"prime implicant" meaning in All languages combined

See prime implicant on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: prime implicants [plural]
Etymology: An implicant (Boolean product term) which is called "prime" because none of its proper factors is itself an implicant. Head templates: {{en-noun}} prime implicant (plural prime implicants)
  1. (electrical engineering) A group of related 1's (implicant) on a Karnaugh map which is not subsumed by any other implicant in the same map. Equivalently (in terms of Boolean algebra), a product term which is a "minimal" implicant in the sense that removing any of its literals will yield a product term which is not an implicant (but beware: on a Karnaugh map it would appear "maximal"). Categories (topical): Electrical engineering
    Sense id: en-prime_implicant-en-noun-aOi9k-tB Categories (other): English entries with incorrect language header Disambiguation of English entries with incorrect language header: 50 50 Topics: business, electrical, electrical-engineering, electricity, electromagnetism, energy, engineering, natural-sciences, physical-sciences, physics
  2. (electrical engineering) A group of related 0's (implicant) on a Karnaugh map which is not subsumed by any other implicant (of 0's) in the same map. Categories (topical): Electrical engineering
    Sense id: en-prime_implicant-en-noun-ki0aTJwe Categories (other): English entries with incorrect language header Disambiguation of English entries with incorrect language header: 50 50 Topics: business, electrical, electrical-engineering, electricity, electromagnetism, energy, engineering, natural-sciences, physical-sciences, physics
