Filtre numériqueEn électronique, un filtre numérique est un élément qui effectue un filtrage à l'aide d'une succession d'opérations mathématiques sur un signal discret. C'est-à-dire qu'il modifie le contenu spectral du signal d'entrée en atténuant ou éliminant certaines composantes spectrales indésirées. Contrairement aux filtres analogiques, qui sont réalisés à l'aide d'un agencement de composantes physiques (résistance, condensateur, inductance, transistor, etc.
Maison solaire passiveUne maison solaire passive est une habitation de type habitat passif, c'est-à-dire conçue pour bénéficier au maximum du rayonnement solaire, grâce à sa conception (forme, orientation, répartition des ouvertures, isolation, inertie thermique...), à la qualité de ses composants (murs, toiture, sol, fenêtres et portes...) et à une ventilation performante qui permet de maîtriser les apports d'air et le degré d'humidité.

Un système de refroidissement passif est une installation de refroidissement d'un bâtiment ne consommant pas d'énergie. Rafraîchissement par ventilation (le puits thermique est l'air), système le plus communément utilisé. Rafraîchissement géothermique (le puits thermique est le terrain). Rafraîchissement par évaporation ((le puits thermique est l'eau). Rafraîchissement radiatif (le puits thermique est le ciel nocturne).
Dynamic frequency scalingDynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual needs, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip. Dynamic frequency scaling helps preserve battery on mobile devices and decrease cooling cost and noise on quiet computing settings, or can be useful as a security measure for overheated systems (e.g.
Passive daytime radiative coolingPassive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) is a renewable cooling method proposed as a solution to global warming of enhancing terrestrial heat flow to outer space through the installation of thermally-emissive surfaces on Earth that require zero energy consumption or pollution. Because all materials in nature absorb more heat during the day than at night, PDRC surfaces are designed to be high in solar reflectance (to minimize heat gain) and strong in longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal radiation heat transfer through the atmosphere's infrared window (8–13 μm) to cool temperatures during the daytime.
Active-pixel sensorAn active-pixel sensor (APS) is an , which was invented by Peter J.W. Noble in 1968, where each pixel sensor unit cell has a photodetector (typically a pinned photodiode) and one or more active transistors. In a metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) active-pixel sensor, MOS field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are used as amplifiers. There are different types of APS, including the early NMOS APS and the now much more common complementary MOS (CMOS) APS, also known as the CMOS sensor.
Complementary metal oxide semi-conductorvignette|Vue en coupe d'un transistor MOS On appelle CMOS, ou Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, une technologie de fabrication de composants électroniques et, par extension, les composants fabriqués selon cette technologie. Ce sont pour la plupart des circuits logiques (NAND, NOR) comme ceux de la famille Transistor-Transistor logic (TTL) mais, à la différence de ces derniers, ils peuvent être aussi utilisés comme résistance variable.
Consolidation informatiqueLa consolidation est en informatique le regroupement cohérent de données. Elle concerne généralement des données organisées logiquement ou liées entre elles. Plus spécifiquement pour les tableurs, il s’agit du regroupement de plusieurs tableaux issus de feuilles différentes (les feuilles sont des composantes des tableurs) voire de classeurs différents. La consolidation de données consiste à rassembler plusieurs données semblables afin d’obtenir un rapport plus facile à consulter que l’information brute présente sur le serveur, avec le moins de perte d’information possible.
Back-illuminated sensorA back-illuminated sensor, also known as backside illumination (BI) sensor, is a type of digital that uses a novel arrangement of the imaging elements to increase the amount of light captured and thereby improve low-light performance. The technique was used for some time in specialized roles like low-light security cameras and astronomy sensors, but was complex to build and required further refinement to become widely used. Sony was the first to reduce these problems and their costs sufficiently to introduce a 5-megapixel 1.
Power managementPower management is a feature of some electrical appliances, especially copiers, computers, computer CPUs, computer GPUs and computer peripherals such as monitors and printers, that turns off the power or switches the system to a low-power state when inactive. In computing this is known as PC power management and is built around a standard called ACPI, this supersedes APM. All recent computers have ACPI support.
Enterprise integrationEnterprise integration is a technical field of enterprise architecture, which is focused on the study of topics such as system interconnection, electronic data interchange, product data exchange and distributed computing environments. It is a concept in enterprise engineering to provide the relevant information and thereby enable communication between people, machines and computers and their efficient co-operation and co-ordination.
Semantic integrationSemantic integration is the process of interrelating information from diverse sources, for example calendars and to do lists, email archives, presence information (physical, psychological, and social), documents of all sorts, contacts (including social graphs), search results, and advertising and marketing relevance derived from them. In this regard, semantics focuses on the organization of and action upon information by acting as an intermediary between heterogeneous data sources, which may conflict not only by structure but also context or value.
