AS50571B (Current)03/16/2016

This specification covers the general requirements for red and white individual instrument lights. This document has been streamlined. Appendix A to MIL-L-5057F lists those documents required for MIL-L-5057F acquisition and is a mandatory part of MIL-L-5057F. Those documents listed in Appendix A have the same status as those referenced directly in MIL-L-5057F (first tier documents). All other documents, referenced through tiering, may be used as guidance and information to supplement MIL-L-5057F. This document’s scope is limited to lamp source designs solely. Furthermore, the use of red lighting should not be considered for new design and included within this document to support requirements for existing military aircraft that still operate with this system of lighting.

While functionality cannot be compromised inside heavy trucks, their cabs increasingly mesh practicality with passenger-car sensibilities for comfort and ambience. “There's no storage!” a woman said rather incredulously to her husband, surveying an interior concept on display in a supplier's booth at the recent Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, KY. “It's a show truck, hon,” he replied. “It's supposed to look pretty, not be functional.”

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-1427811/01/2011

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

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

90082602/01/1990

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.
