antileak: valve used in the oil tank of aircraft reciprocating engines that have dry-sump lubrication systems
Category: Mechanical engineering

earth-leak: a sensitive ground fault interrupter which rapidly breaks any circuit in the event of quite small currents leaking to earth
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

leak: an unintended hole or fissure in a vessel containing or immersed in a fluid, which lets the fluid pass into or out of the vessel; i.e. the ingress of water into the hull of a ship, caused by damage to the hull plating, or defects in watertight closures such as deck hatches or side scuttles; or the escape of oil cargo into the sea through damaged hull plating

leak: minute hole through which liquid or gas escapes into or out of a vessel
Category: Mechanical engineering

leakage: flow leaking past seals doing no useful work
Category: Mechanical engineering

leakage: the escape of radiation through a shield,especially by way of holes or cracks through the shield
Category: Nuclear industry (with applied atomic and nuclear physics)

leakage: of an aerostat.The loss of gas from an envelope or gas bag,from diffusion,effusion,transpiration or escape into the air through the neck of the balloon
Category: Physics

leakage: inward or outward flow of air as a result of permeability of the building fabric
Category: Building industry

leakage: of cations or anions is the passage of those ions through the resin bed as a result of channeling or poor kinetics.It may also result from elution of ions not removed from bed in preceding regeneration cycle
Category: Nuclear industry (with applied atomic and nuclear physics)

leakage: the net loss of neutrons from a region of a reactor by escape across the boundaries of the region
Category: Nuclear industry (with applied atomic and nuclear physics)

leaker: a term applied in American foundries to iron castings which have failed to meet liquid or gas pressure tests

leaky: ray for which geometric optics would predict total internal reflection at the core boundary,but which suffers loss by virtue of the curved core boundary
Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

leaky: mode whose field decays monotonically for a finite distance in the transverse direction but which becomes oscillatory everywhere beyond that finite distance
Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

leaky: a form of flow control that checks an arriving data stream against the traffic-shaping parameters specified by the sender.Cells arriving at a switch are placed in a 'bucket'(memory buffer),which is allowed to fill up but not overflow.The bucket is 'leaky' in that it allows cells to flow out to their destinations,allowing more to be added.Incoming cells that would cause the bucket to overflow are considered 'nonconforming'(exceeding bandwidth allocations)and are dropped
Category: News-systems and communications

low-leakage: single layer wafer with low leakage current through epitaxy layer
Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)
