  2. Protein pigeon homolog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_pigeon_homolog

    The human PION gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 7 at band 11.23, from base pair 76,778,007 to base pair 76,883,653. [6] Highly conserved PION orthologs have been identified in most vertebrates for which complete genome data are available. [7]

  3. Triggering device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triggering_device

    In many of industrial operations, the delivery of a variable and controlled amount of electrical power is necessary. The most common of these operations include electric lighting, electric motor speed control, electric welding, and electric heating.

  4. Trigger (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_(firearms)

    Firearms use triggers to initiate the firing of a cartridge seated within the gun barrel chamber.This is accomplished by actuating a striking device through a combination of mainspring (which stores elastic energy), a trap mechanism that can hold the spring under tension, an intermediate mechanism to transmit the kinetic energy from the spring releasing, and a firing pin to eventually strike ...

  5. Scroll-type supercharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll-type_supercharger

    The scroll-type supercharger is a scroll compressor used as a positive displacement orbiting-spiral supercharger. It is a compromise between the more rugged rotating lobe, and the more efficient sliding vane type superchargers, and is considered to offer the highest potential in regard to efficiency, noise and pressure fluctuation.

  6. Hell-fire trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell-fire_trigger

    A hell-fire trigger is a device that allows a semi-automatic firearm to fire at an increased rate. The hell-fire clamps to the trigger guard behind the trigger and presses a "finger" against the back of the trigger to increase the force that returns the trigger to its forward position, effectively decreasing the time required for the trigger to reset, allowing for a faster follow-up shot.

  7. Special access program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_access_program

    Special access programs (SAPs) in the U.S. Federal Government are security protocols that provide highly classified information with safeguards and access restrictions that exceed those for regular (collateral) classified information.

  8. Time-triggered architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-triggered_architecture

    Time-triggered systems can be viewed as a subset of a more general event-triggered (ET) system architecture (see event-driven programming).. Implementation of an ET system will typically involve use of multiple interrupts, each associated with specific periodic events (such as timer overflows) or aperiodic events (such as the arrival of messages over a communication bus at random points in time).

  9. Grim trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_trigger

    In game theory, grim trigger (also called the grim strategy or just grim) is a trigger strategy for a repeated game.. Initially, a player using grim trigger will cooperate, but as soon as the opponent defects (thus satisfying the trigger condition), the player using grim trigger will defect for the remainder of the iterated game.
