Solid-State Lighting Pushes the Power Envelope Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are making huge strides in efficiency, both in cost ($/lumen) and in thermal terms (W/lumen). Perhaps in the next 10 years, the W/lumen will have decreased sufficiently such that passive convective cooling will be all that’s required to cool high-power LED bulbs, allowing for the lowest-cost [...] . . . → Click to Read More: LED Thermal Requirements Drive Innovation…and Analysis The Quick History – Mesh Networks Don’t Mesh with Internet Protocol (without help, that is) Like most technology platform definitions, when the IEEE 802.15.4-based mesh-network protocols were being hashed out (Zigbee, Z-Wave and others), the list of requirements were long and difficult to implement. Inevitably, some “hard” requirements turned into “nice to have’s”. In the [...] . . . → Click to Read More: Mesh-Network Wireless Protocols Start Meshing with Internet Traffic Wrist Reporter Is a Smash Hit Evergreen Telemetry’s Wrist-Reporter product was featured in the VirtualCX blog, found here. Capture Design was responsible for delivering the enclosure and industrial design of the product, and it appears we came through in spades. Writes the reviewer, “Everything about Evergreen’s efforts comes across as well thought out, including how [...] . . . → Click to Read More: Our Customer’s Product Is Featured in Popular Blog Critical Decisions Enabled by Thermal Analysis How Capture Design Saved Them Money and Time A future-looking optics company, which specializes in delivering very-high-power lasers in small packages, was considering a wide variety of packaging options in order to best achieve bleeding-edge output power for their lasers. Many options had several-hundred-thousand-dollar price-tags attached. They needed to [...] . . . → Click to Read More: Numerical Analysis Allows Optics Company to Converge on a Solution The following is the script of Capture Design’s Introduction Video. “Designing product is more than just drawing something on paper or designing a cool-looking gizmo in CAD. Product development is the combination of an Innovation Process with Engineering AND Manufacturing expertise to arrive at something new and exciting, yet equally reliable, manufacture-able, test-able and ship-able.” [...] . . . → Click to Read More: Capture Product Development and Design Introduction Video (from article in Austin Startup.

Why is low-bandwidth wireless so hot all of a sudden? How can it help my company? The answer is that low-power mesh-networked wireless may be the pathway [...] . . . → Click to Read More: Bringing Wireless Capability To Your Products Prototyping is (Unfortunately) More than Printing Iteration Software folks have the advantage of almost continual prototyping. Okay, it’s a bit of an over-simplification but, grace of a development model in which iterative testing and refinement can be done very cheaply, incredibly complex software can be developed with a relatively small number of people-months. Wouldn’t it [...] . . . → Click to Read More: Prototyping is More Than Printing |
