    Central Train Indicator at Hilversum railway station announcing the Intercity towards Deventer; probably because of a disruption, it today ends at Amersfoort.. A passenger information system, or passenger information display system, is an automated system for supplying users of public transport with information about the nature and the state of a public transport service through visual, voice ...

    In order to implement this output signal for a practical triggering of a load such as a relay or a data logger, or an alarm, the differential signal is rectified using a bridge rectifier and fed to a transistorized relay driver circuit. The contacts of this relay close and open in response to the signals from the PIR, activating the attached ...

    That means any packet sent to any of those addresses is looped back. The address 127.0.0.1 is the standard address for IPv4 loopback traffic; the rest are not supported by all operating systems. However, they can be used to set up multiple server applications on the host, all listening on the same port number.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, Ethernet switch, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge [1]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device.

    This part of the driver code was later released. [227] However, much of the actual driver work is done using the closed source GPU code. Application software makes calls to closed source run-time libraries ( OpenMAX IL , OpenGL ES or OpenVG ), which in turn call an open source driver inside the Linux kernel, which then calls the closed source ...

  7. Context switch - Wikipedia

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_switch

    A context switch can also occur as the result of an interrupt, such as when a task needs to access disk storage, freeing up CPU time for other tasks. Some operating systems also require a context switch to move between user mode and kernel mode tasks. The process of context switching can have a negative impact on system performance. [3]: 28
