History
Born in Africa, likely somewhere between present-day Liberia and Benin, Fuller was enslaved and shipped to America 1724 at the age of 14. He became t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media%20dispenser | A media dispenser or a culture media dispenser is a device for repeatedly delivering small fixed volumes (typically between 1 ml and 50 ml) of liquid such as a laboratory growth medium like molten agar or caustic or volatile solvents like toluene into a series of receptacles (Petri dishes, test tubes, Fernbach flasks, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Fi%20Consortium | The Li-Fi Consortium is an international organization focusing on optical wireless technologies.
It was founded by four technology-based organizations in October 2011. The goal of the Li-Fi Consortium is to foster the development and distribution of (Li-Fi) optical wireless technologies such as communication, navigati... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max/min%20CSP/Ones%20classification%20theorems | In computational complexity theory, a branch of computer science, the Max/min CSP/Ones classification theorems state necessary and sufficient conditions that determine the complexity classes of problems about satisfying a subset S of boolean relations. They are similar to Schaefer's dichotomy theorem, which classifies ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space%20toilet | A space toilet or zero-gravity toilet is a toilet that can be used in a weightless environment. In the absence of weight, the collection and retention of liquid and solid waste is directed by use of airflow. Since the air used to direct the waste is returned to the cabin, it is filtered beforehand to control odor and c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer%20%28hardware%29 | A programmer, device programmer, chip programmer, device burner, or PROM writer is a piece of electronic equipment that arranges written software or firmware to configure programmable non-volatile integrated circuits, called programmable devices. The target devices include PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, Flash memory, eMMC, MRAM,... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid%20designator | In modal logic and the philosophy of language, a term is said to be a rigid designator or absolute substantial term when it designates (picks out, denotes, refers to) the same thing in all possible worlds in which that thing exists. A designator is persistently rigid if it also designates nothing in all other possible ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%3A144%20scale | 1:144 scale is a scale used for some scale models such as micro/mini armor. 1:144 means that the dimensions of the model are 1/144 (0.00694) the dimensions of the original life-sized object; this equates to a scale of 1/2 inch per 6 feet of original dimension. For instance, an airplane in length would be a mere long ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling | Rolling is a type of motion that combines rotation (commonly, of an axially symmetric object) and translation of that object with respect to a surface (either one or the other moves), such that, if ideal conditions exist, the two are in contact with each other without sliding.
Rolling where there is no sliding is refe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open%20mapping%20theorem%20%28functional%20analysis%29 | In functional analysis, the open mapping theorem, also known as the Banach–Schauder theorem or the Banach theorem (named after Stefan Banach and Juliusz Schauder), is a fundamental result which states that if a bounded or continuous linear operator between Banach spaces is surjective then it is an open map.
