This list of computer size categories attempts to list commonly used categories of computer by the physical size of the device and its chassis or case, in descending order of size. One generation's "supercomputer" is the next generation's "mainframe", and a "PDA" does not have the same set of functions as a "laptop", but the list still has ...
Note that Aicher's font sizes are based on the DIN standard then in development, which uses the H-height, whereas in lead typesetting the larger cap height was used.Some typographers have proposed using the x-height instead, because the psychological size depends more on the size of default, lowercase letters.
Below is a list of currently available tablet PCs grouped by their width, depth, height, screen size, and appropriate tablet case sizes. The most popular presently available tablet computers are compared in the following table:
Fire behaviour of building materials and building components – Part 22: Application standard for DIN 4102-4 based on the design of partial safety factors: Active: DIN 4108-1: Thermal protection and energy economy in buildings – Part 1: Quantities and units: Active: DIN 4108-2
The traditional typographic units are based either on non-metric units, or on odd multiples (such as 35 ⁄ 83) of a metric unit.There are no specifically metric units for this particular purpose, although there is a DIN standard sometimes used in German publishing, which measures type sizes in multiples of 0.25 mm, and proponents of the metrication of typography generally recommend the use of ...
Rack with sample component sizes including an A/V half-rack unit. A rack unit (abbreviated U or RU) is a unit of measure defined as 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (44.45 mm). [1] [2] It is most frequently used as a measurement of the overall height of 19-inch and 23-inch rack frames, as well as the height of equipment that mounts in these frames, whereby the height of the frame or equipment is expressed ...
36 bits – size of word on Univac 1100-series computers and Digital Equipment Corporation's PDP-10 56 bits (7 bytes) – cipher strength of the DES encryption standard 2 6: 64 bits (8 bytes) – size of an integer capable of holding 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 different values – size of an IEEE 754 double-precision floating point number
The second-generation Macintosh, launched in 1987, came with colour (and greyscale) capability as standard, at two levels, depending on monitor size—512×384 (1/4 of the later XGA standard) on a 12" (4:3) colour or greyscale (monochrome) monitor; 640×480 with a larger (13" or 14") high-resolution monitor (superficially similar to VGA, but at ...
