NX PCB Exchange facilitates mechanical and electrical design
collaboration throughout the product development process. Creates a direct link between MCAD and ECAD. Generates 3-D assembly models of the PCB and
components from Board Designer data and makes them usable by all NX
applications for design review and simulation. Allows bending or flattening of a board design for assembly parts. Data such as the board
outline, component placements, hole placements, patterns, masks, resists and
pads can be bidirectionally transmitted between Board Designer and NX.

Nextreme Thermal Solutions introduces the eTEC Thermoelectric Cooling Kit. Features include a single UPF40 thermoelectric module, and air-tight cooling environment and electrical connectors for accurate temperature measurements of thin-film thermoelectric devices.
The UPF40 module allows for precise cooling and temperature control of opto-electronic applications with high heat-flux requirements in very small packages (laser diodes, high-brightness LEDs, VCSELs).
The kit provides a full thermal path while needing only an adjustable power supply, a volt meter and a two-channel, type K thermocouple readout to measure temperature differentials.
