  2. Job control (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_control_(Unix)

    Job control allows the shell to control these related processes as one entity, and when a user issues the appropriate key combination (usually Control+Z), the entire group of processes gets suspended. Jobs are managed by the operating system as a single process group, and the job is the shell's internal representation of such a group.

  3. Job control (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_control_(computing)

    As time sharing systems developed, interactive job control emerged. An end-user in a time sharing system could submit a job interactively from his remote terminal (remote job entry), communicate with the operators to warn them of special requirements, and query the system as to its progress. He could assign a priority to the job, and terminate ...

  4. Servomechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomechanism

    A potentiometer provides a simple analog signal to indicate position, while an encoder provides position and usually speed feedback, which by the use of a PID controller allow more precise control of position and thus faster achievement of a stable position (for a given motor power).

  5. Force control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_control

    The position of the surface must therefore be known. Because of the lower performance of robot controllers of that time, force control could only be performed on mainframe computers. Thus, a controller cycle of ≈100 ms was achieved. [3] In 1981, Raibert and Craig presented a paper on hybrid force/position control which is still important ...

  6. Sliding mode control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_mode_control

    The state-feedback control law is not a continuous function of time. Instead, it can switch from one continuous structure to another based on the current position in the state space. Hence, sliding mode control is a variable structure control method. The multiple control structures are designed so that trajectories always move toward an ...

  7. Thesaurus (information retrieval) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesaurus_(information...

    A thesaurus is composed by at least three elements: 1-a list of words (or terms), 2-the relationship amongst the words (or terms), indicated by their hierarchical relative position (e.g. parent/broader term; child/narrower term, synonym, etc.), 3-a set of rules on how to use the thesaurus.

  8. Job control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_control

    Job control (computing), the control of multiple tasks or jobs on a computer system; Job control (Unix), control of jobs by a shell in Unix and Unix-like operating systems; Job Control Language, scripting languages used on IBM mainframe operating systems

    Also simply application or app. Computer software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. Common examples of applications include word processors, spreadsheets, accounting applications, web browsers, media players, aeronautical flight simulators, console games, and photo editors. This contrasts with system software, which is ...
