  • magnetostatics — the branch of magnetics that deals with magnetic fields that do not vary with time (magnetostatic fields)
  • magnifications — Plural form of magnification.
  • magnox reactor — a nuclear reactor using carbon dioxide as the coolant, graphite as the moderator, and uranium cased in magnox as the fuel
  • malfunctioning — failure to function properly: a malfunction of the liver; the malfunction of a rocket.
  • margin account — an account opened by a customer with a brokerage house in which listed securities can be purchased on margin.
  • megatechnology — high technology that is developing rapidly
  • mesh stockings — stockings with a netted pattern or made out of a netted material such as lace or netted nylon
  • meta-cognitive — higher-order thinking that enables understanding, analysis, and control of one’s cognitive processes, especially when engaged in learning.
  • metallogenetic — metallogenic
  • microcomputing — the use of microcomputers.
  • microfortnight — One millionth of the fundamental unit of time in the Furlong/Firkin/Fortnight system of measurement; 1.2096 sec. (A furlong is 1/8th of a mile; a firkin is 1/4th of a barrel; the mass unit of the system is taken to be a firkin of water). The VMS operating system has a lot of tuning parameters that you can set with the SYSGEN utility, and one of these is TIMEPROMPTWAIT, the time the system will wait for an operator to set the correct date and time at boot if it realises that the current value is bogus. This time is specified in microfortnights! Multiple uses of the millifortnight (about 20 minutes) and nanofortnight have also been reported.
  • micromagnetism — (physics) The study of magnetism at the sub-micrometre scale.
  • micromarketing — the marketing of products or services designed to meet the needs of a very small section of the market
  • misrecognition — Incorrect recognition.
  • mmx technology — Matrix Math eXtensions
  • 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.

  • neurocomputing — computing that makes use of neural networks
  • nitrogen cycle — the continuous sequence of events by which atmospheric nitrogen and nitrogenous compounds in the soil are converted, as by nitrification and nitrogen fixation, into substances that can be utilized by green plants, the substances returning to the air and soil as a result of the decay of the plants and denitrification.
  • nitroglycerine — a colorless, thick, oily, flammable, highly explosive, slightly water-soluble liquid, C 3 H 5 N 3 O 9 , prepared from glycerol with nitric and sulfuric acids: used chiefly as a constituent of dynamite and other explosives, in rocket propellants, and in medicine as a vasodilator in the treatment of angina pectoris.
