    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 ).

  5. Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope...

    A radioisotope thermoelectric generator ( RTG, RITEG ), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect. This type of generator has no moving parts and ...

  6. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

    A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel genset) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. This is a specific case of engine generator. A diesel compression-ignition engine is usually designed to run on diesel fuel, but some types are adapted for other liquid ...

  7. Technetium-99m generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium-99m_generator

    A technetium-99m generator, or colloquially a technetium cow or moly cow, is a device used to extract the metastable isotope 99m Tc of technetium from a decaying sample of molybdenum-99. 99 Mo has a half-life of 66 hours [1] and can be easily transported over long distances to hospitals where its decay product technetium-99m (with a half-life ...
