— In order to have drinking water, some countries have to use chlorine. It is use cause is effective and it's cheap. An alternative to this process is the UV disinfection of drinking water. Most of the devices in the market use UV bulbs or mercury lamps. The UV LED, which is cheaper and smaller, allows creating new smaller devices. The main contribution of this paper is the use of Genetic Algor...

A bilevel driving approach was proposed in the literature for mitigating the energy wastage associated with driving LEDs at high peak current. The main idea is to introduce two drive parameters, i.e., high/low PWM current levels and duty cycles, that give rise to a 2-D luminosity control capability. The same idea was later generalized to an n-level driving approach for maximizing the electrical...

Complex Eu(dbt)(3)(phen) (Hdbt=2-(4', 4', 4'-trifluoro-1', 3'-dioxobutyl)-dibenzothiophene, phen=1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized. The complex emits red luminescence, characteristic of the (5)D(0)-->(7)F(J) (J=0-4) emission bands of Eu(3+) under near ultraviolet. A red conversion light-emitting diode (LED) device was fabricated by coating complex onto InGaN-based-LED chip that emits 395nm u...

Description: The goal is to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar power through the integration of PV, Li-battery, and LED lighting technologies. Since all components are in the form of thin films, the PV/battery/LED system can be integrated as a single module. Since half of the materials cost of each device is the substrate, integrated module will also reduce materials costs and...

The correlated color temperature (CCT) tunable white-light LED cluster with extrahigh color rendering property has been found by simulation and fabricated, which consists of three WW LEDs (CCT = 3183 K), one red LED (634.1 nm), one green LED (513.9 nm), and one blue LED (456.2 nm). The experimental results show that this cluster can realize the CCT tunable white-lights with a color rendering in...

LED lighting has the potential to offer many benefits to the user and to society as a whole. Very high efficiency together with extremely long life expectancy of the LEDs reduces the energy consumption and the use of resources, and can offer low lifecycle cost. In order to become widely accepted, LED lighting must provide dimming capability at least equivalent to that offered by traditional inc...

Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) light traps were modified for use with light-emitting diodes (LED) and compared against a control trap (incandescent light) to determine the effectiveness of blue, green, and red lights against standard incandescent light routinely used for sand fly surveillance. Light traps were baited with dry ice and rotated through a 4 x 4 Latin square design...
