UQM Technologies Announces Selection to Boeing FCS Team

Power Channels: Automotive Electronics

UQM Technologies Inc. (Golden, CO) announced that it will participate in the Future Combat Systems (FCS) program as a member of a team led by The Boeing Co. (Seattle, WA). The $23.3 million cost-share contract provides for funding of $10.0 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the US Army, and a cost-share contribution of $13.3 million from team members. UQM Technologies is participating as the team resource for power systems technologies and products for electric and hybrid-electric propulsion and associated vehicle-integration technology.

"We are extremely pleased to be a member of the Boeing team on this important military program to develop the military vehicles and mobility systems for the future. We believe our power system and inverter technologies will play an important role in enabling the tactical vehicles and systems envisioned in this program," said William G. Rankin, UQM Technologies president and CEO. "This additional defense program will likely lead to higher performing, lower fuel consuming and cleaner military vehicles."

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules

Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure

Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
