Well that makes sense as I knew that fact, just never saw that acronym
before.  BTW,  I took a course on switching power supplies from  Dr.
Slobodan Cuk in California.  He owns a company called TESLAco in Irvine,
CA.  He is a staunch Tesla fan as he is a refugee born in the same town
as Tesla. he was not particularly interested in coiling, though.  

Just some useless trivia.
