The present invention is directed to liquid-cooled or air-cooled metallic heat sinks formed as unibody structures that include a planar base and upright fins. The fins are located on one side of the heat sink and the ratio of fin spacing to fin height is low. In order to achieve low value of the ratio of fin spacing to fin height, a fin density of greater than about twelve fins per centimeter is employed. The length of the fins in the flow direction is restricted in order to yield high rate of heat dissipation from the finned surface. Furthermore, flow of the cooling fluid over the fins is maintained laminar in order to reduce the noise level and pumping power for the fluid.

The present invention is directed to heat sinks primarily for use in dissipating waste heat generated by electronics such as power modules, transistors, microprocessor components and assemblies, and especially computer chips. These heat sinks, comprising a planar base and upright fins, provide high heat transfer from concentrated heat sources using a cooling fluid flowing through the heat sink under laminar flow conditions. The fins are located on one side of the base plate and are arranged in columns and rows that define parallel channels for fluid flow.
Research activities have focused on developing heat sinks to efficiently dissipate heat from highly concentrated heat sources such as microprocessors and computer chips. These heat sources typically have power densities in the range of 4 to 10 watts per square centimeter (3.5 to 9 Btu per second per square foot) and relatively small available space for placement of fans, heat exchangers, heat sinks and the like.
The typical liquid-cooled heat sinks have a fin density in the range of 2 to 7 fins per centimeter (6 to 18 fins per inch) and a fin height in the range of 2 to 5 millimeters (0.08 to 0.2 inch). Typical air-cooled heat sinks, on the other hand, have a fin density of about 3 to 10 fins per centimeter (8 to 25 fins per inch) and a fin height of about 10 to 15 millimeters (0.4 to 0.6 inch). Also fin thickness of 0.05 to 0.25 mm (0.002 to 0.01 inch) is common depending on the fin material.
Existing liquid-cooled heat sinks used for these purposes have generally used a high heat capacity-rate fluid such as water or water-glycol solution to transfer heat from the electronic heat source to the cooling fluid stream typically air. A typical liquid-cooled heat sink for electronics consists of a copper block with drilled circular passages for liquid flow that are connected in a serpentine pattern by means of hairpin tubes. The electronic heat source is bonded to one face of the block and cooling liquid flows through the drilled circular passages. Heat sinks of this type have also used a serpentine tube mounted on one side of a plate with the electronic heat source bonded on the other side of the plate. These types of heat sinks provide low heat transfer rate due to the wide spacing of the serpentine flow passages. Also, they tend to be heavy.
Existing air-cooled heat sinks used for these purposes comprise an array of parallel fins on one side of a plate. The electronic heat source is bonded to the opposite side of the plate. The parallel fins bonded to the plate form channels with relatively large aspect ratio of the channel width to channel height. Cooling air is drawn through the fins by means of a fan generally placed over the fins. The cooling capacity of such heat sinks tends to be low due to low heat capacity of air.
In conventional electronics cooling heat exchangers, turbulent flow with high flow velocity is necessary in order to achieve good heat transfer. This results in high pumping power for the cooling fluid. In addition, the high velocity turbulent flow contributes to the noise level of the electronic device, which is not desirable. Motivated by these considerations, a low velocity laminar flow is employed in the present invention so as to lower the pumping power and to reduce the noise associated with high velocity turbulent flow.
The present invention is directed to liquid-cooled or air-cooled metallic heat sinks such as those made of aluminum or aluminum-based alloys and copper or copper-based alloys. These heat sinks are capable of dissipating heat generated by concentrated heat sources using relatively low velocity larninar flow of the cooling fluid. The heat sinks are formed as a singular structure by casting, pressing, extruding, forging or by machining operations like electron discharge machining (EDM) and milling. As formed, the present heat sink comprises a planar base with integrated vertical fins on one side. The fins are arranged so that they cover the base to form parallel arrays across its width. The parallel fin arrays extend in a serial fashion along the flow length of the base with intervening gaps between successive arrays.
FIG. 1 depicts the top view of a heat sink of the present invention showing an array of parallel fins each of length x in the flow direction.
FIG. 2 depicts an enlarged section of FIG. 1 showing a section of the width of the heat sink with fin spacing 2 a, fin height 2 b and fin thickness δ.
The rationale for the selection of the arrays of parallel fins of relatively low spacing to height ratio can be understood with the help of the following simple analysis.
The prescribed rate of generation of heat {dot over (q)} by the electronic heat source bonded to the plate can be expressed via Newton's cooling law as
where h is the heat transfer coefficient within the flow passages, A is the total heat transfer area of the passages, Tw is the passage wall temperature and Tm is the fluid mean temperature.
The fins bonded to the base plate of the heat sink form an array of rectangular flow passages, which can be characterized by the passage aspect ratio α defined as
The heat transfer coefficient h entering Eq. (1) is a strong function of the passage aspect ratio α. With α=1, the flow passage is a square while with α=0, it degenerates into a parallel plate channel. The highest value of h in the entire range 0≦α≦1 for the rectangular family of passages is for parallel plate channel (α=0) while the lowest value of h is for the square passage (α=1). The heat transfer coefficient h of the parallel plate channel passage (α=0) is up to 60.5% higher than that of the square passage (α=1). Thus, for a more efficient s heat sink α→0. To all intents and purposes, a rectangular passage is considered a parallel plate channel when α≦0.15.
The heat transfer coefficient h and the friction factor f go hand-in-hand. Thus, like the heat transfer coefficient h, the highest value of the friction factor f in the entire range 0≦α≦1 for the rectangular family of passages is for parallel plate channel (α=0) while the lowest value of f is for the square passage (α=1). The friction factor f of the parallel plate channel passage (α=0) is up to 68.7% higher than that of the square passage (α=1).
A direct consequence of the higher value of the friction factor f is the higher pressure drop ΔP in the flow passage as can be inferred from the following general relation
Here f is the dimensionless friction factor, x is the passage length in the flow direction, ρ is the fluid density, um is the flow mean velocity, gc=32.174 (lbm/lbf)ft/s2 is the constant of proportionality in Newton's second law of motion and d is the hydraulic diameter of the passage defined as
For a rectangular passage with width 2 a and height 2 b, Eq. (4) yields the hydraulic diameter d as
Having established that parallel plate passages (α→0) in laminar flow are capable of relatively high heat transfer rate {dot over (q)} albeit at the expense of the pressure drop ΔP penalty, the heat transfer rate {dot over (q)} may be enhanced by restricting the passage length x so that the flow never gets a chance to become fully developed, i.e., completely viscous.
Based on the analytical relations presented in the reference M. S. Bhatti and C. W. Savery, Heat Transfer in the Entrance Region of a Straight Channel: Laminar Flow with Uniform Wall Heat Flux, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Journal of Heat Transfer, Vol. 99, pp. 142-144, 1977, it can be shown that the parallel plate passage length x in the flow direction can be determined using the relation
where U=uc/um is the dimensionless velocity being the ratio of the flow velocity uc along the center line of the parallel plate passage formed by the upright fins on the base plate and um is the flow mean velocity through the passage. The values of U range between U=1 at x=0 and U=1.5 at x=∞. The smaller the value of U the higher is the value of the heat transfer coefficient h and the friction factor f.
The dimensionless Reynolds number Re entering Eq. (4) is defined as
where μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid and the remaining symbols ρ, um and d are already defined in the context of Eq. (3).
For the present invention, it is preferred that the heat sinks have values of U that are within 10% of its ultimate value (U=1.5), i.e., U=1.35. Introducing this value into Eq. (6), it is determined that the parallel plate passage length x in the flow direction must be restricted to
The values of Re entering Eqs. (6) and (8) are restricted to be Re<2,300 to ensure that the fluid flow through the parallel plate channel passages remains laminar in order to yield low pumping power and noise.
Consistent with the value of the parallel plate channel passage length x given in Eq. (6), the average friction factor f over the flow length x for developing laminar flow in the parallel plate channel is given as
Depending on the chosen value of U in the range 1<U<1.5, the value of {fraction (x/a)} can be determined using Eq. (6) and the value of f using Eq. (9). For example, with U=1.35, {fraction (x/a)}=20 0.0096Re and f=72.89/Re.
The average heat transfer coefficient h over the parallel plate channel passage length x for developing laminar flow under conditions of uniform wall temperature is given in terms of the dimensionless Nusselt number Nu as
where k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid and Pr and Gz are respectively the dimensionless Prandtl number and Graetz number defined as
where cp is the isobaric specific heat of the fluid and the remaining symbols are previously defined.
Knowing h with the use of Eqs. (10) for developing laminar flow, the heat dissipation rate {dot over (q)} can be determined using Eq. (1). The ultra high fin density, in the range of 12 to 32 fins per centimeter (30 to 81 fins per inch), of the heat sinks of the present invention yields a high value of the heat transfer area A while the parallel plate channel configuration of the fins, gives a high value of the heat transfer coefficient h. The result of the high values of h and A is the high value of thermal conductance hA or equivalently low value of the thermal resistance 1/hA. Thus, as per Eq. (1), the rate of dissipation of heat {dot over (q)} is high with high value of hA.
By the following example, the teachings of the present invention are illustrated to size a preferred heat sink by the use of the foregoing relations.
An air-cooled heat sink of the present invention is made with a fin density n=35 fins per inch and fin thickness δ=0.002 inch. The aspect ratio α of the fin spacing 2 a to fin height 2 b is 0.08. The packaging constraints call for a heat sink width w=3.25 inches.
The heat sink is intended to dissipate 200 Watts (0.1896 Btu/s) of power {dot over (q)} into an air stream flowing at a mass flow rate {dot over (m)}=0.04 lbm/s. The temperature Tai of the incoming air is 100� F. and the flow mean velocity urn of the air through the fins is 25 ft/s. The average wall temperature Tw of the fin surface is 122� F.
The transport properties of the cooling air are as follows.
Density ρ=0.0749 lbm/ft3
Thermal conductivity k=0.0000041 Btu/ft s � F.
Isobaric specific heat cp=0.2410 Btu/lbm� F.
Dynamic viscosity μ=0.0000123 lbm/ft s
Prandtl number Pr=μcp/k=0.7230
In order to find the fin spacing 2 a, it is noted that the fin density n implies that there are n fins per unit length which translates to n−1 fin gaps per unit length. Assuming the fin gaps to be uniform, this means that the nominal fin spacing is 1(n−1). Taking cognizance of the fact that each fin takes away half fin thickness δ/2 from the nominal fin spacing, the actual fin spacing 2 a=1/(n−1)−δ. Introducing n =35 fins per inch and δ=0.002 inch, found that 2 a=0.0274 inch. Knowing the parallel plate passage aspect ratio α=0.08, the fin height 2 b is calculated to be 0.3426 since α=2 a/2 b. Knowing a and b, the hydraulic diameter d is calculated to be 0.0507 inch with the use of Eq. (5).
Given the air density ρ=0.0749 lbm/ft3, air dynamic viscosity μ=0.0000123 lbm/ft s, flow mean velocity um=25 ft/s and the flow passage hydraulic diameter d =0.0507/12 ft, the Reynolds number Re is calculated to be 644 with the use of Eq. (7). This value of Re is within the limits of the values of Re<2,300 to ensure laminar flow conditions. Substituting Re=644 and a=0.0137 inch into Eq. (8), the desired fin length x in the flow direction is calculated to be≦0.0847 inch. Adopting the upper bound as the acceptable value, x=0.0847 inch.
Next in order to determine the total number of fins in the plate, the total surface area A of the fins is first determined. This area can be calculated with the use of Eq. (1). Assuming the temperature gradients in the heat sink to be mild, the air mean temperature Tm entering Eq. (1) can be taken as the arithmetic mean of the air inlet temperature Tai=100� F. and as yet undetermined air outlet temperature Tao. This latter temperature can be determined using the simple energy balance {dot over (q)}={dot over (m)}cp(Tao−Tai) where the prescribed heat dissipation rate {dot over (q)}=0.1896 Btu/s, the mass flow rate of air {dot over (m)}=0.04 lbm/s, the isobaric specific heat of air cp=0.2410 Btu/lbm� F. and the air inlet temperature Tai=100� F. Introducing these values into the simple energy balance, we obtain Tao=120� F. whence Tm=(100+120)/2=110� F.
In order to find the total heat transfer area A from Eq. (1), the average heat transfer coefficient h for the developing laminar flow is needed which can be determined using Eq. (10). To that end, the dimensionless Graetz number Gz defined in Eq. (12) is first calculated. Introducing Re=644, Pr=0.7230, x=0.0847 inch and d=0.0507 inch into Eq. (12), Gz=279. Using this value of Gz together with Pr=0.7230, the dimensionless Nusselt number Nu =hd/k=14.1023 whence using the thermal conductivity k of air=0.0000041 Btu/ft s � F. and the hydraulic diameter d=0.0507/12 ft, h=0.0137 Btu/s ft2� F. Using this value of h together with {dot over (q)}=0.1896 Btu/s, Tw=122� F., Tm=110� F., A=1.1545 ft2 with the use of Eq. (1). This area is practically the area of the fins assuming the base plate area to be negligible.
The area of the two sides of each fin of height 2 b and length x is 4bx =4�0.1713�0.0847/144=0.000403 ft2. Dividing the total area A by the area of each fin, the total number of fins is 1.1545/0.000403=2,865. Since the fin density n is 35 fins per inch and the plate width w is 3.25 inches, it follows that the number of fins in each row should be 3.25�35=114. Dividing the total number of fins by the number of fins in each row, the number of rows is 2,865/114=25.13 which can be rounded off to 25 rows. Thus one would employ 25 rows of fins with 114 fins in each row. The total length of the plate in the flow direction will be 25 �0.0847=2.12 inches since the length of each fin in the flow direction is 0.0847 inch. The total plate length is rounded off to 2.5 inches to provide for the gaps between successive rows of fins.
Finally, in order to find the pressure drop Δp in the heat sink, the average friction factor f is determined with the use of Eq. (9). Introducing U=1.35 together with {fraction (x/a)}=0.0847/0.0137=6.1825 into Eq. (9), f=0.1132. Using this value of f together with x=0.0847/12 ft, ρ=0.0749 lbm/ft3, um=25 ft/s, gc=32.174 (lbm/lbf)ft/s2 and d=0.0507/12 ft into Eq. (3), the pressure drop through each row is 0.55 lbf/ft2 and since there are 25 rows of fins, the total pressure drop ΔP=25�0.55=13.76 lbf/ft2=0.0955 pounds per square inch (or 2.64 inches water) ignoring the pressure drop associated with fin gaps in the flow direction.
A heat sink of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It is formed from conducting metals like aluminum and copper as a single structural piece that includes both the base plate and fins. The starting material may be molten, in powder form or a solid block. The unibody heat sink of the present invention is readily distinguished from those known in the art where the base plate and fins are made separately and then joined. Various fabrication techniques may be employed to make heat sinks of the present invention including, but not limited to, the following.
1. heat sink, complete with base plate and fins, cast from molten metal and subsequently machined to impart the desired finish. Such heat sinks are preferred when the desired fin density is low.
2. continuous parallel fins extruded integral with the base plate in which the fins are subsequently cut into discrete lengths by milling or other suitable machining operations. Such heat sinks can be made at extremely fast rate; the fin density is limited to permissible tolerances allowed by the extrusion process.
3. parallel fins machined from a block of metal by electronic discharge machining (EDM) to achieve extremely high fin density. Such heat sinks are preferred when extremely high fin density is necessary and processing time is not important since the machining process is slow.
4. parallel fins formed by a machining process that cuts slots into a block of metal to produce high fin density; fins then cut in perpendicular direction to provide boundary layer interruption in the flow direction.
5. parallel fins formed on two separate plates by extrusion or by any of the machining operations with relatively low fin density in the range of 6 to 16 fins per centimeter (15 to 25 fins per inch). The resulting two finned plates may then be assembled together such that the fins on one plate intermesh with the fins on the other plate to define parallel plate passages with relatively high fin density in the range of 12 to 32 fins per centimeter (30 to 81 fins per inch). The advantages of this technique include ease of extrusion or machining to obtain relatively low fin density on individual plates and relatively high fin density in the assembled heat sink due to intermeshing of the fins on two mating plates.
6. fins formed by a series of operation in dies to form convoluted fins with louvers, if desired. The convoluted fins may then be brazed, soldered or glued to the base plate.
7. heat sink complete with fins and base plate forged from a block of metal.
Referring to FIG. 1, as formed heat sink of the present invention comprises a planar base 10 having a width 12 (w) and a flow length 14, and a plurality of fins 22. The width 12 and the flow length 14 may be determined based on the area necessary to dissipate the generated heat or may be based on package limitations.
Referring to FIG. 2, the fins 22 protrude from the base plate 10 on one side at approximately 90-degree angle from base 10. The fins 22 are aligned face-to-face across width 12 to define a parallel array of fins 22 at a fin density of greater than about 12.0 fins per centimeter (30 fins per inch). Across width 12, the fin spacing 16 (2 a) between adjacent fins 22 across width 12 is less than about 0.88 millimeters (0.03 inch). Fins 22 further have a fin height 18 (2 b) that is greater than about 2.0 millimeters (0.08 inch) and a fin thickness 20 (δ) that is less than about 0.15 millimeter (0.006 inch). Along width 12, the aspect ratio α, that is the ratio of the fin spacing 16 (2 a) to the fin height 18 (2 b), is less than about 0.15.
Referring back to FIG. 1, fins 22 are spaced approximately end-to-end separated by small intervening gaps 26 in-between successive fins 22 along flow length 14. These intervening gaps 26 substantially increase the effective heat transfer rate because they interrupt and re-start the formation of the thermal boundary layer. By maintaining the thermal boundary layer thickness within a certain range, the heat transfer coefficient applicable to the heat sink may be maximized over the flow length and the heat transfer rate may, thereby, be maintained as desired.
In the present invention, the preferred fin length 24 (x) is less than about 19 millimeters (0.75 inch). The size of the intervening gaps 26 is generally as small as allowable by manufacturing processing limitations.
The arrangement of fins 22 on the planar base 10 defines parallel arrays along width 12 that are in a series relationship with one another along the flow length 14. The parallel arrays of fins 22 that are in series along the flow length 14, thus, define parallel channels along flow length 14 suitable for flow under laminar flow conditions of a cooling fluid like air, water or water-glycol solution.
Inlet and outlet manifolds can be added onto the heat sinks of the present invention for entry and exit of the cooling fluid. Such manifolds may be joined by brazing, bonding or other mechanical means onto the ends of the heat sink. The heat source, such as a microprocessor or computer chip, can finally be bonded to the flat face of the heat sink.
The advantages of the present heat sink over prior art heat sinks include significantly larger heat transfer surface area packed within a smaller volume and high heat transfer coefficient due to low aspect ratio approaching that of a parallel plate channel configuration.
While the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described so as to enable one skilled in the art to practice the heat sinks disclosed, it is to be understood that variations and modifications may be employed without departing from the concept and intent of the present invention as defined by the following claims. An example of the obvious variation is to offset the parallel fins in successive rows instead of keeping them in line as depicted in FIG. 1. The preceding description is intended to be exemplary and should not be read to limit the scope of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined only by reference to the following claims.

Our mind's ability to remember things is the most amazing gift nature has bestowed on us. Here's a collection of short handpicked quotes about memories.
donhornsby's insight:
You don't have to hold onto the pain to hold onto the memory. - Janet Jackson
From hbr
Preserve your organization's innovative culture.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): For organizations dealing with this kind of toxic or vengeful behavior, there are really only two options for preserving your innovative culture: reformation or termination. If you envision that the resentful party can still be a positive contributor, point out the unacceptable behavior while reaffirming your commitment to that individual. If the individual is unable or unwilling to reform, then they have to be removed. No scientist would ever endanger the outcome of an experiment by allowing toxins to build up in their cell culture, nor should any organization, manager, or mayor, tolerate toxic behavior spoiling the positive effects of an innovative culture.
There's something that has to come before all the hard lessons - your leadership destiny needs to be unlocked, by using a simple notepad and pen.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): If you REALLY want to be a leader, declare that desire. Write it down. Don't use a computer. Write it down, in your own hand.
Tell yourself WHY you want to be a leader, and write that down too.
Then, put down YOUR rules of the Leadership road, and fully unlock your destiny as a great More Human leader.

(From the article): While no one can have a good attitude every single minute of every single day, toxic employees seem to have a bad attitude all day long. Not only that, but they are never truly happy until they put everyone else in a bad mood, too.

Approach your vacations with the same tenacity as your vocations.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Consider my friend John, the former chief executive and chairman of a top professional services firm, who is now active in several remarkable social initiatives. He sees holidays as a way to clear and sharpen his mind and has, for the past 25 years, organized annual hiking trips with his wife and three other couples. They walk for about a week in stunning mountains, national parks or nature preserves, pairing off differently each day so everyone gets a chance to chat. Before retiring from the CEO role, he would try to take these breaks just before his global partners' meetings because he found that his ideas, initiatives, and even speeches would become much more focused, rich, clear and powerful as a result—even though he didn't spend any time actively working on them!
Have you lost sight of your passion? Find it again and find yourself more successful.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): As we grow up we tend to forget what we lost ourselves in as kids. What were the things that lit you up and you could spend hours immersed in? For me, one of those things was basketball. Maybe you loved climbing trees or making up songs or playing video games with your friends. Maybe it was art or music or writing stories in your bedroom.
Try to remember what it was that made you happiest. If childhood doesn't offer any answers, try digging into the most recent memory of your happiest moments. Name that thing that you love.
Delegating can be one of the hardest things for a manager to do - giving away authority but remaining responsible. Here's how to delegate effectively and avoid the pitfalls.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Make delegation a regular practice, not just when you are overloaded or when tasks are unpleasant.
From hbr
It builds your credibility.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Being a leader doesn't mean that you're always right or that you won't err. What being a leader does mean is airing the reasons for why you did something and then making yourself accountable for the results—even if those you're accountable to don't directly work for you.
That's how you truly sow the seeds of engagement. Think about it: who would you rather trust—the person who denies anything is amiss or the person who admits their error and then follows up with a plan to correct it? Better yet, what if that same person who admits they made a mistake reaches out to their team for ideas on how to make things right? I've found that leaders who show their vulnerability, and admit that they are human, foster greater engagement among their associates.

I was going through airport security the other day, and I thanked the person who checked my bags. He turned to me with a look of shock on his face and said:
donhornsby's insight:
And being thankful in every day life can open up the door to meaningful relationships, which can lead to remarkable collaborations.
When it comes to recognizing employee effort, it's time to start worrying less about "fairness" and more about shining the light on work that makes a difference.
donhornsby's insight:
Recognition addresses a deep psychological need that everyone brings to the workplace.
(From the article): Leaders must challenge their definitions of "fairness" with regard to recognition. It's not fair to withhold positive comments about employee performance. It's not fair to conceal what you value most in terms of your team's behaviors or actions. And it's certainly not fair to fail to embrace a leadership practice that can directly affect the bottom line.
So the next time you're tempted to be "fair" by staying silent or you're tempted to start acting like a kids' soccer coach with trophies for everyone on the team, remember that ruining recognition isn't fair either.

Don't let yourself get in the way.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): The (desired) byproduct of being good at what you do, is that you'll get more to do. Beyoncé can only sing, dance, and be a boss within the same finite temporal constraints as yours. But even she has to turn things down or hand them off. Then, and only then, can she focus on moving her enterprise forward. No matter the size of the project, when relevant tasks come onto your plate that you simply don't have the capacity for, remember the Four D's: delete, defer, delegate or diminish.
One of the best ways to become a better leader is to view your organization in a new light. Here are 45 questions every leader should answer.
donhornsby's insight:
A great list of the important questions that every leader should consider and answer. Which one's are you considering today?
(From the article):Are we leading or just managing?Do we offer our people more than a paycheck?Are we challenging the status quo?How much time do we spend thinking versus doing?How much do we say, "We should have" when we truly could have?Is there a better way?

donhornsby's insight:
Does the authoritarian type of leadership work for you and your team now? Maybe.
But is it sustainable for any length of time? Absolutely not!
Some employees just seem to be ahead of the curve and reap the rewards. Here's how to be that person.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): THEY MAKE SPACE FOR BIGGER THINKING
Keeping some open time in the day, such as scheduling time between meetings and blocks of time for simply thinking or working on projects that require concentration, can also supercharge performance, Halpin says. Super-employees are vigilant about scheduling everything from daily meetings to big projects to ensure that they have the best possible chance at a successful outcome.
"Sometimes, it's just very practical actions—getting to places early, not rushing from meeting to meeting if you can help it—to give yourself time to do what you need to do. That may be thinking about the purpose of your next meeting, or getting a snack or drink so you're not hungry or thirsty," she says. Being harried, distracted, hungry, or otherwise uncomfortable because you're too rushed is not going to allow you to do your best work and be most insightful, she adds.
If you're like me, you think more about getting fit when the days start to require less clothes. What if you also used summertime as a time to pay a bit more attention to your leadership fitness? S...
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): How many times have you seen someone go to a leadership training, come back all fired up, and then go right back to their old habits a few days later? Pick one or two leadership behaviors you want to improve, and practice them consistently every day. This could be something as simple as "I'm going to ask more strategic questions to get my team thinking." Or, "I'm going to wait until others have had a chance to speak in meetings until I chime in."
The good news is that anyone can learn how to become a successful leader. Here are five good habits to cultivate starting today.
Via Roger Francis
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Leadership is noticing talent, nurturing and developing it, demonstrating that efforts to work hard will not go unnoticed, leading from the front, motivating and inspiring, creating a vision and striving for it as a united team. No-one said being a leader was easy, but it can certainly be rewarding. So whether you are new to being a leader, or more experienced, try cultivating the five habits of leadership in your working week, you team will thank you for it.
Ivan Ang's curator insight, June 23, 8:43 PM
These habits would be the bare basics of good leadership. Start with these and then build on it with other leadership traits to be developed.
Everyone wants to be healthy. Even when we might appreciate the extra rest and the attention, no one wants to get sick. We want healthy bodies and healthy minds, healthy emotions and healthy finances. We have apps to monitor ourselves and tell us how healthy we are. Many of us work hard to develop good habits …
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): We all want our leadership to be as healthy as possible. None of us wants to miss any time from work this summer.
How is your leadership feeling?
When is the last time you had your leadership health checked?
On the journey to ethical leadership, we all struggle. This struggle is often seen as negative – something that pulls us down and keeps us from succeeding. But what if we looked at it another way?
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): We choose our response to the struggle. If we choose a GROWTH mindset, we see struggle as a natural part of our leadership journey. The growth mindset most closely matches the difficult long-term process of human growth that is a critical part of good leadership.
While it may feel like climbing straight up a steep cliff, growth is necessary for good leadership.
How does this struggle shape us? It helps us develop the capacity to handle increasingly difficult challenges. It helps us stay open to new possibilities. It helps us become the best possible version of ourselves.
Choose to take on this journey, the struggle for growth that helps us become authentic leaders.

Accountability became a management fad in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, in most organizations, accountability has become a hollow and empty slogan that evokes cynicism and sarcasm.
Via Richard Andrews
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Any strategy or plan is only as good as people's relationship with it. When you create a genuine environment of accountability it compels people at all levels to establish a powerful relationship to their company or team's strategy or plan.
In the words of Margaret Mead: "Never underestimate the power of a few committed people to change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
A lesson on how leaders can bring out the best in those they lead from one leader who achieved this through the most simple of gestures.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Dan understood that a leader's job is to create an environment where people know they matter and deserve to be heard . That's why in those impromptu meetings I had with Dan, he always made me feel welcomed and that he appreciated hearing from me. Knowing that he counted on me to bring my best to the work I did drove me to push myself because I knew I was doing work that mattered.

What does it take and what is the difference in winning teams and winning team leadership?
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): While there are different kinds of teams and different kinds of team challenges, the goals are usually the same – to win! Whether it's gaining a new client, coming in first place in a company team challenge, or proving worthy of new venture capital – it's all about winning.
So what does it take and what is the difference in winning teams and winning team leadership?
From hbr
Research shows that formal postings can trump other methods.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Why does posting lead managers to make better internal hiring decisions? For starters, even the most connected managers in large organizations cannot be expected to know about every potential candidate for an open job. By enabling employees outside a hiring manager's personal network to present their qualifications, the posting process reduces the likelihood an exceptional candidate will be overlooked.
In addition, while hiring managers do possess more information on candidates in their personal network, access to information alone is not enough to ensure a good decision; managers must still select which information to use and which information to ignore. Work by Max Bazerman and Dolly Chugh on the concept of "bounded awareness" has identified two common decision-making errors related to managers' use of information. First, managers often overlook information that could improve their decision-making. The mechanics of posting require a manager to create a formal job description, which in turn establishes a set of criteria against which to evaluate potential candidates, whereas sponsorship lets managers informally mold the job requirements around their preferred candidate rather than evaluating the candidate against the requirements of the job. Having a set of formal evaluation criteria increases the likelihood that a hiring manager will be more likely to both recognize and seek out information that allows her to evaluate a candidate's ability to perform well in the job.
Leadership which inspires me pushes the boundaries on a journey to the center. The leaders I work to follow are geared toward meaningful truths as well as measurable objectives. Their decisions and actions come from places deeper than committee meetings and annual plans.
donhornsby's insight:
Our path toward centeredness with ourselves draws us to act more deeply as we lead ourselves and others.
When do you spend time at the center, getting to know yourself well?
How will you lead from the center today?

If you're working under a narcissistic leader, you know that nothing creates a more poisonous work environment. It may seem impossible to overcome, but take heart: It really can be done.
Via Gust MEES, Roger Francis
donhornsby's insight:
Perhaps the best advice in dealing with a narcissistic leader is the last line: "Don't get caught up in other people's stories but do your best with the situation you are in. If all else fails, remove yourself before the toxicity does lasting damage."
Gust MEES's curator insight, June 2, 2:51 AM

Behavioral economists and psychologists have uncovered scores of biases that undermine good decision-making. And, along with management experts, they have provided helpful tips that decision-makers can use to try to correct for those biases.
Via Richard Andrews
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Your teams are freed to focus on each element of this rational decision-making model and identify gaps in the quality of a decision. Instead of sticking to biases or getting mired in politics, people work to fill those gaps, with analytics providing a clear line of sight to the most value. Further, by satisfying all six elements of DQ, companies can recognize the quality of a decision as they make it, not just in hindsight. The result: far fewer failed strategies, far less wasted capital in investment decisions, and — to everyone's great relief — fewer blame games and witch hunts.
The hard truth is we all leave a lot of value on the table – value that we could seize with better decisions. Doing so requires an organization-wide framework for making them.
Expressworks International's curator insight, May 29, 12:47 PM
Use of trusted third parties as honest brokers may help companies ensure that confirmation bias isn't part of the decision making process.

I live here now and I hate it. They have bad communication. We paid our rent, light and water and now they are saying we owe light. which is stupid. It's because we talk to one of the girls there that said we had $85 dollars in credit and $35 in credit cuz we paid a little more of rent then we should have paid the last month and now another girl there that didn't know about it says we owe light which is so stupid cuz they should communicate with each other and have everything organized. They are very disorganized.They also allow their staff to just walk in our apartment without even being notified. Like this morning I woke up to the maintenance guy knocking on my bedroom door. like what the hell. I didn't even know he was inside to begin with. That's invading our privacy. What if I was naked or something and he just barges in.what if I was in the shower. So stupid. Idk why he shows up now when we called 3 weeks ago for him to fix something. They don't fix what needs to be fix all they say we need to order the part or something else. They make excuses. THey say they are under new management and that everything was supposed to be better, but no it's not. I lived here in the past and it exactly the same even under new management. the reason I came back is cuz I was desperate for a place for me and my family to live in, but nothing has changed since. It's horrible don't live here. sorry but you will have problems here. No communication. They were painting 2 other Apartments next door and upstairs and they didn't let us know. We had to find out by waking up to the horrible smell and I have 2 toddlers and that is bad for their health. They Didn't even warn us or nothing. Stupid ppl. Never would live here in my entire life again. horrible place to live.

On D-Day 70 years ago, the beaches of Normandy were full of blood, bodies and bullets, as Allied troops launched the invasion of France that led to the liberation of Europe and the end of World War II a year later.
This week, politicians and re-enactors stormed the shores alongside some of the surviving veterans, including one Scotsman who reprised his parachute jump. President Barack Obama called the D-Day beaches "democracy's beachhead."
And a tattered U.S. flag from one of the thousands of Allied ships ferrying troops that day sold Thursday for $350,000, well above the pre-sale estimate of $25,000 to $35,000, at an auction at Bonham's in New York.
Here are some of the best images from this week's D-Day activities in France
-- Silvia Ascarelli
Jock Hutton, now 89 years old, was a member of the 13th Battalion of Britain's Parachute Regiment in 1944. Back then, the Scotsman jumped from a low-flying plane as part of the first wave of troops; on Thursday, he re-enacted his drop, this time from a steeper 5,000 feet, in tandem with a member of the regiment's Red Devils parachute display team. He was greeted by Prince Charles.
"It was quite dark then, we couldn't see where we were going," Hutton recalled about his jump in 1944, according to AFP. "It was raining slightly and the moon was bursting out of the clouds, so that was a welcome to France."
A piper plays a lament on Gold Beach as landing craft from the Royal Marines arrive. Gold Beach, which is more than 5 miles wide, is in the center of the five designated D-Day landing beaches and was assigned to the British.

This bright and breezy outing from Benugo is just a hop from Liverpool Street station, with tempting produce luring City workers to buy and go or sit down at their leisure. A communal wooden table
holds centre stage, bearing gleaming Dualit toasters at breakfast time and cute herb pots later on. Early risers can enjoy bacon sarnies or eggs Benedict on serrano ham, while lunch brings boards
of charcuterie (jamón, lomo, bresaola), small plates of braised octopus with smoked-paprika potatoes, and mains ranging from wild mushroom risotto to grilled lamb fillet with ratatouille and salsa
verde. Top marks for the drinks list, too, which features 16 wines by the glass, as well as a good range of spirits – although we think it's a shame to see the wines served in cheap tumblers.
We have noticed this Bishopsgate Kitchen in the last few months which overlooks the Spitalfields market and is a part of the Bishopsgate Institute which offers courses, lectures and classes for adults (we are meaning to do a course – Honestly!)This place always looks welcoming and authentically Italian. The wall facing the street is just a panel of glass so those sitting inside can watch the world go by and those outside can be tempted in by the ham legs hanging, the casual atmosphere and the delicious looking food. This place does a good job at serving a number of clientele, ideal for breakfast, lunch or...

INitiative [INHOUSE] Panel Discussion
AIGA Triad
Thursday, July 31, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (EDT)
AIGA TRIAD NC invites you to join us for an in-house panel discussion featuring creative directors from Under Armour, Krispy Kreme, and Wake Forest University! These creative leaders will share insight into the inner workings of in-house design studios—shedding light on the current struggles and successes faced in an in-house design environment.
While all of these professionals work in-house, each have varying perspectives and unique responsibilities. Our panelists will cover a variety of topics including maintaining brand consistency, finding inspiration, and managing work flow.
This event is meant to be an engaging and informative, yet casual and will help provide support, resources, and inspiration for the many in-house designers working here in the Triad and the surrounding areas. Come with questions, concerns, and advice to join the conversation!
Featured Panelists:
Luiz "Guto" Andrade, Sr. Director, Creative and Design at Under Armour, Inc.
Martin Davidson, Global Creative Director, Krispy Kreme
Hayes Henderson, Executive Creative Director, Wake Forest University
Brent Piper, Newly-elected AIGA Triad NC President and Director of Design at Wake Forest University
If your organization would benefit from your attendance at this panel discussion, it's a great idea to talk with your employer about making this a company-paid professional development opportunity.
INitiative is a joint partnership between AIGA and The Creative Group. This national program provides knowledge and tools to help in-house designers make a greater impact at their companies, evolve professionally and connect with a broader network of peers. INitiative delivers inspiration, advice and insights from leaders of the in-house sector via online channels and in-person events.
Special thanks to our Platinum Sponsor, The Creative Group, and our Gold Sponsor, Monadnock.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wookie54 Excellent stay My first time at this property. Staff was attentive and very helpful. The condition of the room was excellent. Fitness facility was very good. Very good proximity to downtown Phoenix restaurants, shopping, and attarctions. Exiting guest parking could be easier. September 17, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5 by Comanche64 Check in terrible It took an hour to check in for a conference because the hotel didn't have reservations for nine rooms for which I had a confirmation number and had been sent emails confirming more than one. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by topawaali1969 very peaceful, calming, housekeeping excellent service I attended a conference, the facilities were very accommodating. plenty of room for meetings, easy access. Restaurant choices were good and prices were good, being that the attendees were on budgets September 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by earthly An Excellent Experience There are not enough good words that I can say about this hotel. The staff are kind, attentive to customers' needs, and do an excellent job in recognizing SPG status. This was a very pleasant surprise for us, as we do lots of traveling, but don't tend to come across hotels with such superb service. What separates a good hotel from a great hotel are the staff. And the staff at this hotel excel in almost every manner. The hotel is modern yet warm, the food in the restaurant is nothing short of excellent, and the platinum lounge is a very convenient bonus at this hotel. We were upgraded to one of their nicest suites and couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. If you're thinking about heading to the Phoenix area, this is by far one of the best Sheratons that we've ever stayed at. Do not hesitate to stay here! September 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 11lexus Home away from home The hotel was perfect in every way. We could not ask for anything more. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gary1947 This hotel has excellent service. Everything met or exceeded my expectations except for parking availability and you do a good job with limited resources. August 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BJ36 Conferance facilities the accommodations for the League of Cities was very satisfactory as was the food. The rooms for guest met all my expectations. August 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HotelPrincess Better second experience This review is based on my second stay, just a month following my first one. This was a much better experience--one that more closely aligned with reports from my associates--so I think my first experience was an outlier. The room was clean and comfortable, with the thermostat set at a good temperature for sleeping. The best was very comfortable, and I had a terrific night's sleep. Staff get 5 stars for friendliness and professionalism, from the bell service to valet, reception to restaurant servers. I ate only one meal at District, but the food was top notch and a great value. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aztex Conference Center Location and operation make this a wonderful hotel for conferences and large gatherings. Especially good for groups with limited mobility as all facilities are in one vertical structure. August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DonnaToronto Business First Class Top notch service from time of check in to departure. Well above average Club amenities - and location is conveniently downtown. I can't say enough about helpful staff - friendly and accommodating. A really really great experience while on business. I would return in a heartbeat - whether business or leisure. August 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cyndib Customer service is over the top here Our stay seemed complicated because we attended a conference and decided to stay extra days....the hotel took care of everything and made our stay wonderful...which is why we decided to be pampered a few more days. August 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by vic5 Great Room I had a fantastic stay at the Sheraton. I was in a room with a king size bed that was very clean, comfortable and spacious. I had a nice view of Phoenix outside of my room window. I would totally stay here again. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fernie DT Sheraton This is conviently located near the Phoenix Convention Center. Night life is sparse in Downtown PHX but the AZ Center is located right next door which offers dining and shopping options. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TEL14 This hotel has many great features. The hotel is within walking distance to major attractions such as the convention center; theatre; sports arena as well as dining areas. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SharonZ ASU Phoenix Parent This hotel was located right across from the dorms, so it was convenient for this mama of a freshman. Everyone at the hotel went out of their way to help me with whatever question I might have or what I might need. Gorgeous room, comfy bed, large bathroom, amazing view. I will return again and again! August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Norm69 Good Property After confusion with our arrival date we were immediately checked in by efficient front desk person , was not given an upgrade except to be placed on the Club Lounge Floor and in visiting the lounge was small but the staff were very attentive to our needs, the only fault that I would make is the seating at the desk and working on your computer the chair was not an adjustable chair and it meant that the pillows had to be used August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nothingfancy Anonymous Excellent location to the airport and downtown Phoenix. The staff was very helpful. August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tucsontwo Close by for Paul McCartney concert Great hotel! Valet parking and check-in were problem free. Since we were in town to see Paul McCartney in concert at the USAirways Arena, we were a 10 minute walk away. The check-in clerk gave us directions to our restaurant and then to the arena. The room was well appointed and very comfortable. We went to the District Bar where they were serving a special drink in honor of Paul...it was very good...and a great price at $5. Check out in the morning was terrific also. August 14, 2014

Skip to Main Content
A modified decentralized model reference adaptive controller is proposed for a continuous time large scale system composed of N interconnected linear subsystems with unknown parameters. In the case where the high frequency gain of the transfer function of each of the isolated subsystems is known, the modified scheme can be used to improve the bad transient behaviour that typically results from poor knowledge of the subsystem parameters. The transient performance improvement, however, has to be traded off against the "size" of the allowable unmodeled interconnections in such a way that as the unmodeled interconnections disappear, the improvement in transient performance can be made arbitrary. Each local adaptive scheme uses "approximate differentiators," and so possible sensor noise amplification is expected to be an additional limitation of the proposed scheme
