Database

Database is a structured collection of data that can be used for a variety of purposes. Databases are usually stored on a Hard Disc inside your computer, on a CD-ROM, or at a website. A database may contain data relating to staff employed by a company or to students at an educational institution. Databases can also contain bibliographies, glossaries, vocab lists, etc. In order to set up and manage a database you need a database program such as Microsoft Access

Gamut

It is the limited range of colors provided by a specific input device, output device or pigment set.

Gang Scanning

It is sequential scanning of multiple originals using the same previously defined exposure setting for each.

Define Scripts

This is a type of program that consists of a set of instructions for another application or utility to use

Central Processing Unit

Central Processing Unit (CPU or processor) is a central part of a computer (and can be referred to as the computer’s “brain”). It manages all other computer parts, monitors their mutual communication and performs arithmetic-logical operations. Processor speed is measured in hertz (or megahertz or gigahertz). Most famous manufacturers for personal computer processors are Intel and AMD

Define Resampling

It is an increase or reduction in the number of pixels in an image, required to change its resolution without altering its size. See also down-sampling and interpolation.

Handshaking

It is the process computers and modems go through in order to establish a connection and agree on the speed and protocols for data transmission.

Hayes Compatible

It is a modem is considered Hayes Compatible if it supports the Hayes command set (a language used to communicate with and control a modem).

Daughterboard

This is a board that attaches to (rides piggyback on) another board, such as the motherboard or an expansion card. For example, you can often add a daughter card containing additional memory to an accelerator card.

3 Pie graph

Half toning Factor

It is a multiplication factor (between 1 and 2) applied to output screen ruling to calculate scanning resolution for optimum output quality. This is also known as the half toning factor.

Coprocessor

It is a chip designed specifically to handle a particular task, such as math calculations or displaying graphics on-screen. A coprocessor is faster at its specialized function than the main processor is, and it relieves the processor of some work. A coprocessor can reside on the motherboard or be part of an expansion card, as with an accelerator.
