Thermoelectrically elevated hydrogel evaporation for personal cooling under extreme heat [PDF]
Cell Reports Physical ScienceExtreme heat events with wet-bulb temperatures (WBT) above 35{\deg}C pose serious risks to human survival, and conventional hydrogel evaporative cooling alone may not provide sufficient relief as it must be maintained at a sufficiently high temperature ...

Optimisation of Continuous and Pulsed Cooling in Injection Moulding Processes [PDF]
, 2007 The concept of pulsed cooling in injection moulding involves cycling the flow of coolant in order that cooling only takes place as and when it is required, as opposed to continuous cooling, where the coolant in run through the channels throughout the ...
