As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 91,803, while according to a 2006 estimate, the population had grown to 99,200. -- Eltek Valere today announced a new corporate focus on high-efficiency power conversion technology that is a significant industry breakthrough, reaching a level of efficiency that can eliminate tens of thousands of tons of greenhouse gases greenhouse gas n. Any of the atmospheric gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect. greenhouse gas and help telephone service providers save millions of dollars annually in electricity costs. The company estimates that the power need for the operations of global telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. operations totals more than 1% of global energy usage and results in the emission of more than 130 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Between 60% and 70% of that electricity powers the network, meaning it must flow through an AC-to-DC power system like those made by Eltek Valere. The company's high efficiency technology advance offers 96% efficiency, the industry's highest figure. The technology cuts by half the power that is wasted due to the AC-to-DC conversion process. If applied to a mobile phone network with 20,000 base stations, for example, the new DC power systems would cut more than 34 million kilowatt hours Kil´o`watt` hour 1. (Elec.) A unit of work or energy equal to that done by one kilowatt acting for one hour; - approximately equal to 1.34 horse-power hour. Noun 1. in wasted electricity, reducing CO2 emissions by 27,360 tons and saving more than $5 million annually. The company puts its green strategy into operation today with the debut of the first product in its high-efficiency product line, the Flatpack A plastic, square surface mount chip package that contains leads (pins) on all four sides that extend straight outward. The leads are bent and cut for the specific application. See QFP and chip package. 2 HE, a 2,000 watt watt [for James Watt], abbr.

It is used as a measure of electrical and mechanical power. , 48V rectifier rectifier, component of an electric circuit used to change alternating current to direct current. Rectifiers are made in various forms, all operating on the principle that current passes through them freely in one direction but only slightly or not at all in the designed to work in telecom applications ranging from wireless base stations to central offices. In the future, the company will extend its power saving technology across its entire rectifier product line as well as its controllers and systems, and could adapt it to products for IT/data centers, alternative energy generation, industrial and utility markets. "This new product is a bold first step of many as Eltek Valere develops new products that meet the needs of the environment along with the economic demands of our customers," said Greg Fasullo, Eltek Valere chief marketing officer. "This product has reinforced Eltek Valere's technology leadership in the industry, and it has enabled the start of a green revolution in DC power systems." About Eltek Valere Eltek Valere, headquartered in Richardson, TX, was formed from the June 2007 merger of Eltek Energy and Valere Power. It is a $500 million provider of DC power systems to telecommunications and industrial markets worldwide.
