The MMC could use bank-switching, allowing larger games than had been previously possible.

By 2005 however, SD / MMC had nearly taken over SmartMedia's spot, though not to the same level and with stiff competition coming from Memory Stick variants, as well as CompactFlash.

In the new system, workers who had previously received a Merchant Mariner's Document ( MMD ), which served as both an ID and a credential, now had to acquire two separate documents, a Merchant Mariner's Credential ( MMC ), and a Transportation Worker's Identification Credential ( TWIC ).

Neither the Zire nor the Zire 21 had SD / SDIO / MMC expansion, which was vehemently shunned by venerable handheld aficionados.

While the display is still 160 × 160, it is now color ; it has twice the RAM of the Zire 21 ( 16 MiB / 13. 8 MiB usable ), a 200 MHz PXA255 processor, SD / SDIO / MMC expansion slot, Palm OS 5. 2. 8, 3. 5mm stereo headphones jack and a 5-way navigator pad, though the Zire 31 still only had 2 quickbuttons, as opposed to the standard 4 on the mid-range Zire 71 / 72 models.

The Enterprise Act 2002 gave the Competition Commission wider powers and greater independence than the MMC had previously, so that it now makes decisions on inquiries rather than giving recommendations to Government and is also responsible for taking appropriate actions and measures ( known as remedies ) following inquiries which have identified competition problems.

Basix boards had an MMC slot, while the Connex had an additional 92-pin expansion connector.

Among these was the Cuttle Cart II, a device that allowed the Atari 7800 to read MMC cards containing binary files of Atari 7800 programs.

MIDI Machine Control ( MMC ) consists of a set of SysEx commands that operate the transport controls of hardware recording devices.

MMC allows a sequencer to send " Start ", " Stop ", and " Record " commands to a connected tape deck or hard disk recording system, and to fast-forward or rewind the device so that it starts playback at the same point as the sequencer.

Certain new features are common across all editions of Windows 2000, among them NTFS 3. 0, the Microsoft Management Console ( MMC ), UDF support, the Encrypting File System ( EFS ), Logical Disk Manager, Image Color Management 2. 0, support for PostScript 3-based printers, OpenType < tt >(. OTF )</ tt > and Type 1 PostScript < tt >(. PFB )</ tt > font support, the Data protection API ( DPAPI ), an LDAP / Active Directory-enabled Address Book, usability enhancements and multi-language and locale support.

* Some modern CPUs and microcontrollers ( for example, TI OMAP ) or sometimes even DSPs may have boot ROM with boot code integrated directly into their silicon, so such a processor could perform quite a sophisticated boot sequence on its own and load boot programs from various sources like NAND flash, SD or MMC card and so on.

A metal matrix composite ( MMC ) is composite material with at least two constituent parts, one being a metal.

An MMC is complementary to a cermet.

MMC manufacturing can be broken into three types: solid, liquid, and vapor.

Early Lotus Elise models used aluminum MMC rotors, but they have less than optimal heat properties and Lotus has since switched back to cast-iron.

* Ford offers a Metal Matrix Composite ( MMC ) driveshaft upgrade.

The MMC driveshaft is made of an aluminum matrix reinforced with boron carbide, allowing the critical speed of the driveshaft to be raised by reducing inertia.

The MMC driveshaft has become a common modification for racers, allowing the top speed to be increased far beyond the safe operating speeds of a standard aluminum driveshaft.

* Specialized Bicycles has used aluminum MMC compounds for its top of the range bicycle frames for several years.

Griffen Bicycles also makes boron carbide-aluminum MMC bike frames, and Univega briefly did so as well.

* Some equipment in particle accelerators such as Radio Frequency Quadrupoles ( RFQs ) or electron targets use copper MMC compounds such as Glidcop to retain the material properties of copper at high temperatures and radiation levels.

Tower 1, the west tower ( right in the top-right photograph ) was built by a Japanese consortium led by the Hazama Corporation ( JA Jones Construction Co., MMC Engineering Services Sdn Bhd, Ho Hup Construction Co. Bhd and Mitsubishi Corp ) while Tower 2, the east tower ( left in the top-right photograph ) was built by a South Korean consortium led by the Samsung C & T Corporation ( Kukdong Engineering & Construction and Syarikat Jasatera Sdn Bhd ).

Composites can also use metal fibres reinforcing other metals, as in metal matrix composites ( MMC ) or ceramic matrix composites ( CMC ), which includes bone ( hydroxyapatite reinforced with collagen fibres ), cermet ( ceramic and metal ) and concrete.

If a senior member of the machinist's mate's, damage controlman's, or engineman's rating is known for being exceptionally big and strong, a new person may be sent searching for the " MMC ," " DC " or " EN1 punch.

The dead were: BHP Billiton Angola Chief Operating Officer David Hopgood, Australian ; Angola Technical Services Operations Manager Kevin Ayre, British ; Wild Dog Helicopters pilot Kottie Breedt, South African ; Guy Sommerfield of MMC, British ; and Louwrens Prinsloo of Prinsloo Drilling, Namibian.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation ( MMC ) was formed on April 22, 1970 as a wholly owned subsidiary of MHI under the leadership of Tomio Kubo, a successful engineer from the aircraft division.

However, this expansion was beginning to cause friction ; Chrysler saw their overseas markets for subcompacts as being directly encroached by their Japanese partners, while MMC felt the Americans were demanding too much say in their corporate decisions.

Being very difficult to measure, only about 60 stellar parallaxes had been obtained by the end of the 19th century, mostly by use of the filar micrometer.

However, by that time its originally stellar line-up and crowd of followers had mostly left to start their own bands.

As early as 1573, Thomas Digges had suggested that this theory should necessitate a parallactic shifting of the stars, and, consequently, if such stellar parallaxes existed, then the Copernican theory would receive additional confirmation.

When James Bradley and Samuel Molyneux entered this sphere of astronomical research in 1725, there consequently prevailed much uncertainty whether stellar parallaxes had been observed or not ; and it was with the intention of definitely answering this question that these astronomers erected a large telescope at the house of the latter at Kew.

Astronomers had believed for some time that parallax would provide the first accurate measurement of interstellar distances — in fact, in the 1830s there was a fierce competition between astronomers to be the first to measure a stellar parallax accurately.

Starting pitcher Chris Capuano also had a stellar season, going 18 – 12 with a 3. 99 ERA, the most wins by a Brewer pitcher since Pete Vuckovich won 18 games in 1982.

Suppose that the universe were not expanding, and always had the same stellar density ; then the temperature of the universe would continually increase as the stars put out more radiation.

He demonstrated a relationship between the star colors and their magnitudes, and in 1929 noticed that the Hyades and Praesepe clusters had different stellar populations than the Pleiades.

The team also had a solid but not stellar supporting cast including Marquis Grissom ( 22, 90,. 279 ) and Pedro Feliz ( 22, 84,. 276 ), along with decent showings by Ray Durham, Edgardo Alfonzo, Michael Tucker and AJ Pierzynski.

By 1866, he had developed three classes of stellar spectra:

With characteristic kindness, he had volunteered to have the spectra observed for all the stars — including comparison stars — which had been observed in the observations for stellar parallax which Hinks and I made at Cambridge, and I discussed.

Chicago had another stellar season in 1932, but that did not translate into playoff success.

According to Pseudo-Eratosthenes and Hyginus ' Poetical Astronomy, the constellation Cygnus was the stellar image of the swan Zeus had transformed into in order to seduce Leda or Nemesis.

This system may belong to a stellar association called Cygnus OB3, which would mean that Cygnus X-1 is about five million years old and formed from a progenitor star that had more than.

Rosario was inspired by his brother, and had a stellar amateur boxing career.

Fenech had a stellar amateur career, which led to him representing his country at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

The production had what Canarina calls " a stellar cast " headed by Jussi Björling, Victoria de los Ángeles, Nicola Rossi-Lemeni and Robert Merrill, but the critics, including Virgil Thomson and Irving Kolodin, reserved their highest praise for Monteux's conducting.

Henry had a childhood stammer and was considered slow-witted ; his less than stellar performance at Boston Latin School earned him punishments such as being forced to sit for hours in the girls ' corner wearing a dunce cap.

Communicate had reasonable commercial success, but it received mixed reviews: Spin stated that despite a " few stellar moments, is ultimately a let-down ".

Jones had a stellar turn in a rare revival of Noël Coward's operetta Bitter Sweet at the Long Beach Civic Light Opera in 1983.

In the early 8th century Tang servitors had erected a tall hall by knotting brocades to a bamboo frame and laid out fruits, ale, and roasts as offerings to the two stellar lovers.

The men's national team has had a less stellar history.

Being very difficult to measure, only about 60 stellar parallaxes had been obtained by the end of the 19th century, mostly by use of the filar micrometer.
