  2. Ellipsis (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis_(linguistics)

    In linguistics, ellipsis (from Ancient Greek ἔλλειψις (élleipsis) 'omission') or an elliptical construction is the omission from a clause of one or more words that are nevertheless understood in the context of the remaining elements. There are numerous distinct types of ellipsis acknowledged in theoretical syntax.

  3. Highly elliptical orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_elliptical_orbit

    A highly elliptical orbit (HEO) is an elliptic orbit with high eccentricity, usually referring to one around Earth. Examples of inclined HEO orbits include Molniya orbits , named after the Molniya Soviet communication satellites which used them, and Tundra orbits .

  4. Footprint (satellite) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footprint_(satellite)

    An example of an elliptical footprint with a reception area of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The ellipses indicate the necessary antenna diameter for receiving in cm. The footprint of a communications satellite is the ground area that its transponders offer coverage , and determines the satellite dish diameter required to receive each ...

  5. Bohr–Sommerfeld model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr–Sommerfeld_model

    The Bohr–Sommerfeld model (also known as the Sommerfeld model or Bohr–Sommerfeld theory) was an extension of the Bohr model to allow elliptical orbits of electrons around an atomic nucleus. Bohr–Sommerfeld theory is named after Danish physicist Niels Bohr and German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld .

  6. Ellipsograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsograph

    The motion of the rod is termed elliptical motion. The semi-axes a and b of the ellipses have lengths equal to the distances from the point on the rod to each of the two pivots. The straight lines described by the pivots are special cases of an ellipse, where the length of one axis is twice the distance between the pivots and that of the other ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_network

    A semantic network, or frame network is a knowledge base that represents semantic relations between concepts in a network. This is often used as a form of knowledge representation.

  8. Wireless mesh network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network

    Wireless mesh architecture is a first step towards providing cost effective and low mobility over a specific coverage area. Wireless mesh infrastructure is, in effect, a network of routers minus the cabling between nodes.

  9. Network science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_science

    Network science is an academic field which studies complex networks such as telecommunication networks, computer networks, biological networks, cognitive and semantic networks, and social networks, considering distinct elements or actors represented by nodes (or vertices) and the connections between the elements or actors as links (or edges).
