Array - in Technology

In Technology

Various arrangements of multiple individual components to create a single system, such as:

  • An antenna array, such as a phased array, a tower array, etc.
  • A speaker array, used to produce directional Sound
  • Asynchronous array of simple processors
  • Ball grid array, pin grid array, and land grid array, ways to connect integrated circuits
  • Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP)
  • Color filter array, placed over an imaging array
  • Disk array, such as the RAID
  • Field emitter array, an electron source
  • Gate array, including a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)
  • Halbach array, an arrangement of magnets
  • Linear diode array used in image scanners
  • Microphone array, such as a line array
  • Microelectronic array for biological monitoring
  • Parametric array of transducers
  • Phased-array optics
  • Photovoltaic array
  • Processor array (not to be confused with an array processor)
  • Programmable Array Logic (PAL), a systematic way to implement boolean functions.
  • Reconfigurable datapath array, a flexible data processing architecture
  • Staring array, an imaging sensor
  • Systolic array, a hardware architecture
  • Towed array sonar
  • Wi-Fi array, a wireless networking device
  • Video Graphics Array (VGA), a display adapter and video format, and many variants thereof (EVGA, FWVGA, QVGA, QXGA, SVGA, SXGA, SXGA+, TXGA, UVGA, XGA, XGA+, ...)
  • ICL Distributed Array Processor, an array processor for the ICL

and also

  • Array gain, a telecommunications parameter
  • Array processing of multichannel signals (not to be confused with array programming)

Famous quotes containing the word technology:

    Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

    If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.
    Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
