Galaxy filament In physical cosmology, galaxy filaments (subtypes: supercluster complexes, galaxy walls, and galaxy sheets)<ref name="astro-ph/9602090"> Boris V. Komberg, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Vladimir N. Lukash; "The search and investigation of the Large Groups of Quasars" arXiv: ; Bibcode: 1996astro.ph..2090K ;</ref> are the largest known structures in the universe. They are massive, thread-like formations, with a typical length of 50 to 80 megaparsecs "h" (163 to 261 million light-years) that form the boundaries between large voids in the universe. Filaments consist of gravitationally bound galaxies. Parts wherein many galaxies are very close to one another (in cosmic terms) are called superclusters. Bibcode The bibcode (also known as the refcode) is a compact identifier used by several astronomical data systems to uniquely specify literature references.

It is currently one of the few phones that can connect to Project Fi (North American models only), along with the Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, and the Pixel. TWINKLE TWINKLE is a hypothetical integer factorization device described in 1999 by Adi Shamir and purported to be capable of factoring 512-bit integers. The name is an acronym of "The Weizmann Institute Key Locating Engine". It is also a pun on the twinkling LEDs used in the device. Shamir estimated that the cost of TWINKLE could be as low as $5000 per unit with bulk production. TWINKLE has a successor named TWIRL which is more efficient. PowerBook Duo The PowerBook Duo is a line of small subnotebooks manufactured and sold by Apple Computer from 1992 until 1997 as a more compact companion to the PowerBook line. Improving upon the PowerBook 100's portability (its immediate predecessor and Apple's third smallest laptop), the Duo came in seven different models. They were the Duo 210, 230, 250, 270c, 280, 280c, and 2300c, with the 210 and 230 being the earliest, and 2300c being the final incarnation before the entire line was dropped in early 1997. Samsung SGH-i907 The Samsung SGH-i907, marketed as the Samsung Epix in the United States by AT&T Wireless, is a Windows Mobile-based quad-band GSM smartphone manufactured by Samsung. Centennial Discovery Centennial Discovery Software is an IT Asset Management (ITAM) tool which identifies and records software and hardware inventories on networked devices with the centennial reporting service installed. Orange box An orange box is a piece of hardware or software that generates caller ID frequency-shift keying (FSK) signals to spoof caller ID information on the target's caller ID terminal. It takes advantage of call waiting caller ID (also called off-hook caller ID) by mimicking the phone company's central office equipment and sending the call waiting tone followed by the audible caller ID data. An orange box can also be used to spoof Caller ID information sent after an incoming call rings, if the user has direct access to the target's phone line. One proposal to accomplish this involves an orange box used in conjunction with a magenta box, which in combination is called a vermilion box. FLARM FLARM is an EASA-approved electronic system used to selectively alert pilots to potential collisions between aircraft. It is not formally an implementation of ADS-B, as it is optimized for the specific needs of light aircraft, not for long-range communication or ATC interaction. FLARM is a portmanteau of "flight" and "alarm". The installation of all FLARM devices is approved as an EASA Standard Change, and PowerFLARM Core specifically has been approved as a Minor Change by EASA. In addition to the Standard Change, the Minor Change approves PowerFLARM Core to be used during IFR and at night. MicroTCA MicroTCA is an open standard embedded computing specification created by PICMG. First ratified in 2006, the specification utilizes the existing Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMCs) in a hot-swappable backplane format. It features MicroTCA Carrier Hubs (MCHs) which provide IPMI-based shelf management and switching functionality to the system. MicroTCA systems provide up to 99.9999% uptime in a smaller form factor than 3U and 6U Eurocard systems. A typical mid-sized 4HP AMC is 73.8mm x 18.96mm x 181.5mm. There are also compact-sized AMCs at 3HP wide (13.88mm) and full-sized at 6HP wide (28.95mm). Double modules have also been created, extending the height of the modules from 73.8mm to 148.8mm. The architecture was originally designed for telecom applications, but MicroTCA has gained significant popularity in other applications including military/aerospace, railway, high-energy physics, and more. USRobotics U.S. Robotics Corporation, often called USR, is a company that produces USRobotics computer modems and related products. Its initial marketing was aimed at bulletin board systems, where its high-speed HST protocol made FidoNet transfers much faster, and thus less costly. During the 1990s it became a major consumer brand with its Sportster line. The company had a reputation for high quality and support for the latest communications standards as they emerged, notably in its V.Everything line, released in 1996. MS Galaxy MS "Galaxy" is a cruise ferry built in 2006 by Aker Finnyards, Rauma, Finland and was at the time the largest ship delivered to ferry operator Tallink. Between 2006–2008 she held the distinction of being the largest ship ever to be registered in Estonia; a title later held by her replacement the sister ship "Baltic Princess". Arbitrated loop Arbitrated Loop, also known as FC-AL, is a Fibre Channel topology in which devices are connected in a one-way loop fashion in a ring topology. Historically it was a lower-cost alternative to a fabric topology. It allowed connection of many servers and computer storage devices without using then very costly Fibre Channel switches. The cost of the switches dropped considerably, so by 2007, FC-AL had become rare in server-to-storage communication. It is however still common within storage systems. Phase-change Dual Phase-Change Dual (PD) is a rewritable optical disc format introduced by Panasonic in 1995. Much like CD-RW, PD uses a phase change layer that can be overwritten in a single pass of the read/write head. A PD disc has a capacity of 650 MB, can be rewritten 500,000 times and is enclosed in a protective cartridge. PD discs are compatible with PD drives and first generation Panasonic DVD-RAM drives while PD drives can read and write PD discs as well as read CD-ROMs. Samsung GT-M7500 Samsung GT-M7500 (also known as Samsung Emporio Armani or Samsung Night Effect) is a candybar phone that was announced in January 2009. One of the key selling points of the handset was the user-selectable lighting effects that it came with, plus prominent Emporio Armani branding. As of January 2014, this is the only official Emporio Armani handset products, although Samsung have produced Giorgio Armani branded handsets such as a special edition of the Samsung Galaxy S. Samsung Galaxy Duos The Samsung Galaxy (stylized as Samsung GALAXY) is a series of Android-powered mobile computing devices designed, manufactured and marketed by Samsung Electronics, including Dual SIM SmartPhones marketed as "Duos". Zorba (computer) The Zorba was a portable computer running the CP/M operating system manufactured in 1983 and 1984. It was originally manufactured by Telcon Industries of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a company specialized in telecommunication equipment manufacturing.
