Wing loading — In aerodynamics, wing loading is the loaded weight of the aircraft divided by the area of the wing. [Thom, 1988. p. 6.] It is broadly reflective of the aircraft s lift to mass ratio, which affects its rate of climb, load carrying ability, and… … Wikipedia
Prefetch input queue — Most modern processors load their instructions some clock cycles before they execute them. This is achieved by pre loading machine code from memory into a prefetch input queue (PIQ).This behavior only applies to von Neumann computers (that is,… … Wikipedia
Voltage divider — In electronics, a voltage divider (also known as a potential divider) is a simple linear circuit that produces an output voltage ( V out) that is a fraction of its input voltage ( V in). Voltage division refers to the partitioning of a voltage… … Wikipedia

Test probe — Typical passive oscilloscope probe being used for testing an integrated circuit. A test probe (test lead, test prod, or scope probe) is a physical device used to connect electronic test equipment to the device under test (DUT). They range from… … Wikipedia
BSAVE (graphics image format) — A BSAVE Image (aka BSAVED Image ) as it is referenced in a graphics program is an image file format created usually by saving raw video memory to disk (sometimes but not always in a BASIC program using the BSAVE command).cite web|url = http://www … Wikipedia
Cascade amplifier — A cascade amplifier is any amplifier constructed from a series of amplifiers, where each amplifier sends its output to the input of the next amplifier in a daisy chain. [ [http://www.innovatia.com/Design Center/Amplifier Circuits.htm Innovatia:… … Wikipedia
Current divider — Figure 1: Schematic of an electrical circuit illustrating current division. Notation RT. refers to the total resistance of the circuit to the right of resistor RX. In electronics, a current divider is a simple linear circuit that produces an… … Wikipedia
Buffer amplifier — A buffer amplifier (sometimes simply called a buffer) is one that provides electrical impedance transformation from one circuit to another. Two main types of buffer exist: the voltage buffer and the current buffer. Figure 1: Top: Ideal voltage… … Wikipedia
Booting — This article is about bootstrapping operating systems. For the general concept, see Bootstrapping. For other uses, see Booting (disambiguation). In computing, booting (also known as booting up) is a process that begins when a user turns on a… … Wikipedia
