https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time%20base%20correction | Time base correction (TBC) is a technique to reduce or eliminate errors caused by mechanical instability present in analog recordings on mechanical media.
Without time base correction, a signal from a videotape recorder (VTR) or videocassette recorder (VCR) cannot be mixed with other, more time-stable devices found in... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray-tracing%20hardware | Ray-tracing hardware is special-purpose computer hardware designed for accelerating ray tracing calculations.
Introduction: Ray tracing and rasterization
The problem of rendering 3D graphics can be conceptually presented as finding all intersections between a set of "primitives" (typically triangles or polygons) and a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE%201901 | The IEEE 1901 Standard, established in 2010, set the first worldwide benchmark for powerline communication tailored for uses like multimedia home networks, audio-video, and the smart grid. This standard underwent an amendment in IEEE 1901a-2019, introducing improvements to the HD-PLC physical layer (wavelet) for Intern... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration%20Menu%20Language | Configuration Menu Language (CML) was used, in Linux kernel versions prior to 2.5.45, to configure the values that determine the composition and exact functionality of the kernel. Many possible variations in kernel functionality can exist; and customization is possible, for instance for the specifications of the exact ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostanoid | Prostanoids are active lipid mediators that regulate inflammatory response. Prostanoids are a subclass of eicosanoids consisting of the prostaglandins (mediators of inflammatory and anaphylactic reactions), the thromboxanes (mediators of vasoconstriction), and the prostacyclins (active in the resolution phase of inflam... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treebog | A treebog is a type of low-tech compost toilet. It consists of a raised platform above a compost pile surrounded by densely planted willow trees or other nutrient-hungry vegetation. It can be considered an example of permaculture design, as it functions as a system for converting urine and feces to biomass, without t... |
