Without a significant amount of memory, a computer would merely be able to perform fixed operations and immediately output the result.

The output shaft of the gearbox is permanently connected to the final drive, then the wheels, and so both always rotate together, at a fixed speed ratio.

* The Cournot model, which shows that two firms assume each other's output and treat this as a fixed amount, and produce in their own firm according to this.

Because the output pulses have a fixed amplitude, the switching elements ( usually MOSFETs, but valves ( vacuum tubes ) and bipolar transistors were once used ) are switched either completely on or completely off, rather than operated in linear mode.

Due to high fixed costs, when demand fell, these newly-merged companies had an incentive to maintain output and reduce prices.

For producers of homogeneous goods, when demand falls, these producers have more of an incentive to maintain output and cut prices, in order to spread out the high fixed costs these producers faced ( i. e. lowering cost per unit ) and the desire to exploit efficiencies of maximum volume production.

A natural monopoly has a high fixed cost for a product that does not depend on output, but its marginal cost of producing one more good is roughly constant, and small.

Since each firm has large initial costs, as the firm gains market share and increases its output the fixed cost ( what they initially invested ) is divided among a larger number of customers.

In addition to fixed capital, each enterprise is allocated a minimum of working capital from the state through the Central Bank and is required to meet various operating expenses with the proceeds from sales of its output.

The model assumes that there are two “ equally positioned firms ”; the firms compete on the basis of quantity rather than price and each firm makes an “ output decision assuming that the other firm ’ s behavior is fixed .” The market demand curve is assumed to be linear and marginal costs are constant.

In some languages, an empty source file is a fixed point of the language, producing no output.

In such an arrangement, the generator's angular speed is fixed by the grid's frequency, and the power output of the plant is determined by the torque applied to the generator's axis of rotation.

This can result in poor quality output for lower resolution devices ( although techniques such as spatial anti-aliasing may help mitigate this ), but provides a fixed layout, allowing easy user visualisation.

Generally, output is a linear function of input only for a fixed portion of the transfer characteristics.

The output of a fixed radio frequency oscillator is mixed with that of an oscillator whose frequency is affected by the variable capacitance between the antenna and the thereminist as that person moves her or his hand near the pitch control antenna.

Higher optical pulse output power, and better input sensitivity, combine directly to improve measuring range, and are usually fixed features of a particular instrument.

Isometric exercise provides a fixed amount of resistance based on the force output of the muscle.

By the above hypothesis, the graph indicates one of the major criticisms of deficit spending as a way to stimulate the economy: rising interest rates lead to crowding out – i. e., discouragement – of private fixed investment, which in turn may hurt long-term growth of the supply side ( potential output ).

* Impedance matching, the electronics design practice of setting the input impedance of an electrical load equal to the fixed output impedance of the signal source to which it is ultimately connected

The potentiometer can be used as a voltage divider to obtain a manually adjustable output voltage at the slider ( wiper ) from a fixed input voltage applied across the two ends of the potentiometer.

The disadvantage of single pass ABR encoding ( with or without CVBR ) is the opposite of fixed quantizer VBR — the size of the output is known ahead of time, but the resulting quality is unknown, although still better than CBR.

Both retrospective and prospective costs may be either fixed ( continuous for as long as the business is in operation and unaffected by output volume ) or variable ( dependent on volume ) costs.

* Textform, a text-processing program developed at the University of Alberta's Computing Centre to support device independent output to a wide range of devices from line printers, to the Xerox 9700 page printers, to advanced phototypesetting equipment using fixed width and proportional fonts.

Guillaume de Machaut's lyric output comprises around 400 poems, including 235 ballades, 76 rondeaux, 39 virelais, 24 lais, 10 complaintes, and 7 chansons royales, and Machaut did much to perfect and codify these fixed forms.

" He offers a substitute, called throughput accounting, that uses throughput ( money for goods sold to customers ) in place of output ( goods produced that may sell or may boost inventory ) and considers labor as a fixed rather than as a variable cost.

In addition the fixed cell structure means that ATM can be readily switched by hardware without the inherent delays introduced by software switched and routed frames.

In structure it resembles CAST-128, which uses fixed S-boxes.

The Golden Bull of 1356 was a decree issued by a Reichstag in Nuremberg headed by Emperor Charles IV that fixed, for a period of more than four hundred years, an important aspect of the constitutional structure of the Holy Roman Empire.

These are often made from plastic and usually hold the bolts in fixed positions along the structure.

While calling the social structure as a racial caste or caste-like system, these scholars noted that African Americans were segregated, shunned through refused entry into restaurants and hotels, isolated, excluded, and fixed in a hereditary system with the anti-miscegenation laws declaring interracial sex or marriage a criminal offense.

The rigidity of the relational model, in which all data is held in tables with a fixed structure of rows and columns, has increasingly been seen as a limitation when handling information that is richer or more varied in structure than the traditional ' ledger-book ' data of corporate information systems: for example, document databases, engineering databases, multimedia databases, or databases used in the molecular sciences.

Bifurcation theory considers a structure in phase space ( typically a fixed point, a periodic orbit, or an invariant torus ) and studies its behavior as a function of the parameter μ.

In this sense, a fugue is a style of composition, rather than a fixed structure.

In the new units he fixes the fine structure constant, a quantity which some people, using units in which the speed of light is fixed, have claimed is time-dependent.

Thus in the system of units in which the fine structure constant is fixed, the observational claim is that the speed of light is time-dependent.

These techniques use these different fluorophores for analysis of cell structure at a molecular level in both live and fixed samples.

Once the basic variegated anatomical structure of the brain is laid down during early development, it is more or less fixed.

This new version was to have considerable security improvements, including a new certificate structure which fixed small security flaws in the PGP 2. x certificates as well as permitting a certificate to include separate keys for signing and encryption.

Only proline differs from this basic structure as it contains an unusual ring to the N-end amine group, which forces the CO – NH amide moiety into a fixed conformation.

* Fixed: A fixed pulley has an axle mounted in bearings attached to a supporting structure.

On the other hand, quantum mechanics has depended since its inception on a fixed background ( non-dynamic ) structure.

The expected value of random vectors, random matrices, and similar aggregates of fixed structure is defined as the aggregation of the expected value computed over each individual element.

# A fixed, mobile, or transportable structure, including ( a ) all installed electrical and electronic wiring, cabling, and equipment and ( b ) all supporting structures, such as utility, ground network, and electrical supporting structures.

The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane ; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or helicopter, that has the ability to hover above the ground.

Previous to this the record was held in West Virginia, USA, by New Zealander Chris Allum, who bungee jumped 823 ft ( 251m ) from the New River Gorge Bridge on " Bridge Day " 1992 to set a world ’ s record for the longest bungee jump from a fixed structure.

The fixed words of this idiom ( in bold ) do not form a constituent in any theory's analysis of syntactic structure because the object of the preposition ( here this situation ) is not part of the idiom ( but rather it is an argument of the idiom ).
