https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dbx%20Model%20700%20Digital%20Audio%20Processor | The dbx Model 700 Digital Audio Processor was a professional audio ADC/DAC combination unit, which digitized a stereo analog audio input into a bitstream, which was then encoded and encapsulated in an analog composite video signal, for recording to tape using a VCR as a transport. Unlike other similar pieces of equipme... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostBQP | In computational complexity theory, PostBQP is a complexity class consisting of all of the computational problems solvable in polynomial time on a quantum Turing machine with postselection and bounded error (in the sense that the algorithm is correct at least 2/3 of the time on all inputs).
Postselection is not consid... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britalus%20rotary%20engine | The Britalus rotary engine was invented in 1982 by Kenneth W. Porter, P.E., M.S.A.E, of King County, Washington. It operates on a modified Brayton cycle, but with continuous pulsed combustion, similar to that of a gas turbine. It can burn most commonly available hydrocarbon fuels and features the high compression ratio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic%20artifact | In sound and music production, sonic artifact, or simply artifact, refers to sonic material that is accidental or unwanted, resulting from the editing or manipulation of a sound.
Types
Because there are always technical restrictions in the way a sound can be recorded (in the case of acoustic sounds) or designed (in th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering%20ethics | Engineering ethics is the field of system of moral principles that apply to the practice of engineering. The field examines and sets the obligations by engineers to society, to their clients, and to the profession. As a scholarly discipline, it is closely related to subjects such as the philosophy of science, the philo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interconnect%20bottleneck | The interconnect bottleneck comprises limits on integrated circuit (IC) performance due to connections between components instead of their internal speed.
In 2006 it was predicted to be a "looming crisis" by 2010.
Improved performance of computer systems has been achieved, in large part, by downscaling the IC minimum... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W-algebra | In conformal field theory and representation theory, a W-algebra is an associative algebra that generalizes the Virasoro algebra. W-algebras were introduced by Alexander Zamolodchikov, and the name "W-algebra" comes from the fact that Zamolodchikov used the letter W for one of the elements of one of his examples.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA%20laddering | DNA laddering is a feature that can be observed when DNA fragments, resulting from Apoptosis DNA fragmentation are visualized after separation by gel electrophoresis the first described in 1980 by Andrew Wyllie at the University Edinburgh medical school DNA fragments can also be delected in cells that underwent necros... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermathematics | Supermathematics is the branch of mathematical physics which applies the mathematics of Lie superalgebras to the behaviour of bosons and fermions. The driving force in its formation in the 1960s and 1970s was Felix Berezin.
Objects of study include superalgebras (such as super Minkowski space and super-Poincaré algebr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical%20circle | In astronomy, a vertical circle is a great circle on the celestial sphere that is perpendicular to the horizon. Therefore, it contains the vertical direction, passing through the zenith and the nadir. There is a vertical circle for any given azimuth, where azimuth is the angle measured east from the north on the celest... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front%20panel | A front panel was used on early electronic computers to display and allow the alteration of the state of the machine's internal registers and memory. The front panel usually consisted of arrays of indicator lamps, digit and symbol displays, toggle switches, dials, and push buttons mounted on a sheet metal face plate. I... |
