https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric%20stereo | Parametric stereo (abbreviated as PS) is an audio compression algorithm used as an audio coding format for digital audio. It is considered an Audio Object Type of MPEG-4 Part 3 (MPEG-4 Audio) that serves to enhance the coding efficiency of low bandwidth stereo audio media. Parametric Stereo digitally codes a stereo aud... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated%20Encryption%20Scheme | Integrated Encryption Scheme (IES) is a hybrid encryption scheme which provides semantic security against an adversary who is able to use chosen-plaintext or chosen-ciphertext attacks. The security of the scheme is based on the computational Diffie–Hellman problem.
Two variants of IES are specified: Discrete Logarithm ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discontinuous%20linear%20map | In mathematics, linear maps form an important class of "simple" functions which preserve the algebraic structure of linear spaces and are often used as approximations to more general functions (see linear approximation). If the spaces involved are also topological spaces (that is, topological vector spaces), then it m... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWR%20meter | The standing wave ratio meter, SWR meter, ISWR meter (current "" SWR), or VSWR meter (voltage SWR) measures the standing wave ratio (SWR) in a transmission line. The meter indirectly measures the degree of mismatch between a transmission line and its load (usually an antenna). Electronics technicians use it to adjust ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaman | Metaman: The Merging of Humans and Machines into a Global Superorganism () is a 1993 book by author Gregory Stock. The title refers to a superorganism comprising humanity and its technology.
While many people have had ideas about a global brain, they have tended to suppose that this can be improved or altered by hum... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phycobiliprotein | Phycobiliproteins are water-soluble proteins present in cyanobacteria and certain algae (rhodophytes, cryptomonads, glaucocystophytes). They capture light energy, which is then passed on to chlorophylls during photosynthesis. Phycobiliproteins are formed of a complex between proteins and covalently bound phycobilins t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoteichoic%20acid | Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a major constituent of the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria. These organisms have an inner (or cytoplasmic) membrane and, external to it, a thick (up to 80 nanometer) peptidoglycan layer. The structure of LTA varies between the different species of Gram-positive bacteria and may contain l... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Sword%20of%20Damocles%20%28virtual%20reality%29 | The Sword of Damocles was the name for an early virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display and tracking system. It is widely considered to be the first augmented reality HMD system, although Morton Heilig had already created a stereoscopic head-mounted viewing apparatus without head tracking (known as "Stereoscopic-Te... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binet%E2%80%93Cauchy%20identity | In algebra, the Binet–Cauchy identity, named after Jacques Philippe Marie Binet and Augustin-Louis Cauchy, states that
for every choice of real or complex numbers (or more generally, elements of a commutative ring).
Setting and , it gives Lagrange's identity, which is a stronger version of the Cauchy–Schwarz inequali... |
