During development, engineers had made the decision to use the Zilog 8530 serial controller chip ( SCC ) instead of the lower cost and more common UART to provide serial port connections.

Modern computer buses can use both parallel and bit serial connections, and can be wired in either a multidrop ( electrical parallel ) or daisy chain topology, or connected by switched hubs, as in the case of USB.

Multidrop connections do not work well for fast serial buses, so most modern serial buses use daisy-chain or hub designs.

Initially, Commodore intended to use a hardware shift register ( one component of the 6522 VIA ) to maintain relatively brisk drive speeds with the new serial interface.

The STEMs use of SEM-like beam rastering simplifies annular dark-field imaging, and other analytical techniques, but also means that image data is acquired in serial rather than in parallel fashion.

HOURS are printed on high-quality paper and use faint graphics that would be difficult to reproduce, and each bill is stamped with a serial number, in order to discourage counterfeiting.

MIDI interfaces intended for use as the centerpiece of a studio, such as the Mark of the Unicorn MIDI Time Piece, were made possible by a " fast " transmission mode that could take advantage of these serial ports ' ability to operate at 20 times the standard MIDI speed.

In addition to their use in counting and measuring, numerals are often used for labels ( telephone numbers ), for ordering ( serial numbers ), and for codes ( e. g., ISBNs ).

Typical WPAN devices that use IrDA include printers, keyboards, and other serial data interfaces.

Personal computers may use a serial port to interface to devices such as uninterruptible power supplies.

* In the 1979 serial " City of Death ", Count Scarlioni's henchmen use a " sonic knife " to cut the glass in front of the Mona Lisa.

Also, some variations of DSL ( such as SDSL ) use synchronous serial connections.

The difference between the two being that transceivers interface electrically with the host system using a serial interface, whereas transponders use a parallel interface to do so.

Common implementations use X. 21, EIA-232, EIA-449 or other serial protocols.

The LA30 was available with both a parallel interface and a serial interface ; however, the serial LA30 required the use of fill characters during the carriage-return operation.

Both line matrix and serial dot matrix printers, use pins to strike against the inked ribbon, making dots on the paper and forming the desired characters.

A software serial number, otherwise called product key, is usually not embedded in the software, but is assigned to a specific user with a right to use the software.

It takes its name from the library science use of the word " serial " to mean a periodical.

In 2009 the U. S. FDA published draft guidance for the pharmaceutical industry to use serial numbers on prescription drug packages.

The MCS-51 UARTs make it simple to use the chip as a serial communications interface.

Perhaps the final 7-bit restriction, primarily imposed due to the pervasive use of RS-232 protocol for serial ports between devices, notably computers and modems, was lifted in the mid-1990s when RS-232 was largely replaced with Ethernet and with USB.

As for giant creatures, the Flash Gordon serial did not use a costumed actor, instead used real-life lizards to depict a large dragon via use of camera perspective.

There is no use at all in trying to follow it dance by dance and title by title, for it has a kind of nonstop format, and moves along in an admirable continuity that demands no pauses for identification.

* gsm – designed for telephony use in Europe, gsm is a very practical format for telephone quality voice.

Most ATM links use UNI cell format.

For these reasons many CAD applications use the DWG format which can be licensed from AutoDesk or non-natively from the Open Design Alliance.

When MLB adopted the addition of a second wild card team, the 2012 Division Series are scheduled to use the 2-3 format due to scheduling conflicts, which will revert back to the 2-2-1 format from 2013 onwards.

The World Factbook is prepared by the CIA for the use of U. S. government officials, and its style, format, coverage, and content are primarily designed to meet their requirements.

In March 1974, during a meeting of the audio group, two engineers from the Philips research laboratory recommended the use of a digital format on the 20 cm optical disc, because an error-correcting code could be added.

An undocumented command allowed the drive to format and use the second side of a disk, but only in single-sided mode.

When sent over an IP network, all records use the common format specified in RFC 1035:

They all use industry standard XML data storage format.

While low-quality at first, consumer digital video increased rapidly in quality, first with the introduction of playback standards such as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 ( adopted for use in television transmission and DVD media ), and then the introduction of the DV tape format allowing recording direct to digital data and simplifying the editing process, allowing non-linear editing systems ( NLE ) to be deployed cheaply and widely on desktop computers with no external playback / recording equipment needed.

Briefly, the specification calls for picture encoding using the ISO / IEC 15444-1 " JPEG2000 " (. jp2 ) standard and use of the CIE XYZ color space at 12 bits per component encoded with a 2. 6 gamma applied at projection, and audio using the " Broadcast Wave " (. wav ) format at 24 bits and 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling, controlled by an XML-format Composition Playlist, into an MXF-compliant file at a maximum data rate of 250 Mbit / s.

A registered naturopathic doctor may only use the title “ doctor ” in written format if she or he also uses the phrase, " naturopathic doctor " immediately following his or her name.

More amateur formats began to use acetate based film, and several, including Kodak's own 16 mm format, were designed specifically to be manufactured with safety base.

Paint does not make optimal use of the GIF format ; due to the unnecessarily large color table ( storing a full 256 colors instead of the used 2 ) and symbol width, this GIF file is not an efficient representation of the 15-pixel image ( illustrated enlarged above ).

Animated GIF remains widely used, as many applications are capable of creating the files, and it remains the only animated image format supported in nearly all modern web browsers without the use of a plug-in.

Notably, Internet Explorer versions 6, 7, and 8 report deflate support but do not actually accept RFC 1950 format, making actual use of deflate highly unusual.

A half page debuted the following Sunday ( March 29 ), with the strips for March 14 and 21, 1982, having a unique nine-panel format, but UFS curtailed further use of it ( but it allowed Davis to use the format for his U. S. Acres strip ).

) used to be encoded in Sorenson Spark format ( an incomplete implementation of H. 263 ), though many sites now use VP6 or H. 264 encoding.

Although its use is not recommended for compatibility reasons, nevertheless much premastered material is produced in the format.

While the North American PSTN can use PRI or Analog T1 format from PBX to PBX, the POTS or BRI can be delivered to a business or residence.
