Printed Electronic Systems: the Confluence of Printing and Semiconductors

Written by on · 2 Comments

Speaker/Performer: Vivek Subramanian, Professor, UC Berkeley Sponsor: CITRIS (Ctr for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society), UC Berkeley (Headquarters), i4Energy seminar Abstract: In recent years, there has been significant interest in the applications of printed electronics for the realization of flexible displays, fully-printed RFID tags and embedded sensors. Printing of active circuitry is expected to enable a dramatic reduction in the overall cost of these systems, allowing for integration of electronic barcodes and product quality detection systems into consumer goods, as well as ushering in an era of low cost flexible displays and content delivery appliances. Printing techniques that have been considered range from high-speed commercial gravure printing through ultra-scaled inkjet printing. While many of the printing techniques under consideration have evolved from techniques already widely deployed in graphic arts applications, the requirements for printed electronics are in many ways dramatically different from those that exist for conventional graphic arts. In this talk, I will review the tremendous progress that has occurred in printed electronics over the last decade, and will discuss the challenges that remain. I will discuss the challenges associated with utilizing printing to realize printed semiconductor-based circuits. Additionally, I will overview the state of the art in printed electronic materials. I will review our work on …

EBTEC Achieves General Electric Air Flow Approval











Laser Drilling


Agawam, Ma (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

EBTEC Corporation has announced it has been recently approved by General Electric for Airflow Testing per Specification E50TF217. EBTEC joins only three other high energy beam service providers with this successful approval to the GE Airflow Specification – E50TF217.

Manufacturing components that contain many small diameter holes in aerospace materials can be a cumbersome and time-consuming task. Measuring and inspecting these holes can be even more cumbersome. Complex aerospace and ground-based turbine engines rely on special types of materials with small hole sizes, and hole population densities. Aerospace turbine engine products range from simple round parts with hundreds and often thousands of holes, to complex 5-axis geometries with small holes, or simple 2-axis flat sheet geometries with small holes, EBTEC provides an efficient, cost-effective solution to the hole drilling predicament with laser drilling services.

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) for aircraft and ground-based turbine engines have encountered this drilling and inspection problem. They have embraced laser drilling, and have created specific air flow inspection processes to accommodate. These inspection processes define a specific airflow for each part that has high populations of small holes, or is in the turbine engine’s airflow path. The airflow inspection method provides inspection feedback to the drilling process which facilitates the control of the hole sizes. Highly-controlled and targeted airflow parameters allow the turbine engines to operate at defined design efficiencies, as well as maintain operational temperatures at each of the specific components of the engines.

The specifics of the airflow process are complex but simply may be defined as the “measurement of the difference in air pressure at the inlet side of an engine component and the exit side of the component”. At a specified air pressure, the Delta “P” (change in pressure) from inlet to exit, allows the calculation of the amount of air flowing through the component. Other measurable attributes such as temperature, humidity, barometric pressure are accounted for in mathematical calculations allowing for an extremely precise measurement of airflow through a component.

“At EBTEC Corporation, we have been performing airflow testing for almost as long as we have been providing laser drilling and laser cutting services,” said EBTEC Vice President Mark Hauser, “These airflow testing processes have matured along with the development of laser systems as machine tools. Maintaining cutting edge technology has been a core objective at EBTEC Corporation over the years. We have invested in capital equipment, and will continue to invest, as technologies for laser machine tools, laser technologies, and airflow technologies mature – this new approval allows us to provide additional capabilities to our valued customers”, Hauser said.    EBTEC supports 16 industrial lasers for laser drilling, laser cutting, and laser welding.

G4S Technology LLC Selected by Iberdrola USA, Part of the World’s Fifth Largest Energy Company, to Provide Security Upgrades and Ongoing Services











G4S


Omaha, NE (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

G4S Technology LLC (formerly Adesta) a systems integrator and project management company for communication networks and electronic security systems, has been selected by Iberdrola USA (IUSA) to help them upgrade existing Access Control Systems (ACS) and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) systems. IUSA, a subsidiary of global energy company Iberdrola S.A., plans to create a single centrally-monitored and administered electronic ACS and Video Management System (VMS) across their New York and Maine service territories. Iberdrola S.A. has a long-term security plan to develop a global standards-based platform for ACS and other security platforms including CCTV and Intrusion Detection.

This project is a 2-year deployment which began in late 2011. Facilities to receive upgrades include electrical substations, hydroelectric stations, and service centers. The project will require the replacement of access control panels at the Iberdrola USA facilities, replacement of existing cameras with thermal cameras, replacement of existing ACS systems with AMAG Symmetry, replacement of existing analytics and VMS, an upgrade of their Security Operations Center (SOC), new security equipment racks, integration, installation and project management.

“Through our value-added engineering, G4S Technology LLC has been able to provide Iberdrola USA with a comprehensive analytic solution and an enhanced thermal design that will help serve their needs both today and for many years to come,” said Bob Sommerfeld, President of G4S Technology. “We are honored to be working with this prestigious energy company, and look forward to helping them realize their goals.”

“G4S Technology was selected after a thorough proposal and evaluation process,” said Dave Lathrop, Manager – Security Technical Services. “We were very impressed with their response to our request for proposal. Their experience was noted as they provided significant value engineering to the design. Iberdrola USA is confident that G4S Technology has the ability to complete the project on-time and within budget.”
