An archive of the headers from the wapp pulsar files is made each month. ... When starting an observation, the 4 wapps are told to configure themselves and then start taking data on the next hardware 1 second tick. The start time for each wapp is stored in the header for that wapps datafile. ... The question is whether the start time in the header is the real start time (one or more wapps started late) or all of the wapps started together and the time in the header is wrong. ...

Perhaps the greatest theoretical achievement of physics in the 19th century was the discovery of electromagnetic waves. ... It is possible to use this to define a unit of electric charge, as the charge which repels a similar charge at a distance of, say, 1 meter, with a force of unit strength (actual formulas make this precise). ... But "field" originally only meant the force a magnet or an electric charge could expect at a point in space, if it were placed there. ...

The ICC receives commands, issue replies and writes data to disk. ... Commands . ... Replies . ... The hub receives commands from commanders (e.g. TUI users) and routes them to actors (e.g. instruments). ... When a user sends a command to your instrument, the other users basically don't know about it until they see the resulting replies. ...

Underdetermined sets is a new type of data structures (terms) developed in Actor Prolog . ... The point is that an underdetermined set can include some indefinite rest (a tail) like a list in usual Prolog . At the same time, the order of elements of an underdetermined set can be arbitrary one and it does not affect results of unification of underdetermined sets. Moreover, Actor Prolog guarantees that a rest of an underdetermined set never contains elements that are explicitly given in the set. ...

... This relieves the rest of the computer from knowing how to use the drive, since the controllers for different types of disks can be made to use the same interface towards the rest of the computer. ... Usually the number of sectors is the same for all tracks, but some hard disks put more sectors in outer tracks (all sectors are of the same physical size, so more of them fit in the longer outer tracks). ... For example, a hard disk might have 8 heads, 2048 tracks, and 35 sectors per track . ...

One could then define the unit of current, as the current which, when flowing in a straight wire, attracts a similar current in a parallel wire 1 meter away with a force of unit strength, for every meter of the wires' length. ... Faraday also showed that a magnetic field which varied in time--like the one produced by an alternating current (AC)--could drive electric currents, if (say) copper wires were placed in it in the appropriate way. ...
