Pneumatically or electrically linked dead-man's controls, still used today, involve relatively simple modifications of the controller handle, the device that regulates traction power.

It was also possible to do machine to machine editing between a BVW-10 / 15 and BVW-40 without an edit controller — a single serial cable between the units was all, that was required to control the player from the recorder in performing simple assemble and insert editing.

System calls requiring block-level I / O pass LBA definitions to the storage device driver ; for simple cases ( where one volume maps to one physical drive ), this LBA is then passed directly to the drive controller.

This could be as simple as a mouse, and as sophisticated as a MIDI controller keyboard, or an automated fader board for mixing track volumes.

* Minimum hardware and CPU real estate for simple controller applications

A simple disk array controller may fit inside a computer, either as a PCI expansion card or just built onto a motherboard.

An open-loop controller is often used in simple processes because of its simplicity and low cost, especially in systems where feedback is not critical.

Brushed DC motors can be regulated by a comparatively simple controller, such as a rheostat ( variable resistor ).

Most arcade-style driving games can be played with a simple joystick controller or even a mouse and keyboard.

A derivative of the thyristor drive is the simple AC phase controller.

Xerox gives you this feature through this simple command "( formname ) SETFORM ", where formname is the name of the form accessible from the Xerox printer controller ( DocuSP or FreeFlow Print Server ).

A PID controller can be used to get better performance than a simple inverting amplifier.

The railroad wheelsets attached to the aft portion of the trailer were lowed pneumatically by activating a simple valve controller on the left rear of the trailer.

simple case uses one-way ( a single

* User-defined functions: simple one-line functions written in BASIC, with a single parameter

The Precision Bass ( or " P-bass ") evolved from a simple, uncontoured " slab " body design similar to that of a Telecaster with a single coil pickup, to a contoured body design with beveled edges for comfort and a single four-pole " single coil pickup.

A simple batch processing arrangement ran only a single " job " at a time, one after another.

Both simple pipelining and superscalar design increase a CPU's ILP by allowing a single processor to complete execution of instructions at rates surpassing one instruction per cycle ( IPC ).

While the goals are sweeping, the conspiratorial machinery is generally simple: a single, evil organization implements a plan to infiltrate and subvert existing institutions.

In theoretical computer science, currying provides a way to study functions with multiple arguments in very simple theoretical models such as the lambda calculus in which functions only take a single argument.

Some undergraduate courses require a team of 2 to 5 students to design, implement, and test a simple CPU in a FPGA in a single 15 week semester.

A simple example of this is a single loop of wire with some constant current flowing through it.

This simple " re-linking " of related data back into a single collection is something that traditional computer languages are not designed for.

) as well as providing a simple system for finding and returning sets of data in a single operation.

The Nova was packaged into a single rack mount case and had enough power to do most simple computing tasks.

By contrast, for higher frequency radiations at ultraviolet frequencies and above ( i. e., X-rays and gamma rays ) the damage to chemical materials and living cells by EMR is far larger than that done by simple heating, due to the ability of single photons in such high frequency EMR to damage individual molecules chemically.

For example, just by applying a simple rule that constrains each queen to a single column ( or row ), though still considered brute force, it is possible to reduce the number of possibilities to just 16, 777, 216 ( that is, 8 < sup > 8 </ sup >) possible combinations.

The observed charge quantization, namely the fact that all known elementary particles carry electric charges which appear to be exact multiples of of the " elementary " charge, has led to the idea that hypercharge interactions and possibly the strong and weak interactions might be embedded in one Grand Unified interaction described by a single, larger simple symmetry group containing the Standard Model.

Presses vary from simple, inexpensive single stage models, to complex progressive models that will eject a loaded cartridge with each pull of a lever, at rates of 10 rounds a minute.

In addition to its amplitude, the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is characterized by its period T, the time for a single oscillation or its frequency f =, the number of cycles per unit time.

Coalitions are formed by the political parties, in case no single party gains a simple majority in the lower house.

Representation of intron and exons within a simple gene containing a single intron.

To keep the operating system ( relatively ) simple, these machines would not be shared, but would be dedicated to a single user.

Linear search is usually very simple to implement, and is practical when the list has only a few elements, or when performing a single search in an unordered list.

This approach is simple and modular, but has the disadvantage that the model itself can be expensive to store, and also that it forces a single model to be used for all data being compressed, and so performs poorly on files containing heterogeneous data.

At present in 2007 the practice of nanotechnology embraces both stochastic approaches ( in which, for example, supramolecular chemistry creates waterproof pants ) and deterministic approaches wherein single molecules ( created by stochastic chemistry ) are manipulated on substrate surfaces ( created by stochastic deposition methods ) by deterministic methods comprising nudging them with STM or AFM probes and causing simple binding or cleavage reactions to occur.
