It wasn’t until the 1980's when a new material, GaAlAs(gallium aluminum arsenide) was developed, that a rapid growth in the use of LEDs began to occur. GaAlAs technology provided superior performance over previously available LEDs. The brightness was over 10 times greater than standard LEDs due to increased efficiency and multi-layer, heterojunction type structures. The voltage required for operation was lower resulting in a total power savings. The LEDs could also be easily pulsed or multiplexed. This allowed their use in variable message and outdoor signs. LED were also designed into such application as bar code scanners, fiber optic data transmission systems, and medical equipment. Although this was a major breakthrough in LED Technology, there were still significant drawbacks to GaAlAs material. First, it was only available in a red 660nm wavelength. Second, the light output degradation of GaAlAs is greater than that of standard technology. 2, record 7, English, - gallium%20aluminum%20arsenide

The amended Walloon Code on Territorial, Urban and Heritage Planning(Code Walloon de l'Aménagement du territoire, de l'urbanisme et du patrimoine-CWATUP) gives the authorities a new tool which could spell bad news for private property : the right of pre-emption(first refusal). On March 1st 1998, the new version of the CWATUP came into force, with the aim of cutting red tape and streamlining certain procedures. Based on a non-binding regulatory framework, the SDER(Schéma de Développement de l'Espace Régional or Regional Space Development Scheme), which in turn was drawn up in line with the Community-level ESDP..., CWATUP is meant to settle all matters regarding land use, building permission, etc. In order to give the public and State bodies the means to attain their ends, the CWATUP has given them the right of first refusal in case of sale. 1, record 10, English, - regional%20space
