Kindle File Format
The Kindle File Format, also known as the AZW file format or Azw3, is the family of proprietary e-book formats Amazon uses on Kindle devices and apps.
KineMaster
KineMaster is a mobile video editing application for Android, iOS, and iPadOS, developed by Seoul-based KineMaster Corporation and known for its multi-layer timeline, chroma key, and 4K export.
Kinematic calibration
Kinematic calibration is a robotics engineering method that identifies and corrects errors in a robot's kinematic model, using measured end-effector pose data to improve absolute positioning accuracy.
Kinematic chain
A kinematic chain is a system of rigid bodies, called links, connected by joints so each link is constrained by its neighbors; with one link fixed, it is a mechanism.
Kinematic coupling
A kinematic coupling is a mechanical interface using exactly six contact points to constrain two rigid parts, allowing repeated re-mating with sub-micron to micron repeatability in optics, robotics, and semiconductor equipment.
Kinematic design
Kinematic design is a precision-engineering approach that constrains a body with exactly as many point contacts as degrees of freedom to restrain, giving highly repeatable positioning.
Kinematic mapping
Kinematic mapping is a mathematical tool that assigns each rigid-body displacement a point in a projective space, so mechanism synthesis problems become questions about curves and surfaces.
Kinematic singularity
A kinematic singularity is a robot manipulator configuration where the Jacobian loses rank, so the end-effector cannot move in some directions and joint velocities can spike.
Kinematic synthesis of linkages
Kinematic synthesis of linkages is the branch of mechanism design that determines linkage dimensions and geometry so the links produce a prescribed motion, path, or function.
Kinesthetic teaching
Kinesthetic teaching is a robot programming method in which a human physically moves the robot through a task, so its own sensors record the demonstration as training data.
Kinetic bombardment
Kinetic bombardment, known as "rods from God" and originally called Thor, is a theoretical space-to-Earth weapon in which satellites drop dense metal rods at hypersonic speed.
Kinetic energy penetrator
A kinetic energy penetrator, also called a long-rod penetrator, is a non-explosive projectile of dense tungsten or depleted uranium that defeats armor by concentrating kinetic energy on a small area.
Kinetic energy recovery system
A kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) is a vehicle system that captures braking energy, stores it, and returns it to assist acceleration; the term was coined in Formula 1.
Kinetics (dataset)
Kinetics is a family of large-scale video datasets for human action recognition created by Google DeepMind and first released in 2017, growing from 400 action classes to 700, with hundreds of thousands of 10-second YouTube clips.
Kinetik Holdings Inc.
Kinetik Holdings Inc. is an American midstream energy company serving the Delaware Basin in West Texas and New Mexico, formed in 2022 and headquartered in Houston and Midland.
Kineto-elastodynamics
Kineto-elastodynamics (KED) is a branch of mechanism and robot dynamics that analyzes moving mechanisms and manipulators with elastic deformations of flexible links, developed from the early 1970s for high-speed machinery.
KinetX Aerospace
KinetX Aerospace is a Phoenix-area, Arizona aerospace company, the first private company qualified by NASA for deep-space navigation, serving missions such as MESSENGER, New Horizons, and OSIRIS-REx.
King 1 Coal Mine
King 1 Coal Mine, also known as King #1, is a surface bituminous coal mine near Morrisdale in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, operated by King Coal Sales, Inc. since 1985.
King Abdulaziz International Airport (مطار الملك عبد العزيز الدولي)
King Abdulaziz International Airport (مطار الملك عبد العزيز الدولي) is Saudi Arabia's largest airport, opened in 1981 north of Jeddah as the main gateway to Makkah and Madinah.
King Abdullah Canal
The King Abdullah Canal (KAC) is Jordan's main water conveyor, a 110 km canal in the Jordan Valley built as the East Ghor Canal between 1959 and 1987.
King C. Gillette
King C. Gillette, born King Camp Gillette, was an American inventor and businessman who developed the safety razor with a disposable blade and founded the Gillette Safety Razor Company in 1901.
King Fahd Causeway (جسر الملك فهد)
King Fahd Causeway (جسر الملك فهد), also known as the Saudi-Bahrain Causeway, is a 25-kilometer bridge and causeway link between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, opened in 1986.
King Fahd Dam (سد الملك فهد)
The King Fahd Dam (سد الملك فهد) is a concrete gravity dam on Wadi Bishah in southwestern Saudi Arabia, completed in 1997 to recharge the aquifer and control floods.
King Fahd International Airport
King Fahd International Airport, also called Dammam Airport, serves Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and is the world's largest airport by land area at about 776 km².
King Faisal Air Base (Jordan)
King Faisal Air Base, also known as Al-Jafr Air Base, is a Royal Jordanian Air Force base near Al-Jafr in southern Jordan, built with Saudi funding.
King George V-class battleship (1939)
The King George V class was a class of five fast battleships built for the Royal Navy, its main big-gun force from 1941 to 1945.
King Khalid International Airport
King Khalid International Airport (KKIA, RUH) is the international airport serving Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, opened in 1983. It handled more than 37 million passengers in 2024.
King oil field (Norway)
King is an oil and gas discovery in the Balder area of the Norwegian North Sea, made in 2021 by Vår Energi and developed through an extended reach well from the Ringhorne platform.
King post
A king post is the central vertical member of a simple truss, running from the apex to the middle of the tie beam, and names the oldest truss form.
King Street Station
