NIST funds LED projects under Advanced Technology Program

Several LED-related projects have been awarded funding by the National Institute of Standards and Technology under its Advanced Technology Program. The US Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced 56 new awards for innovative industrial R&D projects under the agency's Advanced Technology Program (ATP).
The new awards potentially represent a total of up to $138.7 million in ATP funding together with an industry cost-share of up to $104 million, if all projects are carried through to completion. ATP awards are made contingent on available funding and satisfactory Progress throughout the multi-year research schedules.
The awards in the FY2007 competition will be the last under the ATP, which has now been abolished, although of course ongoing ATP projects will continue to be supported.
Among the awards are:

Electric Blanket, also known as electric mattress, a contact type electric heating appliance, it use a special soft cable type which insulation performance reached the standard of electric heating element, sewn this shape of snake soft cable into blanket, It will heat up after turn on power.
It is mainly used to improve the temperature of the bedding in people's sleep to achieve the purpose of heating. It can also be used to dehumidification and dampness of bedding. It has a history of more than 100 years, with less power consumption, adjustable temperature, convenient use and extensive use.

In order to ensure the safety of electric blanket and prolong the service life of electric blanket, and prevent and avoid the unsafe factors occurring during the use of electric blanket, please pay attention to the following problems.

1. before using the electric blanket, we should read the instructions in detail and operate in strict accordance with the instructions.

2. the voltage and frequency of the power supply are in accordance with the rated voltage and frequency calibrated on the electric blanket.

3. the electric blanket should be strictly prohibited from folding. In the process of using an electric blanket, it should be often checked whether the blanket has a heap and a fold, and if there is, it should be spread out and then used again.

4. the electric blanket should not be used together with other heat sources.

5. if the preheating electric blanket is used, it should be absolutely forbidden to use itin high setting all night, and the power should be turned off before the user goes to bed.

6. the baby and the person who can not take care of themselves should not use electric blankets alone. They should be used by the accompany.

7. don't put the hard material on the electric blanket, and do not put the electric blanket on the protruding metal or other sharp objects.
