What is Right to Repair and How Will it Affect Product Design?

Recently, the European Union (EU) passed right to repair legislation for major appliances, including washing machines, refrigerators, lighting and dishwashers. This means that starting in 2021, businesses in the EU who sell these products must: Make them easily repairable with common tools Provide spare parts for up to 10 years after the last unit is sold There […]
The Remarkable HMIs of Futuristic Cockpit Designs

To get an idea of what futuristic cockpit designs will look like, just take a peek at the digital dashboards of today’s most advanced automobiles. In place of the physical dials, gauges and push buttons there are sleek video screens that display more information than previously possible. Speed in miles- or kilometers-per-hour might be displayed […]
Thermal Management Systems: How Hot Is Too Hot?

Heat management remains a critical requirement for electronics, especially in: Power generation Electrification Wireless 5G technologies Thermal management solutions are successful when they pull heat away from sensitive and/or heat producing components. The best of these systems leverages the optimum heat transfer method — be it conduction, convection and/or radiation. A heatsink on a central […]

You Don’t Have To Be A Software Expert To Model Multiphase Flow

Multiphase flow consists of the movement of two or more phases in different thermodynamic states (such as mixtures of gases, liquids and/or solids). These phases can be different versions of the same chemical composition (water and steam in a pipe) or phases of multiple chemical compositions (water and air in a straw). Several types of […]
