) Where the irony with which Reefer Madness was adopted as a midnight favorite had its roots in a countercultural sensibility, in the latter's place there is now the paradoxical element of nostalgia: the leading revivals currently on the circuit ironically include clearly non-cult films like John Hughes oeuvre — The Breakfast Club ( 1985 ), Pretty in Pink ( 1986 ), and Ferris Bueller's Day Off ( 1986 ), which were major studio productions and popular and financially successful during their original releases, and the teen adventure film The Goonies ( 1985 ).

In ATM this is called a virtual circuit ( VC ).

A class of algorithms called SAT solvers can efficiently solve a large enough subset of SAT instances to be useful in various practical areas such as circuit design and automatic theorem proving, by solving SAT instances made by transforming problems that arise in those areas.

Processing performance of computers is increased by using multi-core processors, which essentially is plugging two or more individual processors ( called cores in this sense ) into one integrated circuit.

For use in an electronic circuit, electrical connection terminals called taps are often connected to a coil.

However, only a couple of months later a new problem arose: the company that commercially ran the circuit ( CENAV ), called in the receiver and went out of business, marking the end of " Circuit van Zandvoort ".

One of the major events that is held at the circuit, along with DTM and A1GP, is the RTL Masters of Formula 3, where Formula Three cars of several national racing series compete with each other ( originally called Marlboro Masters, before tobacco advertising ban ).

DSP algorithms have long been run on standard computers, on specialized processors called digital signal processor on purpose-built hardware such as application-specific integrated circuit ( ASICs ).

This type of circuit is usually called " mixed signal " rather than analog or digital.

* In an LC oscillator circuit, the filter is a tuned circuit ( often called a tank circuit ) consisting of an inductor ( L ) and capacitor ( C ) connected together.

Armstrong and De Forest fought a protracted legal battle over the rights to the " regenerative " oscillator circuit which has been called " the most complicated patent litigation in the history of radio ".

It also enhances the circuit data mode called HSCSD, increasing the data rate of this service.

The circuit has been called " an exceptional location of glamour and prestige.

However, the small dimensions limit the inductance, and it is far more common to use a circuit called a " gyrator " that uses a capacitor and active components to behave similarly to an inductor.

A PRI has 23 ' B ' channels and 1 ' D ' channel for signalling ( Japan uses a circuit called a J1, which is similar to a T1 ).

He was called to the bar in 1791, and joined the northern circuit and the Lancashire sessions.

The keyboard switch matrix is often drawn with horizontal wires and vertical wires in a grid which is called a matrix circuit.

A CPU socket or slot is an electrical component that attaches to a printed circuit board ( PCB ) and is designed to house a CPU ( also called a microprocessor ).

During the American Revolution, " the mid-Atlantic work " ( as Wesley called it ) diminished, and, by 1778, the work was reduced to one circuit.

Most circuits have fewer ministers than churches, and the majority of services are led by lay local preachers, or by supernumerary ministers ( ministers who have retired, called supernumerary because they are not counted for official purposes in the numbers of ministers for the circuit in which they are listed ).

The classic multivibrator circuit ( also called a plate-coupled multivibrator ) is first described by H. Abraham and E. Bloch in Publication 27 of the French Ministère de la Guerre, and in Annales de Physique 12, 252 ( 1919 ).

If repeated application of the input pulse maintains the circuit in the unstable state, it is called a retriggerable monostable.

Attached devices can take either the form of an integrated circuit fitted onto the motherboard itself, called a planar device in the PCI specification, or an expansion card that fits into a slot.

However, algorithms are also implemented by other means, such as in a biological neural network ( for example, the human brain implementing arithmetic or an insect looking for food ), in an electrical circuit, or in a mechanical device.

* Application-specific integrated circuit, an integrated circuit ( IC ) developed for a particular use, as opposed to a general-purpose device.

Shot noise is a type of electronic noise that occurs when the finite number of particles ( such as electrons in an electronic circuit or photons in an optical device ) is small enough to give rise to statistical fluctuations in a signal.

The voltage output from these anemometers is thus the result of some sort of circuit within the device trying to maintain the specific variable ( current, voltage or temperature ) constant.

Therefore the electrons flow into the polarized electrical device and out of, for example, the connected electrical circuit.

A transformer is an electromagnetic device that has a primary winding and a secondary winding that transfers energy from one electrical circuit to another by inductive coupling without moving parts.

In some types the negative resistance device is connected in parallel with the resonant circuit.

In negative resistance oscillators, a resonant circuit, such as an LC circuit, crystal, or cavity resonator, is connected across a device with negative differential resistance, and a DC bias voltage is applied to supply energy.

The term amplifier is applied to anything from a circuit ( or stage ) using a single active device to a complete system such as a packaged audio hi-fi amplifier.

The input signal is used to switch the active device causing pulses of current to flow through a tuned circuit forming part of the load.

This is not usually a problem after the device has been installed in a properly designed circuit.

A variable inductor can be constructed by making one of the terminals of the device a sliding spring contact that can move along the surface of the coil, increasing or decreasing the number of turns of the coil included in the circuit.

Early developments of the integrated circuit go back to 1949, when the German engineer Werner Jacobi ( Siemens AG ) filed a patent for an integrated-circuit-like semiconductor amplifying device showing five transistors on a common substrate in a 2-stage amplifier arrangement.

* Isolate the controlling circuit from the controlled circuit when the two are at different potentials, for example when controlling a mains-powered device from a low-voltage switch.

The inherent flaw in this method was that turning off a single lamp ( or other electric device ) affected the voltage supplied to all others on the same circuit.

A multimeter can utilize a variety of test probes to connect to the circuit or device under test.
