Suspicious, the Blight discovers that one of the ships contains a data storage device in its cargo manifest ; assuming it contains information that could harm it, the Blight destroys the ship.

For instance, one could now make a " Printers " zone that would list all the printers in an organization, or one might want to place that same device in the " 2nd Floor " zone to indicate its physical location.

It did not depend on the AIM client and could be used with only an AIM screenname via the WebConnect feature or a dedicated SIP device.

Eventually a product called the " Goldfingers device " was created that could unlock the CPU, named after the gold connector pads on the processor board that it attached to.

" Since the term " CPU " is generally defined as a device for software ( computer program ) execution, the earliest devices that could rightly be called CPUs came with the advent of the stored-program computer.

But telegraph operators were already using typewriters with QWERTY keyboards to " copy " received messages, and at the time it made more sense to build a typewriter that could generate the codes automatically, rather than making them learn to use a new input device.

A description of how the device could be used as a shift register and as a linear and area imaging devices was described in this first entry.

This purely mechanical hand-held device could do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

This device had the camera mounted on a vertical axis that could be rotated by a worm gear driven by turning a crank handle, and Paul put it on general sale the next year.

" A deeply religious man, working in Counter Reformation Rome, Bernini used light as an important metaphorical device in the perception of his religious settings, often using hidden light sources that could intensify the focus of religious worship, or enhance the dramatic moment of a sculptural narrative.

In his 1940 essay " Theses on the Philosophy of History ," scholar Walter Benjamin compares historical materialism to The Turk, an 18th Century device which was promoted as a mechanized automaton which could defeat skilled chess players but actually concealed a human who controlled the machine.

The 8080 device, often described as the first truly useful microprocessor, was eventually replaced by the depletion-load based 8085 ( 1977 ) which could cope with a single 5V power supply instead of the three different operating voltages of earlier chips.

ICs were made possible by experimental discoveries showing that semiconductor devices could perform the functions of vacuum tubes and by mid-20th-century technology advancements in semiconductor device fabrication.

Realising that the company could not meet this level of demand, Brewster requested permission from Carpenter on 17 May 1818 for the device to be made by other manufacturers, to which he agreed.

" The actual person from Porlock mentioned could be many people, including Wordsworth, Joseph Cottle, John Thelwall, Coleridge's wife, or merely a literary device.

The device was fixed underwater at Temple Pier in Urquhart Bay and directed towards the opposite shore, effectively drawing an acoustic ' net ' across the width of Ness through which no moving object could pass undetected.

Kleist was convinced that a substantial electric charge could be collected when he received a significant shock from the device.

* Supercool microfluidics-Our understanding of life and technology at extreme temperatures could become clearer thanks to a microfluidic device that studies ice formation – reported in Chemical Technology from the Royal Society of Chemistry

This requires careful sample preparation, since electrons are scattered so strongly by most materials. This is a scientific device that allows people to see objects that could normally not be seen by the naked or unaided eye.

MEMS became practical once they could be fabricated using modified semiconductor device fabrication technologies, normally used to make electronics.

Manufacturers used this voltage to link instruments together so that one device could control one or more others, but this system was inadequate for control of newer polyphonic and digital synthesizers.

For example, in a web browser, the user could navigate to the previously viewed page by pressing the right pointing device button, moving the pointing device briefly to the left, then releasing the button.

Bayesian methods would suggest that one hypothesis was more probable than the other, but individual Bayesians might differ about which was the more probable and by how much, by virtue of having used different priors ; but that's the same thing as disagreeing on significance levels, except significance levels are just an ad hoc device which are not really a probability, while priors are not only justified by the rules of probability, but there is definitely a normative methodology to define beliefs ; so even if a Bayesian wanted to express complete ignorance ( as a frequentist claims to do but does it wrong ), they could do it with the maximum entropy principle.

Arguably, any device used to record sound or reproduce recorded sound could be called a type of " phonograph ", but in common practice it has come to mean historic technologies of sound recording.

The strings allow the patient or clinician to periodically check to ensure the IUD is still in place and to enable easy removal of the device.

A CRC-enabled device calculates a short, fixed-length binary sequence, known as the check value or improperly the CRC, for each block of data to be sent or stored and appends it to the data, forming a codeword.

When a codeword is received or read, the device either compares its check value with one freshly calculated from the data block, or equivalently, performs a CRC on the whole codeword and compares the resulting check value with an expected residue constant.

It was no yielding to a people crying for liberty, but the shrewd device of an autocrat, anxious to use the mass of the people as a check upon his hereditary foes among the greater baronage.

The doctor uses a device called an ophthalmoscope to check the eye.

The IMEI ( 14 decimal digits plus a check digit ) or IMEISV ( 16 digits ) includes information on the origin, model, and serial number of the device.

A check valve, clack valve, non-return valve or one-way valve is a mechanical device, a valve, which normally allows fluid ( liquid or gas ) to flow through it in only one direction.

For example, a double check valve is often used as a backflow prevention device to keep potentially contaminated water from siphoning back into municipal water supply lines.

Another use for Schrader valves is in the fuel injector rail of many automobiles, where it is used as a quick and easy point to check fuel pressure and to connect a cleaner injection device or cleaner cartridge.

His father managed to remove the device and confronted his son, who callously shot Sabretooth's assistant Birdy, a mutant telepath whom Sabretooth employed to keep his homicidal rages in check.

To check whether the video controller provides the required functions and whether the X device driver implements XVideo for any of them, one can use the < tt > xvinfo </ tt > program.

In most cases, the law requires a double check ( DC ), n Reduced Pressure Principle Device ( RP ) device or an air gap when backflow prevention is mandated.

A double check valve or double check assembly ( DCA ) is a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination.

If the hazard is higher, even a relatively low hazard such as using antifreeze in the fire sprinkler system, then a more reliable check valve such as a Reduced pressure zone device may be mandated.

An automatic time clock for operating electric range lights came into use in 1926, and by 1933, a photo electric-controlled alarm device had been developed to check the operation of the unwatched electric light.

A check writer ( also known as a " ribbon writer ", " check signer ", or " check embosser "), is a physical device for protecting a check by preventing the monetary amount for which it was written from being raised or altered.

Because physical check writers and ribbon writers are now considered antique, businesses that still need this check protection technology such as a business, or organization which regularly prepares remittances by issuing high-amount checks can use a physical check writing device.
