The Aster CT-80, an early home / personal computer developed by the small Dutch company MCP ( later renamed to Aster Computers ), was sold in its first incarnation as a kit for hobbyists.

Initially Aster computer b. v. was called MCP ( Music print Computer Product ), because it was specialized in producing computer assisted printing of sheet music.

After selling a few kits, MCP became convinced there was a much bigger market for an improved model sold as a completed working system.

During the expansion, Drexel was officially united with the former MCP Hahnemann University, creating the Drexel University College of Medicine in 2002 ; and in the fall of 2006, Drexel established its School of Law, which was fully accredited by American Bar Association ( ABA ) in 2011.

In 1970 Hastings Banda was declared President for life of the MCP, and in 1971 Banda consolidated his power and was named President for life of Malawi itself.

Malawi saw its first transition between democratically elected presidents in May 2004, when the UDF's presidential candidate Bingu wa Mutharika defeated MCP candidate John Tembo and Gwanda Chakuamba, who was backed by a grouping of opposition parties.

The B5000 was a stack machine designed to exclusively support high-level languages, with no software, not even at the lowest level of the operating system, being written directly in machine language or assembly language ; the MCP was the first OS to be written entirely in a high-level language-ESPOL, a dialect of ALGOL 60-although ESPOL had specialized statements for each " syllable " ( opcode ) in the B5000 instruction set.

His mother was from Devonshire Parish, Bermuda ; Douglas's maternal grandfather, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Melville Dill, served as Attorney General of Bermuda, as a Member of the Parliament of Bermuda ( MCP ), and as commanding officer of the Bermuda Militia Artillery.

The Malayan Emergency (; Jawi: ضرورت ) was a guerrilla war fought between Commonwealth armed forces and the Malayan National Liberation Army ( MNLA ), the military arm of the Malayan Communist Party ( MCP ), from 1948 to 1960.

While there was no successor to the B5700, the B5000 line heavily influenced the design of the B6500, and Burroughs ported the Master Control Program ( MCP ) to that machine.

Singaporean Chief Minister David Marshall asked if the MCP would lay down their arms if Malaya was granted Independence, Chin Peng refused as the amnesty offer was unacceptable to the MCP, and that they would never disband the MCP.

It was used to write the MCP ( Master Control Program ) on Burroughs computer systems from the B5000 to the B6700.

The MCP cone was rewritten as the MCP's tower in the film but remained in the game with the same premise for the player to breach it.

The MCP was a leader in many areas, including: the first operating system to manage multiple processors, the first commercial implementation of virtual memory, and the first OS written exclusively in a high-level language.

In 1961, the MCP was the first OS written exclusively in a high-level language ( HLL ).

For this reason, Burroughs was free to distribute the source code of all software it sold, including the MCP, which was designed with this openness in mind.

MCP also introduced many other ground-breaking innovations, such as being one of the first commercial implementations of virtual memory.

Computers using that architecture are still in production as the Unisys ClearPath Libra servers which run an evolved but compatible version of the MCP operating system first introduced with the B6700.

While the first Tron arcade game had several mini-games ( Gridbugs, Light Cycles, entering the MCP cone and Digital tanks ), Discs of Tron is inspired by the Jai alai sequence in the original 1982 film in which Kevin Flynn is forced to play against Crom, leading to Crom being " derezzed " by Sark.

The Inverter tube uses electrostatic inversion, in the same manner as the first generation tubes did, with a MCP included.

The MCP was the first OS developed exclusively in a high-level language.

Minho Campus Party ( also known as MCP ) is Portugal's first and largest recurring LAN party.

Hastings Banda became the first MCP president, and later the first president of Malawi.

The MCP lost its monopoly on power in a 1993 referendum, and was roundly defeated in the country's first free elections the next year.

The first modern MCP arrived in Europe in 1972 and was developed by KAC.

In Malawi's first multiparty elections, held on 17 May 1994, Bakili Muluzi and his UDF party defeated Banda and the MCP.

Wood's metal, also known as Lipowitz's alloy or by the commercial names Cerrobend, Bendalloy, Pewtalloy and MCP 158, is a eutectic, fusible alloy with a melting point of approximately.

Other attributes have the file's record size ( if fixed for commercial applications ), the block size ( in multiples of records that tells the MCP how many records to read and write in a single physical IO ) and an area size in multiples of blocks, which gives the size of disk areas to be allocated as the file expands.

MCP allowed programs to communicate with each other via core-to-core transmissions ( CRCR ) or by using storage queues ( STOQ ), implemented as OS supervisor calls using the BCT instruction and exposed to the languages ( COBOL FILL FROM / INTO ).

The MCP system is inherently secure and thus has no need of an MMU to provide this level of memory protection.

MCP libraries provide a way of sharing data and code between processes.

They are very much like C. A. R. Hoare's monitors and provide the opportunity for controlled mutual exclusion and synchronization between client processes, using MCP EVENTs and the Dahm locking technique.

When memory is near full, the MCP examines the working set, trying compaction ( since the system is segmented, not paged ), deallocating read-only segments ( such as code-segments which can be restored from their original copy ), and as a last resort, rolling dirty data segments out to disk.

The semiconductor-business area includes semiconductor chips such as SDRAM, SRAM, NAND flash memory ; smart cards ; mobile application processors ; mobile TV receivers ; RF transceivers ; CMOS Image sensors, Smart Card IC, MP3 IC, DVD / BD / HD-DVD Player SOC and multi-chip package ( MCP ); and storage devices such as optical disc drives and formerly hard disk drives.

Both solutions could even be combined, but eventually the MCP memory requirements and program data sharing requirements outgrew the maximum size of the address spaces itself.

Also the MCP can move blocks around in memory for compaction and only needs to change the address in the master descriptor.

To fix this problem MCP developed a small plugin board which could be plugged into the socket for the WD1771, and which contained a data separator, and a socket for the WD1791 to support dual-density operation.

He assumed leadership of the NAC, which later became the Malawi Congress Party ( MCP ).

* Extension splitting during sleep ( custom metacarpophalangeal ( MCP ) joint blocking splint, which has reported better patient's symptomatic relief and functionality and a distal interphalangeal ( DIP ) joint blocking splint )

MCP-RHEED is a system in which an electron beam is amplified by a micro-channel plate ( MCP ).

Logging many events contributes to an apparent slowness of the MCP operating environment compared to systems like Unix, since everything is logged with forced physical writes to the program log after every record, which is what systems like Unix don ’ t do, even though they too keep many things in the system logs.

In this case, if the address field is 0, the data block has not been allocated ( init p-bit ) and the MCP searches for a free block the size of which is given in the length field.

This allows a single input, such as a smoke detector or MCP, to have only one output programmed to a group, which then maps to between two to many outputs or relays.

Initial reduction is optimally performed by the Jahss maneuver, in which the metacarpophalangeal joint ( MCP ) and proximal interphalangeal joint ( PIP ) are flexed to 90 degrees, causing reduction by tightening of the collateral ligaments of the MCP.

* International Institute on Mass Customization & Personalization which organizes MCP, a biannual conference on customization and personalization

On 24 December the MCP released a new ' Eight Point Program ' which called for an end to the Emergency Regulations, a cessation of hostilities, reform of Malaya's political system, democratic rights, support for world peace, and attention to other matters including education, health, welfare, and industrial production.

In Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, pull stations are generally not used ; instead a manual call point is used, which is usually referred to as an MCP within the fire protection industry, as a " transmitter " in Japan, or as a " break glass " by the UK public.

In isolation in jungle camps for several years, the MCP and MPAJA had purged themselves of many members suspected of treachery or espionage, which contributed to their post-war hard-line attitude and led in turn to the insurgency known as the Malayan Emergency.

Partly, this was because they were based among the population in the towns, unlike the MCP which drew much of its support from mine or plantation workers in remote encampments or " squatters " on the edge of the forest.

From the country's independence in 1964 until 1980, Chakuamba was a key figure within the Malawi Congress Party ( MCP ), which was the sole legal political party.
