Overview Over many decades, Boyd has led innovation of superior heat pipe and two-phase thermal management solutions across many major industries from mobile and consumer electronics to NASA applications and next-generation enterprise and 5G equipment. We’ve observed many misconceptions about heat pipes, how they work, and how to best utilize them in applications while working … [Read more...]
Blue Laser Welding Increases Vapor Chamber Fabrication Efficiency
We all understand that higher circuit density and increasingly compact microelectronic devices have created a need for more efficient cooling. Vapor chambers have emerged as a widely employed solution in some of the most demanding microelectronics applications. They are already found in high-performance computers, such as servers, workstations, and personal gaming desktops and … [Read more...]
Summary of the IEEE ITherm 2023 Conference
The IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm) was held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes, Orlando, FL, May 30 – June 2, 2023. This was the 22nd ITherm, which was first held in 1988. The conference was historically held every other year until 2016 when it switched to an annual schedule. ITherm 2023 was sponsored by the … [Read more...]
Statistics Corner: Weibull Distribution
A little over a pandemic ago, the first article in this series on statistical analysis mentioned that a fundamental aspect of statistics is that one assumes a mathematical model that describes the distribution of a data set and then uses that model to estimate the probability that a given value or set of values will occur [1]. This allows us, for example, to estimate whether … [Read more...]
Future Trends in LED Driver System Modeling
Introduction A decade ago, the major players in the lighting industry decided to make the transition to digital systems and set the pace in connected lighting. At present, only a few companies can maintain their leadership. As a self-fulfilling prophecy, the lighting landscape changed remarkably, with scattered competitors having access to internet of things (IoT) ecosystems … [Read more...]
