Micro-Cavity Arrays

TBMG-141953/1/2012

It was not too long ago that basic science lectures began with the three forms of matter: gases, liquids and solids—and somewhere along the line plasmas were occasionally added to the list. But to be precise, a plasma is an ionized gas; thus, a subset of the big three. But this subset has coexisted with the other forms since the Big Bang and actually makes up 99 percent of the universe. It is found in our Sun and all the other stars, and in more down to earth applications such as neon signs, plasma TVs, cathode ray tubes, and the ubiquitous fluorescent light.

Taking the Heat: Silicone’s Unique Properties Help Create the Next Generation of LED Lighting

TBMG-1427811/1/2011

As global energy demand rises, the significant energy-saving potential of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting remains a top consideration for lighting manufacturers as well as designers, architects, and consultants looking to offer clients more sustainable options. LED lighting uses one-tenth the power of standard incandescent lighting and lasts 25 times longer — it even has the long-term potential to produce more light, with less cost, than compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLs. In fact, LED lighting may soon replace most lighting in homes, offices, public spaces, and in many other applications.

Intelligent Navigation for Music and Media from Multiple Sources

2006-21-005210/16/2006

The adoption of digital media in the car is rapidly growing; with that are an increasing number of disparate media sources such as portable media players, satellite radio, and HD radio. Media sources utilize various user access models creating a critical standardization problem in the entertainment sub-system design making navigating media in the car not only difficult but a dangerous driver distraction. Each media source creates different metadata and uses slightly different user models contributing to the overall lack of metadata standardization and can result in inaccurate or missing tag information, and multiple categories for the same piece of media. A band like “The Rolling Stones” may be categorized as “Classic Rock” on a satellite system but as “Rock” on a portable MP3 player plugged into the entertainment subsystem. In the car, lack of standardized metadata creates a dangerous environment as the consumer is forced to manually navigate through media; a serious driver distraction. Solutions addressing these issues use technology to unify the metadata from virtually any media source and offer advanced ways to simplify media and music navigation such as; personalized playlisting technology-allowing rapid access to the appropriate content; extended metadata, for DVDs for example, allowing access to program content from the rear seat as well as providing filtering options for the parents; and voice control capabilities allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel while navigating their media collection through intuitive voice commands. Intelligent navigation in the car is the must have technology that allows consumers to better manage, enjoy and discover digital media.

An Experimental Procedure for Simulating an SC03 Emissions Test with Air Conditioner On

2004-01-05943/8/2004

In a continuing effort to include real-world emissions in regulatory testing, the USEPA has included air conditioning operation as part of the Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP). Known as the SC03, these tests require automobile manufacturers to construct and maintain expensive environmental chambers. However, the regulations make allowances for a simulation test, if one can be shown to demonstrate correlation with the SFTP results. We present the results from an experiment on a 1998 Ford sedan, which simulates the heat load of a full environmental chamber. Moreover, the test procedure is simpler and more cost effective. The process essentially involves heating the condenser of the air conditioning system by using the heat of the engine, rather than heating the entire vehicle. The results indicate that if the head pressure is used as a feedback signal to the radiator fan, the load generated by a full environmental chamber can be duplicated. The NOx emissions and fuel economy results follow. Additional vehicles will need to be tested before the test procedure can be conclusively proven.

Distributive Lighting Systems for Interior Applications

2002-01-09793/4/2002

With the development of cars towards mobile offices and homes, people are spending more time inside their vehicle than ever before. Consequently, humanization of car interiors is becoming increasingly important to enhance the drivers' comfort and thereby his performance and safety. This is acknowledged by the car industry and has led to an increasing number of light outlets in the car interior over the last decade. Lighting plays a valuable role in the way the car's interior environment is perceived and this in turn determines the drivers' and passengers' comfort and safety. While up to now functional lighting applications (e.g. switch indicators and reading lamps) have dominated the car interior, these do not contribute significantly to its humanization. Ambient, orientation and contour lighting applications reveal the real value of a car's interior environment. Large-area plastic light guide devices enable us to combine several of the above mentioned interior lighting applications, e.g. ambient lighting and a reading spotlight, utilizing a build-in depth of only 6-8 mm. In this set-up, the ambient lighting function is served at luminance levels complying with the low glare requirements set for not disturbing the drivers' view. In another solution, an 80 – 150 lux reading spot illuminating an area of about an A3 size paper can be generated from the same device, using a single 16W bulb with integrated reflector. In this presentation we will elaborate on several examples of such distributive lighting systems.

AUTOMAY01_045/1/2001

Product developers at Chicago Miniature Lamp discuss trends and advances in automotive interior lighting. Properly integrated into new-car designs, well-harmonized interior lighting is a powerful, cost-effective marketing tool. Besides improving safety, good lighting personalizes the interior for driver and passengers and makes the entire vehicle more appealing, convenient, and distinctive. Studies indicate three additional dollars spent on interior lighting broadens vehicle sales appeal more than $80 spent on audio equipment or $2000 on navigation systems. However, automotive lighting trends and recent advances in lighting technology present design opportunities and technical challenges for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Complex lighting decisions make it important for interior designers to involve lighting experts early in the design process. A vertically integrated supplier offering a choice of light sources, optical technologies, and manufacturing approaches can integrate custom solutions at the lowest cost and shorten time-to-market. The number of interior lights in the average automobile more than tripled from the 1995 to 2000 model years. Safety legislation now requires lighted indicators for antilock brakes and other features on new passenger cars, vans, and heavy trucks. More plentiful than dashboard indicators are the vanity, map, and convenience lights that attract potential buyers.

Passive Learning; Putting Simplicity Back Into Driving

9519588/1/1995

The future of automotive transportation is very promising with many exciting systems and features designed to enhance customer comfort, convenience and safety. That technology will be meaningless if it is not designed to be readily accepted and easily understood by the customer. A passive system that quietly and unobtrusively “learns” driver tendencies and preferences and uses that knowledge to adjust various vehicle systems will minimize customer apprehension about new technology and increase it's acceptance and usage. Future transportation technology must be designed to adapt to each customer's expectations and abilities or we are apt to receive messages like ..... Disc Error On Driver One!

Structural Headliners-Their Development, Acoustical and Physical Performance, Modular Capabilities and Economics

9008262/1/1990

This paper covers the development of different species of structural headliners, such as fiberglass, styrene, polyester fiber, thermoformable polyurethane foam and foam composites. The recent development emphasis of the structural headliner is focused on the acoustical performance being equal to the in-vehicle test results of non-structural headliners being utilized in conjunction with roof bows in North America. The critical criteria in the development of the structural headliner is the physical performance with regard to both roof deflection and the ability to function as a modular headliner.

Transparent Touch Panel for Vehicle Application

8703922/1/1987

In today's automobiles, the amount of switches on the dash panel has made the operation of the vehicle become very complicated and complex. Thus, there became a need to simplify these functions by using a multi-function display with touch panel. We were faced with many challenges such as: electrical reliability, appearance and life under severe environmental conditions, along with a good touch panel “feeling” and operational force. We have solved all of these problems and we succeeded in developing a transparent touch panel for vehicle application.
