Our findings suggest that CO(2) laser myringotomy is a useful treatment modality for OME in children and adults, except for children with multiple occurrences and in adults with mucoid effusions and a history of ventilation tube use.
The thermal issues of Chip-On-Film (COF) packages are becoming increasingly important for high-pin count chips, whose performance is becoming increasingly limited by the maximum power that can be spread without exceeding the maximum junction temperature. This study conducts a numerical investigation to investigate the relationship between power dissipation and the surface temperature of the thermal chip in COF applications. This study develops an ANSYS finite element (FE) model to simulate the junction temperature and temperature distribution within the COF package under various boundary conditions. Based on an effective methodology of equivalent models for thermal conductance, comparing the simulation results with the reference reviewing confirms the validity of the numerical model. Several parametric studies reveal the effects of various configurations of the thermal model. This study also analyzes the thermal resistance at the junction of the package. Results show that the natural convection of the COF package with thermally conductive tape (TCT) achieves a cooling function that keeps the junction temperature of the COF package under 85℃ without using a fan. The FE models in this study have enormous potential to quickly assess the thermal limits of many future COF packages and their variations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
