The Enhancement of Heat Transfer in Micro-Chips by MEMS actuator: Parametric Study. This challenging project has the potential of introducing a new technology for cooling micro-devices. Since the computer industry is sensitive to innovation it is necessary to develop the theoretical and practical skill for manufacturing the cooling devices. This will help Australian industry to greatly enhance its capabilities in this very important area of economy.

This challenging project has the potential of introducing a new technology for cooling micro-devices. Since the computer industry is sensitive to innovation it is necessary to develop the theoretical and practical skill for manufacturing the cooling devices. This will help Australian industry to greatly enhance its capabilities in this very important area of economy. The present project is a rare combination of multi-disciplinary studies and will result in a better understanding of the complex thermal and fluid flow phenomena in micro channels, and the design and fabrication techniques for the next generation of micro-chips.

Hardware Implementation Strategies for JPEG 2000. JPEG2000 is a new image compression standard, which is expected to become the dominant format for image communications over the internet and then make inroads into consumer peripheral devices, including digital cameras, printers and scanners. The standard is fundamentally different from and much more complex than its well-known predecessor, JPEG, and there are currently no published hardware implementations. The aim of this project is to investig ....Hardware Implementation Strategies for JPEG 2000. JPEG2000 is a new image compression standard, which is expected to become the dominant format for image communications over the internet and then make inroads into consumer peripheral devices, including digital cameras, printers and scanners. The standard is fundamentally different from and much more complex than its well-known predecessor, JPEG, and there are currently no published hardware implementations. The aim of this project is to investigate a wide range of potential implementation strategies to identify those which are able to minimize the consumption of various resources, including memory consumption, memory bandwidth, chip area and processing latency.Read moreRead less
The Enhancement of heat transfer in microchannels by microelectomechanical devices. A perennial and extremely important problem in computer chip technology is the provision of adequate cooling. This project is a rare combination of multi-disciplinary activities which will lead to new knowledge in a number of poorly explored areas in heat transfer, whilst at the same time permitting the development of the necessary theoretical and practical fabrication skills for the manufacture of a realistic c ....The Enhancement of heat transfer in microchannels by microelectomechanical devices. A perennial and extremely important problem in computer chip technology is the provision of adequate cooling. This project is a rare combination of multi-disciplinary activities which will lead to new knowledge in a number of poorly explored areas in heat transfer, whilst at the same time permitting the development of the necessary theoretical and practical fabrication skills for the manufacture of a realistic cooling micro devices. The main goal of this project is therefore to design, manufacture and test a very efficient micro-channel cooling device equipped with a micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) synthetic jet generator.Read moreRead less
