  2. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy...

    Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons.A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a hot object emitting thermal radiation and a photovoltaic cell similar to a solar cell but tuned to the spectrum being emitted from the hot object.

    The first model, introduced in 1985, was the Pad-8. Originally to be called MPC-8 (MIDI Percussion Controller 8), but was renamed Pad-8 to avoid legal implications with MPC Electronics. [ 2 ] It was an influential device at that time, allowing drummers and percussionists the opportunity to trigger virtually any MIDI sound source without the ...

    Zone 3: Pa > Pv > PA Zone 4: Pa > Pi > Pv > PA This concept is generally attributed to an article by West et al. in 1964, [ 1 ] but was actually proposed two years earlier by Permutt et al. [ 2 ] In this article, Permutt suggests "The pressure in the pulmonary arteries and veins is less at the top than at the bottom of the lung.

    The QIL design increased the spacing between solder pads without increasing package size, for two reasons: It allowed more reliable soldering. This may seem odd today, given the far closer solder pad spacing in use now, but in the 1970s, the heyday of the QIL, bridging of neighbouring solder pads on DIL chips was an issue at times,

  9. Pad-mounted transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad-mounted_transformer

    A padmount or pad-mounted transformer is a ground-mounted electric power distribution transformer in a locked steel cabinet mounted on a concrete pad. Since all energized connection points are securely enclosed in a grounded metal housing, a padmount transformer can be installed in places that do not have room for a fenced enclosure.
