Bandicam
Bandicam (stylized as BANDICAM) is a closed-source screen capture and screen recording software originally developed by Bandisoft and later by Bandicam Company that can take screenshots or record screen changes. Bandicam is available in Spanish, English, French, Turkish, Arabic, Indonesian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and German.
4DX
4DX (Four-Dimensional eXperience) is a 4D film presentation system developed by CJ 4DPlex, a subsidiary of South Korean theater chain CJ CGV. It allows films to be augmented with various practical effects, including motion-seats, wind, strobelights, snow, water, and scents. First used in 2009, it presents films in both stereoscopic 3D and monoscopic 2D formats.
PMOS logic
p-type MOSFETs to implement logic gates
VC-1
SMPTE 421, informally known as VC-1, is a video coding format. Most of it was initially developed as Microsoft's proprietary video format Windows Media Video 9 in 2003. With some enhancements including the development of a new Advanced Profile, it was officially approved as an SMPTE standard on April 3, 2006. It was primarily marketed as a lower-complexity competitor to the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard. After its development, several companies other than Microsoft asserted that they held patents that applied to the technology, including Panasonic, LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics.
GDDR4
type of SDRAM specifically designed for graphics processing units
GDDR6
type of synchronous graphics random-access memory
thundersticks

Thundersticks, sometimes known as bambams, are long, narrow plastic balloons that are used as promotional noise makers. The noise is created when two thundersticks are struck together. They are most often used at sporting events.
MPMan
The MPMan music player, manufactured by the South Korean company SaeHan Information Systems, debuted in Asia in March 1998, and was the first mass-produced portable solid state digital audio player.
gate oxide
dielectric layer of a MOSFET separating the source and drain from the gate terminal
FET amplifier
Device using a field effect transistor
