Under need-to-know restrictions, even if one has all the necessary official approvals (such as a security clearance) t...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects%20loop
An effects loop is a series of audio effects units, connected between two points of a signal path (the route that a signal would travel from the input to the output); usually between the pre-amp and power amp stages of an amplifier circuit, although occasionally between two pre-amp stages. The two principal uses of eff...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glue%20logic
In electronics, glue logic is the custom logic circuitry used to interface a number of off-the-shelf integrated circuits. This is often achieved using common, inexpensive 7400- or 4000-series components. In more complex cases, a programmable logic device like a CPLD or FPGA might be used. The falling price of programma...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper%20frame
A proper frame, or comoving frame, is a frame of reference that is attached to an object. The object in this frame is stationary within the frame, which is useful for many types of calculations. For example, a freely falling elevator is a proper frame for a free-falling object in the elevator, while the surface of the...
