The 3 μm process is the level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was reached around 1977, by leading semiconductor companies such as Intel. Products featuring 3 μm manufacturing process Intel's 8085, 8086, 8088 CPU's launched in 1976, 1978, 1979, respectively, were manufactured using its 3.2 μm NMOS (HMO...

The 10 μm process (10 micron smallest dimension) is the level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was commercially reached around 1971, by leading semiconductor companies such as RCA and Intel. Products featuring 10 μm manufacturing process RCA's CD4000 series of integrated circuits began with a 20μm proc...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZJ%20theorem
In mathematics, George Glauberman's ZJ theorem states that if a finite group G is p-constrained and p-stable and has a normal p-subgroup for some odd prime p, then O(G)Z(J(S)) is a normal subgroup of G, for any Sylow p-subgroup S. Notation and definitions J(S) is the Thompson subgroup of a p-group S: the subgroup gene...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag%20crisis
In fluid dynamics, drag crisis (also known as the Eiffel paradox) is a phenomenon in which drag coefficient drops off suddenly as Reynolds number increases. This has been well studied for round bodies like spheres and cylinders. The drag coefficient of a sphere will change rapidly from about 0.5 to 0.2 at a Reynolds nu...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreferenced%20variable
An unreferenced variable in the source code of a computer program is a variable that is defined but which is never used. This may result in a harmless waste of memory. Many compilers detect such variables and do not allocate storage for them (i.e., "optimize away" their storage), generally also issuing a warning as t...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%27s%20matchbox%20problem
Banach's match problem is a classic problem in probability attributed to Stefan Banach. Feller says that the problem was inspired by a humorous reference to Banach's smoking habit in a speech honouring him by Hugo Steinhaus, but that it was not Banach who set the problem or provided an answer. Suppose a mathematicia...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell-free%20system
A cell-free system is an in vitro tool widely used to study biological reactions that happen within cells apart from a full cell system, thus reducing the complex interactions typically found when working in a whole cell. Subcellular fractions can be isolated by ultracentrifugation to provide molecular machinery that c...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterility%20assurance%20level
In microbiology, sterility assurance level (SAL) is the probability that a single unit that has been subjected to sterilization nevertheless remains nonsterile. It is never possible to prove that all organisms have been destroyed, as the likelihood of survival of an individual microorganism is never zero. So SAL is us...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Go%20Game
The Go Game is a competitive game put on by a San Francisco company of the same name. Players race through the game zone solving clues and performing tasks with the aid of a cell phone and digital camera in an effort to earn the most points. The Go Game advertises itself as “the future of corporate play,” and was voted...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OmniPop
OmniPop is a program used to class populations by autosomal DNA results. It is a Microsoft Excel file and requires Excel to run. The program is recognized and used by NIST for the purpose of clustering autosomal markers and is also suggested by commercial genealogical genetics companies to their customers for use in un...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory%20compensation
Respiratory compensation is the modulation by the brainstem respiratory centers, which involves altering alveolar ventilation to try and bring the plasma pH back to its normal value (7.4) in order to keep the acid-base balance in the body. It usually occurs within minutes to hours and is much faster than renal compensa...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophysics
Thermophysics is the application of thermodynamics to geophysics and to planetary science more broadly. It may also be used to refer to the field of thermodynamic and transport properties. Remote sensing Earth thermophysics is a branch of geophysics that uses the naturally occurring surface temperature as a function ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallic%20Rock
Phallic Rock is a precambrian granite rock formation in Carefree, Arizona, United States. The formation is caused by spheroidal weathering whereby the composition of the granite and its crystal structure facilitated the development of rounded corners and its unique phallic tubular shape. The formation is at the eastern...
