(July 18, 2016) A 3D printed smartphone case that may better support and cool smartphones has recently been designed and prototype printed. Made to look like a real life Pokédex, SparkFun user NPOOLE created the battery pack with the intention of helping Pokemon Go players play for longer amounts of time. The case fits a Samsung Galaxy S4 and “hides a 2,600 mAh battery pack” … [Read more...]
Cooling Fans Used for Computer Hacking
(June 24, 2016) Researchers in Israel have recently created malware call Fansmitter and hijacked computer fans to transmit data. According to PCWorld.com, “The research from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev shows how data could be stolen from “air-gapped” computers, which are not connected to the Internet” by manipulating the sounds fans create. Fansmitter can secretly send … [Read more...]
High Temperature Analogue and Mixed Signal Electronics May Become Silicon Carbide-Based
(May 24, 2016) Recently, SiC (Silicon carbide) has been recognized as a material that can be “used for small signal electronics – such as analogue and mixed-signal devices – making possible the locating of monitoring and control circuitry much closer to heat sources” in the electronics industry, according to NewElectronics.co.uk. “Research groups have been exploring various … [Read more...]
New Speed Controllers for Fans to Reduce Energy Consumption
Orion Fans has recently developed a low-cost dual channel phase control unit to control fan speed for single or multiple fan assemblies, series OA11/22. It is field adjustable, with the ability to precisely control fan noise, speed, and air delivery according to application requirements. It also comes with four factory presets that allow for maximum flexibility with minimum … [Read more...]
Researchers May Have Solved the Problem of Thermal Resistance for ICs
(May 18, 2016) Researchers at Lockheed Martin are further exploring the idea of microspraying hot integrated circuits (ICs) to cool their thermal resistance problem. EETimes.com reported, “The efforts are focused on gallium-nitride (GaN) power amplifiers and associated monolithic microwave ICs (MMICs) which are increasingly used in RF designs. GaN offer many operating … [Read more...]
