https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-to-metal%20seal | Glass-to-metal seals are a type of mechanical seal which joins glass and metal surfaces. They are very important elements in the construction of vacuum tubes, electric discharge tubes, incandescent light bulbs, glass-encapsulated semiconductor diodes, reed switches, glass windows in metal cases, and metal or ceramic pa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper%20zero-signal%20collector%20current | Consider an NPN transistor circuit. During the positive half-cycle of the signal, the base is positive with respect to the emitter and hence the base-emitter junction is forward biased. This causes a base current and much larger collector current to flow. The positive half-cycle of the signal is amplified in the coll... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone%20%28formal%20languages%29 | In formal language theory, a cone is a set of formal languages that has some desirable closure properties enjoyed by some well-known sets of languages, in particular by the families of regular languages, context-free languages and the recursively enumerable languages. The concept of a cone is a more abstract notion tha... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semimodular%20lattice | In the branch of mathematics known as order theory, a semimodular lattice, is a lattice that satisfies the following condition:
Semimodular law a ∧ b <: a implies b <: a ∨ b.
The notation a <: b means that b covers a, i.e. a < b and there is no element c such that a < c < b.
An atomistic semimodular bounded la... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20prehistoric%20bryozoan%20genera | This list of prehistoric bryozoans is an attempt to create a comprehensive listing of all genera that have ever been included in the bryozoa which are known from the fossil record. This list excludes purely vernacular terms. It includes all commonly accepted genera, but also genera that are now considered invalid, doub... |
