  • Method of cooling electronic circuit boards using surface mounted devices
    Patent number: 8730677
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of cooling electronic circuit boards using surface mounted devices (SMD), the method comprising the steps of: after or during the board layout, filling empty spaces V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8, V9, V10 with at a number of heat sink devices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 near a thermal hot spot and connecting the number of heat sink devices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to a thermally conducting path 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35 of the board N, respectively. Further, the invention relates to a heat sink device 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 adapted to implement the method according to the invention.

  • Method and arrangement for measuring a signal power
    Patent number: 8284391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for measuring power for an optical user signal transmitted via an optical fiber by converting the transmitted optical user signal into a pulsed optical measurement signal, the pulse repetition rate of which is dependent on the power of the transmitted optical user signal, and evaluating the pulse repetition rate of the converted optical measurement signal in order to ascertain the power of the optical user signal transmitted via the optical fiber.
