2. Blackout (fabric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_(fabric)

   The process of manufacturing blackout was invented by Baltimore-based Rockland Industries, [2] and involves coating a fabric with layers of foam, or 'passes'. A '2-pass' blackout is produced by applying two passes of foam to a fabric – first, a black layer is applied to the fabric, then a white or light-colored layer is applied on top of the black.

3. Zero-curtain effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-Curtain_Effect

   The zero-curtain effect occurs in cold (particularly periglacial) environments where the phase transition of water to ice is slowed due to latent heat release. The effect is notably found in arctic and alpine permafrost sediments, and occurs where the air temperature falls below 0 ° C (the freezing point of water) followed by a rapid drop in ...

4. Curtain wall (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtain_wall_(architecture)

   The curtain wall itself, however, is not ordinarily required to have a rating. This causes a quandary as compartmentalization (fire protection) is typically based upon closed compartments to avoid fire and smoke migrations beyond each engaged compartment. A curtain wall by its very nature prevents the completion of the compartment (or envelope).

5. Double-skin facade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-skin_facade

   The essential concept of the double-skin facade was first explored and tested by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier in the early 20th century. His idea, which he called mur neutralisant (neutralizing wall), involved the insertion of heating/cooling pipes between large layers of glass.

   The blackout was considered to be Cuba’s worst in two years after Hurricane Ian made landfall as a Category 3 storm in 2022 and damaged power installations. It took days for the government to fix them. This year, some homes have spent up to eight hours a day without electricity. There is no official estimate for when the blackout will end.

7. Yttria-stabilized zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttria-stabilized_zirconia

   Hafnia-stabilized zirconia has about 25% lower thermal conductivity, making it more suitable for thermal barrier applications. [4] Although 8–9 mol% YSZ is known to not be completely stabilized in the pure cubic YSZ phase up to temperatures above 1000 °C. [5] Commonly used abbreviations in conjunction with yttria-stabilized zirconia are:
