https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-to-noise%20ratio | In telecommunications, the carrier-to-noise ratio, often written CNR or C/N, is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a modulated signal. The term is used to distinguish the CNR of the radio frequency passband signal from the SNR of an analog base band message signal after demodulation. For example, with FM radio, the str... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise%20syndetic%20set | In mathematics, piecewise syndeticity is a notion of largeness of subsets of the natural numbers.
A set is called piecewise syndetic if there exists a finite subset G of such that for every finite subset F of there exists an such that
where . Equivalently, S is piecewise syndetic if there is a constant b such tha... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vop%C4%9Bnka%27s%20principle | In mathematics, Vopěnka's principle is a large cardinal axiom.
The intuition behind the axiom is that the set-theoretical universe is so large that in every proper class, some members are similar to others, with this similarity formalized through elementary embeddings.
Vopěnka's principle was first introduced by Petr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrik%20Wade%20Bode | Hendrik Wade Bode ( ; ; December 24, 1905 – June 21, 1982) was an American engineer, researcher, inventor, author and scientist, of Dutch ancestry. As a pioneer of modern control theory and electronic telecommunications he revolutionized both the content and methodology of his chosen fields of research. His synergy wit... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator%20series | In mathematics, the Mercator series or Newton–Mercator series is the Taylor series for the natural logarithm:
In summation notation,
The series converges to the natural logarithm (shifted by 1) whenever .
History
The series was discovered independently by Johannes Hudde and Isaac Newton. It was first published by N... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental%20unit%20%28number%20theory%29 | In algebraic number theory, a fundamental unit is a generator (modulo the roots of unity) for the unit group of the ring of integers of a number field, when that group has rank 1 (i.e. when the unit group modulo its torsion subgroup is infinite cyclic). Dirichlet's unit theorem shows that the unit group has rank 1 exac... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectro-temporal%20receptive%20field | The spectro-temporal receptive field or spatio-temporal receptive field (STRF) of a neuron represents which types of stimuli excite or inhibit that neuron. "Spectro-temporal" refers most commonly to audition, where the neuron's response depends on frequency versus time, while "spatio-temporal" refers to vision, where ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor%20retinaculum%20of%20the%20hand | The flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament, or anterior annular ligament) is a fibrous band on the palmar side of the hand near the wrist. It arches over the carpal bones of the hands, covering them and forming the carpal tunnel.
