    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test

    Power-on self-test. A power-on self-test (POST) is a process performed by firmware or software routines immediately after a computer or other digital electronic device is powered on. [1] POST processes may set the initial state of the device from firmware and detect if any hardware components are non-functional.

  3. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    The original information may or may not appear literally in the encoded output; codes that include the unmodified input in the output are systematic, while those that do not are non-systematic. A simplistic example of ECC is to transmit each data bit 3 times, which is known as a (3,1) repetition code .

  4. Transcription error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_error

    Electronic transcription errors occur when the scan of some printed matter is compromised or in an unusual font – for example, if the paper is crumpled, or the ink is smudged, the OCR may make transcription errors when reading.

  5. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    A checksum of a message is a modular arithmetic sum of message code words of a fixed word length (e.g., byte values). The sum may be negated by means of a ones'-complement operation prior to transmission to detect unintentional all-zero messages.

    Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter. A universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART / ˈjuːɑːrt /) is a peripheral device for asynchronous serial communication in which the data format and transmission speeds are configurable. It sends data bits one by one, from the least significant to the most significant, framed by start and ...

    Typing on a laptop keyboard. A computer keyboard is a peripheral input device modeled after the typewriter keyboard [1][2] which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches. Replacing early punched cards and paper tape technology, interaction via teleprinter -style keyboards have been the main input ...

  9. Single-event upset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-event_upset

    Single-event upsets were first described during above-ground nuclear testing, from 1954 to 1957, when many anomalies were observed in electronic monitoring equipment.. Further problems were observed in space electronics during the 1960s, although it was difficult to separate soft failures from other forms of interfe
