and upgrade. While the developed U.S. economy is showing signs of rebound, the continual strength remains to be observed. Although, the Eurozone has emerged from the debt crisis whirlpool, it is still under the shadow of economic recession. The overall economic downturn has negatively impacted ETI, as the company’s main operations are in small electronic appliances and LEDs.
Within the reporting period, the company has been actively promoting private stock issuance that is still under review. The company has successfully issued company bonds valuing RMB 800 million on the stock market that has helped funded the company’s operations with low-cost capital.

In 1H13, the company’s LED operations improved significantly. The company’s LED chip production capacity has started to release production volume in different phases. LED chip sales reached 168 million and surged at an exponential rate of 536.55%, almost equivalent to the total annual sales value in 2012. The new products have significant development, and the company has started shipments of small volumes of “Northern Lights” flip chips.
