  2. Twitter bot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_bot

    A Twitter bot (or X bot) is a type of software bot that controls a Twitter account via the Twitter API. [1] The social bot software may autonomously perform actions such as tweeting, retweeting, liking, following, unfollowing, or direct messaging other accounts. [2] The automation of Twitter accounts is governed by a [3] set of automation rules ...

  3. Twitter suspensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_suspensions

    Twitter suspended multiple parody accounts that satirized Russian politics in May 2016, sparking protests and raising questions about where the company stands on freedom of speech. [13] Following public outcry, Twitter restored the accounts the next day without explaining why the accounts had been suspended. [14]

  4. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    Van de Graaff generator. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow metal globe on the top of an insulated column, creating very high electric potentials. It produces very high voltage direct current (DC) electricity at low current levels.

  5. Generator matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_matrix

    A generator matrix for a linear [,,]-code has format , where n is the length of a codeword, k is the number of information bits (the dimension of C as a vector subspace), d is the minimum distance of the code, and q is size of the finite field, that is, the number of symbols in the alphabet (thus, q = 2 indicates a binary code, etc.).

  6. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    A pseudorandom number generator ( PRNG ), also known as a deterministic random bit generator ( DRBG ), [1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value ...

  7. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power ( potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power ( chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

  8. Blocking oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_oscillator

    Blocking oscillator. Basis of solid-state Blocking oscillator. The waveform generated by this circuit. This Joule thief circuit, a blocking oscillator, can be used in order to power a light-emitting diode from a 1.5V battery for a relatively long period of time, with the brightness being a tradeoff.

  9. Parity-check matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity-check_matrix

    Formally, a parity check matrix H of a linear code C is a generator matrix of the dual code, C ⊥. This means that a codeword c is in C if and only if the matrix-vector product Hc ⊤ = 0 (some authors would write this in an equivalent form, cH ⊤ = 0.) The rows of a parity check matrix are the coefficients of the parity check equations.
