Computer hardware and software standards are technical standards instituted for compatibility and interoperability between software, systems, platforms and devices. Hardware [ edit ]
The International System of Electrical and Magnetic Units is an obsolete system of units used for measuring electrical and magnetic quantities. It was proposed as a system of practical international units (e.g., the international ampere, the international ohm, the international volt) by unanimous recommendation at the International Electrical Congress (Chicago, 1893), discussed at other ...
A more interactive form of computer use developed commercially by the middle 1960s. In a time-sharing system, multiple teleprinter and display terminals let many people share the use of one mainframe computer processor, with the operating system assigning time slices to each user's jobs. This was common in business applications and in science ...

Georg Simon Ohm (/ oʊ m /; [1] German: [ˈɡeːɔʁk ˈʔoːm]; [2] [3] 16 March 1789 – 6 July 1854) was a German physicist and mathematician.As a school teacher, Ohm began his research with the new electrochemical cell, invented by Italian scientist Alessandro Volta.
A NeXT Computer and its object-oriented development tools and libraries were used by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau at CERN to develop the world's first web server software, CERN httpd, and also used to write the first web browser, WorldWideWeb. Systems as complicated as computers require very high reliability. ENIAC remained on, in ...
Basic components of a calendar date for the most common calendar systems: D – day; M – month; Y – year; Specific formats for the basic components: yy – two-digit year, e.g. 24; yyyy – four-digit year, e.g. 2024; m – one-digit month for months below 10, e.g. 3; mm – two-digit month, e.g. 03; mmm – three-letter abbreviation for ...
In the 1970s the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) defined a set of convenient numbers to ease metrication in the United States.This system of metric values was described as 1–2–5 series in reverse, with assigned preferences for those numbers which are multiples of 5, 2, and 1 (plus their powers of 10), excluding linear dimensions above 100 mm.
