White Knighting (白騎士症候群) is a term used to describe a behavior where someone (often a man) intervenes in a situation to defend or rescue another person (often a woman), who may not need or want help.

EDA (Electronic Design Automation) refers to specialized software tools that automate the design, simulation, verification, and manufacturing of electronic systems—especially integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). EDA tools function like a combination of AutoCAD, Photoshop, QA, and project management for chip design. Leading companies in this field include Synopsis (新思科技), Cadence Design Systems, and Siemens EDA (Mentor Graphics). Without EDA, the development of modern electronics would not be feasible.
Ditto is an English term that means “the same as stated above” or “likewise.” It is often used to avoid repeating something that has already been mentioned.
