The term commonly refers to devices such as ROMs, PALs, PLAs and GALs. Basic description Simple programmable logic devices (SPLD) are the simplest, smallest and least-ex...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oophagy
Oophagy ( ) sometimes ovophagy, literally "egg eating", is the practice of embryos feeding on eggs produced by the ovary while still inside the mother's uterus. The word oophagy is formed from the classical Greek (, "egg") and classical Greek (, "to eat"). In contrast, adelphophagy is the cannibalism of a multi-cell...
