NMEA is an organization that was formed to set a standard among marine hardware manufactures such that all the devices could seamlessly communicate and interact with each other. The NMEA-0183 standard provides a standard messaging protocol that includes many GPS sentences. Since marine navigation was one of the first adopters of GPS technology, GPS manufactures would output the NMEA sentences from their devices for communication and aiding control of the boats autopilot system.

W3C compliant means that the web site has been designed and coded to meet W3C's standards and has passed their validation. We strive to meet these standards when we design your site. See similar questions...

The product will not terminate unexpectedly on January 1, 2000 or on February 29, 2000 due to incorrect date manipulation. Functions that use date ranges including dates on either side of these two dates will work as expected. Functions that accept date parameters using a 2-digit year format will make an appropriate assumption about the 4-digit year represented. Not necessarily. It uses 4-digit years for all the user-friendly displays, inside log files, etc. See similar questions...

You must use this mode for everything that contains binary data as pictures and other files that are not text only. This mode is preset at www2ftp. This mode is used for transferring text files. If the server is running on Unix you must use this mode for text files as the line endings are different. The ASCII-mode will convert the line endings to unix line endings removing the "CR" from the file. See similar questions...

The acronym stands for "National Marine Electronics Association" and is again an industry association that sets data transmission standards. In this case, the real name is NMEA 180. It is a set of standard messages defining the possible outputs of a GPS receiver. There are several "sentences" available; each of which has some unique data associated with them. They are all in ASCII format and are in the form of comma delimited strings. See similar questions...

This is not always true. Many of Mini-Circuits' models were RoHS compliant before the EU requirement was established. These models were named before the policy to use the + suffix as an identifier was instituted. We are working hard to unify the part numbering system and many of these parts have already been renamed using the + suffix. Because we have so many model families, not all have been changed yet. We appreciate your patience. C) Process See similar questions...

It simply means that your driver may not work (or compile) in later releases. Functions and structures not documented in the DDI/DKI are subject to change/removal at any time. See similar questions...

A DOM-compliant document model is one that responds to all the DOM API calls with the results documented in a specific Level of the DOM Recommendation. You are not required to implement the optional modules (XML, HTML, Stylesheet, CSS, Traversal, Ranges, Events or the specific event sets) in order to claim compliance, but if your DOM does not completely implement these it should respond "false" to the relevant hasFeature queries.

Compliance means products that are called USB products are really built to match the description in the USB specification. This is important to a customer because if all products match the spec perfectly they would by definition work together perfectly. The world is not perfect and so compliance testing exists to help manufacturers measure how well their products match the specification. See similar questions...

A standards-compliant website is one that adheres to specific rules and standards in order to create the greatest level of accessibility possible to everyone. A standards-compliant website separates the actual site content from the site style and design, which ultimately makes your website perform better in search engines, as well as making it much more easily accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities.

Technically speaking, video bitstreams consisting entirely of I-frames are syntactically compliant with the MPEG specification. The I-frame sequence simply utilizes a rather limited subset of the full syntax. Compliant bitstreams must obey the range limits (e.g. motion vectors ranges, bit rates, frame rates, buffer sizes) and permitted syntax elements in the bitstream (e.g. chroma_format, B-pictures, etc). Decoders, however, must be able to decode all combinations of legal bitstreams. See similar questions...

It means that the sampled horizontal range of the signal is a bit wider than the actual active image frame: On 625/50 systems, only the centermost 702×576 pixels (of 720×576) belong to the actual 4:3 (or anamorphic 16:9) frame. On 525/59.94 systems, only the centermost 710.85×486 pixels (of 720×486) belong to the actual 4:3 (or anamorphic 16:9) frame. (For practical video applications, 710.85 will have to be rounded up to 711 pixels.) Yes, you understood correctly. See similar questions...

Yes. Directive 2002/95/EC, Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS), does apply to Micron's semiconductor products. The purpose of this directive is to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and protect human health and the environment. See similar questions...

MT-NW 3.1 does not support yEnc, even via external decoders. The main issue here is that yEnc-encoded messages contain non-ASCII characters that MT-NW 3.1 strips out when saving the messages to disk. An ugly workaround is to use the 'Export' command, but then you have to drag the saved file onto a helper app manually. MT-NW 3.2 (on OS X) does support decoding of yEnc posts (but not posting of yEnc). See similar questions...

Well apparently it has to do with something called gene expression, which refers to the pattern in which genes are switched on and off. And gene expression has a major effect on your body's biological processes. Each cell in your body contains a 'power-factory' that produces energy, called the mitochondria. See similar questions...
