https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liouville%27s%20theorem%20%28conformal%20mappings%29 | In mathematics, Liouville's theorem, proved by Joseph Liouville in 1850, is a rigidity theorem about conformal mappings in Euclidean space. It states that any smooth conformal mapping on a domain of Rn, where n > 2, can be expressed as a composition of translations, similarities, orthogonal transformations and inversio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi%20coordinates | Vivaldi Coordinate System is a decentralized Network Coordinate System, that allows for distributed systems such as peer-to-peer networks to estimate round-trip time (RTT) between arbitrary nodes in a network.
Through this scheme, network topology awareness can be used to tune the network behavior to more efficiently ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory%20ProteXion | For computer memory, Memory ProteXion, found in IBM xSeries servers, is a form of "redundant bit steering". This technology uses redundant bits in a data packet to recover from a DIMM failure.
Memory ProteXion is different from normal ECC error correction in that it uses only 6 bits for ECC, leaving 2 bits behind. The... |
