  2. Spacecraft thermal control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_thermal_control

    The thermal control subsystem can be composed of both passive and active items and works in two ways: Protects the equipment from overheating, either by thermal insulation from external heat fluxes (such as the Sun or the planetary infrared and albedo flux), or by proper heat removal from internal sources (such as the heat emitted by the internal electronic equipment).

  3. LZ experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ_experiment

    Because it is so quiet, this innermost, or "fiducial" volume is very sensitive to observing WIMP scatters above other backgrounds, and is the space in which LZ's WIMP searches are conducted. Next, the TPC is located inside several layers of active and passive shielding to reduce rates of external gamma rays and neutrons.

    The active capture ring that extends outward from the spacecraft captured the passive mating ring on the space station's APAS-95 connection on the Pressurized Mating Adapter. The capture ring aligned them, pulled them together and deployed 12 structural hooks, latching the two systems with an airtight seal.

  5. Strict Fibonacci heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strict_Fibonacci_heap

    All nodes are either active (colored white) or passive (colored red). An active root is an active node with a passive parent. A passive linkable node is a passive node where all its descendants are passive (a passive node with no children is considered to be linkable). The rank of an active node is the number of active children it has.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

    Another passive collector-distributor Trombe Wall system was built in 1970, in Montmedy, France. The house with 280 cubic metres (9,900 cu ft) living space required 7000 kWh for space heating annually. At Montmedy-between 49° and 50° North latitude-5400 kWh were supplied by solar heating and the remainder from an auxiliary electrical system.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_guidance

    Retransmission homing, also called "track-via-missile" or "TVM", is a hybrid between command guidance, semi-active radar homing and active radar homing. The missile picks up radiation broadcast by the tracking radar which bounces off the target and relays it to the tracking station, which relays commands back to the missile.
