The technology is called phase-change memory, or PCM, which is seen as an alternative to flash. ❋ Shara Tibken (2011)
The website explains that the warmer is powered by a special "phase-change" gel a non-toxic material which generates heat as it transforms from liquid to solid safely sealed within the leak-proof chamber, much like traditional hand warmers. ❋ Jay Weston (2011)
Other backers include Everspin Technologies Inc., a spinoff from Freescale Semiconductor Inc. Alternatives technologies include phase-change memory, which has been supported by companies such as Micron Technology Inc. and Intel Corp. ❋ Don Clark (2011)
And yet an unseen, perhaps unconscious, will of the people caused a cultural and political phase-change in the British nation that they neither knew they wanted nor knew they had the power to cause. ❋ Unknown (2011)
In a phase-change memory, heat is used to shift a glassy material from an amorphous to a crystalline state and back. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The new material offers an approach that is radically different from a promising type of storage called “phase-change memory” being pursued by I.B.M., ❋ Unknown (2010)
This phase-change began noticeably and violently when the United States dropped the first atomic bombs on Japan in 1945. ❋ Barbara Marx Hubbard (2010)
We are today living through a crisis that could destroy civilization and our essential life support systems, but we are also living through a deeper phase-change in evolution itself. ❋ Barbara Marx Hubbard (2010)
A phase-change material under the maple floors is designed to absorb heat during the day that comes in through its floor-to-ceiling windows and radiates the heat at night. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The interior, one big, multifunctional living area, is kept at a comfortable temperature by custom vacuum insulation panels, phase-change material in the drywall and automated louver-covered windows. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Low about 10 F, with prospects for sun and warmth actually above the point where dihydrogen monoxide experiences a phase-change from solid to liquid. ❋ Jhetley (2009)
The antifreeze or phase-change fluid transports the heat from the collectors to the heat storage tank, where a heat exchanger transfers the heat to the water in the storage tank. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Indirect solar hot-water systems, also known as closed-loop or antifreeze systems, use an antifreeze solution (a glycol-and-water mixture is the most common) or a phase-change liquid (such as methyl alcohol) to keep the collectors and exterior piping from freezing. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Intel also is describing new progress in refining what it calls phase-change memory, a technology that is expected to eventually replace existing ways data is stored on memory chips. ❋ Unknown (2008)
But the new venture has one important asset -- a lead position in a technology called phase-change memory that could succeed NOR in several years, they noted. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Numonyx, a joint venture recently formed by Intel Corp. and STMicroelectronics NV, is betting on a technology called phase-change memory, which exploits the behavior of certain materials to change their structure with the application of heat. ❋ Unknown (2008)
