    While tolerating arbitrary objects, even heterogeneity within a single hash table instance, the specification of this key :test function is confined to distinguishable entities: the Common Lisp standard only mandates the support of eq, eql, equal, and equalp, yet designating additional or custom operations as permissive for concrete ...

  3. Key schedule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_schedule

    DES has a key schedule in which the 56-bit key is divided into two 28-bit halves; each half is thereafter treated separately. In successive rounds, both halves are rotated left by one or two bits (specified for each round), and then 48 round key bits are selected by Permuted Choice 2 (PC-2) – 24 bits from the left half and 24 from the right ...

  4. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    Timsort is a stable sorting algorithm (order of elements with same key is kept) and strives to perform balanced merges (a merge thus merges runs of similar sizes). In order to achieve sorting stability, only consecutive runs are merged. Between two non-consecutive runs, there can be an element with the same key inside the runs.

  5. Composite key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_key

    In database design, a composite key is a candidate key that consists of two or more attributes, [1] [2] [3] (table columns) that together uniquely identify an entity occurrence (table row). A compound key is a composite key for which each attribute that makes up the key is a foreign key in its own right.

  6. Mass-spring-damper model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-spring-damper_model

    The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers. This model is well-suited for modelling object with complex material properties such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity .

  7. Action (piano) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(piano)

    The design of the key action mechanism determines the "weight" of the keys, i.e., the force required to sound a note; [2] [3] [4]: 91 that is, the feeling of the heaviness of the touch of the keys. [ need quotation to verify ] "A professional pianist is likely to care most about the piano's action, because that is what controls its ...

    A computer mouse with the most common features: two buttons (left and right) and a scroll wheel (which can also function as a button when pressed inwards) A typical wireless computer mouse A computer mouse (plural mice , also mouses ) [ nb 1 ] is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface.

  9. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(device)

    A flat spring fixed only at one end like a cantilever, while the free-hanging end takes the load. Coil spring Also known as a helical spring. A spring (made by winding a wire around a cylinder) is of two types: Tension or extension springs are designed to become longer under load. Their turns (loops) are normally touching in the unloaded ...
