Cuiseur solaireUn cuiseur solaire, également appelé couramment cuisinière solaire ou four solaire, est un système de cuisson captant le rayonnement infrarouge du soleil pour sécher, chauffer, cuire, torréfier ou pasteuriser des boissons et d'autres aliments. Il s'agit d'un type de four solaire, d'autres types ayant des usages différents, tels que la production d'électricité.
Luminescent solar concentratorA luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is a device for concentrating radiation, solar radiation in particular, to produce electricity. Luminescent solar concentrators operate on the principle of collecting radiation over a large area, converting it by luminescence (specifically by fluorescence) and directing the generated radiation into a relatively small output target. Initial designs typically comprised parallel thin, flat layers of alternating luminescent and transparent materials, placed to gather incoming radiation on their (broader) faces and emit concentrated radiation around their (narrower) edges.
Optimizing compilerIn computing, an optimizing compiler is a compiler that tries to minimize or maximize some attributes of an executable computer program. Common requirements are to minimize a program's execution time, memory footprint, storage size, and power consumption (the last three being popular for portable computers). Compiler optimization is generally implemented using a sequence of optimizing transformations, algorithms which take a program and transform it to produce a semantically equivalent output program that uses fewer resources or executes faster.
