The folks at Cool Innovations have introduced a new line of extremely powerful flared pin fin heat sinks. These little scamps (the heat sinks, not the folks at Cool Innovations) are claimed to provide unparalleled cooling power due to a unique structure that was specifically optimized for natural convection environments.
The new heat sinks feature a rugged array of round pins and are especially suitable for harsh industrial environments and outdoor applications. Flared pin fin heat sinks feature an array of round pins that are slanted outwards.
The sparsely configured staggered pin array and the flared structure combine to produce outstanding cooling power in natural convection. At the same time, the omnidirectional pin configuration ensures that the heat sinks operate efficiently in any orientation.
Flared pin fins are said to offer up to a 30 percent performance premium over traditional pin fin heat sinks, and a substantially larger cooling premium over the majority of other heat sink designs.
Flared pin fin heat sinks are forged from highly thermally conductive aluminum alloys. They are available in a wide variety of square, rectangular and round configurations, ranging in footprint from 1.0" x 1.0" to 5.0" x 5.0", and in height from 0.7" to 2.0".
The new heat sinks are a great fit for emerging green technologies such as solar cells and advanced LED lighting, as well as any other applications and devices operating in natural convection environments.

The economy stinks. Rank-and-file engineers are feeling the pain. What about technology CEOs? We crunched the numbers buried in corporate financial statements to find out. Here's what we found.
10 companies in trouble (revisited):
What follows is an updated version of 10 companies in trouble. Some companies have been removed since the last version, others remain. Still others have been added to the mix.
Early predictions for 2010:
The electronics industry is recovering, but there is still some uncertainty in the market. Some see a boom year in 2010. Some see a double dip. So what's in store for the rest of this year and 2010?
Top 10 IC vendors with cash:
The world's biggest IC companies by revenue rank not only among the best in their respective industry segments but are also more likely to have huge piles of cash that can be used to fund acquisitions, R&D and product development.
Notable women in microelectronics:
There is no better time than a global economic recession to examine the keys to successful corporate governance. So, EE Times has compiled an international list that celebrates women who are business and technology leaders in semis.
EE Times updates Silicon 60:
