* The copper can be used to produce " sliced HAM ", or S-HAM, this consists of building a copper list that switches the palette on every scanline, improving the choice of base colours in Hold And Modify mode graphics.

In Hold-and-Modify mode ( HAM ), each 6-bit pixel is interpreted as 2 control bits and 4 data bits.

Additionally, a 4096 color " HAM " mode can be used at lower resolutions.

In practice, the AGA HAM ( Hold-And-Modify ) mode is mainly useful in painting programs, picture viewers and for video playback.

And more interestingly the Hold And Modify ( or HAM ) mode which while only making use of 16 palette colors, allowed the display of 4096 colors with some restrictions.

Unlike the 4096 color HAM mode, this technique places no restrictions on color combinations between horizontally adjacent pixels.

4096 colors ): some Silicon Graphics systems, Neo Geo, Color NeXTstation systems, and Amiga systems in HAM mode.

A basic assumption in ANIMs is that the size of the bitmap, and the display mode ( e. g. HAM ) will not change through the animation.

Hold-And-Modify, usually abbreviated as HAM, is a display mode of the Commodore Amiga computer.

However, HAM has significant technical limitations which prevent it from being used as a general purpose display mode.

The original HAM mode allows all 4096 colors to be displayed using just six bitplanes.

HAM was only originally created as an experimental mode.

With the release of the Advanced Graphics Architecture ( AGA ) in 1992, the original HAM mode was renamed " HAM6 ", and a new " HAM8 " mode was introduced ( the numbered suffix reflecting the bitplanes used by the respective HAM mode ).

Like the original HAM mode, a HAM8 screen cannot display any arbitrary color at any arbitrary position, since every pixel relies on either a limited palette or relies on up to two color components of the previous pixel.

As with the original HAM mode, designers may also choose to ' slice ' the display ( see below ) in order to circumvent some of these restrictions.

Sliced HAM mode, also known as dynamic HAM mode uses the Amiga's standard HAM6 color mode, 6-bitplanes ( 4 bitplanes for the base colour palette of 16 colors and 2 bitplanes for modifying the base colors ).

The HAM model was later expanded into the first version of the ACT theory.

A final noteworthy event occurred on 29 November 1961, when ENOS, a chimpanzee trained at Holloman ’ s Aero-Medical ( HAM ) laboratory, was the first US specimen launched into orbit.

In the years 1988 to 1994, before becoming a comedian, he was active in the Icelandic music scene as vocalist and lead guitarist in the metal band HAM.

When the Amiga was launched in 1985, HAM mode offered a significant advantage over competing systems.

HAM mode was frequently used to demonstrate the Amiga's ability in store displays and trade presentations, since competing hardware could not match the color depth.

Due to the limitations described above HAM was mainly used for display of static images and developers largely avoided its use with games or applications requiring animation.

Arguably, the original HAM mode with its limited color resolution became far less attractive to users of an AGA machine, though it was still included for backward compatibility.

The new HAM8 mode was arguably far less useful to the AGA chipset than the HAM mode was to the original chipset, since a planar 256-color palette greatly increased the options to the artist without suffering from the drawbacks of HAM mode.

The original purpose of HAM, which was to allow more color resolution despite limited video buffer size and limited memory bandwidth, was no longer as relevant.

Heli Air Monaco ( HAM ) was founded in 1976 with the support of Prince Rainier III, and began operations from the Monaco Heliport, located in the Fontvieille quarter of Monaco, from where it now operates regular shuttle services between Monaco Heliport and Nice Airport ( an average 24 transfers a day ), and offers on request flights from Monaco and Nice to other European destinations including the Alps, Corsica, the French Riviera, Italy and Switzerland.

The Dayton, Ohio Hamvention, the International DX Convention, the HAM RADIO event in Friedrichshafen, Germany, and the Central Coast Amateur Radio Club Field Day near Sydney in Australia are events where manufacturers most commonly introduce new products to the amateur radio marketplace.

* HAM, hardware compression of color information used in Amiga computers

Various rendering techniques were used to minimize the impact of " fringing " and HAM displays were often designed to incorporate subtle horizontal color gradients, avoiding vertical edges and contrasts.

However, since no other computer architecture used the HAM technique, viewing a HAM image on any other architecture requires programmatic interpretation of the image file.

All Amiga systems can display full-screen animated graphics with 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 ( EHB Mode ) or 4096 colors ( HAM Mode ).

Modern graphics hardware does not have an Amiga-style copper, so in order to correctly display sliced HAM images, the Amiga hardware must be emulated.

Additionally, HAM mode does not easily permit arbitrary animation of the display.

To allow rendering of legacy images encoded in HAM format software-based HAM emulators have been developed which do not require the original display hardware.

Dedicated Amiga emulators running on non-native hardware are able to display HAM mode by emulation of the display hardware.

HAM allows display of all 4096 colors simultaneously, though with the aforementioned limitations.

As modern computers are capable of high resolution truecolor displays there is no longer any need for display techniques like HAM.

Examples of display lists on these older machines might include effects such as the Amiga's HAM modes, Commodore 64 / 128's FLI mode, or Rainbow Processing on the ZX Spectrum.

* HAM TV-as it is also called-provides video co-ordination of many public service events and, along with traditional amateur radio, provides much needed " eyes " in natural disasters.

Models with the AGA chipset ( A1200 and A4000 ) also have non-EHB 64, 128, 256 and 262144 ( HAM Mode ) color modes and a palette expanded from 4096 to 16. 8 million colors.

Scientific research satellites provide us with meteorological information, land survey data ( e. g., remote sensing ), Amateur ( HAM ) Radio, and other different scientific research applications such as earth science, marine science, and atmospheric research.

HTLV-1 is also associated with a progressive demyelinating upper motor neuron disease known as HAM / TSP, an abbreviation for HTLV-1 associated myelopathy / Tropical Spastic Paraparesis, characterized by sensory and motor deficits, particularly of the lower extremities, incontinence and impotence.
