| Anand Pistons The friendly gents at this stall wanted to be in the picture   Absolutely massive pistons made for earth-moving equipment. Thats a 13.7cm bore!  Some perspective on how large it was  Beautifully machined. This is a work of art in itself!  |

| JNS Instruments These guys make some top-quality instrument clusters!  This is from the Euro-spec Civic. The front is made of acrylic that is shaped to be a bit of a lens, giving an awesome feel of depth to the instrument cluster. Absolutely gorgeous!  Here it is in the real-world  Source : http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive...nterior-lg.jpg The person there said this might have been from a GM car sold in Japan - any idea which one?

| Sarita Forgings These guys make forged components (much stronger than cast components), which are then machined down to exact specifications.  Thats a connecting rod in its forged form (connects the piston to the crankshaft). It will be machined down, and even cut at the bottom so that it can be fastened onto the crankshaft.  |

| National Semiconductor This company makes the LED drivers for headlamps and taillamps. (ie the circuitry to power the LEDs and not the actual headlamps) Here the main beam is a HID, but everything currently lit up is LED. The 3 projectors at the top use a 4watt LED each (the kind you find in top-end LED flashlights). No active cooling (fans) required, but naturally there are heat-sinks for the LEDs. Pretty bright!  The LED brakelights use a bunch of 25ma LEDs.  The advantage of LED taillights is that : 1) They don't burn out like regular incandecent bulbs 2) They light up to full power a few milliseconds faster than any filament bulb does - hence cutting down on reaction time. Even a 100ms faster reaction time can in theory save you meters of braking distance when travelling at high speeds. Last edited by Dippy : 15th January 2010 at 17:44.

| WITTE Modular Fixtures From the "Germany" Pavillion (which had some really nice stuff) - this was one of my favourites from the expo.  Anyone who has ever laid out a frame or chassis for welding will know how hard it is to jig it up PERFECTLY - and that every millimeter that your project gets skewed results in much more heartache with the other components down the line. Witte provides a very neat and solid modular system (ie can be configured to any size, in many ways) to lay out or hold your work - whatever be the purpose.  Here you can see how the modular blocks are attached to each other - and clamps or various other holding devices are attached to the backbone of the system.

| TATA Elxsi Remember the Tata Manza website where you can see a 360* view of the car and its interiors? Tata Elxsi is responsible for those creations and other CGI work. Yep its a Tata owned company. On the screen was some of their animations for the new Tata Venture IIRC  Last edited by Rehaan : 9th January 2010 at 15:02. |
