Cooling technologies for computer.

Advanced Cooling Technologies for Microprocessors

Recent trends in processor power for the next generation devices point clearly to significant increase in processor heat dissipation over the coming years. In the desktop system design space, the tendency has been to minimize system enclosure size while maximizing performance, which in turn leads to high power densities in future generation systems. The current thermal solutions used today cons...

Technologies for Cooling of Large Distributed Loads

In future space applications, large and distributed loads will require active thermal control if their lifetimes are to be extended beyond one or two years. Examples include Zero Boil-Off (ZBO) cryogenic systems for exploration missions, and cooling of widely distributed sensor arrays and large deployable structures, such as mirrors and sunshades, for space science missions. These applications ...

Microscale Pumping Technologies for Microchannel Cooling Systems

A review of the state of the art in micropumping technologies for driving fluid through micro-channels is presented with a particular emphasis on small-scale cooling applications. An extensive variety of micropumping techniques developed over the past fifteen years in the literature is reviewed. The physical principles, engineering limitations, and advantages of approximately twenty different k...

Computer vision for assistive technologies

In the last decades there has been a tremendous increase in demand for Assistive Technologies (AT) useful to overcome functional limitations of individuals and to improve their quality of life. As a consequence, different research papers addressing the development of assistive technologies have appeared into the literature pushing the need to organize and categorize them taking into account the...
