For those of you considering try-outs for "Who Wants to
be a Millionaire?" you'll want to bookmark SciTech Daily for its trivia value
alone. But you'll get so much more at www.scitechdaily.com .
SciTech Daily is a potpourri of links and information. There is news from around the world, a comprehensive listing of technology publications, plus a nice choice of a variety of "techie" sites. The links and materials change daily, but there are three main sections—Features and Background, Books and Media, and Analysis and Opinion.
On the day we reviewed the site, there were articles on: NASA robotics technology that could clean up maritime paint removal; how holograms will be storing movies, pictures, and computer data much sooner than anyone thinks; the world's largest parafoil soaring in a test where it carried the equivalent of NASA's six-person X-38 Crew Return Vehicle; and an "instant-on" memory device that could eliminate the need for hard drives.

Light Matters: Systems Level Approach to HBLED illumination applications
Its good practice to apply a systems-level approach to high-brightness LED (HBLED) illumination applications. Minimally, the system includes the optical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the of the HBLED, the lens (if any) which is built-in to its package, secondary optics such as external plastic lenses/reflectors to direct the light as your application requires and power driver electronics.
