High-Density Bus Converter
The high-voltage V•1 Chip Bus converter has a power density greater than 1,000 W/in.3

The high-voltage V•1 Chip Bus converter has a power density greater than 1,000 W/in.3 Designated B352F110T30, this bus-converter module (BCM) is a high-efficiency (>95%) Sine Amplitude Converter that operates from a 330 to 365-Vac primary bus to deliver an isolated l0.3 to 11.4-V secondary. This BCM measures 1.28 × 0.87 × 0.56 in. and is compatible with standard pick-and-place surface-mount machinery and assembly processes. The unit provides flexible thermal management through its low junction-to-case and junction-to-board thermal resistance. In typical applications, the BCM may not require a heat sink due to its high conversion efficiency and safe operating temperature range.

Cine-Digitar 1.33x Anamorphic Lens
Home cinema has finally caught up to Hollywood, and Schneider Optics makes it possible. The Cine-Digitar Anamorphic 1.33x Lens System enables 16:9 digital projectors to fill the entire height and width of 2.35:1 format screens with cinema-quality images, eliminating the letterbox black bars that typically frame the image when a 16:9 projector with a conventional lens projects a Cinemascope movie....
Seismic Protection System
While woodframe structures have historically performed well with regard to life safety in regions of moderate to high seismicity, these types of low-rise structures have sustained significant structural and non-structural damage in recent earthquakes. This NEESWood project, funded by the National Science Foundation, seeks to take on the challenge of developing a seismic design philosophy that will...
Friction Pendulum Sliders
At Colorado State University, Prof. John van de Lindt has applied a base isolation system to a light-frame wood building for shake-table testing. The test structure is supported on a base isolation system consisting of four sliding bearings. The bearings are friction pendulum system (FPS) bearings that isolate the building from the earthquake ground motion by allowing the building to “slide” laterally...
Earthquake Shake Table
At Colorado State University, civil engineering professor Dr. John van de Lindt conducted a series of earthquake shake table tests of a half-scale two-story residential building with an integrated one car garage as part of a National Science Foundation funded NEESWood project task related to seismic protection systems. The overall goal of that task is to enable applications of protective systems...
LG90 HGTV 1,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio
The LG90 provides for the ultra-high 1,000,000:1 high contrast and LEDs that provide whiter whites and richer blacks with the added benefit of increased energy efficiency. LED backlighting also results in more natural color representation and faster response time for smoother, more natural picture motion. LG's Intelligent Sensor provides automatic image quality optimization of brightness and...
