As the first instance of a commercialized disc storage medium, LaserDisc took the size of a vinyl record and the function of a DVD and made them into […]

What is FPGA?: Complete Explanation An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a type of integrated circuit that can be reprogrammed and reconfigured very easily to perform different functions. It is designed to be programmed or configured by a designer or a customer after manufacturing — hence the term field-programmable. Most importantly, it can explore data […]

Electrical engineering is all about signals. As such, the technology we rely on day in and day out is completely reliant on signals. Need proof? Try and change the channel on your TV when covering the transmitter on the remote. Need even more proof? Try and make a phone call when you’re out of range […]

From radio operators to customer service agents, many careers require spellings to be communicated clearly. A misspelled word could lead to a frustrating experience, or it could be a fatal mistake. That’s why the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) uses a standardized spelling method to send signals and spell out words in important communications. Learn […]

The advent of word processing brought with it a tremendous change to the world of computing. No longer were computers reserved specifically for mathematics and science — Now, the computer had a purpose in the office, home, and classroom, as well. At the time of its invention, word processing (and, by extension, word processor devices […]

You’ve likely heard of the acronym STEM before — and not in relation to gardening, either. STEM — or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — is one of the primary focuses of the educational system in the 21st century, but it’s not the only focus (and it’s not specific to education, either). Given all these […]

Before we wax poetic about what leads to a need for fuzzy matching, let’s define it, shall we? The Fuzzy Matching technique in computer science (which is sometimes called Approximate String Matching) helps identify two elements of text strings that are similar but not precisely the same. In other words, it determines the degree of […]

What is Hex Code?: Complete Explanation When looking at a landscape, there are several objects you might describe as green. Leaves, grass, frogs, and algae could all receive that color designation. However, if you were pressed, you would acknowledge that they are not the same color but different shades of green. Computers require more specificity […]

What Is The Multiverse Theory?: Complete Explanation The Multiverse Theory postulates that the vast region of space that science calls “The Universe” is not all that exists. Even if the stars and galaxies of our visible universe stretch into infinity, there are theories that propose that other universes may exist in parallel dimensions or that […]

What is a Replay Attack?: A Complete Explanation It’s almost impossible to overstate the value of the data that travels across computer networks today.

The web as we know it got its humble start in 1989. A year later the core protocols of the web were created and the first browser and search engine were born. Then one year after that, on August 6th, 1991, the first web page was published. The next two years gave birth to Netscape, […]

What is a Wiener Process? To most, the idea of studying randomness seems like a contradiction in terms. After all, randomness is chaotic, the very antithesis of the lawlike behavior that something must exhibit to make it amenable to any sort of explanation at all. In a quest to understand randomness, where would one even […]

What is a Burn-In Test? It is a sad but hoary truth that all things wither down and decay, that they are imperfect, fallible, and therefore liable to wear down, break, or malfunction in any of a myriad of ways. Knowing this, many companies subject their products to rigorous testing regimens long before those products […]
