(copper, indium, gallium, selenium) deposition equipment technology to market. This technology helps solar panel manufacturers to reduce their production costs and increase the feasibility of solar panels as an alternative energy.
According to David Bruns, Senior Vice President of Veeco’s Solar Operations, “Veeco will facilitate the development of this critical technology, creating green energy jobs. We would like to acknowledge the integral support of MN District 53B House Representative Carol McFarlane, in addition to MN District 53 Senator Sandy Rummel, MN 4th District Congresswoman Betty McCollum, and other various high-ranking elected government officials. Through visits to Veeco and encouragement of our efforts, they clearly demonstrated their strong support of green energy technology and its advancement in the state of Minnesota.”
In total, the state of Minnesota awarded just over $4 million dollars in funding for the Emerging Renewable Energy Industries Grant Program. Veeco’s proposal was one of approximately nine selected by the Minnesota Department of Commerce Office of Energy Security (OES) OES-101920009. The purpose of this grant program is to provide funding for a portion of the cost of multiple activities to promote improved economic performance of both the direct recipient and its Minnesota suppliers and customers
Direct Mass Flow Meters / Controllers 2010-06-25
The new IN-FLOWCTA Mass Flow Meters by Bronkhorst High-Tech, The Netherlands, are modular instruments of rugged design according IP65 (dust- and waterproof). They can be combined with integrated or close- coupled control valves to form compact digital Mass Flow Controllers, whereby flow ranges are measured and controlled within the range

of 10-200 mln/min up to 50-5000 ln/min. The ATEX approval for use of these instruments in Category 3, Zone 2 hazardous areas is pending.
Mass Flow Meters of the IN-FLOWCTAseries work on the basis of direct through-flow measurement (no by-pass), following the constant temperature anemometer principle. The instruments contain no moving parts and have no obstructions to the flow path, which makes them ideal for low pressure drop applications and virtually insensitive to moisture or particulates.
The instruments have analog I/O-signals and also an RS232 connection as a standard feature. In addition to this there is the possibility of integrating an interface board with DeviceNet™, Profibus-DP®, Modbus or FLOW-BUS protocol. The basic pc-board features integrated PID Control and various alarm and diagnostic functions. With these multiple functions and its rangeability up to 1:100, the new IN-FLOWCTAseries truly offers an excellent price-performance ratio.
Applications can be found in process control
