Intelsat VI
Intelsat VI was a series of five Hughes geostationary communications satellites launched between 1989 and 1991, at the time the largest commercial satellites ever built.
IntelyCare
IntelyCare is a Quincy, Massachusetts healthtech company founded in 2015 that runs an AI-matched nurse staffing platform, hiring nurses as W2 employees with benefits and reaching a $1.1 billion valuation by 2022.
Intendancy of Lima
The Intendancy of Lima (Intendencia de Lima) was an administrative district of the Viceroyalty of Peru, created in 1784 and reorganized as the Department of Lima in 1821.
Intendancy system
The intendancy system (Sistema de Intendencias) was the Bourbon reform by which Charles III's Spain replaced corregidores with intendants in Spanish America, beginning in Cuba in 1764.
Intense
Intense (ਇੰਟੈਂਸ) is the stage name of Aneil Kainth, a Canadian Punjabi music producer and DJ from Surrey, British Columbia, known for "Excuses" with AP Dhillon.
Intense Love (韫色过浓)
Intense Love (韫色过浓, Yun Se Guo Nong) is a 2020 Mango TV Chinese urban romance drama, 24 episodes, starring Zhang Yuxi and Ding Yuxi, adapted from Liu Mang Xing's novel, premiering May 2, 2020.
Intense pulsed light
Intense pulsed light (IPL), also known as intense pulsed light technology, is a non-laser treatment using a xenon flashlamp emitting broad-spectrum light pulses for hair removal, skin lesions, and dry eye.
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
Intense pulsed light (IPL, flashlamp) therapy: noncoherent, polychromatic 500-1200 nm xenon-flashlamp light using selective photothermolysis to treat vascular and pigmented lesions, unwanted hair, photoaging, and dry eye; FDA-cleared since 1995.
Intension
Intension, also called intensionality, is the sense or internal content of a term, as opposed to its extension, the range of things the term applies to.
Intensity (physics)
Intensity in physics is the power a wave or beam carries per unit area, in watts per square meter; for light it equals the time-averaged Poynting vector, or irradiance.
Intensity interferometry
Intensity interferometry is an optical astronomy technique that measures stellar angular diameters by correlating light-intensity fluctuations at separate telescopes, introduced by Hanbury Brown and Twiss in 1956.
Intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy
Intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) is an electrochemical technique that measures the frequency-dependent photocurrent response of semiconductor electrodes and photovoltaic devices to modulated light, separating charge transfer from recombination.
Intensity-modulated proton therapy
Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is a radiotherapy technique that optimizes every scanned proton spot, conforming dose to the tumor while sparing healthy tissue, first delivered at PSI in 1999.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an external-beam radiotherapy technique that modulates photon beamlets from multiple angles via computerized inverse planning, conformally targeting tumors while sparing organs at risk.
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is a radiation therapy technique that modulates the beam into many small beamlets, conforming dose to the tumor while sparing nearby organs at risk.
Intensity-modulation direct detection
Intensity-modulation direct detection (IM-DD) is the simplest optical communication scheme: the transmitter varies a light source's power with the data signal, and a photodiode converts it back to current.
Intensity–duration–frequency curve
An intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curve gives the rainfall intensity expected for a given storm duration and recurrence interval, guiding design of urban drainage and flood defenses.
Intensive and extensive properties
Intensive and extensive properties are the two classes of thermodynamic properties: intensive ones like temperature do not depend on system size, while extensive ones like volume do.
Intensive animal farming
Intensive animal farming, also called industrial or landless livestock production, raises confined animals at high stocking densities on externally sourced feed; FAO defines landless systems as above 10 livestock units per hectare, and such systems supply much of the world's meat.
Intensive care unit
An intensive care unit (ICU), also called a critical care unit, is a hospital unit for critically ill patients, providing intensive monitoring, nursing, and organ support such as mechanical ventilation.
Intensive farming
Intensive farming (intensive agriculture, 集约农业) is cultivation using large amounts of labour and capital per unit of land for higher yields per hectare, relying on agrochemicals, machinery, and irrigation, with documented biodiversity, water, and soil costs.
Intensive insulin therapy
Intensive insulin therapy is a diabetes regimen of three or more daily insulin injections or pump therapy with frequent glucose monitoring, the standard of care in type 1 diabetes.
Intent and incitement in the Gaza genocide
Intent and incitement in the Gaza genocide: legal debate over dolus specialis and Article 3 incitement in Israel–Hamas war allegations, the ICJ South Africa v. Israel case, the 'only reasonable inference' standard, and divergent expert findings.
Intent classification
Intent classification, also called intent detection or intent recognition, is an NLU task that assigns a user's utterance to one intent label, such as book_flight, which maps to a system action.
Intent prediction (robotics)
Intent prediction in robotics is a robot's inference of a human collaborator's unobserved goal or next action from cues such as motion, gaze, gestures, and speech.
Intention
Intention in philosophy: the attitude of committing to action, studied as future intention, intention-in-action, and intentional action; central theories by Anscombe, Davidson, and Bratman.
Intention (criminal law)
Intention (criminal law), or mens rea, is the mental state of aiming at a prohibited result or knowing it is virtually certain. Covers direct and oblique intent, Woollin, the Model Penal Code, dolus eventualis, and Rome Statute Article 30.
Intention tremor
Intention tremor, also called cerebellar tremor, is shaking that appears during target-directed movement and worsens as the limb nears its target, most often from cerebellar dysfunction.
Intention-to-treat analysis
Intention-to-treat analysis is a method for analyzing randomized controlled trials in which every participant is analyzed in the group they were randomized to, regardless of treatment received.
Intentional community
An intentional community, also called a communal or cooperative community, is a group that deliberately lives together to express shared values, in forms like ecovillages, cohousing, and kibbutzim.
