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...]
Upper Air Room Disinfection with UV-C Luminaire – Metrics and Multi-Domain Modeling Approach
In my previous article, I questioned how our simulation community of experts can contribute in this pandemic time? I am coming back to present examples of contributions. While the general topic of this article is outside the typical scope of Electronics Cooling Magazine, it does illustrate how analysis methods that are discussed here, such as computational fluid dynamics, and … [Read more...]
Emerging 5G Networks: Potential Economic Benefits of Two-Phase Thermal Management
The fourth and future industrial revolutions will set new requirements for smart cities / factories, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, smartphones, etc., resulting in more distributed architectures, expanding the convergence of new technologies and developments thus, transforming the term Internet of Things (IoT) to Internet of Everything (IoE). Centralized cloud … [Read more...]
Thermal Quality Assessment of Semiconductor Components
Introduction Reduction in early life failures and continuous quality improvements are “table stakes” for semiconductor manufacturers servicing the automotive industry. “Industry analysts expect that the automotive semiconductor market will be the fastest growing end use market for chips from 2017–21, with a 6.4 percent CAGR and a total market value of between $39-42 billion … [Read more...]
Structure Functions: The Universal Tools for Thermal Design, Testing and Quality Control
Near the end of the 20th century, increasing power levels became the primary challenge in system design, which triggered a complex response from electrical, mechanical and material engineers. The combination of thermal measurements and thermal simulation helped achieve thermally aware system designs. However, no real solution was known for the valid comparison of thermal design … [Read more...]
