Boyd Corporation
[3M]( and [Boyd Corporation]( — Overheating is a critical concern for next-generation electronic assemblies. The combined effects of device miniaturization, high-powered processors, increased chip density, and bright LEDs has exacerbated the need for effective thermal management for a wide range of products, including battery packs, connected components, data storage systems, display systems, power electronics, automotive electronics, and other electronic assemblies. Thermal interface materials (TIMs) play a vital role in addressing these thermal limitations.

[Automatic commutation of stepper motors](
"Stepper motors are mostly driven in open loop mode. Timing of the step pulses is defined by the controller, the motor is supposed to follow without losing synchronism. Stepper motors are in fact natural positioning devices which do not require position feedback. The drawback of their design are important iron losses when running at high speed."
