Abstract: Next generation sensor systems for automated vehicle navigation are likely to include light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors. Solid-state LiDAR technology that eliminates all mechanically moving parts is expected to ...

Abstract: Design optimization of a three-dimensional (3D) heat flow structure for power electronics gate drive circuit thermal management is described. Optimization methods are described in the creation of several structural concepts ...

Abstract: The heat transfer and hydraulic performance of a flat evaporator, pump-assisted capillary loop cooler is evaluated for a 1cm2 heat source. The cooler consists of a copper manifold that houses a compensation chamber that ...

Abstract: Heterogeneous integration of electronics is critical to the next wave of electronics applications ranging from extremely power dense energy conversion systems to advanced chiplet and copackaged optics architectures for ...

Abstract: A new method for optimizing the layout of device-routing systems is presented. Gradient-based topology optimization techniques are used to simultaneously optimize both device locations and routing paths of device interconnects. ...
