BACKGROUND In a proposal submitted to the Air Force in November of 1968, Collins Radio Company described ways to improve the electronic industry’s understanding of thermal management and predictive techniques [1]. This article briefly describes that proposal and discusses what aspects of electronics cooling have changed over the past five decades and what things have … [Read more...]
Someday Humans Will “See” The Heat!
Many biological creatures are enabled with the ability to “see” the heat – reptiles, for example, effectively use this ability to detect the size of the heat-emitting object and its range. Other biological entities, including mammals, are enabled with the ability to perceive heat by a process known as Thermoception or Thermoreception. As humans, we are capable of sensing … [Read more...]
Thermal Imaging Camera for Electronics Development and Testing Launched
FLIR Systems, Inc. announced the launch of the FLIR ETS320 thermal imaging solution for electronics testing in engineering benchtop environments. As the first FLIR camera designed specifically for benchtop work in testing and analyzing the thermal characteristics of electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs), the FLIR ETS320 aims to advance testing and diagnosis … [Read more...]
A Brief Overview of Thermal Management in Printed Electronics
Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of articles to appear in Electronics Cooling addressing emerging areas for electronics thermal management. Printed electronics (PE) is one of the key enabling technologies of many electronic products that we take for granted today, not just in functional feasibility but also in cost that seems to be on a continuous downward trend. … [Read more...]
