https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLV | KLV (Key-Length-Value) is a data encoding standard, often used to embed information in video feeds. The standard uses a type–length–value encoding scheme. Items are encoded into Key-Length-Value triplets, where key identifies the data, length specifies the data's length, and value is the data itself. It is defined in ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction%20field%20computing | Construction field computing is the use of handheld devices that augment the construction superintendent's ability to manage the operations on a construction site. These information appliances (IA) must be portable devices which can be carried or worn by the user, and have computational and connectivity capacity to per... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic%20inductance | Kinetic inductance is the manifestation of the inertial mass of mobile charge carriers in alternating electric fields as an equivalent series inductance. Kinetic inductance is observed in high carrier mobility conductors (e.g. superconductors) and at very high frequencies.
Explanation
A change in electromotive forc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali-metal%20thermal%20to%20electric%20converter | An alkali-metal thermal-to-electric converter (AMTEC, originally called the sodium heat engine or SHE) is a thermally regenerative electrochemical device for the direct conversion of heat to electrical energy. It is characterized by high potential efficiencies and no moving parts except for the working fluid, which mak... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supine%20position | The supine position ( or ) means lying horizontally with the face and torso facing up, as opposed to the prone position, which is face down. When used in surgical procedures, it grants access to the peritoneal, thoracic and pericardial regions; as well as the head, neck and extremities.
Using anatomical terms of locat... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex%20Hadamard%20matrix | A complex Hadamard matrix is any complex
matrix satisfying two conditions:
unimodularity (the modulus of each entry is unity):
orthogonality: ,
where denotes the Hermitian transpose of and is the identity matrix. The concept is a generalization of the Hadamard matrix. Note that any complex Hadamard matrix c... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit%20programming | Tacit programming, also called point-free style, is a programming paradigm in which function definitions do not identify the arguments (or "points") on which they operate. Instead the definitions merely compose other functions, among which are combinators that manipulate the arguments. Tacit programming is of theoretic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chine%20%28boating%29 | A chine in boat design is a sharp change in angle in the cross section of a hull. The chine typically arises from the use of sheet materials (such as sheet metal or marine ply) as the mode of construction.
Rationale of chines
Using sheet materials in boat construction is cheap and simple, but whereas these sheet mater... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramme%20machine | A Gramme machine, Gramme ring, Gramme magneto, or Gramme dynamo is an electrical generator that produces direct current, named for its Belgian inventor, Zénobe Gramme, and was built as either a dynamo or a magneto. It was the first generator to produce power on a commercial scale for industry. Inspired by a machine in... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse%20transition%20detector | A Pulse transition detector is used in flip flops in order to achieve edge triggering in the circuit. It merely converts the clock signal's rising edge to a very narrow pulse.
The PTD consists of a delay gate (which delays the clock signal) and the clock signal itself passed through a NAND gate and then inverted.
The... |
