They needed power, so They came To us.

The worlds most demanding environments demand Acopian power systems.
at project Icecube, its absolutely critical to have a good power supply. The ice must be as pure and clear as possible. If the power to the ice top sensor system were to fail, we would risk the tank water freezing without being controlled, resulting in bubbles and impurities, and very much reducing the quality of ice and quality of information that we can see with our detectors. we chose acopian power supplies to power our pumping and degassing systems because of their reputation for reliability. The people at Acopian met all of our highly demanding specifications and, despite very little time until our window to ship to the Pole, they met our schedule. we were 100% satisfied.

For Immediate Release

Third International Workshop on Power Supply on Chip

Palace Hotel San Francisco, CA, USA. November 16th to 18th, 2012 http://powersoc2012.org/

The 3rd International Workshop on Power Supply on Chip (PowerSoC2012) will be held at the Palace Hotel San Francisco on November 16-18, 2012, the weekend before Thanksgiving. The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) and IEEE Power Electronics Society (IEEE PELS) are jointly sponsoring this workshop. Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork, Ireland has hosted two predecessor workshops in 2008 and 2010. The workshop will focus on the integration of electrical power converters for multiple applications, and address a broad range of technologies. The complete integration on-die and integration within package are of prime interest. System performance requirements demanded by present day and emerging applications require ever greater granularity in voltage and control, form factor reduction, efficiency, and cost reduction. A major challenge on the path to integration and form factor reduction of dc-dc converters is the difficulty of integrating the energy handling passive components utilizing conventional silicon processes. The focal topics for this workshop are the strategies for addressing circuit and system approaches as well as advanced technologies for the design and manufacture of these passives. Dr. Cian Mathna, who has been researching and promoting magnetics on silicon technology for more than a decade, presented a perspective on the recent growth of interest in the PwrSoC space Over the last two years, we are seeing a significant increase in state and commercial investment. A number of market studies have appeared and both the U.S. ARPA-E and the EU Framework 7 program have made significant investment in PwrSoC research partnerships between academia and industry. The General Chair for the workshop is UC Berkeley Prof. Seth Sanders, one of the pioneers of Power Supply on Chip technology dating back to the mid-1990s. In welcoming the opportunity to host the workshop in San Franscisco, he stated that this workshop will address the broader context of PwrSoC as well as addressing the concept of board mounted dc-dc converters that replace linear regulators in terms of size and cost but with much higher efficiency. The workshop will place particular emphasis on the concept of granular power delivery for large system on chip platforms, such as microprocessors, microcontrollers and DSP chips, where multiple independent power rails enhance system performance. PowerSoC 12 is the only international technical workshop dedicated to advancing these important leading-edge power conversion technologies.

Invitation to Speakers for Professional Education Seminars IEEE PELS

The IEEE Power Electronics Society is pursuing two initiatives in the area of professional education. Applications are sought for potential instructors. Applicants will be considered on a rolling basis. The first initiative is a database of qualified instructors. Many organized IEEE events have a need for professional education seminars, ranging from major conferences (such as APEC and ECCE) down to section-level events. Also, there may be companies who are looking for qualified instructors for internal training courses. This database will list instructors who have given seminars at major IEEE events and are willing to participate in smaller events. It will not replace any existing calls for participation. PELS will serve only as a clearinghouse for contact information. All further details will be negotiated between the instructor and event organizer. The second initiative is an online education service. Highly qualified instructors will be asked to offer online versions of their seminars or short courses, both for live participation and for later viewing. Financial considerations will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. If you are interested in participating in either initiative, please fill out the form located at https://spreadsheets. google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEg2cXNMYlM3QlJTYkp1bVFMMHpKR2c6MQ. At this time, instructors must have given their course at a conference sponsored or co-sponsored by PELS within the past two years.
