If κ is a supercompact cardinal, a Laver function is a function ƒ:κ → Vκ such that for every set x and every cardinal λ ≥ |TC(x)| + κ there is a supercompact measu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zax%20%28Duke%20Power%29 | Zax is an animated mascot character featured in 1980s public service announcements for Charlotte, North Carolina electric power company Duke Power. The character, introduced in 1984, was designed to appeal to children, and educate them about the dangers of electricity, and how to use energy more efficiently. Zax's voic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%E2%80%93sigma%20relation | The M–sigma (or M–σ) relation is an empirical correlation between the stellar velocity dispersion σ of a galaxy bulge and the mass M of the supermassive black hole at its center.
The M–σ relation was first presented in 1999 during a conference at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris in France. The proposed form of th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-deleting%20theorem | In physics, the no-deleting theorem of quantum information theory is a no-go theorem which states that, in general, given two copies of some arbitrary quantum state, it is impossible to delete one of the copies. It is a time-reversed dual to the no-cloning theorem, which states that arbitrary states cannot be copied. ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative%20cooling | Regenerative cooling is a method of cooling gases in which compressed gas is cooled by allowing it to expand and thereby take heat from the surroundings. The cooled expanded gas then passes through a heat exchanger where it cools the incoming compressed gas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BATCO | BATCO, short for Battle Code, is a hand-held, paper-based encryption system used at a low, front line (platoon, troop and section) level in the British Army. It was introduced along with the Clansman combat net radio in the early 1980s and was largely obsolete by 2010 due to the wide deployment of the secure Bowman rad... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARG04 | SARG04 (named after Valerio Scarani, Antonio Acín, Gregoire Ribordy, and Nicolas Gisin) is a 2004 quantum cryptography protocol derived from the first protocol of that kind, BB84.
Origin
Researchers built SARG04 when they noticed that by using the four states of BB84 with a different information encoding they could d... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20quantum%20key%20distribution%20protocols | Quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols are used in quantum key distribution. The first protocol of that kind was BB84, introduced in 1984 by Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard. After that, many other protocols have been defined.
