  • acquired immunodeficiency syndrome — AIDS.
  • adaptive transform acoustic coding — (algorithm)   (ATRAC) An audio compression algorithm, introduced by Sony for its Mini Disk, which relies on the masking of low-amplitude frequency components by temporaly adjacent high-amplitude components. ATRAC consists of a three-band subband encoder (0...5.5, 5.5...11, 11...22 kHz) and a MDCT based transformation encoder.
  • algebra of communicating processes — (theory)   (ACP) Compare CCS.
  • american friends service committee — a social-service organization founded 1917 by the Religious Society of Friends: Nobel Peace Prize 1947. Abbreviation: AFSC, A.F.S.C.
  • association of american publishers — (body, publication)   (AAP) A group engaged in standardisation efforts in document preparation.
  • baltic centre for contemporary art — an arts centre in Gateshead, NE England: formerly a 1950s grain warehouse: used for its present purpose since 2002. It has no permanent collection, but rather hosts a programme of temporary exhibitions and events
  • bank for international settlements — an international organization, founded in 1930, to foster international monetary and financial cooperation and to serve as a bank for central banks. Its head office is in Basel, Switzerland
  • be charm, success, etc personified — to be very charming, successful, etc
  • commissioner of official languages — (in Canada) the ombudsman for English and French bilingualism in the federal government
  • common hardware reference platform — PowerPC Platform
  • communicating functional processes — (language)   (CFP) A parallel functional programming language.
  • consumer product safety commission — an independent regulatory agency, created in 1972, that protects the public against risk of injury from consumer products. Abbreviation: CPSC.
  • control program for microcomputers — (operating system)   (CP/M) An early microcomputer operating system written by Gary Kildall of Digital Research for 8080 and Zilog Z80-based 8-bit computers. CP/M was very popular in the late 1970s but was virtually wiped out by MS-DOS after the release of the IBM PC in 1981. Many of CP/M's features and conventions strongly resemble those of early DEC operating systems such as TOPS-10, OS/8, RSTS and RSX-11. CP/M might have been the OS for the IBM PC instead of MS-DOS but Kildall wanted to keep control of his creation and only license it to IBM. Big Blue however wanted to own and control it completely. Kildall spent the day IBM's reps wanted to meet him enjoying the perfect flying weather in his private plane.
  • defense information systems agency — (DISA) Formerly called the Defense Communications Agency (DCA), this is the government agency responsible for managing the Defense Data Network (DDN) portion of the Internet, including the MILNET. Currently, DISA administers the DDN, and supports the user assistance services of the DDN NIC.
  • extended system configuration data — (operating system)   (ESCD) An area of memory, not exceeding 32 kilobytes in size, used by MS-DOS(?) as NVRAM for PNP BIOS and PNP OS. It must be writeable at run time. Intel's ICU also uses ESCD to store information for PNP ISA cards and legacy ISA cards.
  • ferroelectric random access memory — (storage)   (FRAM) A type of non-volatile read/write random access semiconductor memory. FRAM combines the advantages of SRAM - writing is roughly as fast as reading, and EPROM - non-volatility and in-circuit programmability. Current (Feb 1997) disadvantages are high cost and low density, but that may change in the future. Density is currently at most 32KB on a chip, compared with 512KB for SRAM, 1MB for EPROM and 8MB for DRAM. A ferroelectric memory cell consists of a ferroelectric capacitor and a MOS transistor. Its construction is similar to the storage cell of a DRAM. The difference is in the dielectric properties of the material between the capacitor's electrodes. This material has a high dielectric constant and can be polarized by an electric field. The polarisation remains until it gets reversed by an opposite electrical field. This makes the memory non-volatile. Note that ferroelectric material, despite its name, does not necessarily contain iron. The most well-known ferroelectric substance is BaTiO3, which does not contain iron. Data is read by applying an electric field to the capacitor. If this switches the cell into the opposite state (flipping over the electrical dipoles in the ferroelectric material) then more charge is moved than if the cell was not flipped. This can be detected and amplified by sense amplifiers. Reading destroys the contents of a cell which must therefore be written back after a read. This is similar to the precharge operation in DRAM, though it only needs to be done after a read rather than periodically as with DRAM refresh. In fact it is most like the operation of ferrite core memory. FRAM has similar applications to EEPROM, but can be written much faster. The simplicity of the memory cell promises high density devices which can compete with DRAM.
  • frequency division multiple access — frequency division multiplexing
  • frobozz magic programming language — (language)   (FMPL of Accardi). A prototype-based, object-oriented, event-driven (mainly I/O events) interpreted language with functional features.

  • industrial development certificate — (in Britain) a certificate issued by the Department of the Environment to an industrial organization wishing to build or extend a factory, which has to accompany an application for planning permission
  • language for communicating systems — (language)   (LCS) A concurrent SML by Bernard Berthomieu with behaviours and processes, based upon higher order CCS.
