    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_substance

    Ground substance is an amorphous gel-like substance in the extracellular space of animals that contains all components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) except for fibrous materials such as collagen and elastin. [1] Ground substance is active in the development, movement, and proliferation of tissues, as well as their metabolism.

    One classification system involves the distinction between calcium-independent CAMs and calcium-dependent CAMs. [7] The Ig-superfamily CAMs do not depend on Ca 2+ while integrins, cadherins and selectins depend on Ca 2+. In addition, integrins participate in cell–matrix interactions, while other CAM families participate in cell–cell ...

    The modern system consists of five components of band 1.5 and band 3 equipment to cover the full spectrum of threats. The AN/ALQ-135 (v) system consists of the B3 RF Amplifier, B3 Control/Oscillator, B1.5 RF Amplifier, B1.5 Control/Oscillator, and the LRU-14. The band 1.5 and band 3 equipment share 70% of their hardware.

  8. Transmission control unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Unit

    A transmission control unit (TCU), also known as a transmission control module (TCM), or a gearbox control unit (GCU), is a type of automotive ECU that is used to control electronic automatic transmissions. Similar systems are used in conjunction with various semi-automatic transmissions, purely for clutch automation and actuation.
