Thermal Management and Safety Regulation of Smart Watches
ABSTRACT A smartwatch 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 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 and … [Read more...]
On-site Cogeneration for Reducing Data Center Primary Energy Use
As most readers are aware, the data center industry has put an increased focus on energy efficiency and environmental impact. Data centers in the United States are estimated to consume nearly 2% of the total electricity. The de facto metric used in the data center industry to evaluate energy efficiency has been the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), as defined by The Green Grid … [Read more...]
Advanced SAM Validates Integrity of Diffusion Bonds
For bond quality testing, Scanning Acoustic Microscopy offers far greater accuracy and reliability than traditional helium leak testing Introduction Industries with demanding metal bonding applications are increasingly relying on diffusion bonding, an essential joining method for achieving a high-purity interface between two similar or even dissimilar metals. The process … [Read more...]
