Carrier generation and recombinationIn the solid-state physics of semiconductors, carrier generation and carrier recombination are processes by which mobile charge carriers (electrons and electron holes) are created and eliminated. Carrier generation and recombination processes are fundamental to the operation of many optoelectronic semiconductor devices, such as photodiodes, light-emitting diodes and laser diodes. They are also critical to a full analysis of p-n junction devices such as bipolar junction transistors and p-n junction diodes.
Gestion des boues de vidangevignette|Démonstration d'une nouvelle pompe pour vidanger les boues d'une latrine à fosse, près de Durban, en Afrique du Sud La gestion des boues de vidange (GBV), aussi appelée gestion des boues fécales, désigne la façon de gérer le contenu des fosses septiques et fosses de latrines, dont la vidange, le transport et le traitement. Elle s'occupe du mélange d'excréments humains et d'eau qui est stocké dans les systèmes décentralisés, par opposition aux eaux usées transportées dans les égouts et aux boues d'épuration qui en proviennent.
Flexible electronicsFlexible electronics, also known as flex circuits, is a technology for assembling electronic circuits by mounting electronic devices on flexible plastic substrates, such as polyimide, PEEK or transparent conductive polyester film. Additionally, flex circuits can be screen printed silver circuits on polyester. Flexible electronic assemblies may be manufactured using identical components used for rigid printed circuit boards, allowing the board to conform to a desired shape, or to flex during its use.
