There are also rare cases of systems, e. g. the Field-Reversed Configuration, predicted by MHD to be unstable, but which are observed to be stable, probably due to kinetic effects.

This family of " warehouse appliance-like " systems was given the name IBM Balanced Configuration Unit, or BCU, and is aimed at the warehouse appliance market typified by Netezza and DATAllegro, but it differentiates itself in that it uses the full-featured version of DB2 instead of a single-purpose warehouse-oriented RDBMS.

System Center Configuration Manager ( CM12 or CM07 or ConfigMgr or Configuration Manager ), formerly Systems Management Server ( SMS ), is a systems management software product by Microsoft for managing large groups of Windows-based computer systems.

Unique to DW's drum kits are its True-Pitch tuning rods ( tension rods with finer threads ), DW's Coated / Clear drumheads made by Remo, STM tom mounts, and Specialized Shell Configuration ( SSC ), which allows the customer to choose between X, VLT ( Vertical Low Timbre ), or VLX shells for a unique sound.

* Configuration Identification ( CI ): Consists of setting and maintaining baselines, which define the system or subsystem architecture, components, and any developments at any point in time.

Configuration of resource limits for qmail components mitigates the vulnerability.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) is a network protocol that is used to configure network devices so that they can communicate on an IP network.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automates network-parameter assignment to network devices from one or more DHCP servers.

If IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration is unsuitable for an application, a network may use stateful configuration with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 ( DHCPv6 ) or hosts may be configured statically.

At the SVG Open 2005 conference, Sun demonstrated a mobile implementation of SVG Tiny 1. 1 for the Connected Limited Device Configuration ( CLDC ) platform.

Theodora Kroeber's biography of her husband, Alfred Kroeber: A Personal Configuration, is a good source for Le Guin's early years and for the biographical elements in her late works, especially her interest in social anthropology.

Such films as Welcome Home, Johnny Bristol ( 1972 ) and The Ninth Configuration ( 1979 ) were innovative in depicting veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, before this syndrome became widely known.

Configuration of these two features in tandem often requires tuning of timing parameters and thorough testing.

Configuration management ( CM ) is a process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product ’ s performance and functional and physical attributes with its requirements, design and operational information throughout its life.

Configuration Management ( CM ) as a formal management approach was developed by the USAF for the DoD in the 1950s as a technical management discipline for hardware material items — and it is now a standard practice in virtually every industry.

* CM Planning and Management: A formal document and plan to guide the CM program that includes items such as: Personnel ; Responsibilities and Resources ; Training requirements ; Administrative meeting guidelines, including a definition of procedures and tools ; baselining processes ; Configuration control and Configuration status accounting ; Naming conventions ; Audits and Reviews ; and Subcontractor / Vendor CM requirements.

* Configuration Control: Includes the evaluation of all change requests and change proposals, and their subsequent approval or disapproval.

* Configuration Status Accounting: Includes the process of recording and reporting configuration item descriptions ( e. g., hardware, software, firmware, etc.

* Configuration Verification and Audit: An independent review of hardware and software for the purpose of assessing compliance with established performance requirements, commercial and appropriate military standards, and functional, allocated, and product baselines.

Configuration audits verify the system and subsystem configuration documentation complies with their functional and physical performance characteristics before acceptance into an architectural baseline.

* Configuration identification is the process of identifying the attributes that define every aspect of a configuration item.

SBIRS is an integrated " system of systems " that will include satellites in geosynchronous orbit ( GEO ), sensors hosted on satellites in highly elliptical orbit ( HEO ), and ground-based data processing and control.

In December 2005, following the third SBIRS Nunn-McCurdy violation, the government decided to compete GEO 4 and 5, with an option to buy the GEO 3 contingent based on the performance of the first two.

The first GEO satellite of the SBIRS program, GEO-1, was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral on an Atlas V rocket on May 7, 2011.

SBIRS High GEO 1 was launched on May 7, 2011.

Lockheed Martin also provides the satellite for SBIRS GEO.

A complement of satellites in low earth orbit was planned as part of the program ( SBIRS Low ), but this has been moved into the STSS program.

The SBIRS Low contract is now managed by the Missile Defense Agency ( MDA ) and has been subsequently renamed to the Space Tracking and Surveillance System ( STSS ).

The SBIRS Low program was originally expected to consist of about 24 satellites in low earth orbit.

The primary purpose of SBIRS Low was the tracking of ballistic missiles and discriminating between the warheads and other objects, such as decoys, that separate from the missile bodies throughout the middle portion of their flights.

Air Force Space Command's SBIRS Wing at the Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles AFB, California is responsible for development and acquisition of the satellites.

DSP satellites will be replaced by the Space-Based Infrared System ( SBIRS ) satellites.

The project was originally to have had a life of 25 satellites, but the last two have been canceled, mainly due to SBIRS.

The Space-Based Infrared System ( SBIRS ) is a consolidated system intended to meet the United States ' infrared space surveillance needs through the first two to three decades of the 21st century.

The SBIRS program is designed to provide key capabilities in the areas of missile warning, missile defense and battlespace characterization.

SBIRS ground software integrates infrared sensor programs of the U. S. Air Force ( USAF ) with new IR sensors.

SBIRS continues to struggle with cost overruns, with Nunn-McCurdy breaches occurring in 2001 and 2005.

Additionally, the government started a potential SBIRS High replacement program, writing out proposals in June 2006.

SBIRS GEO-2 is expected to be launched in 2013.

SBIRS is to use more sophisticated infrared technologies than the DSP to enhance the detection of strategic and theater ballistic missile launches and the performance of the missile-tracking function.

SBIRS High ( also now simply referred to as " SBIRS ") is to consist of four dedicated satellites operating in geosynchronous earth orbit, and sensors on two host satellites operating in a highly elliptical orbit.

SBIRS High will replace the Defense Support Program satellites and is intended primarily to provide enhanced strategic and theater ballistic missile warning capabilities.

Two SBIRS sensors hosted on two classified satellites in highly elliptical orbit have already been launched, probably as part of the NROL-22 ( USA 184 ) and NROL-28 ( USA 200 ) launches in 2006 and 2008.

The prime contractor for SBIRS is Lockheed Martin, with Northrop Grumman as the major subcontractor.
