    The symmetry groups are named here by three naming schemes: International notation, orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation . There are three kinds of symmetry groups of the plane: 2 families of rosette groups – 2D point groups. 7 frieze groups – 2D line groups. 17 wallpaper groups – 2D space groups.

    The new SPA platform replaced two prior vehicle architectures, the Volvo P2 platform and Volvo P3 platform. With SPA, Volvo claims it "enables significant improvements when it comes to offering protection in worst-case scenarios and when creating innovative features that support the driver in avoiding accidents."

  6. Round-robin scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_scheduling

    Round-robin scheduling is simple, easy to implement, and starvation -free. Round-robin scheduling can be applied to other scheduling problems, such as data packet scheduling in computer networks. It is an operating system concept. The name of the algorithm comes from the round-robin principle known from other fields, where each person takes an ...

    The pentagonal Penrose tiling (P1) drawn in black on a colored rhombus tiling (P3) with yellow edges. [15] The first Penrose tiling (tiling P1 below) is an aperiodic set of six prototiles, introduced by Roger Penrose in a 1974 paper, [16] based on pentagons rather than squares.

  9. Positive material identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_material...

    Positive material identification (PMI) is the analysis of a material, this can be any material but is generally used for the analysis of metallic alloy to establish composition by reading the quantities by percentage of its constituent elements. Typical methods for PMI include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and optical emission spectrometry (OES). [1]
