HEAT CHECKING [6 records]

Record 1 2011-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Foundry Practice
DEF

A process in which fine cracks are formed on the surface of a body sliding contact due to the buildup of excessive frictional heat.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fonderie
DEF

Formation de fissures à la surface des moules après un certain nombre d'injections.

OBS

Selon l'Association technique de fonderie, le terme consacré par l'usage serait «criquage à chaud».

Record 2 1999-03-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Life Cycle (Informatics)
CONT

As the component density on chips rises, dissipating the heat generated by computations becomes more difficult. Researchers... are therefore checking into the possibility of returning capacitors to their original state at the end of a calculation. Because reversible logic gates would in effect recapture some of the energy expended, they would generate less waste heat.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cycle de vie (Informatique)
CONT

À mesure que la densité des composants augmente sur les puces, on dissipe de plus en plus difficilement la chaleur engendrée par les calculs. Des chercheurs [...] cherchent un moyen de ramener les condensateurs à leur état initial à la fin des calculs. Ces portes logiques réversibles dissiperaient moins de chaleur, car elles récupéreraient une partie de l'énergie dépensée.
