  2. Stuck-at fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuck-at_fault

    The model assumes one line or node in the digital circuit is stuck at logic high or logic low. When a line is stuck, it is called a fault. Digital circuits can be divided into: Gate level or combinational circuits which contain no storage (latches and/or flip flops) but only gates like NAND, OR, XOR, etc. Sequential circuits which contain storage.

  3. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

  4. Cutoff (steam engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_(steam_engine)

    In a steam engine, cutoff is the point in the piston stroke at which the inlet valve is closed. On a steam locomotive, the cutoff is controlled by the reversing gear.. The point at which the inlet valve closes and stops the entry of steam into the cylinder from the boiler plays a crucial role in the control of a steam engine.

  5. Superheated steam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheated_steam

    Superheated steam was widely used in main line steam locomotives. Saturated steam has three main disadvantages in a steam engine: it contains small droplets of water which have to be periodically drained from the cylinders; being precisely at the boiling point of water for the boiler pressure in use, it inevitably condenses to some extent in the steam pipes and cylinders outside the boiler ...

  6. Quality of service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_service

    In this context, QoS is the acceptable cumulative effect on subscriber satisfaction of all imperfections affecting the service. Other terms with similar meaning are the quality of experience (QoE), mean opinion score (MOS), perceptual speech quality measure (PSQM) and perceptual evaluation of video quality (PEVQ).

  7. Bit rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate

    In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. [1]The bit rate is expressed in the unit bit per second (symbol: bit/s), often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s) or tera (1 Tbit/s = 1,000 Gbit/s).

    As a hit-driven business, the great majority of the video game industry's software releases have been commercial disappointments.In the early 21st century, industry commentators made these general estimates: 10% of published games generated 90% of revenue; [1] that around 3% of PC games and 15% of console games have global sales of more than 100,000 units per year, with even this level ...
