Propylene carbonate (often abbreviated PC) is an organic compound with the formula C 4 H 6 O 3. It is a cyclic carbonate ester derived from propylene glycol. [4] This colorless and odorless liquid is useful as a polar, aprotic solvent. [5] Propylene carbonate is chiral, but is used as the racemic mixture in most contexts.
The science-fiction film The Abyss (1989) depicted an experimental liquid-breathing system, in which the use of highly oxygenated Fluorinert enabled a diver to descend to great depths. While several rats were shown actually breathing Fluorinert, scenes depicting actor Ed Harris using the fluid-breathing apparatus were simulated.
LCD uses a liquid crystal that reacts to an electric current blocking light or allowing it to pass through the panel, whereas OLED/microLED displays consist of electroluminescent organic/inorganic materials that generate light when a current is passed through the material.
An open bath refers to the "open" liquid–air interface [3] and thus surface tension between the liquid and the air is a distinctive element. Open bath systems are usually tanks which contain a larger body of dielectric liquid where electronics are immersed into the bath. Multiple electronic assemblies share the same liquid.
Liquid Computing was an information technology business that sold components like servers, storage, and networking systems. It was founded in 2003, and ceased operations in 2010. The company had customers in North America and established partnerships with companies such as Intel, Microsoft, VMware, Oracle, Red Hat, NetApp and AMD.
Aquasar is a supercomputer (a high-performance computer) prototype created by IBM Labs in collaboration with ETH Zurich in Zürich, Switzerland and ETH Lausanne in Lausanne, Switzerland. [1] While most supercomputers use air as their coolant of choice, the Aquasar uses hot water to achieve its great computing efficiency.
Liquid packaging board is a multi-ply paperboard with high stiffness, strong wet sizing and a high barrier coating, e.g. plastic. Only virgin paper fibers are used. The barrier coating must hold the liquid and prevent migration of air and flavors through the paperboard.
Liquid marbles demonstrate a potential as micro-reactors, micro-containers for growing micro-organisms and cells, micro-fluidics devices, and have even been used in unconventional computing. [5] [6] [7] Liquid marbles remain stable on solid and liquid surfaces. [1] [8] Statics and dynamics of rolling and bouncing of liquid marbles were reported.
