We are entering an era where electronics technology is increasingly being integrated with biological systems in vivo. These technology solutions interact with organs and skeletal-, muscular- and nervous-systems of biological entities through hybridization of disparate solutions that merge to serve a common purpose. Biohybrid systems that interface and thus enable the … [Read more...]
Thermoregulation Comfort Clothing Advance to Product Platforms
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...]
New Convenient Thermal Analysis Conceptual Design Tool Released
Cradle has recently released PICLS V2, which is now simply PICLS (whereas V1 is now called PICLS Lite). PICLS has external file interfaces for IDF 3.0, Gerber wiring data, and drill data import. In addition, parts/components created for a model can be saved in the Library for future shared use. PICLS can also model plate fin and heat dissipation plate heat sinks. In PICLS … [Read more...]
