  2. Borromean rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borromean_rings

    In the tables of knots and links in Dale Rolfsen's 1976 book Knots and Links, extending earlier listings in the 1920s by Alexander and Briggs, the Borromean rings were given the Alexander–Briggs notation "6 3 2", meaning that this is the second of three 6-crossing 3-component links to be listed.

  3. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    Public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography, is the field of cryptographic systems that use pairs of related keys. Each key pair consists of a public key and a corresponding private key. [ 1 ][ 2 ] Key pairs are generated with cryptographic algorithms based on mathematical problems termed one-way functions.

    Upon receiving these three identical copies, the device sends a link code word with the acknowledge bit set to one from six times to eight times. 15: next page – used to indicate the intention of sending other link code words after the base link code word; The technology ability field is composed of eight bits. For IEEE 802.3, these are as ...

  5. Link (knot theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_(knot_theory)

    The Borromean rings, a link with three components each equivalent to the unknot. In mathematical knot theory, a link is a collection of knots which do not intersect, but which may be linked (or knotted) together. A knot can be described as a link with one component. Links and knots are studied in a branch of mathematics called knot theory.

    For the gene, see ADSL (gene). A gateway is commonly used to make an ADSL connection. Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a type of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional voiceband modem can provide.

    Brandolini's law. Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage coined in 2013 by Alberto Brandolini, an Italian programmer, that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. The law states:

  8. Duplex (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_(telecommunications)

    Duplex (telecommunications) A duplex communication system is a point-to-point system composed of two or more connected parties or devices that can communicate with one another in both directions. Duplex systems are employed in many communications networks, either to allow for simultaneous communication in both directions between two connected ...

  9. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    e. In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity involving twins, one of whom takes a space voyage at relativistic speeds and returns home to find that the twin who remained on Earth has aged more. This result appears puzzling because each twin sees the other twin as moving, and so, as a consequence of an incorrect ...
