n
(electronics, informal) Premature failure of an electrolytic capacitor, especially when several are beginning to fail at the same time in a piece of equipment (due, for example, to high demands imposed by the circuit design, such as in a switchmode power supply), necessitating "re-capping" (i.e. replacing many capacitors after disconnecting the power and waiting for lethal charge to dissipate).

n

v
(transitive, graphics) To convert (the samples provided by the mosaic-like colour filter array of a digital camera) into a full-colour image.
n

n
Any device that recombines something previously separated, such as gases or light beams.
v
(engineering) To extract the fissile material (mainly uranium and plutonium) remaining in spent nuclear reactor fuel, allowing it to be recycled into fresh nuclear fuel or (for plutonium and/or uranium-233 from some specialized breeder reactors) used to build nuclear weapons; may also extend to recovering nonfissile but fertile elements remaining in spent reactor fuel (such as thorium), or precious metals produced as fission products.
v
(transitive) To mix with water, so that a true chemical combination takes place.
n
