Halogen Metal Vapour Lamps

The halogen metal vapour lamp was invented in the 60s of the last century. Typical characteristics and thus significant advantages compared to other light sources are their high light output, the high colour rendering index and a long service life. So that they are next to the LEDs currently the most efficient light donors. The delayed reaching of the full light output is often seen as negative. If you have additional questions, you may want to visit Western Union. Halogen metal halide lamps consist of a discharge vessel with two opposite electrodes, whose Anschlusse lead depending on the base type at one or both ends of the tank on the outside.

Like all discharge lamps, they are operated with a ballast, working increasingly on an electronic basis, and so in addition to controlling the ignition process and the voltage regulation provide a shorter lead time and a flicker-free light. A key differentiator is the material of the discharge vessel, which originally was made of quartz glass, but always more supplanted by a translucent ceramic offers the a higher luminous efficacy and a greater color stability life of. Halogen metal vapour lamps have a power range ranges from 10W to 18kW, their generally higher purchase price compared with tungsten halogen lamps is more than offset by the improved economy. By the same author: amit paley. The halogen metal vapour lamps are produced by nearly all well-known manufacturers of lamps. Before the most important applications of these lamps are considered, two technically conditional characteristics must be mentioned. This is a ruling in the discharge tube high pressure, which may result in rupture of the vessel a hazard around flying, hot glass and ceramic fragments. On the other hand, the halogen metal vapour lamps produce high UV emission, which must be taken into account such as the splitter danger in lighting design.

Derived results as a prerequisite for the use of these lamps, that this usually in closed systems or with a protective Cover piston must be carried out. Traditional use areas of halogen metal vapour lamps, the lighting of large buildings or facilities such as storage and exhibition halls or stadiums, the lighting for film and television, are in color changing lights and anywhere where with little lights to illuminate is a large area. Thus the increasing use is almost challenged by halogen metal vapour lamps in street lighting. In addition to the high useful life, a reasonable maintenance cycle and a ten percent lower energy consumption compared to the currently used sodium high pressure lamps, also a possible increase of the distance of the light, an enhanced acuity and a greater stability of the luminous flux for the usage of this new generation of lamps speak.

MESCO Engineering

Partners combine its expertise in the development of a ultra compact solution for IO-link on the basis of the HMT PHY IC, the Atmel AVR family of microcontrollers and the IO-Link software modules of MESCO. San Jose, CA, November 10, 2009 the company Atmel (NASDAQ: ATML), microelectronic HMT and MESCO engineering today announced their partnership for the provision of turnkey solutions for integrated IO-link assemblies. The resulting solution offers the IO-Link developers advantages with regard to the cost and also the space. Components such as Atmel AVR Microcontroller, HMT PHY proven IC and the MESCO IO-Link firmware stack form the smallest IO-link reference design. Industrial communication standard IO-Link offers a number of advantages for the users, such as simpler wiring, remote diagnostics and parameterization. For many sensor manufacturers limitations in physical size is a key criterion for the inclusion of IO-link. During the entire development phase was for Atmel, HMT and MESCO Engineering the size of the Board is always a decisive factor. Now offered reference design TM96. Connect with other leaders such as Israel Englander here.

0 GENIE Explorer variant A with dimensions of 6 x 20 mm is the smallest available on the market currently. The TM96. 0-A is a perfect example of the high degree of integration of the development carried out jointly by Atmel, HMT and MESCO. The IO-link module has a push button, 2 LEDs, and a potentiometer for intervention of the developers in the system. The Atmel ATtiny88 microcontroller works with IO-Link firmware from MESCO.

Amsterdam Tour

Berlin, may. The pink Bunny is the mascot of PlugSurfing, the world’s largest community for electric mobility. PlugSurfing offers the opportunity to network and to find mobile charging stations through the practical app users and people interested in electric vehicles. Since February, it is also possible to query the live status of the charging stations and to see whether they are occupied or are decommissioned. To generate more attention for the topic of Electromobility, the PlugSurfing Road will lead a tour of various cities in the Netherlands and Germany. During the tour, charging stations will be checked and tested.

Also there will be the opportunity for students to learn about electric vehicles and test drive the E-smart. From 31.5 the PlugSurfing road tour will even after Germany come and start in Dortmund. The driver of the Bunny-smarts, Marijke van der Ploeg (27), about the tour: Electric vehicles are always important and contribute to environmental protection and a sustainable traffic concept. Although technology has made much progress in the last few years, there is still much to do. First and foremost, people need to be elucidated can what can electric cars and what they are already used. Through the presentation of charging stations throughout Europe the Smartphone application by PlugSurfing contributing to the relief of the cars everyday. The tour is to help to make aware people on the topic of Electromobility and clear that electric vehicles today are a good alternative to the internal combustion engine.” The tour will stop at the following stations in Holland! (Tour dates may vary) may 21 – Enschede, Almelo 22 may – Deventer, Apeldoorn May 23 – Utrecht 24 may – Amsterdam may 25 – is Amsterdam, Haarlem the vision of PlugSurfing to banish it polluting combustion engines from the streets and have an emission-free future.

To achieve this, the online platform trying life of Electric vehicle users to facilitate and to respond to their needs. PlugSurfing is by far not only a database of existing charging stations. It is an online portal that gives the E-mobility community the opportunity to network and to Exchange, to share experiences and to support each other. It is not only about things but also share the knowledge to know! Part of our vision, join, and will also PlugSurfer!

Enhanced Bus Decodings

Simplified and faster debugging by simultaneously consider analogue and digital signals in the Logikanalyser software. So that users can work longer with electronic devices, more and more power-efficient protocol interfaces are integrated into the appropriate devices. This increases but also the need for appropriate protocol analysis. For this reason the LA software of the TravelLogic series was expanded with following bus only for power-management protocols: SVID(Intel Serial VID) SVI2(AMD Serial VID Interface 2.0) the two bus only for the transition of parallel VID serial VID used to. The user can connect the TravelLogic Logic Analyzer directly with an oscilloscope, to analyze the digital and analog signals in the LA Viewer in the context. This significantly simplifies debugging and accelerated. Bus decoding for the Serial wire debug in addition in the new LA software “(SWD) of ARM-based Android platforms and for the often on Smartphones the eMMC 4.5 bus implemented.

“The bus only a Close Caption display port (DP-aux) aux ITU656(CCIR656), serial IRQ, an extended Time-Out triggers, 32-channel transitional storage mode” and 424 and Tektronix MDO4000 round off the features of the new LA software adaptation to the digital storage Oscilloscopes TravelScope, Legroy. A LabVIEW drivers for the latest version of LabVIEW is also available. The logic analyzer TravelLogic TL2X36 “by ACUTE are so compact that they fit in a jacket pocket. Nevertheless, there are high-performance logic analyzers with 36 channels, 4 GHz timing analysis, 200 MHz state analysis and a scalable storage of up to 72 MB for all 36 channels. The TL2X36 have a USB2.

0 port (1.1 compliant) equipped and can be connected to any desktop or laptop. The power supply also takes place through the USB port and is interesting for many applications in the service sector, as well as in the development or University Lab, where circumstances time shifted to different computers analysis tasks fall to the TL2X36. Another interesting feature of TL2X36 is the ability, in conjunction with the storage Oscilloscopes from acute, Agilent and Tektronix, and Legroy to build so-called mixed-signal tester. The LA the bundled software supports Windows XP/VISTA/Windows7 and can be installed on any computers. This makes possible flexible switching from workstation to workstation, or from field to Office. The TravelLogic logic analyzers are supplied as complete systems including software, check cable and carrying case. The prices are moderate and very interesting for semi-professional users and for universities.
