Dvorak keyboard layout
The Dvorak keyboard layout, patented by August Dvorak and William Dealey in 1936, is an alternative to QWERTY placing common letters on the home row for faster typing.
DVS study
DVS study: research on the Dynamic Vision Sensor, an event camera reporting pixel-level brightness changes at microsecond resolution. Covers origins (Mahowald and Mead silicon retina), tracking, driving datasets, and the CARLA sim-to-real gap.
DVS128
DVS128 is a 128 × 128 pixel event camera, a dynamic vision sensor whose pixels asynchronously report light changes as digital events, described in 2008 by ETH Zurich researchers.
Dwarf mongoose optimization
Dwarf mongoose optimization (DMO) is a swarm-based metaheuristic, introduced by Agushaka, Ezugwu, and Abualigah in 2022, that mimics dwarf mongoose foraging and sleeping-site behavior to solve optimization problems.
Dwarkadhish Temple
The Dwarkadhish Temple, also called Jagat Mandir, is a Hindu temple dedicated to Krishna at Dwarka in Gujarat, India, one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites.
DWDM
Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is an optical fiber technique combining many closely spaced light channels on one fiber, governed by the ITU-T G.694.1 grid.
Dwight C. Streit
Dwight C. Streit is an American electrical engineer at UCLA known for heterojunction transistors and millimeter-wave circuits, elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2001.
Dwight F. Metzler

Dworshak National Fish Hatchery
Dworshak National Fish Hatchery is a federal salmon and steelhead hatchery near Ahsahka, Idaho, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1969 to compensate for habitat blocked by Dworshak Dam.
DWS system (dimensioning, weighing, scanning)
A DWS system (dimensioning, weighing, scanning) is an automated logistics station that measures a parcel's dimensions, weighs it, and reads its barcode, feeding billing, sortation, and warehouse systems.
DXVK
DXVK is a Vulkan-based translation layer that lets Direct3D 8, 9, 10, and 11 games run on Linux through Wine, started by Philip Rebohle in 2017.
Dye
A dye is a soluble colorant absorbed into materials like textile fibers, leather, or paper, distinguished from insoluble surface pigments; about 800,000 tonnes are produced yearly.
Dye penetrant inspection
Dye penetrant inspection, also called liquid penetrant testing, is a nondestructive testing method that reveals surface defects in nonporous metals, ceramics, and plastics by drawing dye into the flaw.
Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells
Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DSPECs) use a molecular dye on a semiconductor electrode to absorb visible light and drive water splitting, producing hydrogen fuel, and can also convert CO2.
Dye-sensitized solar cell
A dye-sensitized solar cell, also called a Grätzel cell, is a photovoltaic device where dye on titanium dioxide absorbs light; invented at EPFL in 1991, it excels indoors.
Dyeing
Dyeing is the process of applying colorants to textile fibers, yarns, or fabrics so the color survives washing and wear; it accounts for 70 to 80% of textile industry wastewater.
Dyess Air Force Base
Dyess Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation in Abilene, Texas, opened in 1956 and named for Lt. Col. William Dyess, a Bataan prisoner of war who escaped.
Dymaxion car
The Dymaxion car, also called the Fuller Dymaxion, was a streamlined three-wheeled prototype automobile designed by Buckminster Fuller and Starling Burgess, built in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1933 and 1934.
DynaArm

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP
Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH, or MPEG-DASH) is a standard, first published in 2012, for adaptive video streaming over ordinary HTTP servers and CDNs.
Dynamic application security testing
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a black-box security testing method that probes a running application from the outside, without source code access, to find exploitable vulnerabilities.
Dynamic ARP Inspection
Dynamic ARP inspection is a Layer 2 switch security feature that validates ARP packets against trusted IP-to-MAC bindings to prevent ARP spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Dynamic bandwidth allocation
Dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) is a resource management method that redistributes communication bandwidth among users in real time based on demand, notably in passive optical networks.
