https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harary%27s%20generalized%20tic-tac-toe | Harary's generalized tic-tac-toe or animal tic-tac-toe is a generalization of the game tic-tac-toe, defining the game as a race to complete a particular polyomino on a square grid of varying size, rather than being limited to "in a row" constructions. It was devised by Frank Harary in March 1977, and is a broader defi... |

Using sigma summation notation the sum of the first m terms of the series can be expressed as
The infinite series diverges, meaning that its sequence of partial sums, , does not tend tow... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion%20ratio | The motion ratio of a mechanism is the ratio of the displacement of the point of interest to that of another point.
The most common example is in a vehicle's suspension, where it is used to describe the displacement and forces in the springs and shock absorbers. The force in the spring is (roughly) the vertical force ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P25%20ISSI | The Project 25 Inter RF Subsystem Interface (P25 ISSI) is a non-proprietary interface that enables RF subsystems (RFSSs) built by different manufacturers to be connected together into wide area networks so that users on different networks can talk with each other. The wide area network connections using the ISSI provid... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision-to-decision%20path | A decision-to-decision path, or DD-path, is a path of execution (usually through a flow graph representing a program, such as a flow chart) between two decisions. More recent versions of the concept also include the decisions themselves in their own DD-paths.
