Freeform Lens

In this study, our proposed ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) mosquito-trapping lamp is designed to control diseases brought by insects such as mosquitoes. In order to enable the device to efficiently catch mosquitoes in a wider area, a secondary freeform lens (SFL) is designed for UV LED. The lens is mounted on a 3 W UV LED light bar as a mosquito-trapping lamp of the new UV LED light bar module to achieve axially symmetric light intensity distribution. The special SFL is used to enhance the trapping capabilities of the mosquito-trapping lamp. The results show that when the secondary freeform surface lens is applied to the experimental outdoor UV LED mosquito-trapping lamp, the trapping range can be expanded to 100π·m2 and the captured mosquitoes increased by about 300%.

Central Management

Emerging lighting technologies provide opportunities for reducing carbon footprints, and for biodiversity conservation. In addition to installing light-emitting diode street lights, many local authorities are also dimming street lights. This might benefit light-averse bat species by creating dark refuges for these bats to forage and commute in human-dominated habitats. We conducted a field experiment to determine how light intensity affects the activity of the light-opportunistic Pipistrellus pipistrellus and light-averse bats in the genus Myotis. We used four lighting levels controlled under a central management system at existing street lights in a suburban environment (0, 25, 50 and 100% of the original output). Higher light intensities (50 and 100% of original output) increased the activity of light-opportunistic species but reduced the activity of light-averse bats. Compared to the unlit treatment, the 25% lighting level did not significantly affect either P. pipistrellus or Myotis spp. Our results suggest that it is possible to achieve a light intensity that provides both economic and ecological benefits by providing sufficient light for human requirements while not deterring light-averse bats.

The Core

Because the car headlamp light intensity is too large and it leads to accidents, This paper is based on the initiative to reduce the light intensity of their vehicles according headlights glare or close the high beam and open the lamp method, to achieve the purpose of the glare. The system is AT89C51 microcontroller as the core control, use of photodiode sensor to induction opposite the car headlights light intensity , when opposite car headlights light intensity up to a certain value, photodiode get a signal to the microcontroller ,and then microcontroller sends a signal, to control buzzer sound or not. When the buzzer sounded, using DAC0832 chip to control the brightness of the light emitting diode or control the light on and off and low beam enabled. When enabled for dipped beam, has been more than the antiglare range; after the scope enabled high beam, in order to achieve the anti-dazzle cycle. Through practice, the system has reached the anti-dazzle purpose and has practical value .

A Performance

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar um levantamento dos principais parâmetros de aplicação da fotobiomodulação proveniente da Terapia a Laser de Baixo Intensidade (TLBI) e/ou da terapia com diodos emissores de luz (LEDT) empregada sobre a FM, além de propor sua empregabilidade clínica por meio de protocolos que apresente evidências científicas. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados do PUBMED, utilizando as palavras-chaves disponíveis nos DESCs: “Photobiomodulation Therapy”, “PBTM”, “Low-Level Light Therapy”, “LLLT”, “Light-Emitting Diode Therapy”, LEDT”, “Phototherapy”, “Exercise”, “Fatigue”, “Performance”, “sport” em diferentes combinações e associadas aos descritores booleanos. Foram considerados os seguintes critérios de inclusão: ensaios clínicos controlados e randomizados, publicados na língua inglesa, período de publicação entre os anos 2017 a 2020. Com isso, foi feita a leitura aprofundada dos artigos e mediante a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, restaram somente dez artigos publicados. A terapia de fotobiomodulação realizada por meio da utilização da TLBI e LEDT é capaz de atrasar o processo de FM e consequentemente aumentar a performance. Contudo os parâmetros ideais de aplicação dessa ferramenta ainda continuam demostrando muitas variáveis. Exceto pelo comprimento de onda, que é o único parâmetro de aplicação que demostra uma tendência.

SUMMARY This study investigated the influence of battery charge levels on the stability of light-emitting diode (LED) curing-light intensity by measuring the intensity from fully charged through fully discharged batteries. The microhardness of resin composites polymerized by the light-curing units at various battery charge levels was measured. The light intensities of seven fully charged battery LED light-curing units—1) LY-A180, 2) Bluephase, 3) Woodpecker, 4) Demi Plus, 5) Saab II, 6) Elipar S10, and 7) MiniLED—were measured with a radiometer (Kerr) after every 10 uses (20 seconds per use) until the battery was discharged. Ten 2-mm-thick cylindrical specimens of A3 shade nanofilled resin composite (PREMISE, Kerr) were prepared per LED light-curing unit group. Each specimen was irradiated by the fully charged light-curing unit for 20 seconds. The LED light-curing units were then used until the battery charge fell to 50%. Specimens were prepared again as described above. This was repeated again when the light-curing units' battery charge fell to 25% and when the light intensity had decreased to 400 mW/cm2. The top/bottom surface Knoop hardness ratios of the specimens were determined. The microhardness data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance with Tukey test at a significance level of 0.05. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine significant correlations between surface hardness and light intensity. We found that the light intensities of the Bluephase, Demi Plus, and Elipar S10 units were stable. The intensity of the MiniLED unit decreased slightly; however, it remained above 400 mW/cm2. In contrast, the intensities of the LY-A180, Woodpecker, and Saab II units decreased below 400 mW/cm2. There was also a significant decrease in the surface microhardnesses of the resin composite specimens treated with MiniLED, LY-A180, Woodpecker, and Saab II. In conclusion, the light intensity of several LED light-curing units decreased as the battery was discharged, with a coincident reduction in the units' ability to polymerize resin composite. Therefore, the intensity of an LED light-curing unit should be evaluated during the life of its battery charge to ensure that sufficient light intensity is being generated.
