A device, accessible to one or more input circuits, that accepts and stores data. Note: A register is usually used only as a device for temporary storage of data. 2. A temporary-memory device used to receive, hold, and transfer data (usually a computer word) to be operated upon by a processing unit. Note: Computers typically contain a variety of registers. General purpose registers may perform many functions, such as holding constants or accumulating arithmetic results. Special purpose registers perform special functions, such as holding the instruction being executed, the address of a storage location, or data being retrieved from or sent to storage.

A device, such as a metal key or smart card, used for identity authentication. 2. A Smart card, metal key, or other physical object used to authenticate identity.
Industry:Telecommunications
A device's or resource's numerical address as expressed in the format specified in the Internet Protocol. Note 1: In the current addressing format, IP version 4 (IPv4,) an IP address is a 32-bit sequence divided into four groups of decimal numbers separated by periods ("dots",) commonly referred to as "dotted decimals. " The IP address of a device is made up of two parts: the number of the network to which it is connected, and a sequence representing the specific device within that network. An IP address may be used on private intranets, as well as The Internet. Note 2: Due to inefficiencies that have arisen in address assignment, available IPv4 addresses are nearly exhausted. A newer version of IP addressing (IP version 6, consisting of a 128-bit numerical sequence) is currently being developed. Synonyms Internet address, IP number.

A diagram of a system, a computer, or a device in which the principal parts are represented by suitably annotated geometrical figures to show both the basic functions of the parts and their functional relationships.
Industry:Telecommunications
A diagram that shows the area within which a radio station is broadcasting an effective signal strength in relation to a given standard. Note: An example of a radio-coverage diagram is a polar plot, in each direction from the antenna, of the distance from the antenna at which the signal strength is equal to a specified value, i.e., it is the locus of all points at which the signal strength is equal to a specified value.
Industry:Telecommunications
A diagram, drawing, or sketch that details the elements of a system, such as the elements of an electrical circuit or the elements of a logic diagram for a computer or communications system. 2. Pertaining to a diagram, drawing, or sketch that details the elements of a system, such as the elements of an electrical circuit or the elements of a logic diagram for a computer or communications system.
