https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutions%20of%20the%20Einstein%20field%20equations
Solutions of the Einstein field equations are metrics of spacetimes that result from solving the Einstein field equations (EFE) of general relativity. Solving the field equations gives a Lorentz manifold. Solutions are broadly classed as exact or non-exact. The Einstein field equations are where is the Einstein tens...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal%20LED
Crystal LED (CLED) refers to a screen manufacturing technique. It was invented by Sony and revealed at CES 2012. Overview This technology makes use of light emitting diodes mounted on each segment RGB of the display, such that each pixel is illuminated independently. This makes it the first "true" LED television. Hi...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set%20intersection%20oracle
A set intersection oracle (SIO) is a data structure which represents a collection of sets and can quickly answer queries about whether the set intersection of two given sets is non-empty. The input to the problem is n finite sets. The sum of the sizes of all sets is N (which also means that there are at most N distinc...
