Equal access (telecommunications)

Equal access is a United States telephone-network arrangement created by the 1982 AT&T antitrust settlement, under which local companies gave every long-distance carrier connections equal to AT&T's.

Equal channel angular extrusion

Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE), also called equal-channel angular pressing, is a severe plastic deformation process that presses a metal billet through a die with two intersecting equal channels.

Equal error rate

The equal error rate (EER) is a single-number performance measure for biometric verification systems, defined at the threshold where false acceptance and false rejection rates are equal.

Equal-cost multi-path routing

Equal-cost multi-path routing (ECMP) is a routing technique in which a router forwards packets toward a single destination over several paths of equal cost, splitting traffic to use available capacity.

Equal-gain combining

Equal-gain combining (EGC) is a linear diversity-combining technique used in wireless receivers with multiple antennas, where branch signals are aligned in phase and summed with equal weights.

Equation Group

Equation Group is a highly sophisticated cyber espionage actor named by Kaspersky Lab in February 2015, suspected of links to the NSA's Tailored Access Operations unit.

EquiBind

EquiBind is an SE(3)-equivariant geometric deep learning model that predicts how a drug-like ligand binds to a protein, developed at MIT and published at ICML 2022.

EquiformerV2

EquiformerV2 is an equivariant graph transformer for 3D atomistic systems by MIT and Meta researchers, posted to arXiv in 2023, that scaled to higher-degree representations.

Equipment codes

Equipment codes are standardized alphanumeric codes declaring an aircraft's communication, navigation, and surveillance equipment, filed in ICAO flight plan Items 10 and 18 and used in ATA maintenance documentation.

Equipment losses in World War II

Equipment losses in World War II were the tanks, aircraft, warships, submarines, artillery, and small arms destroyed, captured, or written off by the belligerents between 1939 and 1945.

The Equitable Building is a 38-story office skyscraper completed in 1915 at 120 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, then the world's largest office building and a catalyst for New York's 1916 Zoning Resolution.

Equivalence partitioning

Equivalence partitioning, also called equivalence class partitioning, is a black-box software test design technique that divides a system's inputs into groups expected to be processed the same way.

Equivalent circuit model

An equivalent circuit model represents the electrical behavior of a real device, such as a battery, by a network of ideal resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

Equivalent salt deposit density

Equivalent salt deposit density (ESDD) is an insulator pollution measure: the sodium chloride mass giving the same conductivity as the deposit, per unit surface area, in mg/cm².

Equivalent single axle load

An equivalent single axle load (ESAL) is a pavement design unit converting any axle's damage into equivalent 18,000-pound single axle loads, the standard traffic input for AASHTO 1993 design.
