The first stage involved the creation of computer-generated animated images

As a design services company for 700V ICs, GrandTek already has an established and well respected expertise which Tower will be building upon, adding the advanced process features from its differentiated 0.18-micron power management platform. The first step in the 700V platform will be a power process consisting of 20+ transistor types covering from 6.5V to 700V operating ranges. This base technology will be achieved with very low layers. Further development will include 5V CMOS, 1.8 CMOS, SOI, and Deep Trench.

Valeo unveils a world first: a new technology that will transform lighting and signaling systems. The 3D-effect technology, used in the front and rear position lamps, adds substantial depth to the perceived image, despite being only 25 mm thick. It is based on the principle of the multiple reflection of light from LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and opens up significant new styling possibilities.Valeo has equipped the D09 concept car with this technology. The delicate appearance of the rear lamp is enhanced by a trompe-l’?il effect, the result of considerable research. The design teams at Citro?n and Valeo worked closely together right from the start of the project, to produce front and rear lamps that maximize this technology. The first stage involved the creation of computer-generated animated images, followed by the fine-tuning of appearance details on a mock-up.

Visible Light Solar Technologies is tackling a huge and urgent problem.  Commercial and industrial lighting accounts for approximately 15% of total US electric consumption and is a significant and growing line item for every business.  Visible Light Solar believes that the solution to this challenge is changing our lighting products, combining low power LED lighting components with renewable power solar technologies that, together, cut the energy consumption of our lighting fixtures by up to 85%.Businesses and communities are starting to embrace the future of lighting. Not only are they focused on conservation, but they are also concerned about how areas are lit and where the light is actually going.  More and more designers are taking into account residential areas, schools, and nature in their designs in attempt to better manage wattage usage and light spread.
