While very efficient, LEDs produce heat that must be dissipated in lighting designs and retrofits, and this is often a challenge for engineers who do not have an extensive thermal management ...

New consumer technologies such as 3G, WIFI, HDTV and their associated networks are driven by a consumer expectation that their “always on” device must be ready to reliably deliver and/or transmit ...

Ever-increasing levels of heat in today's power electronics necessitate constant efforts to increase heat sink efficiency by expanding the number of extended surfaces (fins) for cooling. Due to the ...

Using PIM for the manufacture of heat sinks instead of extrusion or machining broadens geometry options and creates a dense structure. Figure 1. A plot of thermal conductivity vs. thermal expansion ...
