Early versions of the Clyde McCoy featured an image of McCoy on the bottom panel, which soon gave way to only his signature.

Early D-1 operations were plagued with difficulties, though the format quickly stabilized and is still renowned for its superb standard definition image quality ( Larcher, D. ( 2011 ).

Early shift-and-add techniques aligned images according to the image centroid, giving a lower overall Strehl ratio.

Early image of the TCU campus in Fort Worth.

In 1986, Peter L. Jakab, National Air and Space Museum ( NASM ) Associate Director and Curator of Early Flight, wrote that the image " may very well have been an in-flight photograph " of one of Whitehead's gliders.

It is not known what the role of the image was in Early Buddhism, although many surviving images can be found, because their symbolic or representative nature was not clearly explained in early texts.

Early in 2005, a new JPEG compression system was released that regularly obtained compression in the order of 25 % ( meaning a compressed file size 75 % of the original file size ) without any further loss of image quality and with the ability to rebuild the original file, not just the original image.

Early Christian image of the Good Shepherd.

; Acoustic tablets: Early models were described as spark tablets — a small sound generator was mounted in the stylus, and the acoustic signal picked up by two microphones placed near the writing surface.

Early applications were for use as an air compressor or as a gas generator for a gas turbine, such as the Pratt & Whitney PT1 design.

* Early D Codes utilized a generator and later D Codes utilized an alternator.

Early slip energy recovery systems using electromechanical components for AC-DC-AC conversion ( i. e., consisting of rectifier, DC motor and AC generator ) are termed Kramer drives, more recent systems using variable-frequency drives ( VFDs ) being referred to as static Kramer drives.

Early number systems that included positional notation were not decimal, including the sexagesimal ( base 60 ) system for Babylonian numerals and the vigesimal ( base 20 ) system that defined Maya numerals

Early in his career his professional areas of interest lay in the simulation of strategies in collective action dilemmas, simulation of party behavior in proportional voting systems, and the use of surveys in public administration.

Early microcomputer bus systems were essentially a passive backplane connected directly or through buffer amplifiers to the pins of the CPU.

( Early systems allowed " oblique " axes, that is, axes that did not meet at right angles.

Early wet cells powered the first telegraph and telephone systems, and were the source of current for electroplating.

Early public-key systems are secure assuming that it is difficult to factor a large integer composed of two or more large prime factors.

Early systems could not support one, since programs were prepared using flowcharts, entering programs with punched cards ( or paper tape, etc.

During the 80's the Airborne Early Warning / Ground Environment Integration Segment ( AEGIS ) upgraded the original NADGE systems with the possibility to integrate the AWACS ( the E-3 Sentry built by Boeing ) information into its visual displays.

Early mages cultivated their magical beliefs alone or in small groups, generally conforming to and influencing the belief systems of their societies.

Both systems have been compared with the concept of tanistry found in Early Irish Law, although the political reality appears to have been more complex.

Early PDP-8 systems did not have an operating system, just a front panel and run and halt switches.

Early PLCs were designed to replace relay logic systems.

Early systems emphasized predictable outcomes of an industrial product production line, using simple statistics and random sampling.

Early systems tended to use omnidirectional broadcast antennas, with directional receiver antennas which were pointed in various directions.

Early video game systems such as the Atari 2600 and Cinematronics vector graphics had hard real-time requirements because of the nature of the graphics and timing hardware.

Early 16th-century Franco-Flemings moved away from the complex systems of canonic and other mensural play of Ockeghem's generation, tending toward points of imitation and duet or trio sections within an overall texture that grew to five and six voices.

( Early systems had used synchronous codes, but were hard to synchronize mechanically ).

Early ALE systems were developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by several radio manufacturers.

Early Soviet missile and space telemetry systems which were developed in the late 1940s used either pulse-position modulation ( e. g., the Tral telemetry system developed by OKB-MEI ) or pulse-duration modulation ( e. g., the RTS-5 system developed by NII-885 ).

Early compilers for ALGOL, Fortran, Cobol and some Forth systems often produced subroutine-threaded code.

Early operating systems were very diverse, with each vendor or customer producing one or more operating systems specific to their particular mainframe computer.

Early systems had utilized microprogramming to implement features on their systems in order to permit different underlying architecture to appear to be the same as others in a series.
