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.

There was no weapon Early could not take apart and reassemble blind-folded.

Early mathematicians regarded axiomatic geometry as a model of physical space, and obviously there could only be one such model.

Early anthems tended to be simple and homophonic in texture, so that the words could be clearly heard.

Early twentieth-century experiments on the physics of very small-scale phenomena led to the discovery of phenomena which could not be predicted on the basis of classical physics, and to the development of new models ( theories ) that described and predicted very accurately these micro-scale phenomena.

In Ireland, crannogs tend to reach a floruit during the Early Historic period when they were the homes and retreats of kings, lords, prosperous farmers and occasionally socially marginalised groups such as monastic hermits or metalsmiths who could work in isolation.

Early the next morning, Haman came to the king to ask permission to hang Mordecai, but before he could, the king asked him " What should be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?

Indeed, at the end of the 19th century scholar Ernest DeWitt Burton wrote that there could be " no reasonable doubt " that 1 John and the gospel were written by the same author, and Amos Wilder has said that, " Early Christian tradition and the great majority of modern scholars have agreed on the common authorship of these writings, even where the author has not been identified with the apostle John.

Because Galen's works were not translated into Latin in the ancient period, and because of the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West, the study of Galen, along with the Greek medical tradition as a whole, went into decline in Western Europe during the Early Middle Ages, when very few Latin scholars could read Greek.

Early models had a fibrous matting stuffed in among the barrels which could be soaked with water to cool the barrels down.

Early Indonesians were animists who honoured the spirits of the dead as their souls or life force could still help the living.

Early in production, Intel discovered a bug that could cause a system to unexpectedly halt when running 32-bit software.

Early on, Greenberg ( 1957: 41, 1960 ) became convinced that many of the reportedly unrelated languages could be classified into larger groupings.

In the Early Medieval period any well-equipped horseman could be described as a ' knight ,' or miles in Latin.

Early models contained ten rounds and were fitted to modified versions of the Jarmann — though they could be adapted to any bolt action rifle.

Early experimenters found that the thinner the dielectric, the closer the plates, and the greater the surface, the greater the charge that could be stored at a given voltage.

Early critics of logical positivism said that its fundamental tenets could not themselves be formulated consistently.

Early MUMPS memory partitions were limited to 2048 bytes so aggressive abbreviation greatly aided multi-programming on severely resource limited hardware, because more than one MUMPS job could fit into the very small memories extant in hardware at the time.

Early sheep farming required few high-standard roads, but the strong increase in dairy farming in the late 19th century created a strong demand for better links on which the more perishable goods could be transported to market or towards ports for export.

Early experiments in color required extremely long exposures ( hours or days for camera images ) and could not " fix " the photograph to prevent the color from quickly fading when exposed to white light.

Early pistons were of cast iron, but there were obvious benefits for engine balancing if a lighter alloy could be used.

Early on in the history of British television, agreements with the actors ' union Equity and other trade bodies limited the number of times a single program could be broadcast, usually only twice, and these showings were limited to within a set time period such as five years.

Early CPU designs needed many cycles to switch tasks, during which the CPU could do nothing else useful.

Early use of inland waterway transport used the rivers, and while barges could use sails to assist their passage when winds were favourable or the river was wide enough to allow tacking, in many cases this was not possible, and gangs of men were used to bow-haul the boats.
