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: 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. ...
