Eight-bit CPUs use an 8-bit data bus and can therefore access 8 bits of data in a single machine instruction.

Eight-bit audio is generally not used due to prominent and inherent quantization noise ( low maximum SQNR ), although the A-law and u-law 8-bit encodings pack more resolution into 8 bits while increase total harmonic distortion.

Eight-bit operations had even more possibilities, including stack pointer-relative addressing and a choice of 8-bit or 16-bits immediate offsets.

The networks for military communications are one of the best examples of networks which not only must be changed with the changes in objectives but also must be changed with the addition of new machines of war.

In connection with our continuing development of new and more efficient mill machinery, a sounder U. S. income tax policy on depreciation of production equipment, enabling the mills to charge off the cost of new machines on a more realistic basis, could, if adopted, have favorable effects on Leesona's business in the next few years.

This program is based on the policy of designing and building efficient machines which will help produce better textile values -- fabrics whose cost in relation to quality, fashion and utility provide the consumer with better textile products for the money.

Although the Administration's program cut crop acreage to the lowest point since 1934, farmers, with the help of extra fertilizer and good weather, are getting such high yields per acre that many are being forced to buy new harvesting machines.

Babbage was never able to complete construction of any of his machines due to conflicts with his chief engineer and inadequate funding.

Competing machines such as the Altair 8800 generally were programmed with front-mounted toggle switches and used indicator lights ( red LEDs, most commonly ) for output, and had to be extended with separate hardware to allow connection to a computer terminal or a teletypewriter machine.

He is credited with designing innovative machines, including siege engines and the screw pump that bears his name.

As 10-BASE-T became the de-facto cabling system for Ethernet, second-generation Power Macintosh machines added a 10-BASE-T port in addition to the AAUI, and eventually dropped AAUI on Macs with the New World ROM.

In 1988 Apple had released MacTCP, a system that allowed the Mac to support TCP / IP on machines with suitable Ethernet hardware.

As the world quickly moved to IP for both LAN and WAN uses, Apple was faced with maintaining two increasingly outdated code bases on an ever-wider group of machines as well as the introduction of the PowerPC based machines.

On a network with many machines it may take several tries before a free address is found, so for performance purposes the successful address is " written down " in NVRAM and used as the default address in the future.

As long as the machines were synchronized, the mix would sound more-or-less normal, but if the operator placed his finger on the flange of one of the players ( hence " flanger "), that machine would slow down and its signal would fall out-of-phase with its partner, producing a phasing effect.

However, as the system was reaching completion, the personal computer revolution was starting with the release of machines like the Commodore PET, TRS-80 and Apple II.

These machines were similar in technological terms to the 2600, but sold for much higher prices with associated higher profit margins.

In this world-wide conscription of men, minds, and machines, Prokofieff was recalled to his native land.

* Virtual Iron provides virtual machines for x86 that run unmodified operating systems, such as Windows, Red Hat and SUSE ; open source, implements native virtualization, which delivers near-native performance for x86 operating systems.

Some virtual machines that support bytecode for Smalltalk, the Java virtual machine, and Microsoft's Common Language Runtime virtual machine as their ISA implement it by translating the bytecode for commonly used code paths into native machine code, and executing less-frequently-used code paths by interpretation ; Transmeta implemented the x86 instruction set atop VLIW processors in the same fashion.

Some newer high end fax machines have T. 38 built-in capabilities which allow the user to plug right into the network and transmit / receive faxes in native T. 38 like the Ricoh 4410NF Fax Machine.

* Scripting languages and virtual machines must be translated into native executable code each time the application is executed, imposing a performance penalty.

Adobe developed InDesign CS3 ( and Creative Suite 3 ) as universal binary software compatible with native Intel and PowerPC Mac machines in 2007, two years after the announced 2005 schedule, inconveniencing Intel-Mac early-adopters.

This allowed Apple to bring the machines to market with only a partially native operating system, and end users could adopt the new, faster architecture without risking their investment in software.

Their main weapons were Zoids, living war machines built from metal-based lifeforms native to planet Zi.

Environmental sustainability is integrated into Le Moyne College facilities planning and operating processes through measures such as: use of native species in landscaping ; storm water controls through swales and detention / retention basins ; plans to capture and reuse storm water for irrigation ; use of environmentally friendly pesticides and fertilizers ; contracting with LEED-accredited professionals for the design and construction of all new structures and major renovations ; a lighting pilot program to reduce consumption ; use of refrigerants to minimize ozone layer depletion ; and other practices which assure energy efficiency in buildings and in boiler operations, pump motors, and washing machines, while curtailing emissions.

Later versions of AppleShare also implemented the SMB and CIFS protocols which are the native file sharing protocols on Windows machines.

This was the first PowerPC native version, which made it a lot faster than previous versions on newer machines.

Other centers of culture include the “ Maestro Fermín López ” Municipal Library and Museum, housing personal belongings of Fermín López and Natalicio Talavera ; arms and ammunitions from the Chaco War, a collection of Paraguayan coins and bills, as well as other artifacts: native arrows, axes and bows, old furniture, machines, paintings, photographs and pieces of religious art.

The little cash earned by the native populations was spent on specialists to operate the new machinery, oil for the machines, and toxic pesticides.

Kortchmar first came to prominence in the mid-1960s playing with bands in his native New York City, such as The Kingbees and the Flying Machine, which included the then-unknown James Taylor ( Kortchmar having been a long-time friend of Taylor's ; both of them summered in Martha's Vineyard in their teens ); in Taylor's autobiographical composition " Fire and Rain ", the line " sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground " is a reference to the breakup of that band.

Apart from the native middle-ages technology stand the so called " everlasting machines ".

Von Neumann machines differ in having a memory in which they store their operating instructions and data.

Encryption is also used to protect data in transit, for example data being transferred via networks ( e. g. the Internet, e-commerce ), mobile telephones, wireless microphones, wireless intercom systems, Bluetooth devices and bank automatic teller machines.

They sold data from these machines to the Soviet secret service, one of them in order to fund his drug addiction.

Heapsort typically runs faster in practice on machines with small or slow data caches.

These machines established IBM's dominance in electronic data processing.

For example CP / M machines used many different floppy disk formats, which meant that one machine could not normally read disks from another CP / M machine, and Kermit was used as part of a process to enable the transfer of applications and data between CP / M machines and other machines with different operating systems.

Additionally, there is the ability to specify an environment for a variable, such as by specifying a machine name in a variable ( as in ), which can allow you to access data on remote machines.

Many mainframe customers run two machines: one in their primary data center, and one in their backup data center — fully active, partially active, or on standby — in case there is a catastrophe affecting the first building.

: Next, macros make it possible to define data languages that are immediately compiled into code, which means that constructs such as state machines can be implemented in a way that is both natural and efficient.

One early recorded use of the term " nybble " was in 1977 within the consumer-banking technology group at Citibank that created a pre-ISO 8583 standard for transactional messages, between cash machines and Citibank's data centers, in which a NABBLE was the basic informational unit.

In older microscopes image may be captured by photography from a high-resolution cathode ray tube, but in modern machines image is saved to a computer data storage.

He defines the Semantic Web as " a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines.

He defines the Semantic Web as " a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines.

Another criticism of the semantic web is that it would be much more time-consuming to create and publish content because there would need to be two formats for one piece of data: one for human viewing and one for machines.

He averaged the data, and assigned an average payback percentage to the machines in each casino.

In particular, critics point to the coveted Order of the German Eagle medal that Watson received at the Berlin ICC meeting in 1937, as evidence that he was being honored for the help that IBM's German subsidiary Dehomag ( Deutsche Hollerith-Maschinen Gesellschaft mbH ) and its punch card machines provided the Nazi regime, particularly in the tabulation of census data.

Numerous versions included Apple II, TI 99 / 4a, DEC PDP-11, Zilog Z80 and MOS 6502 based machines, Motorola 68000 and the IBM PC ( Version II on the PC was restricted to one 64K code segment and one 64K stack / heap data segment ; Version IV removed the code segment limit but cost a lot more ).

Just as earlier machines had ignored the fact that most operations were being applied to many data points, the STAR ignored the fact that those same data points would be repeatedly operated on.

NII was to have included more than just the physical facilities ( more than the cameras, scanners, keyboards, telephones, fax machines, computers, switches, compact disks, video and audio tape, cable, wire, satellites, optical fiber transmission lines, microwave nets, switches, televisions, monitors, and printers ) used to transmit, store, process, and display voice, data, and images ; it was also to encompass a wide range of interactive functions, user-tailored services, and multimedia databases that were interconnected in a technology-neutral manner that will favor no one industry over any other.
