WCIA-TV (Oct. 15) -- A new, $18.5 million Engineering Research Center led by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is out to pack more power into less space for the electrical systems. Called P.O.E.T.S., the Power Optimization for Electro-Thermal Systems center will attack the thermal and electrical challenges surrounding mobile electronics and vehicle design as a single system. P.O.E.T.S. is funded by the National Science Foundation. France Córdova, who leads the NSF, joined industry partners and members of the Illinois congressional delegation for the center's official launch on October 15. Also: News-Gazette (Oct. 16).
