Ocean Optics Contributes to Gulf Air Quality Monitoring in Wake of Deepwater Horizon Spill
HR2000 used in Argos portable UV DOAS air monitoring system
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, June 28, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Modular HR2000 spectrometers from Ocean Optics (www.OceanOptics.com), are enabling air quality monitoring in the Gulf of Mexico as part of Argos Scientific's portable UV DOAS air monitoring system. Argos Scientific is working in conjunction with Hillsborough County, Florida, to monitor the environmental impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The project has special significance to Ocean Optics as the company is located on the Gulf side of Florida and its community will be affected in coming months as the oil advances, upsetting both water and air quality.
The HR2000 High-resolution Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer is a small-footprint spectrometer that provides optical resolution to 0.035 nm (FWHM). The modular spectrometer design allows users to select optical bench options such as the detector, grating and entrance aperture (slit).
Argos custom-configured the HR2000 spectrometer used in its portable UV DOAS air monitoring system. In the Gulf, the system has already analyzed a number of environmental samples, containing a mixture of oil and sea water, from the spill area. Vapor analyzed from the samples indicate the presence of two gases with unique UV spectral features being emitted from the samples. The data from these initial investigations will be used to update the system's spectral libraries. A UV DOAS system has been set up in Mississippi for continuous monitoring, with real time data posted at: http://fenceline.org/test/map.php .
A second Argos system has been sent to the University of North Alabama, where a calibration and test facility has been established to accommodate future samples associated with the oil and dispersant material collected by community members in the Gulf area.

Memco Supplies its Elite Elevator Safety Systems to Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi
Light curtains to be fitted to doors of 74 elevators in Terminal 3
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, June 28, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Global elevator safety and communications specialist Memco's Elite elevator safety systems are to be installed in 74 elevators at Indira Gandhi International Airport's new Terminal 3 in New Delhi, India. The systems will be fitted to elevator doors supplied by ThyssenKrupp Elevator. Memco is a Halma company and is represented in India by TL Jones, also a Halma company.

Memco's Elite safety system features two independent detection systems. The first is a light curtain of infra-red beams criss-crossing the elevator car's doors; the second is a 3D proximity detection system in the landing zone. Any person or large object breaking the light curtain or detected within the 3D zone triggers a system which automatically reopens the elevator doors.
The combined system consists of a transmitter detector (TX) and receiver detector (RX) mounted on the car doors. Each housed in a robust profile only 9.8mm wide, they automatically sense door separation and adjust themselves for optimum performance. In many installations a separate controller is unnecessary and the detectors can be connected directly to the door controller or elevator operator.
The Elite features the latest software as standard, including power reduction and timeout features, and can be fitted to virtually any new or existing elevators. This versatility makes it one of the most competitive and easy to use elevator safety systems on the market (more information can be found here: http://www.memco.co.uk/en/elite/674.html).
Indira Gandhi International Airport is the busiest airport in South Asia by traffic movements and passenger volume. It serves as the primary civilian aviation hub for the region and in 2007 it handled 23 million passengers, with a planned expansion programme increasing its capacity to handle 100 million passengers by 2030.
The new Terminal 3 building, expected to cost US$ 2.6 billion, will have the capacity to handle an additional 33 million passengers annually by the start of the 2010 Commonwealth Games in October. On completion it will be the third largest terminal in the world, after Dubai International Airport's Terminal 3 and Beijing International Airport's Terminal 3.
It will be a two-tier building, the bottom floor being the arrivals area and the top being a departures area. It will have 168 check-in counters, 74 aerobridges, 72 immigration counters and 15 X-ray screening areas, along with duty-free shops and other features. Over 90% of passengers passing through the airport are expected to use this terminal when completed.

Labsphere's FS2 Flashlight Measurement System Meets ANSI Test Requirements
System measures properties of light output on LED, tungsten, xenon and krypton lamp assemblies
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, June 28, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- ANSI standard FL 1-2009, governing basic performance of hand-held/portable flashlights, spotlights, and headlamps providing directional lighting, is the first documented set of requirements for flashlight measurement. Labsphere's FS2 Spectral Flux Measurement System facilitates accurate spectroradiometric, photometric and colorimetric characterization within the testing guidelines for conditions, run time and light output measurement. Designed specifically for this application, these turnkey systems evaluate lamp efficiency for development and manufacture of LED, tungsten, xenon and krypton lamp assemblies.
Photo: http://halmapr.com/labsphere/FS2ANSI.jpg (640 KB)
The FS2 System's integrating sphere, coated with Labsphere's proprietary highly reflective diffuse Spectraflect®, delivers exceptional spatial integration, critical for the uniform, repeatable and reproducible measurements required by the new standards. The system provides lab conditions as specified in the standards, including the ability to calibrate showing traceability to NIST standards.
ANSI FL 1-2009 requires manufacturers to determine and report Run Time-the amount of time elapsed (under continuous operation) at which the device's light output reaches a level when users will commonly replace the batteries. The FS2's unique V-block sample holder ensures the device mates with the measurement port easily, the same way, every time, complying with the requirement that the device to sensor distance be identical for initial and end point measurements. The system software gathers periodic light measurements and records corresponding time values during the Run Time testing.
Labsphere's FS2 system determines Total Luminous Flux (Lumens) - the total quantity of emitted overall light energy as measured by integrating the entire angular output of the portable light source, as required by the ANSI standard. In addition, the system assesses Total Spectral Flux (Watts/nm), Total Radiant Flux (Watts), Colour (CCT), Lamp Performance vs. Time, Peak and Dominant Wavelength, Spectral Purity, Colour Rendering Index (CRI), Chromaticity Coordinates and Half-Bandwidth.
The system's MtrX-Flashlight measurement software provides a user-friendly, intuitive platform for calibrating the system and analyzing measurements. All measurement results are captured instantly with real time graphics and the ability to generate and export reports.
Labsphere's experienced engineering staff are able to specifically address the unique needs of each customer, designing a custom FS2 system for the type of flashlight application under study. For more information please contact Vikrant Mahajan, Labsphere's USA-based Applications Engineering Manager, on e-mail: vmahajan@labsphere.com or telephone: +1 603 927 4266 (extension 2198).

Keeler Launches New PSL Portable Slit Lamp
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, June 28, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- To allow quality eye examinations anywhere, ophthalmic instrument manufacturer Keeler has developed the new PSL Classic Portable Slit Lamp. Perfect for use on paediatric, elderly and disabled patients and for remote or off-site clinics (including veterinary eye exams on animals of all sizes), the PSL packs precision Keeler optics into a compact, handheld unit.

The PSL's slit and wheels include slits from 0.15 to 1.6 mm wide, a 12mm circle and a 1mm square to produce anterior chamber flare, aiding the diagnosis of uveitis. Red free, blue and ND (Neutral Density) filters all come as standard. The PSL's advanced optics offer x10 and x16 'flip lever' magnification, with illumination control down to zero.
The PSL has been designed to be lightweight but with the strength to withstand daily trauma; a sturdy, precision-machined aluminium chassis forms the foundation of the British-manufactured instrument, ensuring the high quality and performance associated with the Keeler brand. Keeler has focused on incorporating conventional slit lamp features to create a high performance portable slit lamp.

Crowcon's Vortex FP Flameproof Gas and Fire Detection Control Panel has ATEX Certification
ATEX certification allows use in Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, June 28, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Crowcon's highly successful Vortex range of multi-channel gas and fire detection control panels has been extended to include an ATEX* certified Exd Flameproof version, the Vortex FP, which can be used in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
Photo: http://www.halmapr.com/crowcon/Vortex.jpg (700 KB)
Capable of monitoring up to 12 gas detectors, the Vortex FP is also compatible with smoke/heat and flame detectors and up to three of its input channels can be used for fire detection. Each channel has one fault and three alarm levels which can be combined to trigger up to 32 output relays, allowing connection to a range of external alarms and safety devices such as fans or valves. Intrinsically safe (IS) safety barriers can also be incorporated for use with IS gas or fire detectors.
Sealed to IP65, the Vortex FP features simple push button operation and visual status indicators for each channel, ensuring that the system can be checked at a glance. Its display is also fitted with magnetic switches which enable the system to be interrogated or inhibited without opening the system enclosure.
For easy maintenance, the Vortex FP is modular in design so that replacement parts can be plugged in without the need for complex rewiring. It can be customised to meet all site requirements without the need for complex cabling and can also be reconfigured at any time by a PC using dedicated software. In addition, RS-485 Modbus communications allow for remote non-intrusive calibration and configuration.
Other variants of the Vortex include a standard wall-mounted control system; the Vortex Rack, a 19" rack-mounted system; and the Vortex Panel, for panel-mounting. Crowcon's engineers can advise on the Vortex configuration most suited to a particular application. The company's Project Engineering Team can also supply custom-built systems to match individual requirements.

Vishakhapatnam and Andhra Pradesh, India, Saturday, June 26, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Dr K Rosaiah, today inaugurated the Srikurmam Mineral Sands project, an integrated complex for the extraction and separation of heavy mineral rich beach sands to produce multiple heavy minerals. The Srikurmam project is an initiative of the Trimex Group, India's top specialty value chain provider of industrial minerals for the global markets.
Located at Vatchavalasa Village near Srikakulam town in Andhra Pradesh, the world class, custom-built, Srikurmam complex, is at the cutting edge of extraction, processing, and enviro-sustainability technologies. In terms of capacity and quality. Srikurmam is among Asia's largest and finest producers of Ilmenite--200,000 TPA; Zircon-6,000 TPA; Garnet-60,000 TPA; Sillimanite-50,000 TPA; Rutlile-6,000 TPA.
The products are used in the manufacture of paints, ceramics, abrasives, insulation, cosmetics, paper, leather, glass products, artificial gems, aircraft parts, artificial human joints, and filtration media, among others.
The company has acquired the mining lease for 7.2 square kilometers in the coastline of Srikakulam for 30 years from the date of the lease award, renewable for another 30 years.
Today's inauguration by Dr Rosaiah marks the successful completion of the first phase of the Srikurmam project-pilot studies; bulk samples; extensive hydrology; extensive environmental, social and public perception studies; complete detailed engineering; and the finalization of the mining license agreement with the government and private land owners.
The INR 250 crore investment in the first phase will be followed by INR 4000 crore investments in multiple phases, until FY2017-18, for the expansion of extraction areas, increase of processing capacity, technology upgradation, and research and development of high value and premium products.
Comment by Dr K Rosaiah, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh
The Srikurmam project represents a major milestone for the development of rich natural resources that Andhra Pradesh is endowed with, said Dr K Rosaiah, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. "Srikurmam will play a pivotal role in helping to meet the demand for high quality heavy minerals in the supply-deficit global market. I congratulate Trimex for being extremely serious about of its responsibilities as a corporate citizen. The integration of environment sustainability and transparent involvement of all stakeholders makes Srikurmam a role model for sustainable socio-economic development not just for our state but for the rest of India as well," Dr Rosaiah said.
Comment from Prasad Koneru, Chairman, Trimex Group
Trimex Group Chairman Prasad Koneru said that the project has already generated significant opportunities in the region. "The Srikurmam project demonstrates that environmental sustainability, land conservation, and fast economic growth can coexist. We believe that the Trimex group has established an important enviro-economic precedent for mineral extraction projects. I am confident this project will make a sustainable economic and social contribution to the region," Prasad Koneru said.
Comment from Pradeep Koneru, Executive Director, Trimex Group
Trimex Group Executive Director Pradeep Koneru said that the Srikurmam project is an important milestone for the group and the minerals extraction industry.
"Our mission is to be among the world's largest producers of top quality industrial heavy minerals. We are confident that our fully-integrated multi-mineral separation and processing complex has few equals even among global peers in terms of ambition and quality," Pradeep Koneru said.
"Very hearteningly, all this has been achieved with the transparent and proactive involvement of multiple stakeholders. All the necessary Central and State government clearances and approvals have been received. The project has in place an ongoing reclamation plan, re-contouring of the land to its original shape, including dunes, and management of groundwater resources. The minimum acreage of land is actively mined at any given moment with no use of harmful chemicals and, most importantly, land is merely rented from the landowners and goes back to them after the extraction process is complete," Pradeep Koneru added.
