the time to create power and LED lighting designs

While the tools dramatically simplified and sped the design process, the time for engineers to export a design to their licensed CAD development platform was tedious and time-consuming. Developed by TI, and in cooperation with the makers of the CAD development platforms, WEBENCH Schematic Export now enables the engineer to instantly export these dynamically created power and LED lighting designs to a variety of platforms, such as led flood light  Mentor Graphics DxDesigner and Altium formats such as Altium Designer.Engineers know that TI’s WEBENCH tools considerably reduce the time to create power and LED lighting designs,” said Chris Donato, Altium Sales Director, Americas. “With the addition of WEBENCH Schematic Export, the engineer no longer needs to manually enter the design into the CAD platform, nor is there a need to worry about errors made in the process. Now, designs created with WEBENCH Schematic Export easily and expertly convert to Altium Designer in seconds.”

Japan’s winter light show has taken place at a botanical garden on the island of Nagashima in Kuwana since Nov. 3 and will be on display until March 31, 2013, dazzling visitors with its display of 7 million LED lights. The illuminated wonderland is considered the best lightshow in the country.This year’s theme is “nature.” Displays feature breathtaking scenes inspired by Japan’s famed Mt. Fuji at sunrise, as well a rainbows across the sky and landscapes resembling an aurora.Previous shows have also featured many beloved Japanese characters such as light bedazzled Domo-kun. It is particularly popular for its Christmas and wintertime feel.The LED lights supposedly sprawl the entirety of the garden, over its grounds and are even strewn over the water. The entire LED light show is solar powered, and environmentally friendly.

The company reported a 27 percent drop in fiscal year profits, intends to sell water-treatment assets and has been unsuccessful so far in selling it Osram lighting business.The Journal said the plan is a response to a weakening global economy and falling prices for many of Siemens' products.President Dr. Hir-Ming Shieh of UOC reports “Based on the good experience with our existing led high bay light.we are now preparing capacity for expanded business opportunities with this new AIX 2600G3. We consider this configuration to be the most suitable choice to ramp up our advanced laser production capacity.”Christian Geng, Vice President Southeast Asia and General Manager of AIXTRON Taiwan, adds: “We are excited that UOC has chosen AIXTRON again, based on our superior technology and support, and we are looking forward to starting up this tool. UOC has an outstanding reputation for a wide range of laser diodes.
