https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perkel%20graph | In mathematics, the Perkel graph, named after Manley Perkel, is a 6-regular graph with 57 vertices and 171 edges. It is the unique distance-regular graph with intersection array (6, 5, 2; 1, 1, 3). The Perkel graph is also distance-transitive.
It is also the skeleton of an abstract regular polytope, the 57-cell. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear%20ion%20trap | The linear ion trap (LIT) is a type of ion trap mass spectrometer.
In a LIT, ions are confined radially by a two-dimensional radio frequency (RF) field, and axially by stopping potentials applied to end electrodes.
LITs have high injection efficiencies and high ion storage capacities.
History
One of the first LITs ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS%20disciplined%20oscillator | A GPS clock, or GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO), is a combination of a GPS receiver and a high-quality, stable oscillator such as a quartz or rubidium oscillator whose output is controlled to agree with the signals broadcast by GPS or other GNSS satellites.
GPSDOs work well as a source of timing because the satellit... |
