  2. Riser card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riser_card

    Motherboard of an IBM PS/ValuePoint personal computer model (c. from 1993 to 1995) with an Intel i486SX microprocessor, with an elongated connector (black, horizontally in the middle/left between upper and lower edge) for the riser card on which the ISA bus slots were located. A riser card is a printed circuit board that gives a computer ...

  3. Computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

    Computer science. Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [ 1][ 2][ 3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software ). [ 4][ 5][ 6] Algorithms and data ...

  4. Direct memory access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_memory_access

    Direct memory access ( DMA) is a feature of computer systems that allows certain hardware subsystems to access main system memory independently of the central processing unit (CPU). [ 1]

    The fans are also at the rear and front. The power supply is on the bottom rear. A computer case, also known as a computer chassis, is the enclosure that contains most of the hardware of a personal computer. The components housed inside the case (such as the CPU, motherboard, memory, mass storage devices, power supply unit and various expansion ...

  6. Mobilities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilities

    Mobilities. Mobilities is a contemporary paradigm in the social sciences that explores the movement of people ( human migration, individual mobility, travel, transport ), ideas (see e.g. meme) and things (transport), as well as the broader social implications of those movements. Mobility can also be thought as the movement of people through ...

  7. Cartesian coordinate robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_robot

    A plotter is an implementation of a Cartesian coordinate robot. A Cartesian coordinate robot (also called linear robot) is an industrial robot whose three principal axes of control are linear (i.e. they move in a straight line rather than rotate) and are at right angles to each other. [ 1] The three sliding joints correspond to moving the wrist ...

  8. Horizontal coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_coordinate_system

    The horizontal coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system that uses the observer's local horizon as the fundamental plane to define two angles of a spherical coordinate system: altitude and azimuth . Therefore, the horizontal coordinate system is sometimes called the az/el system, [ 1] the alt/az system, or the alt-azimuth system, among ...
