Frazetta authority David Winiewicz described the everyday working mode of operation in Li ' l Abner Dailies: 1954 Volume 20 ( Kitchen Sink, 1994 ):

The Smartmodem was not necessary for BBS use, other modems could be left in " answer mode ", but the Smartmodem made operation dramatically simpler on the user end by allowing the easy dialling of any number of BBS systems.

* Constant surface speed, a mode of machine tool operation in which angular velocity ( rpm ) is varied in order to achieve a constant tangential velocity at the tool-material interface — one of the many aspects of speeds and feeds

Since Version 0. 7 ( 2008 ), it offers two modes of operation: a darknet mode in which it connects only to friends, and an opennet-mode in which it connects to any other Freenet user.

This proportional change causes the drain-to-source current to remain relatively fixed independent of changes to the drain-to-source voltage and quite unlike the linear mode operation.

Commercial devices called " magnetic filters " are sold, but the name reflects their use, not their mode of operation.

While the classic guidelines still apply, today's anti-guerrilla forces need to accept a more disruptive, disorderly and ambiguous mode of operation.

It is possible to change the mode of operation for the FIRQ interrupt.

The MMU and protection mechanisms are enabled only in case of protected mode ( except for the segment overrun protection ) keeping them disabled in real mode of operation.

Indeed, kiosk mode describes such a mode of software operation.

DSM displays could be operated in transmissive and in reflective mode but they required a considerable current to flow for their operation.

Since July 2012, Odyssey has been back in full, nominal operation mode following three weeks of ' safe ' mode on remote maintenance.

These programs were based on the TSR ( Terminate and stay resident ) mode of operation and applied to all keyboard input, no matter in which context it occurred.

) and the actual operation ( such as add or compare ) and other fields that may give the type of the operand ( s ), the addressing mode ( s ), the addressing offset ( s ) or index, or the actual value itself ( such constant operands contained in an instruction are called immediates ).

In this approximately 800-word document about methods of franking letters he states, " Therefore, of Mr Hill ’ s plan of a uniform rate of postage … I conceive that the most simple and economical mode … would be by Slips … in the hope that Mr Hill ’ s plan may soon be carried into operation I would suggest that sheets of Stamped Slips should be prepared … then be rubbed over on the back with a strong solution of gum …".

PSK31 is a highly efficient, narrow-band mode that is very suitable to QRP operation.

Nonconducting specimens may be imaged uncoated using Environmental SEM ( ESEM ) or low voltage mode of SEM operation.

Operation in the coasting mode may be extended for a period of time by using clock-error data or clock-correction data ( obtained during a prior period of operation in the tracking mode ) to estimate clock corrections.

Power-failure transfer is an emergency mode of operation in which one and only one instrument may be powered from each trunk line from the subscriber location to the central office.

Transmission line operation in this mode is called E-Line.

* a call set-up procedure and a call disengagement procedure determine the period of communication between two data terminal equipments ( DTEs ) in which user data are transferred by the network in the packet mode of operation

The spectrometer was adjusted to minimize the amount of dispersion mode mixed in with the absorption signal.

Asteroids was released via Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360 on November 28, 2007, with an option for special revamped HD graphics and a high-speed " throttle monkey " mode.

It had feature limitations such as being unable to output more than one channel of sound, ( and provided fewer Envelope-shaping options ) where the BBC was capable of three-way polyphony ( plus one noise channel ) and the inability to provide teletext mode.

Because the WD1770 is capable of single density mode and uses the same IBM360 derived floppy disc format as the Intel 8271 found in the BBC Micro, it was also possible to run a DFS filing system with an alternate ROM, such as the P. R. E. S AP4 interface.

Applications could not directly address video memory in this mode without modification, so it was incompatible with most games, although there is no inherent reason why a game could not be written to function in shadow mode.

Of the capabilities present in the BBC Micro but absent from the Electron, the teletext-style mode 7 was particularly conspicuous because of the very low memory usage in that mode ( just less than 1 kB ) and the high number of BBC programs that used it.

The most basic solution was a pure software system supplied on a ROM cartridge that drew a low resolution approximation of the mode 7 display in a graphics mode.

The first used the same graphics processor as the BBC Micro in mode 7 — the SAA5050 — but used software to ensure that it was fed with the correct graphics data.

While the ULA would read the display from memory in the usual fashion, the SAA5050 would listen to the data it was reading and produce a mode 7 interpretation of the same information.

A software ROM was still supplied, but this did no more than expand the hardware ROM so that it knew mode 7 now existed and was able to switch into it.

No provision was added in the 128 kB Apple IIe and Apple IIc models ' BASIC interpreters for the new machines ' extra memory and double-resolution graphics, or for the Apple II's 16-color mode.

Exactly-once mode was essential for operations which were not idempotent ; in this mode, the responder kept a copy of the response buffers in memory until successful receipt of a release packet from the requestor, or until a timeout elapsed.

Note that the 64x16 TRS-80 mode screen uses only a small part of the monitor screen, because the letters are the same size as the 80 × 25 CP / M screen, this was one of the things that was soon after fixed with the redesign to a commercial product

A special version of NewDos / 80, ( an improved TRS-DOS compatible Disk operating system ) was used to support these disk capacities when using the TRS-80 compatibility mode.

A third mode was entered with a special boot floppy which turned the Aster into a Videotex terminal with a 40x25 display and a Videotex character set, The software used the built in RS232 interface of the Aster to control a modem through which it could contact a Prestel service provider.

Because the original designer had left the company another employee completely redesigned most of the system, ( adding a display snow remover circuit, true 80 / 64 column text mode support, ( with different size letters for TRS-80 and CP / M mode, so that in TRS-80 mode the full screen was also used, not just a 64x16 portion of the 80x25 screen ) with an improved font set ( adding " gray scale " version of the TRS-80 mozaik graphics and many special PETSCII like characters ), and a more flexible and reliable floppy disk controller and keyboard interface plus many other small improvements ), also an enclosure was developed for the main computer system, ( in the form of a 19-inch rack for the Eurocards ) and for two floppy disk drives and the power supply.

Speeding up the low portion of memory is particularly useful on 6502 derived machines because that processor has a faster addressing mode for the first 256 bytes and so it is common for software to put any variables involved in time critical sections of program into that region.

The computer itself must first be " trained " before the first or second of these methods are used ; that is, the new user enters the system in a special " learning mode " so that the system can learn to identify his handwriting or speech patterns.

The break from the classical mode came first with the Gothic revival, then the development of modernism during the 19th century.

There is a wide array of power-ups, such as a backpack that increases the player character's ammunition-carrying capacity, armor, first aid kits to restore health, the berserk pack ( a dark first aid box that puts the character into berserk mode, allowing him to deal out rocket launcher-level damage with his fists and potentially splattering former humans and imps, as well as setting the user's health to 100 % if it were lower ), supernatural blue orbs ( named soul spheres in the manuals ) that boost the player character's health up to a maximum of 200 %, nightvision, computer maps ( which show every area of the level ), partial invisibility, and protective suits that allow the player to survive in toxic acids.

Doom was not the first first-person shooter with a deathmatch mode — Maze War was a multiplayer FPS in 1973, and by 1977 was running over ethernet on Xerox computers.

Duck Hunt, Clay Shooting mode appears as the second round with the first round being the two duck variation ( the arcade version never had one duck ).

This was the first version to run Windows programs in protected mode, although the 386 enhanced mode kernel was an enhanced version of the protected mode kernel in Windows / 386.

Microsoft had a double gain from its release: first, it made it impossible for consumers to run Windows 95 on a cheaper, non-Microsoft DOS ; secondly, although traces of DOS were never completely removed from the system and MS DOS 7 would be loaded briefly as a part of the booting process, Windows 95 applications ran solely in 386 enhanced mode, with a flat 32-bit address space and virtual memory.

An interesting feature of this processor is that it was the first x86 processor with protected mode.

Practical problems with this new electro-optical effect made Heilmeier continue to work on scattering effects in liquid crystals and finally the achievement of the first operational liquid crystal display based on what he called the dynamic scattering mode ( DSM ).

Mariner 4 ( together with Mariner 3 known as Mariner-Mars 1964 ) was the fourth in a series of spacecraft, launched on November 28, 1964, intended for planetary exploration in a flyby mode and performed the first successful flyby of the planet Mars, returning the first pictures of the Martian surface.

They were one of the first U. S. bands outside of New York to play in the Ramones-style harder-louder-faster mode that would define punk rock.

The first operating system that took advantage of the Model B's capabilities was TOPS-20 release 3, and user mode extended addressing was offered in TOPS-20 release 4.

The first applications of PC-I in tomographic mode as distinguished from the computed tomographic mode were reported in 1970.

The first acceptance mode uses the internal memory ( state ), the second the external memory ( stack ).

Capture the Flag has become a standard game mode included in most popular multiplayer games released after Quake, in addition to Deathmatch first introduced in Doom.

Studies of retroviruses led to the first demonstrated synthesis of DNA from RNA templates, a fundamental mode for transferring genetic material that occurs in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

There is also a " Hunter " mode, in which a " prey " player with no weapons has to be hunted by the rest, and a capture the flag mode, which is probably the first first-person shooter incarnation of CTF.
