https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop%20%28electronics%29 | In electronics, flip-flops and latches are circuits that have two stable states that can store state information – a bistable multivibrator. The circuit can be made to change state by signals applied to one or more control inputs and will output its state (often along with its logical complement too). It is the basic s... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofing%20%28baking%20technique%29 | In cooking, proofing (also called proving) is a step in the preparation of yeast bread and other baked goods in which the dough is allowed to rest and rise a final time before baking. During this rest period, yeast ferments the dough and produces gases, thereby leavening the dough.
In contrast, proofing or blooming ye... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metals%20in%20medicine | Metals in medicine are used in organic systems for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Inorganic elements are also essential for organic life as cofactors in enzymes called metalloproteins. When metals are scarce or high quantities, equilibrium is set out of balance and must be returned to its natural state via interven... |
