Paire torsadéeUne paire torsadée est une ligne symétrique formée de deux fils conducteurs enroulés en hélice l’un autour de l’autre. Cette configuration a pour but principal de limiter la sensibilité aux interférences et la diaphonie dans les câbles multipaires. En français, « paire symétrique » est, en téléphonie, synonyme de « paire torsadée ». Les paires torsadées se trouvent en téléphonie, en électroacoustique, en instrumentation et en transmission de données informatiques, domaine où elles ont fait l'objet d'importants développements.
Interaction multimodaleMultimodal interaction provides the user with multiple modes of interacting with a system. A multimodal interface provides several distinct tools for input and output of data. Multimodal human-computer interaction refers to the "interaction with the virtual and physical environment through natural modes of communication", This implies that multimodal interaction enables a more free and natural communication, interfacing users with automated systems in both input and output.
Domain wallA domain wall is a type of topological soliton that occurs whenever a discrete symmetry is spontaneously broken. Domain walls are also sometimes called kinks in analogy with closely related kink solution of the sine-Gordon model or models with polynomial potentials. Unstable domain walls can also appear if spontaneously broken discrete symmetry is approximate and there is a false vacuum. A domain (hyper volume) is extended in three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. A domain wall is the boundary between two neighboring domains.
Induced gravityInduced gravity (or emergent gravity) is an idea in quantum gravity that spacetime curvature and its dynamics emerge as a mean field approximation of underlying microscopic degrees of freedom, similar to the fluid mechanics approximation of Bose–Einstein condensates. The concept was originally proposed by Andrei Sakharov in 1967. Sakharov observed that many condensed matter systems give rise to emergent phenomena that are analogous to general relativity. For example, crystal defects can look like curvature and torsion in an Einstein–Cartan spacetime.
