Maybe these words will be useful:
  • device — A device is an object that has been invented for a particular purpose, for example for recording or measuring something.
  • deviceful — full of devices; inventive; cunning
  • devices — a thing made for a particular purpose; an invention or contrivance, especially a mechanical or electrical one.
  • device driver — (operating system)   Software to control a hardware component or peripheral device of a computer such as a magnetic disk, magnetic tape or printer. A device driver is responsible for accessing the hardware registers of the device and often includes an interrupt handler to service interrupts generated by the device. Device drivers often form part of the lowest level of the operating system kernel, with which they are linked when the kernel is built. Some more recent systems have loadable device drivers which can be installed from files after the operating system is running.
  • device independent bitmap — (graphics, file format)   (DIB) An image format in which the sequence and depth of pixels in the file is not specifically related to their layout in any particular device. This allows any device dependent bitmap (DDB) image to be converted to or DIB format without loss of information, and this can then later be converted to other DDB formats for, e.g., printing or display. Rather than requiring converters from each DDB format to all other formats, only converters to and from DIB are needed. DIB images are normally transferred in metafiles, bmp files, and the clipboard. Transferring colour bitmaps from one device to another was not possible in versions of Microsoft Windows earlier than 3.0. Application programs can build DIB images without any interaction with Windows. If Windows lacks a drawing primitive, the application can simulate it directly into the DIB instead of using the existing graphics device interface (GDI) primitives. Unfortunately, under Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1, GDI cannot perform output operations directly to a DIB. Conversion between DIB and DDB is performed by the device driver. Where the driver does not have this facility, the conversion is performed by GDI but only in monochrome. DIBs are slower to use than device dependent bitmaps due to the conversions required.
  • device control — (character)   One of the four ASCII characters, DC1, DC2, DC3, and DC4, once used to remotely control equipment (e.g. a paper tape reader) via electromagnetic switches. The characters were usually paired, DC1/DC3 turning one device on/off, and DC2/DC4 another.
  • device control 1 — control-Q
  • device control 2 — (character)   (DC2) The mnemonic for ASCII character 18, one of the four Device Control characters.
  • device control 3 — control-S
  • device control 4 — (character)   (DC4) The mnemonic for ASCII character 20, one of the four Device Control characters.
