  2. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    Universally unique identifier. A Universally Unique Identifier ( UUID) is a 128-bit label used for information in computer systems. The term Globally Unique Identifier ( GUID) is also used, mostly in Microsoft systems. [1] [2] When generated according to the standard methods, UUIDs are, for practical purposes, unique.

    Each node in the tree is represented by a series of integers separated by periods, corresponding to the path from the root through the series of ancestor nodes, to the node. Thus, an OID denoting Intel Corporation appears as follows, 1.3.6.1.4.1.343. and corresponds to the following path through the OID tree: 1 ISO

  4. Snowflake ID - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_ID

    Snowflake ID. Snowflake IDs, or snowflakes, are a form of unique identifier used in distributed computing. The format was created by Twitter (now X) and is used for the IDs of tweets. It is popularly believed that every snowflake has a unique structure, so they took the name "snowflake ID". The format has been adopted by other companies ...

  5. Chebyshev nodes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_nodes

    In numerical analysis, Chebyshev nodes are a set of specific real algebraic numbers, used as nodes for polynomial interpolation. They are the projection of equispaced points on the unit circle onto the real interval the diameter of the circle. The Chebyshev nodes of the first kind, also called the Chebyshev zeros, are the zeros of the Chebyshev ...

  6. Unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier

    Unique identifier. A unique identifier ( UID) is an identifier that is guaranteed to be unique among all identifiers used for those objects and for a specific purpose. [1] The concept was formalized early in the development of computer science and information systems. In general, it was associated with an atomic data type .

  7. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    A cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator ( CSPRNG) or cryptographic pseudorandom number generator ( CPRNG) is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) with properties that make it suitable for use in cryptography. It is also referred to as a cryptographic random number generator ( CRNG ).

  8. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    MAC address. A MAC address (short for medium access control address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment. This use is common in most IEEE 802 networking technologies, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

  9. CAN bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus

    When ID bit 4 is transmitted, the node with the ID of 16 transmits a 1 (recessive) for its ID, and the node with the ID of 15 transmits a 0 (dominant) for its ID. When this happens, the node with the ID of 16 knows it transmitted a 1, but sees a 0 and realizes that there is a collision and it lost arbitration. Node 16 stops transmitting which ...
