Unit 7: Appendix
GLOSSARY
Key | The button on a panel that may be pressed to send an electrical signal to influence a | |
predetermined activity. | ||
| ||
Keyed | A physical object shaped in a manner so as to prevent unwanted movement or to ensure | |
desired movement. | ||
| ||
Kg | (Kilogram) A unit of weight measure within the metric system. | |
Used to describe data transfer rates or storage capacity of approximately 1000 bytes. | ||
Knob | A rounded handle to facilitate the manual opening, closing, securing, or otherwise movement | |
of the object to which it is attached. | ||
| ||
Knurled | An item that has recessed grooves or elevated areas on its surface to increase manual grip. | |
Label | Print media that has been used or printed upon that has adhesive on one side. | |
| (Local Area Network) A computer network limited to the immediate area, consequently | |
LAN Interface | capable of transmitting data at a very fast rate. Usually the computer is limited to the same | |
| building, or floor of a building, as the periphery device. | |
Latch | An object that is designed to be moved from one position to another for the purpose of | |
preventing or allowing the opening of another object. | ||
| ||
Lateral | Movement to the left or to the right - horizontal movement. | |
| (Liquid Crystal Display) A display technology involving optical glass panels whose opacity can | |
| be controlled by electrical signals. A liquid crystal surface is sandwiched between two | |
LCD | polarizing panels and when voltage is applied to certain areas, the crystal darkens. A light | |
| source behind the panel transmits through the transparent crystals and is mostly blocked by | |
| the darkened ones. | |
| (Light Emitting Diode) A semiconductor light source that emits visible light or invisible infrared | |
LED | radiation. The color of the emitted light depends on the chemical composition of the | |
| semiconducting material used. | |
Lever | An object that turns on a fixed point usually to engage or disengage a latch. | |
Laminate | A film or sheet placed onto and adhered flatly over another material. | |
Life | Relative to RFID, the functional period within which maintenance, adjustment, and repair is not | |
reasonably expected. | ||
| ||
Linear | The measurement of length without consideration of other dimensions. | |
Linerless Media | Print media that does not have a space between each label as does the | |
type media. This media is continuous and is divided based on printer programming. | ||
| ||
Link | An active connection to another document, graphic, or address. By selecting the designated | |
button, text, graphic, or screen location; one is taken to the predetermined linked location. | ||
| ||
M | (Meter) A unit of measure in the metric system equal to 39.37 inches. | |
MB | (Megabytes) Used to describe data transfer rates or storage capacity of approximately 1 | |
million bytes depending on the manner of compression. | ||
| ||
MM | (Millimeter) A unit of measure in the metric system equal to 0.03937 (1/25) inches. | |
Media | In printing, a batch of unprinted labels or tags. | |
Megabytes | Used to describe data transfer rates or storage capacity of approximately 1 million bytes | |
depending on the manner of compression. | ||
| ||
Menu | A display of items that may be chosen. | |
Meter | A unit of measure in the metric system equal to 39.37 inches. | |
Millimeter | A unit of measure in the metric system equal to 0.03937 (1/25) inches. | |
Module | A | |
Multimeter | A device that is used to measure output units relating to electrical current. | |
Memory Card | Relative to RFID, a read/write or reprogrammable tag in credit card size. | |
Memory Modules | A read/write or reprogrammable RFID tag. | |
Mobile Inventory Vehicle | In RFID, a vehicle equipped with a system for locating tagged vehicles, containers, and other | |
objects for the purpose of inventory control. | ||
