Texas Instruments announced their bq25504 power management integrated circuit for energy harvesting. The boost charger for nano (ultra low) power energy harvesting features circuitry to protect the energy storage element from over voltage and under voltage conditions and to kick-start the system when the battery is deeply discharged. The TI bq25504 IC manages the microwatts [...]
It is hard not to be impressed by Intels stunning financial performance since the 2008 downturn. They are on track to post revenue of $55B this year or 50% higher than 2008 while nVidia and AMD will be flat to less than 10% better. More significantly, earnings will be 3X that of 2008. More significantly, in the past 12 months they have funded a $10.5B CapEx budget, bought back $10B in stock and distributed roughly $4B in dividends. As for the stock: it is right around where it was September 1, 2008. View the full article HERE
Microchannel Heat Sink: Fabrication and Liquid Cooling System for High Heat Flux Integrated Circuits is a book written by Shahi Riaz (Laird Technologies) and Dr. Dereje Agonafer (University of Texas at Arlington). The book illustrates the analytical, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental studies of microchannel heat sink (MHS). It describes the fabrication process of [...]
