5.4. Translate some popular words and phrases used
In technical texts.
1. .A possible scenario for electronic packaging; interference scenario; scenarios of moderate and strong load management; in ah alternate processing scenario.
The growing size of on-board memory makes even that simple scenario cumbersome.
The stresses and strains of rapid technological growth have produced the following scenario...
There is a plethora of credible scenarios for achieving human-level intelligence in a machine.
2. Structural candidate;
candidate correlation function;
candidate material,
each candidate root;
three candidate definitions of the vector phase velocity.
3. The world of integrated circuits;
the entire world of biological structures;
the binary-dominated solid-state world;
the analog world;
real world problem (image, situation);
real-world power systems.
4.Microprocessors are a new entry to the semiconductors' world.
The effectiveness of a signature analysis stems from its origin in the cyclical redundancy check of the computer world.
Most of these programmers will be writing application software programs written in a high-level language and designed to solve some real-world problems.
Even so, some cannot help but wonder why they cannot simply have best of both worlds: the cost and size of the microcomputer, and the ease of use and performance of the minicomputer systems with which they are familia.r
5.This feat was due solely to the arrival of high-density semiconductor technology.
Unix made this feat possible, but more important, it enabled the system to be shaped by user needs.
6. A study was made of the effect of variations in driving frequency on reaction rate in high-frequency discharges.
The chips can put out from 35 to 75 ma, enough to directly drive ordinary industrial switches.
7. a watchdog timer a skeleton routine a skeleton instruction a skeleton fashion to capture, a burden and a blessing the wisdom of new horizons on the horizon, the signaling art "don't care" conversevely in depth' due to established global infancy to be in its infancy mirror pitfall to proliferate proliferation striking tractable trick trademark |
