The possibility of using intense pulsed light to sinter silver ink deposited on a PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate)) substrate by Inkjet printing is investigated. Variations of pulse length and energy are sequentially applied to the printed structures. Furthermore, the effect of multiple ill...

Reflow soldering is nowadays the most used method of connecting electronic components into product. Soldering itself is done at temperatures between 235°C - 245°C. Effectivnes of heat transfer is a very important part of the process.This temperature is very high for some com...

One of the main parts of the "Smart City" concept is energy sustainability. The increasing number of people in cities increases the consumption of electrical energy. To solve this problem, energy harvesting and conversion devices (EHCDs) are developed. These devices&#...

The paper presents characterization test bench for thermal electric generators (TEG). It is basically a heating island, that is supplied by a constant power and the thermoelectric generators are used to harvest the energy back to the useful load. This test simulates practical appli...
