https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead%E2%80%93Conway%20VLSI%20chip%20design%20revolution | The Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution, or Mead and Conway revolution, was a very-large-scale integration (VLSI) design revolution starting in 1978 which resulted in a worldwide restructuring of academic materials in computer science and electrical engineering education, and was paramount for the development of in... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicide | The term salicide refers to a technology used in the microelectronics industry used to form electrical contacts between the semiconductor device and the supporting interconnect structure. The salicide process involves the reaction of a metal thin film with silicon in the active regions of the device, ultimately formin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor%20soft%20starter | A motor soft starter is a device used with AC electrical motors to temporarily reduce the load and torque in the powertrain and electric current surge of the motor during start-up. This reduces the mechanical stress on the motor and shaft, as well as the electrodynamic stresses on the attached power cables and electric... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work%20output | In physics, work output is the work done by a simple machine, compound machine, or any type of engine model. In common terms, it is the energy output, which for simple machines is always less than the energy input, even though the forces may be drastically different.
In [thermodynamics], work output can refer to the t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letters%20to%20a%20Young%20Mathematician | Letters to a Young Mathematician () is a 2006 book by Ian Stewart, and is part of Basic Books' Art of Mentoring series. Stewart mentions in the preface that he considers this book an update to G.H. Hardy's A Mathematician's Apology.
The book is made up of letters to a fictional correspondent of Stewart's, an aspiring... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation%20%28histology%29 | In the fields of histology, pathology, and cell biology, fixation is the preservation of biological tissues from decay due to autolysis or putrefaction. It terminates any ongoing biochemical reactions and may also increase the treated tissues' mechanical strength or stability. Tissue fixation is a critical step in the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarjan%27s%20algorithm | Tarjan's algorithm may refer to one of several algorithms attributed to Robert Tarjan, including:
Tarjan's strongly connected components algorithm
Tarjan's off-line lowest common ancestors algorithm
Tarjan's algorithm for finding bridges in an undirected graph
Tarjan's algorithm for finding simple circuits in a di... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TypeScript | TypeScript is a free and open-source high-level programming language developed by Microsoft that adds static typing with optional type annotations to JavaScript. It is designed for the development of large applications and transpiles to JavaScript. Because TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, all JavaScript programs... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletting | Bletting is a process of softening that certain fleshy fruits undergo, beyond ripening. There are some fruits that are either sweeter after some bletting, such as sea buckthorn, or for which most varieties can be eaten raw only after bletting, such as medlars, persimmons, quince, service tree fruit, and wild service tr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public%20Netbase | Public Netbase was a cultural media initiative, open access internet platform, media art space, and advocate for the development of electronic art.
Early development
Public Netbase was founded by Konrad Becker and Francisco de Sousa Webber in Vienna's Messepalast (later renamed to Museumsquartier) in 1994 as a non-pro... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar%20model%20articulation%20controller | The cerebellar model arithmetic computer (CMAC) is a type of neural network based on a model of the mammalian cerebellum. It is also known as the cerebellar model articulation controller. It is a type of associative memory.
The CMAC was first proposed as a function modeler for robotic controllers by James Albus in 197... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocontainment%20of%20genetically%20modified%20organisms | Since the advent of genetic engineering in the 1970s, concerns have been raised about the dangers of the technology. Laws, regulations, and treaties were created in the years following to contain genetically modified organisms and prevent their escape. Nevertheless, there are several examples of failure to keep GM cr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPX%20filter | MPX filter is a function found in analogue stereo FM broadcasting and personal monitor equipment, FM tuners and cassette decks. An MPX filter is, at least, a notch filter blocking the 19 kHz pilot tone, and possibly higher frequencies in the 23-53kHz and 63-75kHz bands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High%20frequency%20content%20measure | In signal processing, the high frequency content measure is a simple measure, taken across a signal spectrum (usually a STFT spectrum), that can be used to characterize the amount of high-frequency content in the signal. The magnitudes of the spectral bins are added together, but multiplying each magnitude by the bin "... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective%20number%20of%20bits | Effective number of bits (ENOB) is a measure of the dynamic range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), digital-to-analog converter, or their associated circuitry. The resolution of an ADC is specified by the number of bits used to represent the analog value. Ideally, a 12-bit ADC will have an effective number of bi... |
