61Programmable logic device — A programmable logic device or PLD is an electronic component used to build reconfigurable digital circuits. Unlike a logic gate, which has a fixed function, a PLD has an undefined function at the time of manufacture. Before the PLD can be used… …
62Language acquisition device — The Language Acquisition Device (LAD) is a postulated organ of the brain that is supposed to function as a congenital device for learning symbolic language (i.e., language acquisition). First proposed by Noam Chomsky, the LAD concept is a… …
63Residual-current device — A two pole residual current device A Residual Current Device is a generic term covering both RCCBs and RCBOs. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) is an electrical wiring device that disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the… …
64Semiconductor device modeling — creates models for the behavior of the electrical devices based on fundamental physics, such as the doping profiles of the devices. It may also include the creation of compact models (such as the well known SPICE transistor models), which try to… …
65Programmed input/output — (PIO) is a method of transferring data between the CPU and a peripheral such as a network adapter or an ATA storage device. In general, programmed I/O happens when software running on the CPU uses instructions that access I/O address space to… …
66Data storage device — Many different consumer electronic devices can store data …
67Mobile device — A mobile handheld device See also: Portable communications device and Mobile computing A mobile device (also known as a handheld device, handheld computer or simply handheld) is a small, hand held computing device, typically having a display …
68Nonlinear device — A nonlinear device is a device which does not have a linear input/output relation. In a diode, for example, the current is a non linear function of the voltage::I = I 0 e^{U/U T}Most semiconductor devices have non linear characteristics, but if… …
69Japanese input methods — are the methods used to input Japanese characters on a computer. There are two main methods of inputting Japanese on computers. One is via a romanized version of Japanese called rōmaji (literally Roman letters ), and the other is via keyboard… …
70Bucket-brigade device — A bucket brigade or bucket brigade device (BBD) is a discrete time analogue delay line,[1] developed in 1969 by F. Sangster and K. Teer of the Philips Research Labs. It consists of a series of capacitance sections C0 to Cn. The stored analogue… …
