https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Basset%20%28writer%29 | John Basset (17 November 1791 – 4 July 1843) was a writer on Cornish mining. He was deeply interested in Cornish mining, mining technology and economics.
Born at Illogan in Cornwall, he published an article in 1840 drawing attention to the devices called "Man Engines" for mechanically raising and lowering mine workers... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic%20clarigester | The anaerobic clarigester is a form of anaerobic digester. It is regarded as being the ancestor of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket digestion (UASB) anaerobic digester. A clarigester treats dilute biodegradable feedstocks and separates out solid and hydraulic (liquid) retention times. A diagram comparing the UASB, a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew%20Donald%20Booth | Andrew Donald Booth (11 February 1918 – 29 November 2009) was a British electrical engineer, physicist and computer scientist, who was an early developer of the magnetic drum memory for computers. He is known for Booth's multiplication algorithm. In his later career in Canada he became president of Lakehead University.... |

The SAWE
The Society of Allied Weight Engineers is an international organization whose primary purpose is to promote the recognition of “Mass Properties Engineering” as a specia... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer%20Aided%20Verification | In computer science, the International Conference on Computer-Aided Verification (CAV) is an annual academic conference on the theory and practice of computer-aided formal analysis of software and hardware systems, broadly known as formal methods. It is one of the highest-ranked conferences in computer science. Among t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boucherot%20cell | This article relates to loudspeaker driving. See Zobel network for a more general description of telecommunications usage.
A Boucherot cell (or Zobel network) is an electronic filter, used in audio amplifiers to damp high-frequency oscillations that might occur in the absence of loads at high frequencies. Named after... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal%20contact%20conductance | In physics, thermal contact conductance is the study of heat conduction between solid or liquid bodies in thermal contact. The thermal contact conductance coefficient, , is a property indicating the thermal conductivity, or ability to conduct heat, between two bodies in contact. The inverse of this property is termed t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed%20temperature%20sensing | Distributed temperature sensing systems (DTS) are optoelectronic devices which measure temperatures by means of optical fibres functioning as linear sensors. Temperatures are recorded along the optical sensor cable, thus not at points, but as a continuous profile. A high accuracy of temperature determination is achieve... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max-min%20fairness | In communication networks, multiplexing and the division of scarce resources, max-min fairness is said to be achieved by an allocation if and only if the allocation is feasible and an attempt to increase the allocation of any participant necessarily results in the decrease in the allocation of some other participant wi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover-coding | Cover-coding is a technique for obscuring the data that is transmitted over an insecure link, to reduce the risks of snooping. An example of cover-coding would be for the sender to perform a bitwise XOR (exclusive OR) of the original data with a password or random number which is known to both sender and receiver. Th... |
