TRANSCRIPT
Address Resolution Protocol ARP Stuffing
1 This is a solution to an issue in network management of consumer devices,
specifically the allocation of IP addresses of ethernet devices where 1) the user
doesn't have the ability to control DHCP or similar address allocation protocols, 2) the device doesn't have a user interface
to configure it, and 3) the user's computer can't communicate with it
because it has no suitable IP address.

Microprocessor - 8-bit designs
1 The Western Design Center, Inc (WDC) introduced the CMOS 65C02 in 1982 and
licensed the design to several firms. It was used as the CPU in the Apple IIe and IIc personal
computers as well as in medical implantable grade pacemakers and defibrillators,
automotive, industrial and consumer devices. WDC pioneered the licensing of microprocessor
designs, later followed by ARM and other microprocessor Intellectual Property (IP)
providers in the 1990s.

Crystal oscillator
1 Quartz crystals are manufactured for frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to
hundreds of megahertz. More than two billion crystals are manufactured annually. Most are used for consumer devices such
as wristwatches, clocks, radios, computers, and cellphones. Quartz crystals are also
found inside test and measurement equipment, such as counters, signal
generators, and oscilloscopes.

Sony - Audio encoding
1 Sony and Philips jointly developed the Sony-Philips digital interface format (S/PDIF) and the high-fidelity audio
system SACD. The later has since been entrenched in a format war with DVD-Audio. At present, neither has gained a major foothold with the general public.
CDs are preferred by consumers because of ubiquitous presence of CD drives in
consumer devices.

hopping spread spectrum systems in the unregulated 2.4 GHz band, many consumer devices in that band have employed various spread-spectrum
modes.
