Thomas Reiners, director of Application Technology for special lighting at Osram said, “Compact and efficient LED sources will be mandatory for low energy consumption especially the environmental friendly electric vehicles in the future in order to achieve the car industry’s CO2 objectives. A dipped beam headlight with these light sources will use less than 15 watts and therefore save 40 watts of power input per vehicle side compared with a halogen solution.” With a power input of 19 watts per dipped beam, the one-liter car’s lighting is far more energy efficient today than conventional headlight solutions, in which mostly halogen lamps with 55 watts are used. Even Xenon lamps at 35 watts of input use 20 percent more energy on dipped lights (95 percent of nighttime driving) than two Joule JFL2 LED modules. “Energy efficiency and ease of integration were good reasons to rely on LED solutions for headlights on our one-liter car. This technology is just as forward-looking as our vehicle,” said Henning Kiel, lighting engineer at Volkswagen. Replaceable LED light sources represent a genuine alternative to the lamps already available in the car industry. Oct 27, 2009 Osram’s LED technology will contribute to the energy efficiency of Volkswagen’s L1 concept car, which according to Volkswagen can go into production in 2013, has headlights that are equipped with new Osram Joule JFL2 LED systems and matching reflectors. The LED modules take care of the dipped and main beam functions and consume far less energy than conventional headlamps. Joule JFL2 LED modules will be introduced in production in early 2010 and can then be included in new vehicle models easily and across multiple platforms.
US or European technology for LED is still leading the market aas in the niche market of Automobile, however, once the stringent automobile quality requirement has been qualified, and people has been seeing this kind of head Lamp running on the road for a few years, more and more cars are keen on using LED as their lighting solutions. Instead of acting as a sales gadget for top of the line model. more volume production model will be using LED the LED head lamp business will grow gradually. As who will be paying such a large amount of money to buy a car not using LED on your, LS430, 3.5TL, 750Li, Q7 3.6 Quattro, Bentley Continental, Porsche Panamerica, or a Cayenne Turbo?
This is an Audi R8 using Lumileds HB LED for their Hi and Lo beam Head lamps. taken on 9 July at Tsue Mun Sea food market.
The A8 is built with Osram LED for Hi Lo Beam and DRL
Since Lumileds launched for the first time for their High Power LEDs on Audi Top of the line R8 in 2007, and Koito Head lamp using Toyoda Kosei LED on Lexus LS600Ih low beam Head lamp... Over the years they have been lighting up thousand miles of road by these two players in a lead LED application market.
However the revenue created was not too much as all, as Audi initially announced that they produced only 20 R8 cars a day using the best of Audi Technicians and Toyoda may not produce so many as on their top of the series Lexus LX600ih hybrid luxury sedan.
Now Osram is really entering into the major market of A8 as the luxury category. That is a good sign for such a move as Osram is the world 2nd and Europe largest package LED manufacturer, their power on manufacturing is yet to be seen. Osram is famous for their penetration of their LED into the Automobile industry, BMW, Mercedes Benz Audi, Volkswagen are using more r less LED from Osram.
Naturally they understand the importance of LED reliability for Automobile stringent product requirement. Ostar LED family provides some of his hi-performance LED for head lamp of Audi A8, each unit of LED produces 160 lm at a current of 700 ma and say five of these unit will produce 800 lumens. Osram’s OSTAR headlamp is available as a new product platform with up to five LED chips, each with typical light values of 160lm at 700mA. Together, depending on the variant and operating current, 125–1100lm is achievable. With its scalable brightness, the OSTAR headlamp suits all headlamp functions such as low and high beams, cornering lights, fog-lamps and even daytime running lights, says Osram.
LED has an advantage over HID lamp as for their effective life time is much longer, they can be switched on and functions at highest lighting intensity within in 2 milli seconds which is critical for High speed at night. Their profile is thinner and easy for the car design, could be a kind of face lifting for the car. Power saving, an essential element for EV car.
...yeah, not anything about my life in Manitoba yet, sorry to those of you who were looking for that. Think I need to figure out what my life in Manitoba is before I can write about it.
So instead I'll talk about television. But not in the way I normally talk about television.
You may have heard about "Sun TV News". It's a new all-news network being proposed by Quebecor, owners of a successful French-Canadian media empire and the Sun newspapers, and fronted by former Conservative PR guy Kory Teneycke.
Because Quebecor is known for its right-wing populist leanings, and because Teneycke has openly mused about how Canada needs an equivalent to FOX News, many have jumped to the conclusion that Sun TV News will in fact be that equivalent. Don Newman, the longtime CBC political broadcaster, has done so, for one.
Now, Mr. Newman is a smart man and while I think he comes off as a little blustery and hyperbolic at times in that article, I do agree with his general point. It's okay for news to accidentally create different viewpoints or interpretations of stories, because most news stories do have two or more viewpoints. The problem is when something calls itself "news" and decides to always emphasize the same viewpoint based on ideological predisposition rather than truth value. Having a liberal news channel and a conservative news channel and a socialist news channel is not the good idea that Teneycke suggests it is, because it means that when people disagree on the news, they will be doing so because they understand the same story with three different sets of facts. If the news all comes from organizations striving to be objective without any ulterior motives, people will still disagree, but at least they'll all agree about what they're disagreeing on.
Thus far in the game, Sun TV News has not had a lot of defenders--and that's perhaps to be expected, as how many media types are going to defend somebody who is calling them obsolete? (Teneycke has stated, and if I'm paraphrasing it's not by much, that Canadians care more about the opening of a new Victoria's Secret store than they do about Parliament Hill, and that his network, unlike other Canadian news channels, will talk about what Canadians really want to know.) To me, that sounds like Teneycke is planning for his channel to be more focused on celebrity and water-cooler-du-jour topics--in which case, isn't that already what CP24 is doing?
Actually, when I think about it, there are a lot of parallels between CP24 and Sun TV News. Trying to be "hip" and "engaging" to win an audience, and using a cable news channel to supplement a broadcast station that practically nobody watches. (I mean, how many of you even knew there was a Sun TV station near the beginning of the dial before reading this sentence?) Not to mention that Sun TV News isn't exactly going to be full of household names...their "big hire" thus far has been David Akin, who is a solid journalist, but far from a known commodity outside those political circles Teneycke is claiming he wants no part of.
Really the only defense I've seen of Sun TV News, aside from those mounted by people involved with it in some capacity, came from, of all people, David Haskell (one of my more frequent professors during the past four years), published in a smattering of newspapers across the country. I'm not sure that I agree with the premise that there is a liberal bias in Canadian media to begin with (unless we're accepting the popular-in-Internet-arguments phrase "the truth has a liberal bias"), and even if there is I think it's less about ideology and more about storytelling. A couple years ago, CTV's Kitchener station ran a series of stories on a man who was laid off due to the recession, unable to find a job, and ultimately ended up homeless. The liberal story would be "this poor man! He didn't do anything wrong so he should get assistance and maybe we can help with that!". The conservative story would be "this man needs to claw his way back out of homelessness". It seems pretty obvious that the liberal story, as is almost always the case, is at least the more compelling.
Haskell does have one good point, though. There is generally a noticeable anti-organized religion bias in the mainstream media (Catholics, oddly, seem to get spun in a positive light more often than most other denominations even though their scandals get covered just as quickly). I'm just not so sure that the best way of fixing that bias is a conservative network (which would in turn be followed by a liberal network pushing the "normal" back in the CBC/CTV direction), especially when said network has never said anything about promoting organized religion.

And for no good reason, some footage of downtown Brantford as it looked in 1992.
Cut tari finally apologize to all Indonesian People due to the spread of her scandal Video with Ariel Peterpan, Like we know the news of the Hot video of Ariel and Cut tari has made many people worried, Cut tari Apologize to public for her Scandal Video with Nazriel ilham AKA Ariel Peterpan, She finally declared that the appeal to the Indonesian public apology following a case of obscene video that has been appalling and makes uneasy.

As promised in Friday's post covering "Everlands" I was lucky enough to be able to chat to the developers Hexage to find out what makes them tick -
Where are you based? What are your offices like?
The company is registered in UK but the studio is based in Prague, Czech Republic.
Our office is quite different from most other working places we've been to. We have utmost respect for each other's privacy and working pace so everyone has own "study" and works his or her own hours. It works well because we're all keen on what we do and we're glad we work in environment where everyone feels like home.
Medical scrubs and nursing scrub is an important thing that every hospital always has. The scrub can make differential between the patient and nurses and the doctors who work in hospital. Beside that, medical scrub has effect to the patient psychology. Usually, hospital staff using white scrub or green scrub. It was happen entire world. Someone which got sick get more stress because they see the hospital staff/worker using usual medical uniform.
I think, patient psychology need to review every time, because it has effect to treatment process. It may take more time. But, when patients see the hospital staff using good uniform, using eye catching color uniform, using modern or latest style uniform, that can make the patients has a smile. It can make patient more happy and it may help the treatment process and the patient has spirit to make new healthy life.
So, I think the hospital developer need to make new design of medical scrubs and nursing scrubs. I know that it is not an easy job to make new design. But, the hospital must do this for better service to the people. I have a solution for a hospital that need scrub/medical uniform designer. You can go to www.blueskyscrubs.com on there you can find new design of scrub and medical uniform. BlueSky use the best material for their product. So, don’t worry about the quality and the comfortable. They have it.
Worth pointing out, incase anyone reading is entering the developer challenge - the deadline for submissions has been extended to August 31st, 2010. Also the "free" publishing period has been reduced from 3 months to 1 - meaning more revenue for the winner!! For full details please visit here
