Thermal Management and Safety Regulation of Smart Watches
ABSTRACT A smart watch is one of the most popular wearable devices now. Along with battery life and security, thermal safety is the most common concern. We show how to meet the ergonomic standards for users and predict thermal performance in typical scenarios. Thermal simulation software applied at the design stage can provide guidance on the use of heat spreading materials … [Read more...]
