Besides being used as an X-ray generator, the Z machine propelled small plates at 34 kilometres a second, faster than the 30 kilometres per second that Earth travels in its orbit around the Sun, and three times Earth's escape velocity.

Once he regains use of his time machine, the TARDIS she accompanies him in travels across time and space.

Weir, the only survivor, travels back 10, 000 years in a puddle jumper she found fitted with a time machine.

When paying bus fare, the EasyCard machine prevents repeated transactions on the same card until the bus travels into the next paying section.

A card-based transaction typically travels from a transaction acquiring device, such as a point-of-sale terminal or an automated teller machine ( ATM ), through a series of networks, to a card issuing system for authorization against the card holder's account.

In 2006, Playboy Magazine listed Candy among the " 25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written ", and described the story as a " young heroine's picaresque travels, a kind of sexual pinball machine that lights up academia, gardeners, the medical profession, mystics and bohemians.

In the novel, Moorcock weaves an existentialist tale about Karl Glogauer, a man who travels from the year 1970 in a time machine to 28 AD, where he hopes to meet the historical Jesus of Nazareth.

The cleaner air means less time spent pushing a vacuum, fewer trips to the dry cleaners, lighter loads for the washing machine.

Again stop the machine at the end of the time shown in Column C of Table 2.

It is not through space nor time that the time machine most approved by science fiction must travel for a visit to the permanent prehistoric past, or the ever-existent past-fantasy future.

Of the two, Porter is justly the better known, for he went far beyond the vital finding of fiction for films to take the first step toward fashioning a language of film, toward making the motion picture the intricate, efficient time machine that it has remained since, even in the most inept hands.

It was about that time, a board member said later, that Dr. Thomas G. Pullen, Jr., State superintendent of schools, told Dr. Jenkins and a number of other education officials that he would not talk to them with a recording machine sitting in front of him.

The input ( programs and data ) was to be provided to the machine via punched cards, a method being used at the time to direct mechanical looms such as the Jacquard loom.

This machine was built using materials and engineering tolerances that would have been available to Babbage, quelling the suggestion that Babbage's designs could not have been produced using the manufacturing technology of his time.

Whenever any result is sought by its aid, the question will then arise — By what course of calculation can these results be arrived at by the machine in the shortest time?

From that time he supported the Democratic party and built a powerful political machine in Greene County.

The ULA had an issue similar to those experienced by other socketed CPU's ; Over time, the thermal heating and cooling could cause the ULA to rise slightly out of it's socket just enough to cause the machine to start exhibiting ' hanging ' or other startup-failure issues, such as a continuous ' startup beep '.

A model of computation may be defined in terms of an abstract computer, e. g., Turing machine, and / or by postulating that certain operations are executed in unit time.

In computational complexity theory, BPP, which stands for bounded-error probabilistic polynomial time is the class of decision problems solvable by a probabilistic Turing machine in polynomial time, with an error probability of at most 1 / 3 for all instances.

It is set on the turn of the millennium, and features Lord Blackadder placing a bet with his friends – modern versions of Queenie ( Miranda Richardson ), Melchett ( Stephen Fry ), George ( Hugh Laurie ) and Darling ( Tim McInnerny ) – that he has built a working time machine.

While this is intended as a clever con trick, the machine, surprisingly, works, sending Blackadder and Baldrick back to the time of the dinosaurs, where they manage to cause the extinction of the dinosaurs, through the use of Baldrick's best, worst and only pair of underpants as a weapon against a hungry T. Rex.

The term BIOS ( Basic Input / Output System ) was invented by Gary Kildall and first appeared in the CP / M operating system in 1975, describing the machine-specific part of CP / M loaded during boot time that interfaces directly with the hardware ( a CP / M machine usually has only a simple boot loader in its ROM ).

In September 2010, MIT students attempted to put a TARDIS, the time machine from the BBC's Doctor Who, onto a roof.

Since all problems in NP can be reduced to this problem it follows that for all problems in NP we can construct a non-deterministic Turing machine that decides the complement of the problem in polynomial time, i. e., NP is a subset of co-NP.

An IBM-made 386 machine eventually reached the market seven months later, but by that time Compaq was the 386 supplier of choice and IBM had lost its image of technical leadership.

This would mean the machine would spend more time accessing memory, which would slow it down.

The first appearance of Doraemon, who came via the time machine.

Although neither machine has a built-in disk operating system ( cassette tapes being the default data-storage mechanism in the home computer market at the time ), DragonDOS was supplied as part of the disk controller interface from Dragon Data Ltd.

However, continued demand led to a Nova 4 machine, this time based on four AMD 2901 bit-slice ALUs.

Many third party developers used the V64 in lieu of the PC64 Development Kit sold by Nintendo ; the V64 was considered an attractive, low cost alternative to the expensive N64 development machine, which was manufactured by Silicon Graphics at the time.
