The Heart of Your System: The Fan
variations and function-specific components in a computer, but these are common to all and must be taken into consideration when designing a cooling system. The CPU is normally the most heat-generating and temperature-sensitive device in the system. Microprocessor designs are characterized by rapid evolution...

Tomorrow's computers
. The latest SGI compute servers, Origin and Onyx 3000 Series, are made with bricks, the company's term for component building blocks. For example, an R-brick is a router interconnect, a C-brick is a CPU module, and an I-brick is a base I/O module. Other bricks hold PCI expansion slots, I/O additions...

Infrared Thermometers Tutorial
The Royal Astronomer Sir William Herschel discovered "Dark Heat" radiation in 1800. In 1880 the term "infrared" was coined. Samuel Langley invented the bolometer that measures variations of resistance when heated. In 1901 a bolometer could detect a cow at 400 meters. After World War II, many...

Nuts to you -- I/O System Smooths The Move To Ethernet Controls For Walnut Dryers
equipment such as grain dryers that remove moisture from stored commodities so they don't rot or mold. The controls for these devices are characterized by a handful of distributed I/O points of modest density handling such items as blower motors, moisture-sensors, heat exchangers, and so forth. Optomux I...

Cameras at work
. Infrared cameras typically handle heat-mapping applications but also work well when ambient light may vary widely and analysis is sensitive to the change. Though designed for visible spectrum light, many CCDbased cameras also work in the infrared spectrum. The selection of imaging sensor or imager...
