When the laser strikes an area containing a short circuit, localized heating occurs.

A tropical eruption that pumps aerosol into the stratosphere results in localized heating.

Thermal lows form due to localized heating caused by greater sunshine over deserts and other land masses.

This allows the laser to generate photo carriers in the silicon without resulting in localized heating of the device.

Instead, it relies on localized heating and metal-ligand interactions.

Some modern blacksmiths may also employ an oxyacetylene or similar blowtorch for more localized heating.

Failure of the mixer can result in localized heating, which initiates thermal runaway.

A beam is focused on the surface causing localized heating and thermal expansion.

Permanent damage to the magnet is rare, but components can be damaged by localized heating, high voltages, or large mechanical forces.

Improved diagnostic measurements along with localized heating and current drive sources, now becoming available, will allow active feedback control of the internal profiles in the near future.
