Thermal challenges in medical diagnostic equipment such as EKG machines, defibrillators, telemetry, ultrasound and other products present both similar challenges to other electronics as well as their unique set of needs due to their importance in people’s lives. This free vertical webinar will focus on the specific needs that medical diagnostic equipment requires.

Another great webinar is coming up on how to design a heat sink. This time it’s sponsored by Mentor Graphics and taught by Dr. John Parry. Entitled, “Heat Sink 201 – Even More About Heatsink Design” You can register to attend either on 5/19 or on 5/20 at 11AM.
Mentor provides a description of their course:
In this webinar we will discuss how manufacturer’s data is obtained, and why this may not be applicable for use in design by showing a simple example of how a heatsink interacts locally with the surrounding airflow.
We will illustrate why heatsinks are not as simple to use as they first appear, and why they should be designed for a particular application. We will also talk more about the myths surrounding heatsinks and their application, and give some practical advice concerning heatsink design and attachment. The presentation will conclude by looking at different optimization strategies for heatsink design.
At ATS we couldn’t agree more. This is a terrific topic. As we’ve noted in past posts here, such as our post, “The Fallacy of the Drop-In Replacement Heat Sink” a heat sink is not necessarily a heat sink. And the published data isn’t always accurate.
There are a number of vectors of influence in heat sink design and application. For example, the TIM (thermal interface material) and attachment method can have dramatic effects on the thermal efficiency. In our testing here in ATS’s Thermal Labs, we’ve found that a simple straight fin heat sink can have a significantly better thermal performance when a proper attachment method and phase change material TIM are used.

ATS Announces Free Webinar: Analytical, Computational and Experimental Thermal Analysis of a xTCA Chassis on Thursday, May 27, 2010 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT
ATCA and MicroTCA are chassis standards geared to getting systems from telecomm, computing, military, medical and other companies to market faster and with lower cost. While the form factor, modularity and price point are attractive, thermal challenges can be magnified with the small form factors and interoperability challenges of a standard architecture. Attendees will be equipped with advanced, fast and accurate thermal design techniques that will help them efficiently use modeling and testing tools to determine device junction temperatures and speed time-to-market.

Analytical, Computational and Experimental Thermal Analysis of a xTCA Chassis
As heat dissipation needs for electronic devices grow rapidly, choosing the right heat sink the first time is essential. With so many application requirements and heat sink options, this can be a daunting task. In this webinar, attendees will learn about the importance of system airflow and its impact on heat sink design; attachment methods and how to solve design challenges thermally and mechanically; and how to make the right custom or off-the-shelf heat sink choice for your application and budget.
