Tracewell Systems Executive Vice President Selected to Speak at Thermal Management and Technology Symposium
June 15, 2009
COLUMBUS, Ohio-Tracewell Systems announces that Matt Tracewell, executive vice president, has been selected as a featured speaker for the 2009 Thermal Management and Technology Symposium. The two-day conference highlighting the latest advancements in thermal technology for product design, system development and process management, will be held October 20-21 in Denver, Colorado.
Tracewell will be speaking on the subject of "Defense and High-End Commercial OEM Electronics." Attendees will learn about 3U conduction cooling to cold plate, 6U conduction cooling to air and 6U convection cooling. The presentation will include results from three case studies that Tracewell Systems and Mercury Computer are currently preparing for the OpenVPX Working Group.
On January 30, 2009, Mercury Computer Systems initiated the formation of the OpenVPX Industry Working Group, an independent association comprised of both leading defense industry prime contractors and COTS systems developers. As a result, investment of high-profile committee members, who are competitors to "fix" the VPX spec, has set the stage for implementation of the most advanced, highest density and thermally challenging designs. "The OpenVPX Industry Working Group must characterize the limits of possibility for both conduction and convection cooling for the entire class of cards and chassis that package them," said Tracewell. "These characterizations will guide future end applications and card designs." The case studies are in progress and will be complete by early summer 2009.
This symposium will feature presentations on thermal manufacturing technology, materials and research & development. Topics will include new thermal technology as well as the latest market trends affecting the industry. The conference is designed for design engineers, system engineers, process engineers, material scientists and R&D managers with organizations in a variety of industries and markets whose products, operations and services depend upon sophisticated and precise control of thermal properties and states.
