In 2000 a group of scientists proposed, based on preliminary Hipparcos astrometrical satellite data, that the orbital inclination of HD 177830 b is as little as 1.3°. If that was the case, the planet would have a mass of 67 M J, making it a brown dwarf instead of a planet. However, it is very unlikely that the planet would have such orbit.
HyperZ. HyperZ is the brand for a set of processing techniques developed by ATI Technologies and later Advanced Micro Devices and implemented in their Radeon-GPUs.HyperZ was announced in November 2000 [1] and was still available in the TeraScale-based Radeon HD 2000 Series [2] [3] and in current Graphics Core Next-based graphics products.
HD 98800 is a quadruple system, with two pairs of stars orbiting each other. The two pairs are separated by over an arcsecond, [ 10 ] so the wide visual orbit is poorly known. A preliminary range of orbits has been calculated, with an orbital period of 300 to 430 years, as well as a moderate eccentricity of 0.3 to 0.6.
A Viewsat Xtreme FTA receiver. A free-to-air or FTA Receiver is a satellite television receiver designed to receive unencrypted broadcasts. Modern decoders are typically compliant with the MPEG-4/DVB-S2 standard and formerly the MPEG-2/DVB-S standard, while older FTA receivers relied on analog satellite transmissions which have declined rapidly in recent years.

[1] PrimeStar was the first medium-powered DBS system in the United States but slowly declined in popularity with the arrival of DirecTV in 1994 and Dish Network in 1996.
HD 77191 is a spectroscopic binary composed of a Sun-like variable star and a probable red dwarf, [4] located in the zodiac constellation of Cancer.It has the variable-star designation HL Cancri (abbreviated to HL Cnc).
