New AEC Website

By Design News Staff -- Design News, June 26, 2006

Site offers information in four sections

The redesigned site has a new look, and has sections focusing on four main areas. The Find an Extruder section offers a simple search and options for advanced searching. Directories are organized alphabetically and geographically for extruders, suppliers and producers. Searches produce contact information and various plant capabilities data such as forms produced and circle size, plus finishing, fabrication and special services, essentially an online version of the annual AEC Buyers' Guide. The Technical Information Section has facts on material comparison, alloys, the extrusion process, tolerances, finishes, and other information. The Extrusion Applications section provides the council's online newsmagazine, Aluminum Extrusion Showcase. The Extrusion Basics section has an overview of aluminum, plus academic resources with basic knowledge of the aluminum extrusion process.

Light Matters: A High-Performance, "No-Compromise" Solid State Lamp?
First, let's define "no-compromise". In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package, and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
