    A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation describing an ... followed by the subsequent "behaviors" of the machine, e.g. "P print" then move tape "R ...

  3. Turning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning

    The turning processes are typically carried out on a lathe, considered to be the oldest of machine tools, and can be of different types such as straight turning, taper turning, profiling or external grooving. Those types of turning processes can produce various shapes of materials such as straight, conical, curved, or grooved workpieces.

  4. Halting problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

    Theorem 2.2 There exists a Turing machine whose halting problem is recursively unsolvable. A related problem is the printing problem for a simple Turing machine Z with respect to a symbol S i ". A possible precursor to Davis's formulation is Kleene's 1952 statement, which differs only in wording: [19] [20]

  5. Rotary printing press - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_printing_press

    Early rotary newspaper printing press in Bristol, 1858. William Nicholson filed a 1790 patent for a rotary press. The rotary press itself is an evolution of the cylinder press, also patented by William Nicholson, invented by Beaucher of France in the 1780s and by Friedrich Koenig in the early 19th century.

  6. Mimeograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimeograph

    A mimeograph machine (often abbreviated to mimeo, sometimes called a stencil duplicator or stencil machine) was a low-cost duplicating machine that worked by forcing ink through a stencil onto paper. [1] The process was called mimeography, and a copy made by the process was a mimeograph.

  7. Enumerator (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumerator_(computer_science)

    An enumerator is a Turing machine with an attached printer. The Turing machine can use that printer as an output device to print strings. Every time the Turing machine wants to add a string to the list, it sends the string to the printer. Enumerator is a type of Turing machine variant and is equivalent with Turing machine.

  8. Printing press - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press

    A printing press is a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink.It marked a dramatic improvement on earlier printing methods in which the cloth, paper, or other medium was brushed or rubbed repeatedly to achieve the transfer of ink and accelerated the process.

  9. Offset printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_printing

    Offset printing is a common printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier.
