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.

Design Engineers' Portal for Sensing and Machine Safety
Whatever industry you're in, or whatever product you manufacture, the right sensors to automate your plant, and to improve your overall efficiency, quality and safety are a must. You'll find Banner Engineering to be an amazing resource of products, training and people with expertise.
The introduction of LabView 8 coincides with the 20th anniversary of LabView, a popular integrated, design, control and test platform for design engineers. John Pasquarette, NI's director of software marketing, explains that the majority of new features were inspired directly from the users themselves. "Our customers take LabView and use it in ways that we have never even considered, then it's up to us to catch up and build features into the product that make their lives easier," he says. One of the most noteworthy features in LabView 8 is its new distributed intelligence capabilities, which now permit engineers to design, distribute and synchronize a host of distributed devices and systems ranging from embedded processors to DSPs. Pasquarette points out that this capability, in development starting in 2001, is not merely a new feature, "but an infrastructure that will be built upon for many versions to come." LabView 8 also includes a new project feature that engineers will find useful for managing large-scale development projects. Giving the user a system-level view of an application, it allows engineers to organize an entire system from their code to the drivers, documentation and hardware.
A new driver finder is targeted at both novices, as well as the advanced measurement engineers who may still be working in a pencil-and-paper mode.
