Technology

Surface-mount technology

Surface-mount technology (SMT) is an electronics assembly method that mounts surface-mount devices (SMDs) directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs), enabling compact and efficient designs.^[27] This approach contrasts with through-hole technology by eliminating the need for leads passing through the board, allowing components to be placed on both sides of the PCB.^[28] SMT emerged in the 1960s, initially known as "planar mounting," and became a standard practice by the 1980s, driven by the demand for miniaturization in consumer electronics.^[29] Its adoption facilitated the production of smaller, lighter devices, revolutionizing industries like telecommunications and computing.^[30] The SMT process typically begins with the application of solder paste to the PCB pads using a stencil printer, which deposits a uniform layer of paste containing flux and solder particles.^[31] Components are then precisely placed onto the paste-covered pads by automated pick-and-place machines, which use vision systems to achieve high accuracy at speeds exceeding thousands of parts per hour.^[32] The assembly undergoes reflow soldering in a conveyorized oven, where controlled heating melts the solder paste, forming reliable electrical and mechanical connections as it cools.^[33] Thermal profiling during reflow ensures optimal temperature distribution to prevent defects like tombstoning or voids; a key principle involves the sensible heat equation for components and boards:

Q = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T

where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and \Delta T is the temperature change, helping model heat absorption rates.^[34] SMT offers significant advantages, including higher component density—up to ten times that of through-hole methods—enabling more functionality in reduced space and weight.^[35] This supports automated, high-volume production, lowering labor costs and improving reliability through consistent joints.^[28] By 2025, over 90% of PCBs incorporate SMT, reflecting its dominance in modern electronics manufacturing.^[36] Advancements continue in flexible electronics, where SMT adapts to bendable substrates for wearable and foldable devices.^[37] SMT also underpins hardware in computing, such as processors supporting simultaneous multithreading.^[38]

Satisfiability modulo theories

Satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) is a computational framework in mathematical logic and computer science that extends the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) by incorporating background theories, such as linear arithmetic, bit-vectors, arrays, or uninterpreted functions, to determine whether a first-order logic formula is satisfiable within those theories.^[39] Introduced in the early 2000s as a practical extension of SAT solvers, SMT emerged from advances in automated reasoning and the need for more expressive decision procedures in software and hardware analysis, building on earlier work from the late 1970s but gaining prominence with the rise of efficient SAT technology around 2000.^[40] This development was driven by applications in formal verification, where pure propositional SAT proved insufficient for modeling complex systems involving numerical constraints or data structures.^[39] SMT solvers have since become essential tools in software testing, enabling the detection of bugs by checking the satisfiability of formulas encoding program behaviors under various conditions.^[41] At its core, an SMT solver integrates a SAT solver, which handles the propositional structure of the formula, with specialized decision procedures (solvers) for the background theories to efficiently prune the search space.^[39] For instance, theories like linear integer arithmetic allow modeling numerical constraints, while array theories support reasoning about memory accesses; these are combined lazily, where the theory solvers are invoked only when necessary to check consistency of partial assignments.^[42] A prominent example is Z3, developed by Microsoft Research, which supports a wide range of theories including fixed-size bit-vectors for hardware modeling and strings for software analysis, and has been widely adopted for its efficiency in real-world verification tasks.^[41] The key algorithmic foundation for most modern SMT solvers is the DPLL(T) framework, which extends the Davis–Putnam–Logemann–Loveland (DPLL) procedure for SAT by incorporating theory reasoning.^[43] In DPLL(T), the SAT solver performs conflict-driven clause learning and backtracking on the Boolean skeleton, while theory solvers validate literals modulo the theory T; satisfiability is determined by checking whether there exists an assignment such that \exists x \, \phi(x) holds modulo T, where \phi(x) is the quantifier-free formula.^[43] This lazy integration ensures scalability, as theory propagations and explanations are computed incrementally to resolve conflicts.^[44] SMT finds broad applications in AI planning, where it encodes domain constraints and goals as theory-extended formulas to generate feasible plans, and in hardware verification, such as model checking circuits with arithmetic operations.^[39] By 2025, advancements have focused on integrating machine learning techniques to optimize SMT solving, such as using neural networks within DPLL(T) for guiding search in verifying deep learning models or embedding ML predictions directly into SMT-based planners for cyber-physical systems, improving efficiency in optimization tasks.^[45]^[46]

Simultaneous multithreading

Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a hardware multithreading technique in CPU architecture that enables a single physical core to execute multiple independent threads concurrently, thereby improving resource utilization and overall system throughput by interleaving instructions from different threads in the same clock cycle. This approach addresses inefficiencies in superscalar processors, where execution units often remain idle due to dependencies or latency stalls, by allowing threads to share functional units, pipelines, and caches while maintaining separate register files and program counters for each thread. The concept originated from research in the 1990s, with the foundational work outlined in the 1995 paper "Simultaneous Multithreading: Maximizing On-Chip Parallelism" by Dean M. Tullsen, Susan J. Eggers, Joel S. Emer, Henry M. Levy, Jack L. Lo, and Rebecca L. Stamm, which demonstrated potential speedups through simulation on superscalar designs. The first commercial hardware implementation of SMT appeared in Intel's Pentium 4 processors in November 2002, branded as Hyper-Threading Technology, which supported two threads per core and aimed to boost performance in threaded workloads. IBM introduced SMT shortly thereafter in its POWER5 processor in 2004, supporting dual threads per core in a dual-core design, marking a significant adoption in server environments. In SMT, threads compete for shared execution resources, but the design prioritizes dynamic scheduling to issue instructions from ready threads, effectively hiding latencies from branch mispredictions, cache misses, or I/O operations; for instance, if one thread stalls on a memory access, the processor can immediately dispatch instructions from another thread to keep execution units occupied. This mechanism typically results in an increase in instructions per cycle (IPC)—a key performance metric—with reported gains of up to 30% in aggregate throughput for mixed workloads, though benefits vary by application and can degrade under heavy contention. The throughput in an SMT processor can be modeled conceptually as

T = n \times \text{IPC},

where T represents overall throughput, n is the number of supported threads (commonly 2 or 4 in modern designs), and IPC is the effective instructions per cycle per thread, adjusted downward for resource contention and overheads such as increased cache pressure or scheduling complexity. As of 2025, SMT has seen widespread integration in ARM-based architectures, particularly in mobile SoCs for AI inference tasks—such as those in Qualcomm Snapdragon and MediaTek Dimensity series—where it enhances efficiency by maximizing core utilization without elevating thermal or power budgets, and in data center processors like AWS Graviton4 and Ampere Altra, contributing to up to 20-30% reductions in energy consumption for parallel workloads by enabling higher performance at lower frequencies. SMT techniques are also briefly applied in parallelizing solvers for satisfiability modulo theories in formal verification tools to leverage multi-threaded execution.^[47]

Statistical machine translation

Statistical machine translation (SMT) represents a data-driven approach to machine translation that relies on statistical models trained on large bilingual corpora to predict translations probabilistically. Pioneered by researchers at IBM in the late 1980s and early 1990s, SMT shifted the field from rule-based systems to empirical methods, achieving significant advancements through projects like IBM's Candide. This paradigm dominated machine translation research and applications throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, peaking in performance and adoption before the rise of neural machine translation around 2014–2016. At its core, SMT employs the noisy channel model, derived from information theory, to estimate the probability of a target sentence given a source sentence. The model posits that the source text is a "noisy" version of an intended target translation, and it seeks to recover the most likely target e for a given source f via Bayes' rule:

P(e \mid f) = \frac{P(f \mid e) \, P(e)}{P(f)}

Here, P(f \mid e) is the translation model capturing how source words or phrases align to target ones, P(e) is the language model ensuring target fluency, and P(f) is a normalization constant often ignored in maximization. Early IBM models (1–5) focused on word-based alignments to estimate these probabilities from parallel texts, while later phrase-based systems, introduced in the early 2000s, improved accuracy by handling multi-word units directly, better capturing idiomatic expressions and reordering. Key components include the language model, typically an n-gram model estimating target sentence fluency from monolingual data; the translation model, derived from fertility and alignment probabilities in bilingual corpora; and a decoder that performs efficient search—often beam search—to find the highest-probability translation among exponentially many candidates. Tools like the open-source Moses decoder, released in 2007, standardized phrase-based SMT implementation, enabling widespread experimentation and deployment for diverse language pairs. By 2025, while largely superseded by end-to-end neural methods for high-resource languages, SMT remains foundational in hybrid systems that combine statistical alignments with neural decoding, particularly for low-resource languages where parallel data is scarce. These hybrids leverage SMT's robustness to limited data for better initialization and augmentation in neural pipelines, improving translation quality in scenarios like English-to-low-resource Indic languages. The computational demands of decoding in SMT are often addressed through parallelization techniques, such as simultaneous multithreading, to handle large-scale search efficiently.

Transportation

SMT Rail

SMT Rail is an innovative light-rail transit system proposed by Smart Mass Transit Rail, founded in 2010 by inventor JP Mobasher in the United States, with research into transportation solutions beginning as early as 1987. The system serves as a sustainable urban and long-range rapid transit network, integrating solar and wind power generation directly into its infrastructure to create a multifunctional platform for mobility and renewable energy production.^[48]^[49] Key features include a patented levitated design using electromagnets for the smart karts, which range in size from single-passenger units to those accommodating up to 30 people or cargo, enabling fully automated operation monitored in real-time via command centers. The tracks consist of double rails elevated on lightweight towers, supporting multi-directional travel, curved paths, and modular extensions without disrupting the overall design; thin-film solar devices mounted above the rails generate energy not only for the transit system but also for transmission to external grids, effectively turning the network into a distributed solar and wind farm. These karts achieve speeds up to 200 mph through switcher arms equipped with piezo-electric actuators and magnetic systems, making the system suitable for both high-density urban environments and intercity connections, while ground-level stations enhance accessibility and reduce construction expenses.^[50]^[51] The design emphasizes zero-emission operations, with power requirements met entirely by on-track renewables, minimizing reliance on external energy sources and positioning SMT Rail as a green alternative to traditional rail systems. Automated features, such as GPS-enabled smartphone ordering and toll collection, further streamline user experience and operational efficiency. As of 2025, specific prototype testing and deployment partnerships remain absent from public records, with the system still in the proposed stage despite its patented elements and potential for scalability across diverse terrains.^[50]^[52] Cost benefits arise from the system's multifunctional nature, where energy production offsets operational and maintenance expenses—due to fewer moving parts and reduced wear—while generating additional revenue through solar and wind output as well as onboard advertising displays. This approach results in lower per-mile mobility costs compared to conventional transit modes, with installation expenses further decreased by the elevated, non-invasive track design that avoids extensive ground disruption.^[51]

Sequential manual transmission

A sequential manual transmission (SMT), also known as a sequential automated manual transmission, is an electronically controlled gearbox that automates the shifting process of a traditional manual transmission while allowing sequential gear selection, typically without a clutch pedal.^[53] It was first introduced in the late 1980s in motorsport, with Ferrari pioneering its use in the 1989 Ferrari 640 [Formula One car](/page/Formula One_car), featuring paddle shifters for rapid gear changes.^[54] By the 1990s, this technology transitioned to road-going sports cars, exemplified by Ferrari's F1 gearbox in models like the 1996 Ferrari F355, which eliminated the clutch pedal and used electronic controls for seamless operation.^[55] This innovation marked a shift toward high-performance drivetrains that prioritized speed and driver engagement over conventional H-pattern manuals.^[56] In operation, an SMT employs hydraulic or electric actuators to engage and disengage gears via a sequential drum mechanism, enabling shifts in a fixed order (up or down sequentially) without the need for a clutch during changes.^[57] Paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel are a common interface, allowing drivers to command shifts with a simple pull, while the system's electronic control unit (ECU) manages clutch operation, throttle blipping for downshifts, and synchronization to minimize interruption in power delivery.^[58] Shift times are exceptionally fast, often under 100 milliseconds—such as 38 ms in advanced motorsport setups—compared to 250–400 ms for traditional manual shifts, reducing power loss and improving acceleration.^[57]^[58] The dynamics of gear shifts in an SMT can be modeled using rotational mechanics, where the torque T required to accelerate the transmission components is given by the equation:

T = I \alpha

Here, I represents the moment of inertia of the rotating parts (such as gears and shafts), and \alpha is the angular acceleration during the shift.^[59] This relationship highlights how actuators must overcome inertial resistance to achieve rapid synchronization, contributing to the system's responsiveness in high-performance applications.^[60] Advantages of SMTs include enhanced performance through quicker shifts and reduced driver error. Fuel efficiency is comparable to or potentially better than traditional manual transmissions through optimized shift points (depending on driving style), and superior to conventional automatics due to the absence of a torque converter.^[61] As of 2025, there is growing interest in applying SMT concepts to electric vehicles (EVs) through simulated manual systems, with patents and prototypes developed by companies such as Ford, Honda, and Porsche, while established implementations continue in hybrid powertrains like the Porsche 911 GTS Hybrid's PDK system for precise control and efficiency.^[62]^[63]^[64]

Entertainment and media

Shin Megami Tensei

Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) is a long-running Japanese role-playing video game series developed and published primarily by Atlus, renowned for its dark fantasy narratives and innovative mechanics centered on demon summoning and moral decision-making.^[65] The franchise originated from the 1986 novel Digital Devil Story by Aya Nishitani, which inspired the first game, Megami Tensei, released in 1987 for the Famicom, marking Atlus's entry into the genre.^[65] The "Shin" prefix, meaning "true," was added with the 1992 Super Famicom title Shin Megami Tensei, which reimagined the series in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo blending cyberpunk and supernatural elements, establishing its core identity.^[65] By 2025, the core series, including mainline entries and direct spin-offs under the Megami Tensei umbrella, encompasses over 20 titles, with the broader franchise exceeding 50 games when accounting for various subseries.^[66] At its heart, SMT is a turn-based RPG where players control a protagonist who summons and manages demons drawn from global mythologies, including figures from Abrahamic, Shinto, Hindu, and other traditions.^[67] Central to gameplay is the demon fusion system, allowing players to combine captured demons to create stronger allies with inherited skills and attributes, adding strategic depth to party building and combat.^[67] Narratives typically unfold in apocalyptic settings, exploring themes of existential crisis, the conflict between order (Law) and chaos, human morality, and the blurred lines between divinity and humanity, often culminating in multiple endings based on player alignments.^[68] Demons are recruited through negotiation mini-games, emphasizing psychological and cultural nuance over brute force.^[65] Key releases include Shin Megami Tensei V, launched in November 2021 exclusively for Nintendo Switch, which introduced an open-world structure in a demon-infested alternate Tokyo, and its expanded edition Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance in June 2024 for multiple platforms, adding new story paths, demons, and gameplay modes.^[69] The series has spawned influential spin-offs, most notably the Persona subseries, which debuted in 1996 and shifts focus to psychological personas derived from SMT's demon mechanics while incorporating social simulation elements in modern high school settings.^[70] , along with 2025 releases such as Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army (June 19) and archival ports like Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX and Tokyo Requiem.^[71]^[72]^[73] SMT has profoundly shaped the JRPG genre by pioneering player-driven moral ambiguity and replayability through branching narratives, influencing titles with choice-based storytelling and mythological depth beyond traditional linear epics.^[74] In 2025, Atlus released Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army on June 19, a remaster of the Devil Summoner spin-off, and continued to tease major announcements for future Shin Megami Tensei projects.^[71]^[75]

SMT (sports broadcasting)

SMT in sports broadcasting refers to Sports Media Technology standards that enable augmented reality (AR) overlays integrated into live event coverage, allowing broadcasters to superimpose digital elements onto real-time video feeds for enhanced viewer comprehension and engagement. These standards emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s, building on pioneering applications like the virtual yellow first-down line in NFL games introduced in 1998 and puck-tracking graphics in NHL broadcasts from 1996, which laid the groundwork for more sophisticated AR integrations by the mid-2000s.^[76]^[77] By standardizing data processing and camera calibration protocols, SMT ensures seamless alignment of virtual graphics with physical action, transforming passive viewing into an interactive experience without disrupting the core broadcast flow.^[77] Core features of SMT include real-time player tracking, which uses optical sensors and AI algorithms to monitor athlete positions, speeds, and trajectories, enabling overlays such as heatmaps, trajectory predictions, and performance metrics displayed during play. Virtual advertising capabilities allow for targeted, non-intrusive ad insertions, such as digitally replacing stadium signage with region-specific commercials visible only to international audiences. These technologies have been prominently deployed in major events, including the FIFA World Cup, where AR overlays in the FIFA+ app provided live player statistics and heatmaps to stadium attendees and viewers starting from the 2022 tournament, and the Super Bowl, featuring SkyCam-integrated telestration for play breakdowns and virtual 3D quarterback visualizations since Super Bowl LII in 2018.^[78]^[79]^[80]^[81]^[82] In 2025, SMT advancements emphasize VR integration to create immersive viewing options, such as 360-degree replays and virtual stadium tours that allow fans to "sit" courtside or track plays from multiple angles via headsets, boosting engagement by up to 15% in early trials. These innovations align with broader ecosystem developments, including AI-driven personalization for multi-screen experiences. Industry bodies like the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) have established supporting standards, such as the 2018 AR guide for consumer device compatibility and the 2025 OGraf open graphics protocol, which promote interoperability across hardware and software in the global sports media landscape.^[83]^[84]^[85]^[86]^[87]^[88] Unlike proprietary systems, SMT operates as a collaborative tech ecosystem, fostering adoption in diverse applications.^[89]

Slang and abbreviations

Smiling to myself

"Smiling to myself" is an internet slang term abbreviated as SMT, used in online communication to convey subtle amusement, a private chuckle, or quiet irony without overt expression.^[90] This abbreviation allows users to indicate inward happiness or mild humor in response to content like memes, posts, or messages, often in a low-key manner.^[91] While less common than other interpretations of SMT such as "send me this," it has gained traction as a concise way to react digitally.^[92] The term emerged in social media contexts in the early 2020s, with documented uses appearing in online explanations of texting acronyms by late 2022.^[93] It gained popularity on platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) through user comments and captions by 2023–2025, where it spread among younger audiences sharing humorous or relatable content. For instance, a user might reply "That video has me SMT" to a lighthearted clip, signaling personal enjoyment without needing elaboration.^[94] Culturally, SMT fits within the broader ecosystem of Gen Z and Gen Alpha texting shorthand, functioning as a replacement for non-verbal cues like a smirk in face-to-face interactions.^[95] Users often enhance it with emojis, such as 😌 or 😉, to add nuance or emphasis to the implied smile.^[96] This evolution reflects the efficiency of digital shorthand in fast-paced online chats, prioritizing brevity over full phrases.^[97] Similar to other ambiguous acronyms, SMT for "smiling to myself" can overlap with expressions like "sucking my teeth" in casual usage, though the former denotes positive amusement.^[93]

Sucking my teeth

Sucking my teeth, often abbreviated as SMT in digital communication, is a slang term derived from a nonverbal gesture in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) involving the drawing of air through the teeth to create a sharp sucking sound, typically signaling irritation, disapproval, or defiance.^[98] This gesture traces its origins to African diaspora traditions, where it functions as a paralinguistic expression retained in AAVE communities as a cultural survival from West African and Caribbean influences.^[99] In online contexts, SMT emerged as a textual adaptation during the 2010s on platforms like Instagram, allowing users to convey the gesture's dismissive tone without audio, such as in phrases like "SMT at that excuse" paired with eye-rolling emojis to emphasize frustration.^[90] As of 2025, the term has become prevalent in memes, reaction videos, and social media commentary, particularly among younger users expressing annoyance in casual digital interactions.^[100] Its widespread adoption beyond AAVE speakers has fueled sociolinguistic studies on cultural appropriation, highlighting how non-Black creators on social media often borrow such expressions without acknowledging their roots, thereby diluting Black cultural contributions to language evolution.^[101] Regional variants of the gesture exhibit differences in nomenclature, pronunciation, and contextual intensity; for instance, it is known as "kissing teeth" in Caribbean English, producing a softer "chups" or "steups" sound for mild exasperation, while West African forms like "tchip" involve a sharper, more emphatic click often denoting stronger disdain.^[99]^[98] These variations underscore the gesture's adaptability across diasporic communities, though its core function as a marker of subtle disapproval remains consistent. SMT occasionally overlaps with other abbreviated online expressions like "smiling to myself" in capturing understated emotional responses, but it distinctly conveys negativity rather than amusement.

Other uses

Smt. (honorific)

Smt. is the standard abbreviation for Shrimati (Sanskrit: श्रीमती), a traditional honorific prefix denoting respect for married women, primarily used in India and extending to Hindu communities in neighboring South Asian countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh.^[102]^[103] The term originates from Sanskrit, where shri signifies auspiciousness, prosperity, or radiance, combined with matī implying a noble or esteemed lady, effectively translating to "Mrs." or "Lady" in English equivalents.^[104] This honorific reflects deep cultural roots in Indian social etiquette, emphasizing reverence for women's roles within family and society. In practice, Smt. precedes a woman's given name or full name in formal correspondence, official documents, and public addresses, such as Smt. Indira Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India whose title underscored her marital status alongside her professional stature. It is distinct from Kumari (abbreviated Km.), used for unmarried women, thereby explicitly signaling marital status as a marker of social maturity and respect.^[103] The convention evolved in the colonial period as Indian administrative and literary practices adopted abbreviated English-style prefixes for efficiency in bilingual officialdom, blending indigenous Sanskrit terms with British formatting norms.^[105] Culturally, Smt. embodies patriarchal norms by tying a woman's identity to marriage, yet it also elevates her status through honorific veneration, a practice sustained in Hindu traditions across South Asia.^[106] As of 2025, it remains prevalent in governmental and institutional contexts, as evidenced by its use for President Smt. Droupadi Murmu in official reports.^[107] However, amid growing gender equality movements, alternatives are emerging. Legislative bodies, such as the Delhi Assembly, are also adopting gender-neutral terminology in rules as of 2025, signaling a shift toward inclusivity.^[108]
