Frequently Asked Questions

Can a reflector be used to project more light?

Innovationhouse.com - Nightstar Frequently ASked Questions
An LED forwardly projects light in a narrow and well-defined cone of illumination. Placing a reflector behind an LED will contribute nothing to increasing light output since there is no light to reflect. Adding a reflector to NightStar would only increase the unit cost and complexity. However, by placing a precision lens at the appropriate point, light output from the LED can be effectively collected and collimated. The lens in NightStar was chosen specifically to maximize light projection.

Is light output the same for reflector bulbs?

Frequently Asked Questions - Arevco Lighting
For reflector bulbs like an R20 or an MR16 Lux is more important than Lumens. Lux is a measurement of light on a surface. Reflector bulbs are available with different beam spreads. A bulb with the same wattage and a narrower beam will have a higher Lux. If you are lighting an object from a distance you may be able to choose a lower wattage reflector bulb with a narrow beam to save money on electricity.

Which strain was used for the sequencing project?

Frequently Asked Questions
The strain sequenced for the systematic genome project was S288C. The standard genotype of S288C is matalpha gal2 mal. In addition, the chromosome IV sequence is from S288C derivative that contained a nonsense (ochre) mutation in the TRP1 gene. The systematic sequence shows no defect in the GAL2 gene, so it's not certain whether the strain sequenced was actually a gal2 mutant.

What is the source of the cells used in this project?

Project Idaho - FAQ
Tissue recovered from a 45-day-old mule fetus was used to establish a primary cell line. The cell line is composed of fibroblast cells. How do you know the baby is a clone? Will it look and behave like its siblings? We used genetic markers to show the DNA from the foal was the same as the cell line used as the nuclear donor and different from the DNA of the mare that received the embryo and other control mules.

What do I do if the reflector breaks?

Demb Flash Products -
The hinge corners have been sanded to avoid breaking through the plastic. To ensure maximum life of your reflector panel, it is suggested that you grasp the hinge rather than the panel when setting the angle. Reflectors may be easily replaced if necessary from the order page.

What do I do if the reflector warps?

Demb Flash Products -
The reflector panel is made of semi-rigid vinyl and is stable up to 120°. Care should be taken to avoid leaving it in full sun on a hot day, on the dashboard of an automobile, or other situations of extreme heat. If the panel warps, it may be easily restored to flatness by taking it off and putting it in a pot of boiling water for about 10 seconds.

What is this about a World News Now Reflector Site?

Miscellaneous: World News Now FAQ
WNN was the first nationwide news program to broadcast over the Internet. Broadcasting began on November 23, 1995, exactly 32 years after the debut of "Dr. Who." It petered out some time after that due to the shaky nature of the broadcasts and the setup getting messed up, most likely by agents for Microsoft breaking into the ABCNews offices sometime during the day when (we think) nobody's around and messing up the Macintosh on which it ran.

How do I adjust my reflector?

MoPix – Frequently Asked Questions
Test captions are available before the show to enable Rear Window users to adjust their reflectors. Adjust the reflector by bending the gooseneck arm and tilting the plastic panel until you see the captions comfortably. The captions can be positioned over or just below the movie screen. Some users report that the reflector works best if it is positioned low and further away from the body. This will also result in less need to readjust the reflector if you move in your seat.

What is a Reflector?

Frequently Asked Questions about Telescopes | Discovery Tele...
The Reflector (sometimes called Newtonian Reflector) contains a curved mirror at the lower end of the optical tube. This bowl shaped mirror reflects light and gathers it to a point further up the tube, where, a flat mirror at an angle reflects it into the eyepiece. Quality reflecting telescopes produce sharp, bright images of the entire range of astronomical subjects.

Can a larger capacitor be used to increase the time of useful light output?

Innovationhouse.com - Nightstar Frequently ASked Questions
Several capacitors were studied during the development of NightStar. NightStar currently uses a 1-Farad, 5.5V capacitor. A capacitor with an energy storage capability 3 times greater than this is also available (3.3-Farad, 5.5V). However, it would require 3 times longer to fully charge this capacitor. The 3.3. farad capacitor is also larger and would increase the size of the flashlight.

What's "the light"?

The alt.comedy.standup FAQ
At some point while you're on stage, someone will shine a light in your eyes. This is the owner's/manager's way of saying "Your time is over, wrap it up." You then have about a minute to get off the stage. Generally, the light is used to make sure a show runs smoothly and on time. However it can also be used to tell you that your performance bites or that the person with the light has a petty vendetta against you.
