  2. Potassium amyl xanthate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_amyl_xanthate

    Potassium amyl xanthate (/pəˈtæsiəm ˌæmɪl ˈzænθeɪt/) is an organosulfur compound with the chemical formula CH 3 (CH 2) 4 OCS 2 K. It is a pale yellow powder with a pungent odor that is soluble in water.

  3. Michelin PAX System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_PAX_System

    The PAX system approached the problem differently, requiring a system of parts, not just a different tire. Rather than extra stiff and supportive sidewalls, the PAX system relies on a newly designed asymmetric wheel, a supportive insert and a similarly asymmetric tire combination to provide an extended run-flat capability of up to 125 miles at ...

  4. Paxos (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxos_(computer_science)

    This problem becomes difficult when the participants or their communications may experience failures. [ 1 ] Consensus protocols are the basis for the state machine replication approach to distributed computing , as suggested by Leslie Lamport [ 2 ] and surveyed by Fred Schneider . [ 3 ]

  5. Short integer solution problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_integer_solution_problem

    Short integer solution (SIS) and ring-SIS problems are two average-case problems that are used in lattice-based cryptography constructions. Lattice-based cryptography began in 1996 from a seminal work by Miklós Ajtai [ 1 ] who presented a family of one-way functions based on SIS problem.

  6. Address space layout randomization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout...

    Address space layout randomization (ASLR) is a computer security technique involved in preventing exploitation of memory corruption vulnerabilities. [1] In order to prevent an attacker from reliably redirecting code execution to, for example, a particular exploited function in memory, ASLR randomly arranges the address space positions of key data areas of a process, including the base of the ...

  7. Heap leaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_leaching

    Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the ore, whereas in situ mining lacks these liners and pulls pregnant solution up to obtain the minerals. Heap leaching is widely used in modern large-scale mining operations as it produces the desired concentrates ...

  8. Hidden node problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_node_problem

    The same problem exists in a mobile ad hoc network . IEEE 802.11 uses 802.11 RTS/CTS acknowledgment and handshake packets to partly overcome the hidden node problem. RTS/CTS is not a complete solution and may decrease throughput even further, but adaptive acknowledgements from the base station can help too.

  9. Sleeping barber problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_barber_problem

    There are several possible solutions, but all solutions require a mutex, which ensures that only one of the participants can change state at once.The barber must acquire the room status mutex before checking for customers and release it when they begin either to sleep or cut hair; a customer must acquire it before entering the shop and release it once they are sitting in a waiting room or ...
