DEC Multinational Character Set
The Multinational Character Set (DMCS or MCS) is a character encoding created in 1983 by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for use in the popular VT220 terminal. It was an 8-bit extension of ASCII that added accented characters, currency symbols, and other character glyphs missing from 7-bit ASCII. It is only one of the code pages implemented for the VT220 National Replacement Character Set (NRCS). MCS is registered as IBM code page/CCSID 1100 (Multinational Emulation) since 1992. Depending on associated sorting Oracle calls it WE8DEC, N8DEC, DK8DEC, S8DEC, or SF8DEC. Such "extended ASCII" sets were common (the National Replacement Character Set provided sets for more than a dozen European languages), but MCS has the distinction of being the ancestor of ECMA-94 in 1985 and ISO 8859-1 in 1987. The code chart of MCS with ECMA-94, ISO 8859-1 and the first 256 code points of Unicode have many more similarities than differences. In addition to unused code points, differences from I ...

Des Moines Christian School
Des Moines Christian School is a private Christian school that opened in 1948 on the campus of First Federated Church in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. In 1980, the school moved to the former Franklin Junior High School building, and in 1983 added ninth grade. In 1988, the State of Iowa granted accreditation to grades 7 through 12 (the elementary had already been accredited). History Conception Des Moines Christian School was founded in June 1947 when forty-one people from various local churches in the greater Des Moines area gathered at the Des Moines YMCA to pray and consider establishing a private Christian school in the Des Moines area. It was decided to elect an evangelical school board, adopt a constitution, and formulate bylaws for a parent-inspired school. In 2006 the school moved to its current location in Urbandale, Iowa.

Submarine Communications Cable
A submarine communications cable is a cable laid on the seabed between land-based stations to carry telecommunication signals across stretches of ocean and sea. The first submarine communications cables were laid beginning in the 1850s and carried telegraphy traffic, establishing the first instant telecommunications links between continents, such as the first transatlantic telegraph cable which became operational on 16 August 1858. Submarine cables first connected all the world's continents (except Antarctica) when Java was connected to Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, in 1871 in anticipation of the completion of the Australian Overland Telegraph Line in 1872 connecting to Adelaide, South Australia and thence to the rest of Australia. Subsequent generations of cables carried telephone traffic, then data transmission, data communications traffic. These early cables used copper wires in their cores, but modern cables use optical fiber technology to carry digital data, whic ...

Chlorodimethylsilane
Chlorodimethylsilane, also called dimethylchlorosilane and abbreviated DMCS, is a chemical compound with the formula (CH3)2SiHCl. It is a silane, with a silicon atom bonded to two methyl groups, a chlorine atom, and a hydrogen atom. Its structure, including bond lengths and bond angles, has been determined using Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy Microwave spectroscopy is the spectroscopy method that employs microwaves, i.e. electromagnetic radiation at GHz frequencies, for the study of matter.

Deluxe Music Construction Set
''Deluxe Music Construction Set'' (''DMCS'') is a 1986 music composition, musical notation, and playback package for the Amiga and Macintosh. The program was originally released as '' Will Harvey's Music Construction Set'' for the Apple II and other computers, but was redesigned (and the Will Harvey name dropped) for the deluxe version. ''DMCS'' was created by Geoff Brown and published by Electronic Arts (EA). Ariolasoft published the program in Europe under license from EA. Summary ''DMCS'' was the first of a line of music programs for the Amiga to make use of its four voice 8-bit sample playback and MIDI synthesis. ''DMCS'' is more advanced than the first music application that EA made for the Commodore 64, Apple II, Atari 8-bit computers, and Atari ST, ''Music Construction Set''. For example, it allows users to enter lyrics in with the musical score, though the lyrics are strictly for the user's benefit. Bach's Fugue in G minor, BWV 578, Fugue in G minor "Little" is includ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
