- motion jpeg — Moving JPEG
- moving jpeg — (graphics, compression) (M-JPEG) A compression technique for moving images which applies JPEG still image compression to each frame of a moving picture sequence. Play-back requires a machine capable of decompressing and displaying each JPEG image quickly enough to sustain the required frame rate of the picture sequence. There is no standard for Moving JPEG as with JPEG, but there are JPEG compression chips (for example see Zoran) which are designed to work at television frame rates and resolutions. See also MPEG and MPEG2.
- object lisp — (language) An object-oriented Lisp developed by Lisp Machines Inc. (LMI) in about 1987. Object Lisp was based on nested closures and operator shadowing. Several competing object-orientated extensions to Lisp were around at the time, such as Flavors, in use by Symbolics; Common Objects, developed by Hewlett-Packard; and CommonLoops in use by Xerox. LMI submitted the specification as a candidate for an object-oriented standard for Common Lisp, but it was defeated in favour of CLOS.

In 1963 Project MAC hosted a summer study, which brought many well-known computer scientists to Cambridge to use CTSS and to discuss the future of computing. Funding for Project MAC was provided by the Information Processing Techniques Office of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the US Department of Defense.
