  2. Ring (company) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(company)

    In November 2013, Ring was founded as Doorbot by Jamie Siminoff. Doorbot was crowdfunded via Christie Street, and raised US$ 364,000, more than the $250,000 requested. [1] [4] [5] Siminoff's team envisioned the product's concept as an "alarm system literally turned inside out" in comparison to other security systems, describing it as a "pre-crime" system. [6]

  3. Electrical code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_code

    An electrical code is a term for a set of regulations for the design and installation of electrical wiring in a building. The intention of such regulations is to provide standards to ensure electrical wiring systems are safe for people and property, protecting them from electrical shock and fire hazards.

  4. Installation (computer programs) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installation_(computer...

    Installation (or setup) of a computer program (including device drivers and plugins), is the act of making the program ready for execution. Installation refers to the particular configuration of software or hardware with a view to making it usable with the computer. A soft or digital copy of the piece of software (program) is needed to install it.

  5. Ring circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_circuit

    The ring starts at the consumer unit (also known as fuse box, distribution board, or breaker box), visits each socket in turn, and then returns to the consumer unit. The ring is fed from a fuse or circuit breaker in the consumer unit. Ring circuits are commonly used in British wiring with socket-outlets taking fused plugs to BS 1363. Because ...

  6. Token Ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_Ring

    Token Ring employs access priority in which certain nodes can have priority over the token. Unswitched Ethernet did not have a provision for an access priority system as all nodes have equal access to the transmission medium. Multiple identical MAC addresses are supported on Token Ring (a feature used by S/390 mainframes). [12]

  7. Ring ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_ground

    Ring grounds should be installed beyond the building's drip line to prevent corrosion of the ring's metal. Ring grounds are very commonly used around communications equipment such as cell phone towers, police radio towers, and other types of radio towers and equipment buildings. They are also often used to protect computer data centers.

  8. Ring network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_network

    "Rings prevent collisions." The term "ring" only refers to the layout of the cables. It is true that there are no collisions on an IBM Token Ring, but this is because of the layer 2 Media Access Control method, not the physical topology (which again is a star, not a ring.) Token passing, not rings, prevent collisions. "Token passing happens on ...

  9. Completion of a ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completion_of_a_ring

    pronounced "R I hat". The kernel of the canonical map π from the ring to its completion is the intersection of the powers of I. Thus π is injective if and only if this intersection reduces to the zero element of the ring; by the Krull intersection theorem, this is the case for any commutative Noetherian ring which is an integral domain or a ...
