The size of the YAG "glyphs" in the prepared Ce-doped samples showed a bimodal distribution, although the undoped YAG/[Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] MGCs do not exhibit texture with a bimodal size distribution for the YAG regions [4].
Ce-doped YAG/[Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] melt-growth composites (MGCs) grown by the [mu]-PD method were investigated.
Recently, Ce-doped YAG/[Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] MGC was proposed as a superior phosphor material for high-power, white-light-emitting diodes (LED) excited by blue LEDs or laser diodes (LD) [3].
This paper presents the results of the first attempt to produce Ce-doped YAG/[Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] MGC by the [mu]-PD method.
Matsushita Electric currently holds 56.3% of MCI, 51.5% of KME, 57.6% of MS, 57.6% of MKEI and 67.6% of
MGCS.
Not surprisingly, they were also the first buyers of BluePrint Automation's Modular Gravity Case Packer (MGC), a workhorse that takes finished, packaged product on its final journey off the production line.
Prakken told Quick Frozen Foods International that he got the idea for the MGC when visiting a potato processing factory in Holland and being told by the owner: "Here are the bags and the case.
The innovative inventor went to the drawing board shortly there-after, and the rest is history - chapters of which are still being written with the recent introduction of the fifth generation MGC packer, which boasts an increased throughput of 20 cases a minute.
The MGCS research personnel asked to try the software as an R&D tool.
3D CAD fever quickly spread, not just within the MGCS, but throughout the entire Matsushita Group.
The mGCS is a derivative of our proven VCS-4586 software that focuses on providing capabilities to the small unit level, said Kevin Westfall, director of unmanned solutions at Lockheed Martin s Mission Systems and Training business.
mGCS was developed on an open system using commercial off-the-shelf technology that is interoperable with a variety of portable computers, hand controllers, autopilots, data links and sensors.
