Abstract:Wearable technology has been rapidly evolving. Many functions beyond current smartphone capabilities must be realized in wearables that are smaller than smartphones. Heat generation due to power consumption may cause both circuit malfunctions and lowtemperature burns. This letter presents thermal design methods to promote heat dissipation of wrist wearables. First, the thermal model to easily obtain each part temperature is described. Next, belt heat dissipation effects are clarified by simulations with the mo… Show more
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.
