Noise, commonly known as static, white noise, static noise, or snow, in analog video and television, is a random dot pixel pattern of static displayed when no transmission signal is obtained by the antenna receiver of television sets and other display devices. Description The random pixel pattern is superimposed on th...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio%20noise
In radio reception, radio noise (commonly referred to as radio static) is unwanted random radio frequency electrical signals, fluctuating voltages, always present in a radio receiver in addition to the desired radio signal. Radio noise near in frequency to the radio signal being received (in the receiver's passband) in...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic%20switched-transport%20network
Automatic Switched Transport Network (ASTN) allows traffic paths to be set up through a switched network automatically. The term ASTN replaces the term ASON (Automatically Switched Optical Network) and is often used interchangeably with GMPLS (Generalized MPLS). This is not completely correct as GMPLS is a family of p...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signcryption
In cryptography, signcryption is a public-key primitive that simultaneously performs the functions of both digital signature and encryption. Encryption and digital signature are two fundamental cryptographic tools that can guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation. Until 1997, they were viewed as i...

In Euclidean geometry, the medial triangle or midpoint triangle of a triangle is the triangle with vertices at the midpoints of the triangle's sides . It is the case of the midpoint polygon of a polygon with sides. The medial triangle is not the same thing as the median triangle, which is the triangle whose sides h...

In computer science, Raptor codes (rapid tornado; see Tornado codes) are the first known class of fountain codes with linear time encoding and decoding. They were invented by Amin Shokrollahi in 2000/2001 and were first published in 2004 as an extended abstract. Raptor codes are a significant theoretical and practical...

Spatial–temporal reasoning is an area of artificial intelligence that draws from the fields of computer science, cognitive science, and cognitive psychology. The theoretic goal—on the cognitive side—involves representing and reasoning spatial-temporal knowledge in mind. The applied goal—on the computing side—involves d...
