This paper describes a new two-phase cooling heat transfer cell based on a submerged vibration-induced bubble ejection process in which small vapor bubbles attached to a solid surface are dislodged and propelled into the cooler bulk liquid. This ejection technique involves forcibly removing the attached vapor bubbles with...
The design of AC/DC power supplies is inevitably evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. It develops largely as a result of gradual improvements in semiconductors and passive component technologies and materials. Invariably, power supply design objectives involve not only meeting basic input and output specifications...
A Heat Sink’s thermal rating can be effectively improved by increasing air flow over its exposed surface area.
Closed extrusion profiles or so called “chimney” designs can arguably improve convection air flow verses “open” profiles by virtue of increased convection air velocity...
As factory automation systems become more intelligent they will move data acquisition, storage and processing out to the edge of the network, enabling real-time machine controls and management. Factories will be smarter and more connected. These “edge nodes” will predict, then prevent failures before they occur...
With the digital expansion over the past few decades, new requirements for data centers to store, transmit, and manage data of all sorts are reaching a critical level.
In this article, GE power discusses the path to improving efficiency as it applies to AC-DC power supplies (AC-DC front ends) within server equipment....
Optical image stabilization (OIS) addresses the quality of images, and is an idea that has been around for at least 30 years. It has only recently made its way into the low-cost consumer camera market, and will soon be migrating to the higher end camera phones. This paper provides an overview of common design practices...
Adding security to a device costs extra money, time, power consumption and makes everything worse. The only reason for adding security to a device is the need to improve marketing – security components help to sell more products. To participate in the evolution of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things and cloud technologies...

Solid State Relays generate thermal energy during their on state conduction at approximately the rate of 1.0 to 1.5 watts per ampere of load current depending upon their design.
For reliable operation of the Solid State Relay, this energy must be dissipated into the surrounding air in order to maintain a safe operating...
The PFE1100-12-054NA is a 1U form factor, 54 mm wide power supply capable of 1100 watts at high line and de-rates in a low line condition.
This is an AC to DC power-factor-corrected (PFC) power supply that converts standard AC mains power into a main output of 12 VDC for powering intermediate bus architectures,...
Most organizations do not consider production test a top priority, but it is a necessity to prevent major quality issues in the products that represent the company brand in the hands of customers.
The costs, however, can be significant and are often greatly misunderstood, especially when there’s no easy way...

Though they seem like minor components on a smartphone, automotive dashboard or other consumer electronic device, tactile switches have the ability to influence perceptions of quality. True or not, a bad switch equals a bad device in the minds of many consumers.
So selecting the right switch really can be crucial...
Albert Einstein said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Whether in architectural design, software coding, engineering discipline or even managing people, simplicity is an overriding goal and success is achieved when a product or process is at its maximum simplicity.
Electronic...
