Mesh networking

A mesh network is a local area network topology in which the infrastructure nodes (i.e. bridges, switches, and other infrastructure devices) connect directly, dynamically and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible and cooperate with one another to efficiently route data to and from clients. This lack of dependency on one node allows for every node to participate in the relay of information. Mesh networks dynamically self-organize and self-configure, which can reduce installation overhead.

Wireless network interface controller

A wireless network interface controller (WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, rather than a wired network, such as a Token Ring or Ethernet. A WNIC, just like other NICs, works on the layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model and uses an antenna to communicate via radio waves. A wireless network interface controller may be implemented as an expansion card and connected using PCI bus or PCIe bus, or connected via USB, PC Card, ExpressCard, Mini PCIe or M.

E (mathematical constant)

The number e, also known as Euler's number, is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that can be characterized in many ways. It is the base of natural logarithms. It is the limit of (1 + 1/n)n as n approaches infinity, an expression that arises in the study of compound interest. It can also be calculated as the sum of the infinite series It is also the unique positive number a such that the graph of the function y = ax has a slope of 1 at x = 0.

Avogadro constant

The Avogadro constant, commonly denoted N_A or L, is an SI defining constant with an exact value of 6.02214076e23reciprocal moles. It is used as a normalization factor in the amount of substance in a sample (in units of moles), defined as the number of constituent particles (usually molecules, atoms, or ions) divided by N_A. In practice, its value is often approximated as 6.02×1023 or 6.022×1023 particles per mole. The constant is named after the physicist Amedeo Avogadro (1776–1856).
