Enabling Technology

Enabling Technology It began innocently enough some years ago when I joined the Celsius Society. Like other professional organizations, it had dues, a newsletter, and chapter meetings on topics like, ?Liquid Crystal Thermography: Colorful Gimmick or Diagnostic Dead End?? Then came the tap on the shoulder and the whispered invitation to become a Premium Member. ?It wouldn?t be the Celsius Society if we didn?t... details>>

Dr. Garimella to Deliver the Keynote at coolingZONE Summit 2009

Dr. Garimella to Deliver the Keynote at coolingZONE Summit 2009 From health care to education to security, almost every aspect of life has benefited from the Silicon Revolution. Integrated circuits serve as the ?brains? of nearly all engineered entities that require rapid acquisition, transfer, and interpretation of information. The continued evolution of electronics for the 21st Century, however, requires a fundamental shift in perspective, coupled with... details>>

Fluid Flow Simulation Helps Overcome Tough Telecom Thermal Design Challenge

Fluid Flow Simulation Helps Overcome Tough Telecom Thermal Design Challenge Elma Electronic used FloTHERM thermal simulation software from the Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division (formerly Flomerics) to optimize the design of a new Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) platform that is designed to dissipate up to 300 watts in each of its 14 slots. details>>

Using Simulation to Improve Data Center Efficiency

Using Simulation to Improve Data Center Efficiency Modern IT equipment with high power dissipation and powerful internal cooling fans are a primary cause of cooling and efficiency pr oblems in today’s mis sion critical facility. These problems appear when high- velocity, high-temperature exhaust air from IT equipment flows unintentionally into the inlets of surrounding equipment despite measures taken to prevent such occurrences. The... details>>
