HP predicts that "oval" LEDs will become the new standard for full-motion, full-color video signs, replacing the traditional cathode ray tubes used since the 1980s. Benefits of the LEDs, says HP: They last longer (70K+ hours), weigh less, are weather proof, and use up to 20% less power. HP designed its latest 5-mm LED lamps specifically for these full-color outdoor signs, as well as for single-color information signs. The lamps feature an oval-shaped radiation pattern (35 3 70 degrees) and high luminous intensity. They have smooth, matched radiation patterns that deliver consistent color mixing in full-color applications and message uniformity across the viewing angle of the sign. The lamps also use high-efficiency LED materials--aluminum indium gallium phosphide (AllnGaP) for amber and red, and indium gallium nitride (InGaN) for blue and green. Applications include outdoor displays such as advertising billboards and stadiums, and indoor displays like those in sports arenas, conference halls, and shopping malls. Hewlett-Packard.

Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
