As low performance applications require only tens of MHz operation, SRAM temperature remains around RT, where active and leakage power consumptions are comparable.
Better yet, it features a "hard drive heater" for startup and operation in freezing temperature and enough internal diagnostics to prevent damage in extreme cold and heat.
In 2001, the Court ruled against the government in a case involving use of a ground-based thermal imager to detect an indoor marijuana growing operation by measuring the temperature of the roof and outside wall of a house.
Siemens and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) plan to demonstrate that high-temperature superconductor technology is suitable for power generation in everyday operation.
Though the temperature at which this effect occurs is too low for it to have any obvious practical consequences for the operation of computer chips, it is hot stuff for the theorists.
