otheruses Image 25 Pin D sub pinout.svg thumb LPT pinout LPT Line Print Terminal is the original, and still common, name of the parallel port interface on PC compatible IBM PC compatible computer s. It was designed to operate a text computer printer printer that used IBM s 8 bit extended ASCII character set . The name derives from the fact that line printer was a common generic term at the time for any type of text printer. Graphical printers, along with a host of other devices, have been designed to communicate with the system. It was a de facto industry standard for many years, and was finally standardized as IEEE 1284 in the late 1990s. Today, the parallel port interface is seeing decreasing use because of the rise of Universal Serial Bus USB and FireWire IEEE 1394 devices along with network printing using Ethernet . History Most PC compatible systems in the 1980s and 1990s had one or two ports, with communication interfaces defined like this LPT1 I O port 0x378, IRQ 7 usually in monochrome graphics adapters, dedicated IO cards in color systems, or using a controller built into the mainboard LPT2 I O port 0x278, IRQ 5 usually in serial port controller, or the stand alone IBM Printer adapter Some systems also had an LPT3 port, but this was less consistently defined, generally sharing the LPT1 interrupt despite having its own IO address ie only one could be used at a time .

SkyFuel is a designer and provider of thermal concentrating solar power CSP equipment for utility scale power generation and industrial applications of steam. Energy from thermal CSP plants can be stored for later use and deliver electricity matched to the load profile of the utility company. SkyFuel has two commercially available products a parabolic trough concentrating solar collector the SkyTrough and a high reflectance silverized polymer film http www.reflectechsolar.com ReflecTech . The SkyTrough is the first utility scale solar concentrator to use polymer reflectors rather than glass mirrors. The use of the polymer mirror allows the reflector to be made as one continuous large panel, which is lighter than glass mirrors and therefore the support frame can also be lighter. The SkyTrough system can be deployed in a stand alone configuration for utility scale electricity generation. It can also be integrated with fossil fuel power plants, such as natural gas fired combined cycle power plants, to augment or displace some of the host plant s steam production or, in the case of traditional coal plants, to provide feed water heating. SkyTrough systems are also ideally suited for industrial process heat applications and sea water desalination. SkyFuel is also developing next generation, high temperature parabolic trough and linear Fresnel systems. ref http www.skyfuel.com Skyfuel ref Grants and innovations The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded SkyFuel a 435,000 grant to develop its Linear Power Tower LPT system for utility scale solar thermal power plants.

Titanium aluminide , Titanium Ti Aluminium Al , is an intermetallics intermetallic chemical compound . It is lightweight and resistant to oxidation and heat, however it suffers from low ductility . The density of phase transformations in solids gamma TiAl is about 4.0 g cm . It finds use in several applications including automobiles and aircraft. The development of TiAl based alloys began about 1970 however the alloys have only been used in these applications since about 2000. Titanium aluminide has three major intermetallic compounds gamma TiAl, alpha 2 Ti sub 3 sub Al and TiAl sub 3 sub . Among the three, gamma TiAl has received the most interest and applications. Gamma TiAl has excellent mechanical properties and oxidation and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures over 600 degrees Celsius , which makes it a possible replacement for traditional Ni based superalloy components in aircraft turbine engines. TiAl based alloys have a strong potential to increase the thrust to weight ratio in the aircraft engine. This is especially the case with the engine s low pressure turbine blades and the high pressure compressor blades. These are traditionally made up of Ni based superalloy, which is nearly twice as dense as TiAl based alloys. General Electric has recently announced that gamma TiAl low pressure turbine blades will be used on its General Electric GEnx GEnx engine, which powers the Boeing 787 and Boeing 747 8 aircraft. This is the first large scale use of this material on a commercial jet engine. The TiAl LPT blades are cast by Precision Castparts Corp. and it Avio azienda Avio s.p.a.

COM is the original, yet still common, name of the serial port interface on PC compatible IBM PC compatible computer s. It might not only refer to physical ports, but also to virtual ports, such as ports created by bluetooth or USB to Serial adapters. Most PC compatible systems in the 1980s and 1990s had one or two ports, with communication interfaces defined like this COM1 I O port 0x3F8, Interrupt request IRQ 4 COM2 I O port 0x2F8, IRQ 3 COM3 I O port 0x3E8, IRQ 4 COM4 I O port 0x2E8, IRQ 3 As of 2007, most systems ship with one or no physical COM ports. I O addresses The COM ports are interfaced by an integrated circuit such as 16550 UART . This IC has seven internal 8 bit Hardware register registers which hold information and configuration data about which data is to be sent or was received, the baud rate , interrupt configuration and more. In the case of COM1, these registers can be accessed by writing to or reading from the Memory mapped I O I O address es 0x3F8 to 0x3FF. If the CPU, for example, wants to send information out on COM1, it writes to I O port 0x3F8, as this I O port is connected to the UART IC register which holds the information that is to be sent out.

A web service protocol stack is a protocol stack a stack of computer networking protocol computing protocol s that is used to define, locate, implement, and make Web services interact with each other. A Web service protocol stack typically stacks four protocols Service Transport Protocol responsible for transporting messages between network applications and includes protocols such as HTTP , SMTP , File Transfer Protocol FTP , as well as the more recent BEEP Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol BEEP . XML Messaging Protocol responsible for encoding messages in a common XML format so that they can be understood at either end of a network connection. Currently, this area includes such protocols as XML RPC , WS Addressing , and SOAP protocol SOAP . Service Description Protocol used for describing the public interface to a specific Web service. The Web Services Description Language WSDL interface format is typically used for this purpose. Service Discovery Protocol centralizes services into a common registry such that network Web services can publish their location and description, and makes it easy to discover what services are available on the network.
