GravityZoo will possibly shake up the whole collab niche - if they get it tow work cross platform. Other weakness: .Net framework required (that killed it for me). THe approach however will be ppicked up and will change *everything*
I have been following the GravityZoo development since the Read/WriteWeb article. It can actually run cross-platform (any platform) and it doesn't needs .Net Framework. GravityZoo will not only change the collab niche, but the face of "computing" as we know it today!
You can read more comments from a GravityZoo developer on the article here: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/gravityzoo_review.php
"At this moment we limited the client to Windows, but that's mainly because we have a limited budget and a limited team of developers. Of course, there is more than just Windows and there will be support for Linux, MacOS X and more platforms in the future (especially mobile platforms). On Windows we're currently depending on .NET (2.0), because this gives us easy access to all common Windows versions and a Microsoft-supported roadmap to the future. It is entirely possible to replace .NET with something else, like it is needed on most non-Windows platforms. Our backend isn't using Windows at all (it runs primarily on FreeBSD but also works on Linux and Windows)."
The following application uses a 5 x 7 40-digit VFD by Noritake. Each character is written in a single cycle since all 35 anodes (Al through A35) of the 5 x 7 matrix are pinned out. The characters (1 through 40) are scanned by selective control of their respective grid, each of which is pinned out (G1 through G40). Respective anodes of all characters (A1 of Char 1 through Char 40) are connected. This format is common to most dot character or segment character displays (Figure 8-64). Multirow displays require additional control. This is usually provided through parallel access to the anodes of each additional row (Table 8-5).

Lightning Surge Arresters and Composite Insulators Used in Substation Distribution line
In order to prevent safety accidents caused by internal and external overvoltages of the power system to substations, overvoltage protection devices such as lightning arresters, lightning rods, and grounding grids are usually installed in substations. As one of the important lightning protection devices, the lightning arrester is very common in the protection of substations. Today, Junhe Electronics will share with you the types of arresters used in substations.
