Electronic Design UPDATE edited by Richard Gawel, Managing Editor
Effective thermal management must be employed at the system level as well as at the component level. The system may employ good circuit design practices and reliable components, but system reliability will suffer if appropriate temperature controls aren't properly implemented. Available devices, techniques, and software that provide thermal management at the system level include fans, liquid cooling, thermally enhanced circuit boards, and thermal analysis software.

It doesn't matter if you're a weekend hacker or a pro on the tour. First, mount a 32-bit processor on the back of a standard pitching wedge along with a circuit board and an XYZ accelerometer. Combine that with a gyroscope on the shaft of the club and a laptop running a program based on LabVIEW technology, and you can get feedback on your golf swing in real time.
