Electronics Cooling’s previous coverage of thermoregulation fabrics is further augmented by a very encouraging trend seen at the recent Wearables USA Conference held last week in Silicon Valley, CA. More than half a dozen companies showcased product design platforms that enable OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), ODMs (original device manufacturers), and makers alike to … [Read more...]
Cooling Technology Enables Fashion-Tech Wearable Products
In one of our previous blogs on Electronics Cooling of Humans, we highlighted some of the on-going research projects at various universities in the US sponsored by ARPA-E. These projects are expected to achieve a step-change in the cooling technology of wearable fabrics and the costs of manufacturing them. It is worth noting that prior to the effort sponsored by ARPA-E, thermal … [Read more...]
