| Tools for Enabling Thermal Interoperability on ATCA platform |
| Thermal Interoperability is defined as the ability for a compliant Shelf to adequately cool a compliant Blade. To achieve this, it is necessary to match the thermal and airflow characteristics of Shelf Slots and Blades. An ATCA Shelf has the responsibility of providing a minimum airflow and pressure performance in each Slot. A compatible Blade is required to utilize available Shelf airflow effectively for cooling devices mounted on the blade. |

| VBA Based Profiling Tool for JBOD Enclosure System Thermal Characterization |
 In the advent of any storage enclosure development program the thermal architect/engineer will embark on sizing studies to establish the achievable cooling solutions and respective boundaries based on power, form factor, drive type/protocol, and other relevant packaging related criteria. |

 FLOMERICS FURTHER ENHANCES PRODUCTIVITY OF THERMAL DESIGN ENGINEERS WITH FLOPACK VERSION 6.2
Flomerics has further enhanced the productivity of Thermal Design Engineers with the launch of Flopack V6.2 (www.flopack.com) - the latest version of its web-based SmartPart library that generates fast, accurate thermal models for IC packages and associated parts.
 NEW FLOVENT DIFFUSER “SMARTPARTS” IMPROVE AIRFLOW SIMULATION IN BUILDINGS
Flomerics has announced the availability of six new “SmartParts” for its Flovent software that save time and improve accuracy in simulating the performance of diffusers. In the past, modeling diffusers has required detailed information from manufacturers about physical tests, building a room model to simulate the tests, and adjusting the model to match the test results. The new SmartParts models, on the other hand, can simply be dropped into a Flovent model and require only commonly available data for the diffuser such as outside dimensions, flow rate and temperature data.
 THERMAL SIMULATION HELPS COOL AIRCRAFT ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AT 50,000 FEET
Hybricon Inc. was given the challenge by a defense contractor customer of cooling an ATR form-factor chassis that dissipates almost 200 watts and operates at altitudes up to 50,000 feet. They used thermal simulation to evaluate a wide range of possible design configurations, focusing on heat sink design and fan performance at high altitudes. The simulation helped identify several alternative designs that would meet the customer’s demanding requirements.

 ABERDEEN GROUP SURVEY SHOWS FLOMERICS’ CUSTOMERS GET PRODUCTS TO MARKET FASTER AND WITH FEWER RESPINS
An independent survey by the Aberdeen Group found that users of Flomerics’ thermal analysis software complete thermal design verification three times faster and have over 40% fewer re-spins on average per printed circuit board (PCB) design than non-users.
 THALES USES EMC SIMULATION TO REDUCE TESTING COSTS
THALES Technical Unit Control and Display Systems (CDS) uses electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) simulation to reduce testing costs on each new cockpit instrument. EMC is a major design challenge in cockpit instruments because they have a clear face which makes them difficult to shield. FLO/EMC electromagnetic simulation software from Flomerics enables THALES engineers to evaluate its products’ radiated emissions and susceptibility during the early design stages. This eliminates the need for late-stage design changes which in turn saves money by avoiding the need for modification of prototypes and additional testing.
 LYTRON AWARDED FUTURE COMBAT SYSTEMS CONTRACT FOR PROPULSION HEAT EXCHANGER PACKS
Lytron recently announced that General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) has awarded Lytron the design and development contract for the U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS) Manned Ground Vehicle (MGV) Propulsion Heat Exchanger Packs (PHEP).
 COMPLIMENTARY LIQUID COOLING BREAKFAST SEMINAR IN ORLANDO
Lytron is sponsoring a complimentary liquid cooling breakfast seminar on Thursday, June 7th in Orlando, Florida from 7-10AM. The Lytron seminar will provide an introduction to liquid cooling and will be geared towards engineers, scientists, and managers.
