. The conference grows continually: in 2014 292 engineers and scientists attended the conference, 24% more than 2012.
CIPS focuses on the following main aspects:
*
electronic packaging technologies
* hybrid systems and high
Power density
Power density is the amount of power (time rate of energy transfer) per unit volume.
In energy transformers including batteries, fuel cells, motors, power supply units etc., power density refers to a volume, where it is often called volume ...
integration
* reliability of systems and components
*
mechatronic
Mechatronics engineering also called mechatronics, is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the integration of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering systems, and also includes a combination of robotics, electronics, ...
