    Typical POST screen (AMI BIOS) Typical UEFI-compliant BIOS POST screen (Phoenix Technologies BIOS) Summary screen after POST and before booting an operating system (AMI BIOS) 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.

  3. Glitch removal - Wikipedia

    A glitch (circled in red) occurring during circuit operation. Glitch removal is the elimination of glitches—unnecessary signal transitions without functionality—from electronic circuits.

  4. Nonvolatile BIOS memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    Nonvolatile BIOS memory refers to a small memory on PC motherboards that is used to store BIOS settings. It is traditionally called CMOS RAM because it uses a volatile, low-power complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) SRAM (such as the Motorola MC146818 [1] or similar) powered by a small battery when system and standby power is off. [2]

  5. Defective pixel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defective_pixel

    A bright dot defect or hot pixel is a group of three sub-pixels (one pixel) all of whose transistors are "off" for TN panels or stuck "on" for MVA and PVA panels. [2] This allows all light to pass through to the RGB layer, creating a bright pixel that is always on.

  6. Checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

    The content of such spam may often vary in its details, which would render normal checksumming ineffective. By contrast, a "fuzzy checksum" reduces the body text to its characteristic minimum, then generates a checksum in the usual manner. This greatly increases the chances of slightly different spam emails producing the same checksum.

  7. Luhn algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm

    The algorithm appeared in a United States Patent [1] for a simple, hand-held, mechanical device for computing the checksum. The device took the mod 10 sum by mechanical means. The substitution digits, that is, the results of the double and reduce procedure, were not produced mechanically. Rather, the digits were marked in their permuted order ...

  8. Internet checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_checksum

    The checksum field is the 16 bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of all 16 bit words in the header. For purposes of computing the checksum, the value of the checksum field is zero. If there is no corruption, the result of summing the entire IP header, including checksum, and then taking its one's complement should be zero.

  9. Charge sharing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_sharing

    There are several approaches on the correction of charge sharing. [3] One approach is to neglect all events, where in the same time window there is a detector response in more than one corresponding pixel - which severely reduces detector efficiency and limits the possible maximum countrate.
