It is the base for other grid middleware distributions used by scientific research communities and distributed computing infrastructures all o...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeson%27s%20equation
Leeson's equation is an empirical expression that describes an oscillator's phase noise spectrum. Leeson's expression for single-sideband (SSB) phase noise in dBc/Hz (decibels relative to output level per hertz) and augmented for flicker noise: where is the output frequency, is the loaded quality factor, is the of...

Photoimageable thick-film technology is a combination of conventional thick film technology with elements of thin film technology, and it provides a low cost solution to producing high quality microwave circuits. The ability to directly photoimage the printed layers means that the technology can provide the high line a...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-outline%20transistor
A small outline transistor (SOT) is a family of small footprint, discrete surface mount transistor commonly used in consumer electronics. The most common SOT are SOT23 variations,. SOT23-3 differs from SOT23 in a wider body of 1.6mm instead on 1.3mm, also manufacturers offer the nearly identical thin small outline tra...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rtelnet
RTelnet is a SOCKS client version of telnet in Unix-like systems. The RTelnet utility provides similar functionality of telnet to those hosts which are behind a firewall. Normally, firewalls are designed to permit or deny network transmissions based upon a set of rules. Network accessibility across the firewall is re...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20computer%20clusters
The history of computer clusters is best captured by a footnote in Greg Pfister's In Search of Clusters: "Virtually every press release from DEC mentioning clusters says ‘DEC, who invented clusters...’. IBM did not invent them either. Customers invented clusters, as soon as they could not fit all their work on one comp...
