Type3Works, designed for integration with SolidWorks, reportedly allows users to scan and vectorize graphics by linking a scanner and PC. Text Mode function is used for writing free text or text along a curve. The vectorization tool allows users to vector images in black and white or color bitmap format by scanning or downloading files. Applications include mold and sign making, as well as industrial and jewelry design. Vision Numeric USA Inc., www.type3.com. Enter 609
The RT-LAB Engineering Simulator offers engineers a means of producing and running real-time simulations of automotive systems. According to the company, it allows for design distribution over multiple processors, accompanied by cycle times below 25 ms. Fixed-step solvers are designed to offer variable-step accuracy and real-time performance. Software is scalable and reconfigurable. Opal-RT Technologies Inc.,www.opal-rt.com. Enter 610
Vis Concept 3.0 software reportedly creates a full-size virtual prototype from conceptual designs, which may be viewed in 3D using particular 3D glasses. The CAD-neutral software is designed to offer multi-pass textures for several map and texture applications on an object; bump-mapping texture-blending to create rough surfaces; 3D text primitives to provide 3D text anywhere in a 3D setting; behavior-controlled sounds; and video display.

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.
