4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a horizontal resolution in the order of 4,000 pixels.
 Several 4K resolutions exist in the fields of digital television and digital cinematography.
 In television and consumer media, 4K UHD or UHD-1 is the dominant 4K standard.
 In the movie projection industry, Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) is the dominant 4K standard.
 By 2015, 4K television market share had increased greatly as prices fell dramatically during 2014 and 2015.
 By 2025, more than half of U.S. households are expected to have a 4K-capable TV (2160p), which would be a much faster adoption rate than that of Full HD (1080p).
Kapes is an extinct genus of procolophonid parareptile from the Lower and Middle Triassic of the United Kingdom and Russia.
 It is a member of the subfamily Procolophoninae.
 The type species "K. amaenus" was named in 1975 from the banks of the Vychegda River in the Komi Republic of Russia.
 In 1983, a new species was brought into the genus, "K. majmesculae".
 "K. majmesculae" was first named in 1968 as a member of the genus "Tichvinskia".
 A third Russian species, "K. serotinus", was named in 1991.
 In 2002, "Kapes bentoni" was named from the Middle Triassic Otter Sandstone Formation of Devon, England, extending the geographic range of "Kapes".
 In the same paper, "K. serotinus" was synonymized with "K. majmesculae" and another Russian species was assigned to "Kapes" called "K. komiensis".
 "K. komiensis" was first named in 1975 (in the same paper "K. amaenus" was named in) as a member of the genus "Macrophon".
The Type Zhongzheng rifle (中正式), also known as the "Chiang Kai-shek/Jiang Jieshi Rifle", "Generalissimo Rifle", and "Type 24" (二四式) after the Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, was a Chinese-made copy of the German Mauser M1924, the forerunner of the Karabiner 98k.
 Pre-production of the Chiang Kai-shek rifle started in August 1935 (year 24 of the Republican calendar, hence the Type 24).
 It was later renamed the Type Zhongzheng and was in full-scale production as early as late 1935.
 It was designated the Type 79 by the Chinese Communists and would often have the ideograph of Chiang defaced by them.
 Although the Hanyang 88 rifle was produced in greater numbers than the Type Zhongzheng, the full standardization of the Type Zhongzheng rifle only started during the Second Sino-Japanese war.
The Audi Type K was a car introduced by Audi at the Berlin Motor Show in September 1921.
 Since the end of the war Audi had till now produced only cars of pre-war design, so that the Type K was the first post-war Audi design to be offered.
 The Type K entered production in 1922 and was withdrawn in 1925, by which time the company had commenced production, in 1924, their Type M model which can be seen as a larger replacement for the Type K.
 The Audi Type K was the first volume produced car in Germany to feature left-hand drive.
In DVD authoring, a write strategy is a set of low-level parameters that enables an optical disc drive to write on a specific type of blank media according to its optimum specifications.
 The media type is identified by the manufacturer and media ID, which is often unrelated to the brand of the media due to rebadging.
 Write strategies are essential for compatibility with various types of blank media, and are typically stored in the drive's firmware.
 If a drive lacks a write strategy for a media type, it will only be able to write using minimum speed.
 Drive manufacturers typically include new or improved write strategies as part of a firmware upgrade, in order to extend or improve compatibility with blank media.
 In cases where official support for a drive has been discontinued or is deemed unsatisfactory, users have come up with ways to patch the write strategies by modding the drive's firmware.
A.K. is a 1985 French documentary film directed by Chris Marker about the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.
 Though it was filmed while Kurosawa was working on "Ran", the film focuses more on Kurosawa's remote but polite personality than on the making of the film.
 The film is sometimes seen as being reflective of Marker's fascination with Japanese culture, which he also drew on for one of his best-known films, "Sans Soleil".
 The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.
The Roth 401(k) is a type of retirement savings plan.
 It was authorized by the United States Congress under the Internal Revenue Code, section 402A, and represents a unique combination of features of the Roth IRA and a traditional 401(k) plan.
 Since January 1, 2006, U.S. employers have been allowed to amend their 401(k) plan document to allow employees to elect Roth IRA type tax treatment for a portion or all of their retirement plan contributions.
 The same change in law allowed Roth IRA type contributions to 403(b) retirement plans.
 The Roth retirement plan provision was enacted as a provision of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA 2001).
A media type (also MIME type and content type) is a two-part identifier for file formats and format contents transmitted on the Internet.
 The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the official authority for the standardization and publication of these classifications.
 Media types were originally defined in Request for Comments 2045 in November 1996 as a part of "MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)" specification, for denoting type of email message content and attachments; hence the name "MIME type".
 Media types are also used by other internet protocols such as HTTP and document file formats such as HTML, for similar purpose.
