1. BRANE

   BRANE (Bombing Radar Navigation Equipment) was an airborne computer designed and built by IBM in the 1950s during the Cold War. BRANE was developed under contract to the United States Air Force for the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress nuclear bomber. At a time when computers were the size of large rooms, in order to build a computer that could function on an aircraft, engineers at IBM solved the problems of size, weight, power, reliability and maintenance by using a modular design; with parts that could be located where space was available and components replaced in-flight when they failed. IBM built a facility in Owego, New York to boost production capacity.

1. Brane

   In theoretical physics, a brane is a physical object that generalizes the notion of a point particle to higher dimensions. For example, a point particle can be viewed as a brane of dimension zero, while a string can be viewed as a brane of dimension one. It is also possible to consider higher-dimensional branes. In dimension p, these are called p-branes. The word brane comes from "membrane", which is equivalent to a two-dimensional brane. Branes are dynamical objects that can propagate through spacetime according to the rules of quantum mechanics. They have mass and can have other attributes such as charge. A p-brane sweeps out a-dimensional volume in spacetime called its worldvolume. Physicists often study fields analogous to the electromagnetic field that couple to the worldvolume of a brane. In string theory and related theories, D-branes are an important class of branes that arise when one considers open strings. As an open string propagates through spacetime, its endpoints are required to lie on a D-brane. The letter "D" in D-brane refers to the fact that we impose a certain mathematical condition on the system known as the Dirichlet boundary condition.
