Communication runs at 250 kilobits-per-second and allows any sensor to talk to any display unit or other device compatible with... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash%20%28engineering%29 | In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debugfs | debugfs is a special file system available in the Linux kernel since version 2.6.10-rc3. It was written by Greg Kroah-Hartman.
debugfs is a simple-to-use RAM-based file system specially designed for debugging purposes. It exists as a simple way for kernel developers to make information available to user space. Unlike... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV%20Network%20Protocol | The TV Network Protocol or TVNP as it is more commonly referred to is an open network protocol developed to enable CCTV systems from any manufacturer to be integrated into an existing CCTV network. It provides high levels of support for audio routing, video routing and camera control.
The protocol was developed by Phi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular%20axis%20theorem | The perpendicular axis theorem (or plane figure theorem) states that the moment of inertia of a planar lamina (i.e. 2-D body) about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the lamina is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia of the lamina about the two axes at right angles to each other, in its own plane intersecting... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive%20voltage | Overdrive voltage, usually abbreviated as VOV, is typically referred to in the context of MOSFET transistors. The overdrive voltage is defined as the voltage between transistor gate and source (VGS) in excess of the threshold voltage (VTH) where VTH is defined as the minimum voltage required between gate and source to... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation%20principle | In control theory, a separation principle, more formally known as a principle of separation of estimation and control, states that under some assumptions the problem of designing an optimal feedback controller for a stochastic system can be solved by designing an optimal observer for the state of the system, which feed... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot%20zone%20%28environment%29 | Hot zone, also written as hot-zone or hotzone, refers to an area or region that is significantly affected by environmental hazards or risks. It may refer to a location where there is high pollution, contamination, or a concentration of hazardous substances or activities.
Etymology
The term hot zone was likely coined ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgers%20vector | In materials science, the Burgers vector, named after Dutch physicist Jan Burgers, is a vector, often denoted as , that represents the magnitude and direction of the lattice distortion resulting from a dislocation in a crystal lattice.
The vector's magnitude and direction is best understood when the dislocation-bearin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal%20sets | The causal sets program is an approach to quantum gravity. Its founding principles are that spacetime is fundamentally discrete (a collection of discrete spacetime points, called the elements of the causal set) and that spacetime events are related by a partial order. This partial order has the physical meaning of the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coiled%20tubing | In the oil and gas industry, coiled tubing refers to a long metal pipe, normally in diameter which is supplied spooled on a large reel. It is used for interventions in oil and gas wells and sometimes as production tubing in depleted gas wells. Coiled tubing is often used to carry out operations similar to wirelining. ... |
