YAVNE, ISRAEL- Despite the slump in the global economy and the weak U.S. dollar, Valor Computerized Systems Ltd. experienced an increase in profits for 2008. The first six months brought revenues of $21.4 million, with a $10.7 million increase for the second quarter—marking a 2% growth over 2007 figures. The second quarter of 2008 saw operating activities bringing a positive cash flow of $5.7 million, an improvement over the negative cash flow of the previous year. Net profits increased a total of 49% compared to the same period in 2007. During the quarter, Valor, a global provider of productivity improvement software solutions for PCBs, entered into three new OEM agreements with major machine vendors who will sell the company’s products concurrently with their own machines- resulting in an expansion of Valor’s distribution channels. “We are also in the process of releasing new products for quality management and business intelligence for electronics manufacturing. We see growing demand for solutions in those areas, and we believe that our knowledge and technology can allow us to come out with winning products for those markets,” explains CEO Dan Hoz.

Mentor Graphics Introduces FloTherm IC
FloTherm software is for IC thermal characterization and design. Is a Web-based platform that automates design tasks associated with full-spectrum thermal characterization and validation. Is said to reduce time spent on thermal characterization and design by up to 25% by providing an automated process that includes pre-verified thermal models. Addresses full-spectrum thermal metric and compact model generation with adherence to JEDEC standards; package-aware parametric design for what-if analysis; EDA tool interfacing for detailed modeling of BGA substrates for physical layout, and data...

Printing Screens Revisited
Research continues on improving printed frontside silver conductor line efficiency.A simple Internet search will reveal the photovoltaic industry is working hard on higher aspect ratio frontside conductor grids as a route to greater solar cell efficiencies. This is because the conductors, typically screen-printed on a cell’s frontside, block sunlight from reaching the energy converting strata below, and the narrower they are, the less shadow they cast. However, as it is essential they...
