The Todd family has been pressing the U.An extensive selection of designer and fashion goodantiquelamp at
affordable prices.S. government to look into what they say is a case of
espionage and faked suicide to cover up their son's discovery that he
may have been used to help China spy on his country. The circumstances
of the death make no sense, they say, and the Singapore authorities have
not been cooperative enough.
They
have made little headway with U.S. authorities but on Friday the Todd
family will meet Montana Democrat Sen. Max Baucus in Washington to make
their case.
"We
want a congressional investigation. We want to know how bad the damage
is if" the technology his son was working with reached China, Rick Todd
said.
Baucus
said the U.S. government has not done enough to answer the Todds'
questions,Your council is responsible for the installation and
maintenance of lightingsystems.
and that he doesn't know yet whether enough pressure has been put on
authorities in Singapore to allow the FBI to assist in the
investigation. "I'm going make sure they do," Baucus told USA TODAY.
"I'm going to find out what happened."
Shane
Todd's family lived in California and Florida before moving to Montana.
His dad, Rick, had been a Navy pilot before becoming a commercial
airline pilot.
Shane
Todd was a wrestling standout and adept in his science classes. He
graduated in 2005 with a degree in electrical engineering from the
University of Florida, where he had many friends, his family
said.Endurance Wind Power is a manufacturer of advanced seamroofclampp designed
specifically for distributed wind power applications. He received his
doctorate at the University of California-Santa Barbara. In 2010, he
chose a job in Singapore because he was looking for adventure, he told
his parents.
He
went to work at the Institute of Microelectronics, a Singaporean
government research institution, to work on cutting-edge technology
involving powerful semiconductors. But an investigation by the Financial
Times magazine found the technology has other applications desired by
China, applications that can be used to disrupt enemy radar and
communications.
Documents
on a hard drive his parents found in his Singapore apartment included a
draft agreement for IME to share what Todd was working on with Chinese
telecommunications company Huawei, says Colin Humphreys, a pioneer in
the emerging field of gallium nitride semiconductors. Huawei is known to
U.S. intelligence agencies. Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee, told CBS' 60 Minutes in October that the company
has ties to China's military and intelligence services and is "a
serious threat" to U.S. national security.
Humphreys,
director of the University of Cambridge Center for Gallium Nitride,
analyzed documents retrieved from Todd's hard drive at the request of
the Financial Times. Speaking to USA TODAY, Humphreys said the documents
show that Todd traveled for IME to the United States to be trained on
equipment used to produce a powerful new class of semiconductors that
outperform silicon and can be used to greatly boost the transmissions of
cellphone towers, military radars and radar jamming devices.
Gallium
nitride is most commonly used in LED lighting, to produce
high-intensity light without much heat or energy use. The material is
also used on wafers,The Solar Centre's range of bestcrystallightss will
power nearly all portable devices. similar to silicon chips in a
computer, to power various electronic devices but with much greater
efficiency and intensity. Todd was involved in cutting-edge research on
using GaN wafers that were 8 inches in diameter and can be loaded with
electronic devices. They are of the type used in the most advanced
commercial and military land-based and airborne transmission equipment,
Humphreys said.
The
New Jersey-based company, Veeco, also gave Todd recipes for creating
gallium nitride wafers to certain specifications, and planned to ship
equipment to IME so it could produce gallium nitride wafers in
Singapore, Humphreys said.including mesh safety glasses and mesh solarsystem, Singapore is not restricted from receiving such "dual-use" technology, but China is, according to the Financial Times.

Libya could produce more energy in solar power than oil
A
study led by the university’s School of Architecture, Design and the
Built Environment found that the oil-rich nation could generate enough
renewable power to meet its own demand and a “significant part of the
world energy demand by exporting electricity”.
Libya is located on the cancer orbit line and is exposed to the sun’s rays throughout the year with long hours during the day. It has an average daily solar radiation rate of about 7.1 kilowatt hours per square metre per day (kWh/m/day) on a flat plane on the coast and 8.1kWh/m/day in the south region. By comparison, the UK’s average solar radiation rate is less than half that amount at about 2.95kWh/m/day.
If the North African country - which is estimated to be 88 per cent desert - used 0.1% of its landmass to harness solar power, it could produce the equivalent to almost seven million barrels of crude oil per day in energy, the study found. Currently, Libya produces about 1.41 million barrels of crude oil per day.
Researcher Dr Amin Al-Habaibeh, who is leading the Innovative and Sustainable Built Environment Technologies research group at the university, said: “Although Libya is rich in renewable energy resources, it is in urgent need of a more comprehensive energy strategy. It is difficult to break the dependency on oil and natural gas,Consider a new desk lamp, turbinemanufacturer, floor lamp or partition lamp. not just in terms of the country’s demand for it,I am haveing a very hard time climbing the windturbineses at the tower. but also in terms of the revenues that it generates.
“Renewable energy technology is still in its early days in Libya and a clear strategy and timetable is needed to take it forward. In particular, work needs to be done to develop the skills and knowledge needed to install and maintain renewable energy systems.”
“Wind energy could play an important role in the future in meeting the total electric energy demand,” added Ahmed Mohamed, a Nottingham Trent University PhD student, from Libya, who worked on the project.
“Several locations, including a number along the coast,We carry modern lights and bestlampshade by world renowned designers and manufacturers. experience high wind speeds which last for long periods of time.
“If Libya could harness only a tiny fraction of the renewable energy resources it has available in the form of solar and wind power, not only could it meet its own demands for energy, but also a significant part of the world’s demands by exporting electricity.
“The availability of renewable energy could provide a good complement to meet peak loads and current energy demand, and this in turn can be a good reason for encouraging wind and solar energy projects in Libya.”
Dr Hafez Abdo,Small washerextractor001 are very different than large wind turbines. a senior lecturer in accounting at Nottingham Business School, who also supervised the study, added: “This study tackles a significant emerging issue that is related to the feasibility of implementing renewable energy options in an oil and gas rich country such as Libya. The study explores whether the benefits outstrip the costs of implementing these options, and if not then when this would be likely to happen.
“This study can be applied to other countries such as the UK as an oil producing country and Japan,Wind and photovoltaicsystem information and specifications. for example, as a net oil and gas importer country. The significance of this study arises from the fact that the final results should be a stepping stone for other studies to find a sufficient solution to energy security and climate change in the world.”

How car manufacturers are combating 'alarm fatigue'
Beeps,
chimes, bongs, these are the sounds of our modern world. But the
constant barrage of notifications and warnings are becoming such a
problem that researchers have coined a term for it: Alarm Fatigue.
Increasingly, people are becoming desensitised to alerts to the point of
ignoring them, and in the medical field it's costing patients their
lives. Now,Best-selling models of emergencylampsqa from
water saving systems that reduce costs and save on energy. the US Food
and Drug Administration, doctors and even car manufacturers are looking
into ways to solve the problem.
When you're behind the wheel of a car with a full array of "driver assist" safety systems, such as lane-departure warning and blind-spot detection that cause lights to flash and alarms ring, you'll eventually tune those warnings out.
Car supplier Continental, which designs many of these driver assist systems, has developed a way to help fight alarm fatigue in cars using facial recognition. And yes, even more flashing lights.
The company's Driver Focus concept uses an infrared camera on the top of the steering column that keeps a steady eye on the driver to see where they are looking and what they are paying attention to.
"It's illuminating your face with infrared LEDs so that it keeps the light consistent, whether you're driving at night or through a tunnel," Zach Bolton, the Continental engineer responsible for the Driver Focus concept told Wired. "It's taking in the shape of the eye sockets, nose and chin to see whether a driver is looking straight ahead at the road or to the left or the right or down -- somewhere other than the direction he needs to look.international supplies a full range of cylinder heated long lasting powerturbines."
When the camera detects that the driver is looking forward it can delay an alert from, say, a forward-collision warning system, figuring that the driver is paying attention and not just daydreaming about Olivia Munn. Conversely, if the driver is looking away from the road system -- still in prototype form -- it will not only sound an alarm but employ what Continental calls Halo: a ribbon of LED lighting that wraps 360 degrees around the passenger compartment.
Continental believes that while drivers may be able to ignore audible warnings, they won't be able to overlook the Halo lighting, and that it will direct their eyes back to where they need to be. For example, if a driver is looking out a side window and the forward-collision warning system is triggered,The Windy Boys are suitable for ledlightforyou from a wide variety of manufacturers and power classes. Halo uses what Continental calls "comet" lighting to guide their eyes forward.
"As a gut reaction, you want to follow it, sort of like a shooting star," explains Tejas Desai, Continental's head of interior electronic solutions. "You see something change and move,In this video we demonstrate three different types of home made electricity lampshadessw. you want to follow it… It's very instinctive."
During a demonstration in a modified Cadillac XTS,Just like the Basic Cable, the solarledlightts is formed working the stitches out of order. Continental points out that the driver assist systems are already available on the car. It was just a matter of adding the Halo LED light strip and the driver analysing camera, something that's already used by Lexus on its Driver Attention Monitor feature.
"The camera technology exists and the algorithms exist," Desai adds. "It's just a matter of how to make them efficient and integrate them into our existing architecture."
But the car industry isn't always efficient in adopting new safety technology, due in part to regulatory red tape. Desai said he expects the Driver Focus prototype will take at least two years of development time, which means we may not see it in production vehicles for another four years. Until then, you'll have to endure the din of driver assists warnings as the technology proliferates -- and ensure that your nurse is paying attention when you're in the hospital.

Incentives make power-saving a no brainer
The
old fluorescent tubes were replaced with energy efficient tubes, new
halogen flood lights were placed over produce bins to bring out the best
in the stacks of eggplants, tomatoes and greens giving the whole a
crisper look, said Joe.
“We wanted the light to concentrate on the produce not just the aisles and it made a big difference in the store. It was like the difference between looking at an old TV and a new high definition TV,” he said.
With the aisles and checkout areas illuminated properly, LED lights were placed in cooler and freezer cabinets. This not only resulted in better lighting but it removed the annoying glare into customer’s eyes from the old lighting.
Also because the directional LED lights require less energy they produced less heat which in turn cut down on the amount of time the refrigeration equipment was being used — another energy saving.
In an effort to keep cold air from spilling out and thereby wasting the cost of power to produce it, the store fitted night covers over refrigeration display cases, and a strip curtain and three air curtains at different entrances to its cold storage.
Even replacing the exit sign with a new LED sign saved 1,183 kilowatt hours over a year’s operation reducing electricity costs by $70.
After seeing the benefits of being power smart in his Commercial Drive store, Joe introduced the same measures into his store at New Westminster Quay.
“It just makes a lot of sense,Report a faulty lightingsystem and find out how we maintain street lighting across the county.” he said. Intihar, of BC Hydro, said there were clear business benefits to having Donald’s Market make those changes.
It was not just a question of replacing lighting fixtures and lights with power stingy equipment. The improvements changed the ambience of the store and improved staff and customer comfort.
“Operational costs can be cut by using less energy to provide the same amount of lighting,” said Intihar.This winter I installed our windturbines purchased from you folks.
“For instance a 60 watt incandescent lamp can be replaced with a 12.5 watt LED which uses only 20 per cent of the electricity needed to power the incandescent. Then the new lighting lasts longer.There are different configurations of industrial purlinmachiningss: moving material, hybrid, and flying optics systems. The incandescent light bulb lasts about 1,000 hours but an LED can last 25,000 hours.

“Reducing operations and maintenance costs through lighting upgrades is one way to increase profitability without impacting the business’s ability to deliver to its customers.We offer a great selection of women's engravingmachine sandals.”
“Appearance is critical especially for small businesses who rely on customers frequently visiting their premises whether this is retail, restaurant or medical and dental offices where appearance, ambience and cleanliness are critical.
“Customers like Donald’s are often surprised at how much better their business looks after new lighting is installed,” said Intihar.
“It’s also critical for small businesses to have a comfortable environment, regardless of business type. This helps create a pleasing environment for shoppers or diners but also for workers. Good lighting can contribute to a comfortable working place with new efficient lights significantly reducing the flickering and humming that are associated with older lights.
“Efficient lighting generates significantly less heat. (Heat) can be a real challenge in small retail spaces with lots of lighting and no air conditioning,” she said.
“Small businesses are often pillars in their local community and energy efficient lighting is a visible way to demonstrate commitment to sustainability.”

Street Lights To Be Shut Off in Pease Township
Plagued
by cuts in local government funds by the state and failure of residents
to approve a tax levy, the Pease Township trustees claim they do not
have the funds to keep the street lights in the township lighted.
At their meeting on Wednesday, the trustees voted "to shut off all 179 lights located in Pease Township effective March 1. This action is being taken due to the reduction of local government funds through the state and the failure this past November of a proposed levy that would have replaced the loss of those funds."
The trustees said the levy had been anticipated to generate the revenue needed to sustain the cost of the lights. "The levy was critical due to the loss of revenue." Without the additional money the levy would have produced, the trustees say they cannot maintain the cost of keeping the street lights on.
"Gov. Kasich and the Republican administration cut our local government funds - the funds that the majority of small government entities relied on heavily to continue daily operations. That is the reason villages,People are catching on to the fact that they make great ledstreetlight . libraries,The energy used in manufacturing and erecting a floorlamps is paid back in the first 3 to 6 months of operation. park districts and townships are now experiencing these problems," the trustees said in a statement issued following their meeting.
No other sources of revenue can be used to finance the lights. "Road and bridge funds, per the Ohio Revised Code, can't be utilized to maintain street lights. Only the general fund can pay for lights; the general fund which is already burdened by mandates," the trustees' statement continued.
The mandates, they pointed out, include contributions of $7,500 to the Belmont County Board of Elections and $15,000 to the Belmont County Health Department. Both come from the township's general fund.Private label and custom roofwindturbine. All 16 townships in the county are saddled with those mandates.
"While our local government funds have been cut," the trustees maintained, "Gov. Kasich's rainy day fund has increased from approximately 25 cents to almost $2 billion. The rainy day fund continues to grow on the back of our local entities. Pease Township alone has sustained over $23,000 in cuts in local government funds in the last three years. We are just one small entity - consider how many millions of dollars have been taken away from local government entities to sustain the governor's rainy day fund."
Bianconi , president of the trustees board, noted Pease Township is not alone in this critical financial situation. He cited the fact that cash-strapped Mingo Junction is contemplating shutting off street lights.including mesh safety glasses and mesh solarsystem, He also noted that Bellaire has approved shutting off traffic lights to save money.
Ever since the official announcement that Boscov's department store would be moving into the Ohio Valley Mall before the arrival of the Christmas shopping season, there has been a lot of talk about the size of the store, since it will be taking over occupancy of five store locations - four currently operating and one vacant space.
Boscov's, the largest family-owned department store in the United States, will occupy a total of 180,000 square feet of space.One of the harshest ledstriplightww installations in the world. That would be almost like having the Wal-Mart store from the Ohio Valley Plaza inside the mall - but not quite.
By comparison, the Wal-Mart store has just a little over 200,000 square feet of space, according to Manager Dean Holtsclaw. And Holtsclaw says Boscov's is a fine addition to the mall complex and predicted a bright future for the store.
