• Conducting a Whole House Inspection for Latent Fastener-into-Pipe Defects Using Visual and Thermal Information
  hot or cold water. In a 2006, paper we extended those techniques to include PVC or copper drain and vent pipes where the use of water to heat the pipes is not a viable approach. Microsoft Word - 2007-087 VanBree. Conducting a Whole House Inspection for Latent Fastener-into-Pipe. Defects Using Visual...
• A cleaner path to cool chips
  conductor. One scheme fills these gaps with a highly thermally conductive material such as thermal grease, which is effective but messy. Elastomer-based thermal pads are another, cleaner option. They consist of a binder such as silicone filled with fine particles of heat-conducting ceramic. Elastomer...
• Power in small packages
  heat from the module. Foremost of these was the plated-cavity design. Also significant is the effectiveness of the thermal interface between the module baseplate and the user's heat-conducting material. Its effectiveness depends on minimizing thermal resistance across the interface which minimizes air...
• Case Study: GE4000 Observes Gamma-Ray Phenomena
  " is conducting a project aimed at detecting and measuring optical transients (also called optical bursts). Optical transients are sudden appearances of emissions in a night sky. Their origins vary but those more commonly studied by contemporary astrophysicists are related to optical emissions from...
• Fuel-cell APUs: A Step Toward All-Electric Cars
  Run your car's air conditioner with the engine off? No problem. Delphi's 5-kW solid-oxide fuel-cell auxiliary power unit SOFCs make electricity from fuel and oxidant gases in an electrochemical process that takes place across an ion-conducting, ceramic membrane. Reformed fuel (reformate) feeds...
• Thermal Considerations For DC/DC Converters

• A scalable cooling strategy to meet current and future thermal management requirements
  center are adaptability and scalability. Data center and IT managers can work to overcome these challenges by conducting an energy audit. Through this audit, managers will be able to accurately measure energy consumption levels and pinpoint areas for improvement. Facilities typically find...
• Dimming AC Incandescent Lamps Using A PIC10F200

In order to make an informed. age reaches 5V. Translating this into a conduction. decision, we will need to cover a few triac basics first...
• Smart Computing Article - New CPU
  is a special heat-conducting material you spread over the top of the CPU so it can make a perfect seal with the heat sink. Retail processors come with thermal paste already applied, but be sure to grab a tube if you opt for an OEM processor. If you forget to order it, Radio Shack usually stocks the stuff...
