Recent advances in CMOS sensor technology have made these sensors practical and effective for use in a wide range of imaging applications found in autonomous systems, machine vision and learning, high-end scientific cameras and more. To maintain image resolution as temperatures increase, Laird Thermal Systems has expanded its Peltier thermoelectric module product family with … [Read more...]
Managing Cooling Fan Noise In Product Design
ABSTRACTCooling fan noise is a system property determined as much by thermal and mechanical design and fan selection as by a fan’s acoustical design. While even the quietest fan can be used in a noisy manner, a significant fraction of unpleasant surprises can be avoided.NOMENCLATUREC Numerical constantD … [Read more...]
