  2. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In contrast to a simple light switch, which is a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch, multiway switching uses switches with one or more additional contacts and two or more wires are run between the switches. When the load is controlled from only two points, single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are used.

  3. 25-pair color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25-pair_color_code

    To facilitate this, extra pairs of wires are embedded in cables using "major" colors for both wires (instead of the major/minor color combinations used for the rest). One extra pair (red-white) may be embedded into cables that are 6 to 75 pairs; two pairs (red-white and black-white) may be encapsulated in cables of 100 to 300 pairs; and three ...

  4. Three utilities problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_utilities_problem

    It has nine edges, one edge for each of the pairings of a house with a utility, or more abstractly one edge for each pair of a vertex in one subset and a vertex in the other subset. Planar graphs are the graphs that can be drawn without crossings in the plane, and if such a drawing could be found, it would solve the three utilities puzzle. [13 ...

  5. Fuss–Catalan number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuss–Catalan_number

    In some publications this equation is sometimes referred to as Two-parameter Fuss–Catalan numbers or Raney numbers. The implication is the single-parameter Fuss-Catalan numbers are when r = 1 {\displaystyle \,r=1\,} and p = 2 {\displaystyle \,p=2\,} .

  6. Dot matrix printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_matrix_printing

    Dot matrix printers are a type of impact printer that prints using a fixed number of pins or wires [2] [3] and typically use a print head that moves back and forth or in an up-and-down motion on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper.

  7. Rope-burning puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope-burning_puzzle

    A common and simple version of this problem asks to measure a time of 45 seconds using only two fuses that each burn for a minute. The assumptions of the problem are usually specified in a way that prevents measuring out 3/4 of the length of one fuse and burning it end-to-end, for instance by stating that the fuses burn unevenly along their length.

  8. Four-wire circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-wire_circuit

    In telecommunications, a four-wire circuit is a two-way circuit using two paths so arranged that the respective signals are transmitted in one direction only by one path and in the other direction by the other path. The four-wire circuit gets its name from the fact that is uses four conductors to create two complete electrical circuits, one for ...

  9. 600 series connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/600_series_connector

    600 series connectors. A 600 series connector is an obsolete three-pin connector with up to six conductors.. It was for many years the standard telephone service connector in Australia, used on rural party lines and the national Postmaster-General's Department (later Telstra) landline network, but has since the 1970s been superseded by the six position modular connector in this application.
