Senators are planning to cut budgets for the space interceptor portion of the controversial US missile defence programme, according to reports. However, it appears that a complementary scheme to blast enemy ICBMs shortly after takeoff using a giant laser cannon mounted in a jumbo jet will be fully funded.
So when Democrats wanted to pass a bill to phase out old-style incandescent light bulbs and require that Americans replace them with more energy-efficient models, they turned to Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens for some GOP support.
The universe's earliest stars may hold clues to the nature of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up most of the universe's matter but doesn't interact with light, cosmologists report.
Bookham, Inc., a leading provider of optical components, modules and subsystems, today announced that its OceanBrightTM submarine pump module has achieved full qualification. The product, which is used in erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), has commenced volume shipments and is actively deployed in undersea cable systems around the world. It will be shown for the first time in Europe on the Bookham stand (number 17094) at ECOC 2007.
Unidym, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Arrowhead Research Corporation, announced today that U.S. Patent No. 7,265,174 has been issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. With respect to transparent conductive films, Clemson University has exclusively licensed this patent to Unidym. Unidym is a leader in the development and manufacture of carbon nanotubes for applications in the electronics industry. Unidym, which recently merged with Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc. (CNI), possesses a foundational patent portfolio that covers nearly every aspect of carbon nanotube manufacturing and processing.
Recent research shows that humans are surprisingly poor at matching a face in a photograph to that seen in real life. The situation is the same with automatic face recognition systems. In today’s surveillance society, correct photo identification is of the utmost importance and with the government’s proposed identity card scheme expected to begin in 200, the ID issue is highly controversial.
Cree, Inc., a leader in LED lighting components, today announced it has achieved R&D results of 129 lumens per watt for a cool-white LED and 99 lumens per watt for a warm-white LED. These are the best results reported for packaged, high-power LEDs, and they clearly indicate that Cree is extending its lead in solid-state lighting through its continued investments in LED technology.
Research by the Advanced Institute of Technology Photonics group scientists on new approaches to displays and lighting technology were recently awarded the best poster prizes at the European Materials Research Society (EMRS), Strasbourg and the International Conference on Optical, Optoelectronic and Photonic Materials and Applications (ICOOPMA), London.
Cree, Inc., a leader in LED lighting components, today announced it has demonstrated light output of more than 1,000 lumens – an amount equivalent to the output level of a standard household light bulb – from a single R&D LED. Cree’s achievement demonstrates continued leadership in the development of LEDs that can make traditional light bulbs obsolete.
The Toronto Association of Business Improvement
Areas (TABIA) today announced that Toronto is joining Raleigh, N.C. in a
citywide initiative to install light-emitting diode (LED) lighting throughout
its infrastructure. The "LED City" program, which was launched in February by
City of Raleigh officials and LED manufacturer Cree, Inc., fosters
collaboration among municipalities as they deploy energy- efficient lighting
to deliver cost savings and environmental benefits.
