NASHUA, N.H., 29 May 2007. The ability to manage heat and power, which are key factors in designing with the latest generations of computers and other electronics components, is the subject of an informational Webcast presented by Military & Aerospace Electronics magazine at 3 p.m. eastern time June 5.
Registerfor the Webcast online at www.iian.ibeam.com/events/penn001/22577.
The Webcast, entitled "Keeping it Cool: Managing Thermals and Power," centers on current- and future-generation processors create escalating thermal demands on military designers.
Industry expert James Robles, a senior fellow engineer at the Boeing Co., will look at the latest solutions for improving power efficiency and for cooling chips and boards, as well as thermal issues in aging military platforms. The Webcast is at 3 p.m. Eastern time (2 p.m. Central, 1 p.m. Mountain, and noon Pacific) on Tuesday, June 5.
Presenters during the Webcast include Robles, and Richard Jaenicke, director of technology integration at Mercury Computer Systems in Chelmsford, Mass. Other influential industry speakers will be announced soon.
Sponsors of the Webcast are Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing in Leesburg, Va., Mercury Computer Systems, and Tracewell Systems Inc. in Westerville, Ohio.
Robles's presentation, "Aerospace Thermal Management Challenges and Solutions: A Boeing Perspective," will discuss how the aerospace thermal management challenge is driven by:
1) the user's inexhaustible demand for greater processing capability for Image Exploitation (IE) applications, such as automatic target recognition and moving target engagement, and for fast data communications on aircraft and spacecraft;
2) the move to more electric vehicles to reduce weight and power consumption by eliminating hydraulic actuation systems; and
3) the need for directed-energy weapons.
The third presentation will address trends in directed-energy weapons, as well as selected potential solutions.
Following Robles will be presentations from Richard Jaenicke of Mercury Computer Systems, Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing, and Tracewell Systems.
