High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Open source hardware is hardware that is designed and offered in the same manner as free and open source software. Open source hardware is part of the open source culture and applies the open source concept to hardware. Open source hardware usually means that information about the hardware is open to all. This would include the hardware design, as well as a FOSS approach to the software that drives the hardware. Since the rise of reconfigurable programmable logic devices, sharing of logic designs has been a form of open source hardware. Instead of sharing the schematics, as in hardware description language, code is shared. HDL descriptions are commonly used to set up system-on-a-chip systems...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Open hearth furnaces are one of a number of kinds of furnace where excess carbon and other impurities are burnt out of the pig iron to produce steel. Since steel is difficult to manufacture due to its high melting point, normal fuels and furnaces were insufficient and the open hearth furnace was developed to overcome this difficulty. Most open hearth furnaces were closed by the early 1990s, not least because of their fuel inefficiency, being replaced by the basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Open end spinning or open-end spinning is a technology for creating yarn without using a spindle. It was invented and developed in Czechoslovakia in Vyzkumny ustav bavlna?sky / Cotton Researching Institute in Usti nad Orlici in the year 1963. It is also known as break spinning or rotor spinning. The principal behind open end spinning is similar to that of a clothes dryer spinning full of sheets. If you could open the door and pull out a sheet, it would spin together as you pulled it out. Sliver from the card goes into the rotor, is spun into yarn and comes out, wrapped up on a bobbin, all ready to go to the next step. There is no roving stage or re-packaging on an auto-coner. This system is...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Open systems are computer systems that provide some combination of interoperability, portability, and open software standards. (It can also mean specific installations that are configured to allow unrestricted access by people and/or other computers; this article does not discuss that meaning.)The term was popularized in the early 1980s, mainly to describe systems based on Unix, especially in contrast to the more entrenched mainframes and minicomputers in use at that time. Unlike older legacy systems, the newer generation of Unix systems featured standardized programming interfaces and peripheral interconnects; third party development of hardware and software was encouraged, a significant...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Open source software security is the measure of assurance or guarantee in the freedom from danger and risk inherent to an open source software system.There is an ongoing debate on whether open source software increases software security or is detrimental to its security. There are a variety of different benefits and drawbacks for both sides of the argument. There are also a variety of metrics and models to measure the effectiveness of the security.It is argued that a system is most vulnerable after a potential vulnerability is discovered, but before a patch is created. By measuring the number of days between the vulnerability and when the vulnerability is fixed, a basis can be determined on the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Open Sound System (OSS) is an interface for making and capturing sound in Unix operating systems. It is based on standard Unix devices (i.e. POSIX read, write, ioctl, etc.). The term also refers sometimes to the software in a Unix kernel that provides the OSS interface; in that sense it can be thought of as a device driver or collection of device drivers for sound controller hardware. The goal of OSS is to allow one to write a sound-based application program that works with any sound controller hardware, even though the hardware interface varies greatly from one type to another.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In computing, open implementation platforms are systems where the implementation is accessible. Open implementation allows developers of a program to alter pieces of the underlying software to fit their specific needs. With this technique it is far easier to write general tools, though it makes the programs themselves more complex to design and use.There are also open language implementations, which make aspects of the language implementation accessible to application programmers.

The process of open coil annealing (OCA) is used to prepare steel sheet for further processing. The OCA process anneals and de-carbonizes the steel in preparation for shaping and finishing by original equipment manufacturers. The steel sheet that undergoes this process is used primarily in the appliance and automotive industries. Because of its use, the steel sheet must be highly formable and have good surface chemical properties. In OCA, a coil of steel is wound with two intertwined 0.035 inch wires between each sheet. The wires are used to space the wraps of the coil, thus creating an “open coil”. This spacing allows air flow along all of the surfaces of the steel coil. Annealing is done to soften the steel by relaxing the strain...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Operations security (OPSEC) is a process that identifies critical information to determine if friendly actions can be observed by adversary intelligence systems, determines if information obtained by adversaries could be interpreted to be useful to them, and then executes selected measures that eliminate or reduce adversary exploitation of friendly critical information. The underlying principles of denying an adversary information are centuries old. In fact, George Washington was quoted as saying: "Even minutiae should have a place in our collection, for things of a seemingly trifling nature, when enjoined with others of a more serious cast, may lead to valuable conclusion." Millennia before,...

Operation Yellow Ribbon was commenced by Transport Canada to handle the diversion of civilian airline flights in response to the September 11 attacks in 2001. Canada`s goal was to ensure that potentially destructive air traffic be removed from U.S. airspace as quickly as possible, and away from potential U.S. targets, and instead place these aircraft on the ground in Canada, mostly at military and civilian airports in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and British Columbia (and also several in New Brunswick, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec) where their destructive potential could be better contained and neutralized. As none of the aircraft proved to be a threat,...
This book presents a theoretical research framework that was used to analyse operational risk management practices in Australia. It provides a new perspective on how to use national and international operational management system standards as a basis for systematic management of operational risks. Based on the extensive literature review and an analysis of operational risk management practices that are common in Australian organisations, undertaken as part of a PhD study, this book identifies the critical success factors for implementing an operational risk management system. The framework proposed in this book should assist organisations to manage operational risks more effectively and could also be used as a model to research...

Operation Wunderland (German: Unternehmen Wunderland) was a large-scale operation undertaken in summer 1942 by the Kriegsmarine during the Second World War in the waters of the Northern Sea Route close to the Arctic Ocean. The Germans knew that many ships of the Soviet Navy had sought refuge in the Kara Sea because of the protection that its ice pack provided during ten months of the year. The naval operation to enter the Kara Sea during the summer thaw and destroy as many Russian vessels as possible was named "Operation Wunderland". Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Operating system advocacy is the practice of attempting to increase the awareness and improve the perception of a computer operating system. The motivation behind this may be to increase the number of users of a system, to assert the superiority of one choice over another or out of brand loyalty, pride in an operating system's abilities, or to persuade software vendors to port specific applications or device drivers to the platform. Operating system advocacy can vary widely in tone and form, from published comparisons to heated debates on mailing lists and other forums. In its most extreme forms it can veer into zealotry. Advocates are often normal users who devote their spare time to advocacy...
