2. Image intensifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_intensifier

   An image intensifier or image intensifier tube is a vacuum tube device for increasing the intensity of available light in an optical system to allow use under low-light conditions, such as at night, to facilitate visual imaging of low-light processes, such as fluorescence of materials in X-rays or gamma rays (X-ray image intensifier), or for conversion of non-visible light sources, such as ...

3. Mirror image - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

   In geometry, the mirror image of an object or two-dimensional figure is the virtual image formed by reflection in a plane mirror; it is of the same size as the original object, yet different, unless the object or figure has reflection symmetry (also known as a P-symmetry).

4. Buck converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_converter

   A buck converter or step-down converter is a DC-to-DC converter which decreases voltage, while increasing current, from its input to its output . It is a class of switched-mode power supply . Switching converters (such as buck converters) provide much greater power efficiency as DC-to-DC converters than linear regulators , which are simpler ...

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Image_size

   Compression of an image to reduce file size (in Kb) is usually "lossy" and is not advised for featured pictures.Image compression will reduce download times and save disk space, but it does so at the expense of fine detail and overall image quality.

   A three-way catalytic converter on a gasoline-powered 1996 Dodge Ram Simulation of flow inside a catalytic converter. A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device which converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction.
