14-letter words containing c, l, o, g

  • logic emulator — A system of FPGAs, programmable interconnect and software which automatically configures itself into an operating prototype of a large-scale logic design, such as a microprocessor. An emulated design can be connected into the target system and really operated and tested before the design is made into an integrated circuit.
  • logic variable — (programming)   A variable in a logic programming language which is initially undefined ("unbound") but may get bound to a value or another logic variable during unification of the containing clause with the current goal. The value to which it is bound may contain other variables which may themselves be bound or unbound. For example, when unifying the clause sad(X) :- computer(X, ibmpc). with the goal sad(billgates). the variable X will become bound to the atom "billgates" yielding the new subgoal "computer(billgates, ibmpc)".
  • logic-chopping — the use of excessively subtle argument
  • logical syntax — syntactics.
  • logistic curve — a curve, shaped like a letter S , defined as an exponential function and used to model various forms of growth.
  • long-neck clam — soft-shell clam.
  • long-term care — continuing help and attention
  • longcase clock — tall freestanding timepiece
  • low technology — any technology utilizing equipment and production techniques that are relatively unsophisticated (opposed to high technology).
  • lower michigan — the southern part of Michigan, S of the Strait of Mackinac.
  • lu-wang school — School of Mind.
  • luggage locker — a large locker at a transport terminal or airport where luggage can be left temporarily
  • macrobiologist — One who studies macrobiology.
  • macroglobulins — Plural form of macroglobulin.
  • macrosociology — the sociological study of large-scale social systems and long-term patterns and processes.
  • magnetooptical — Having both magnetic and optical elements.
  • malfunctioning — failure to function properly: a malfunction of the liver; the malfunction of a rocket.
  • malpighiaceous — of, relating to, or belonging to the Malpighiaceae, a family of tropical plants many of which are lianas

  • megascopically — macroscopically
  • megatechnology — high technology that is developing rapidly
  • metallogenetic — metallogenic

  • meteorological — pertaining to meteorology or to phenomena of the atmosphere or weather.
  • methodological — a set or system of methods, principles, and rules for regulating a given discipline, as in the arts or sciences.
  • microbiologist — the branch of biology dealing with the structure, function, uses, and modes of existence of microscopic organisms.
  • micropathology — the branch of pathology dealing with the microscopic study of changes that occur in tissues and cells during disease.
  • microsociology — the sociological study of small groups and social units within a larger social system.
  • miscounselling — the act of giving bad or incorrect counselling
  • mmx technology — Matrix Math eXtensions
  • model checking — (theory, algorithm, testing)   To algorithmically check whether a program (the model) satisfies a specification. The model is usually expressed as a directed graph consisting of nodes (or vertices) and edges. A set of atomic propositions is associated with each node. The nodes represents states of a program, the edges represent possible executions which alters the state, while the atomic propositions represent the basic properties that hold at a point of execution. A specification language, usually some kind of temporal logic, is used to express properties. The problem can be expressed mathematically as: given a temporal logic formula p and a model M with initial state s, decide if M,s \models p.
  • modelling clay — mouldable substance fixed in a kiln
  • monoglycerides — Plural form of monoglyceride.
  • morganatically — In a morganatic manner.
  • mos technology — (company)   A microprocessor design company started by some ex-Motorola designers, shortly after the Intel 8080 and Motorola 6800 appeared, in about 1975. MOS Technology introduced the 650x series, based on the Motorola 6800 design, though they were not exact clones for legal reasons. The design goal was a low-cost (smaler chip) design, realized by simplifying the decoder stage. There were no instructions with the value xxxxxx11, reducing the 1-of-4 decoder to a single NAND gate. Instructions with the value xxxxxx11 actually executed two instructions in paralell, some of them useful. The 6501 was pin-compatible with the 6800 for easier market penetration. The 650x-series had an on-chip clock oscillator while the 651x-series had none. The 6510 was used in the Commodore 64, released September 1981 and MOS made almost all the ICs for Commodore's pocket calculators. The PET was an idea of the of the 6500 developers. It was completly developed by MOS, but was manufactured and marketed by Commodore. By the time the it was ready for production (and Commodore had cancelled all orders) MOS had been taken over by Rockwell (Commodore's parent company). Just at this time the 6522 (VIA) was finished, but the data sheet for it was not and its developers had left MOS. For years, Rockwell didn't know in detail how the VIA worked.
