Firmware



Origin of the term
Ascher Opler coined the term firmware in a 1967 Datamation article. Originally, it meant the contents of a writable control store (a small specialized high speed memory), containing microcode that defined and implemented the computer's instruction set, and that could be reloaded to specialize or modify the instructions that the central processing unit (CPU) could execute. As originally used, firmware contrasted with hardware (the CPU itself) and ....etc

Abstract
We introduce a new universal remote controller that gives easy-to-control interface for home devices such as TV, video/audio player, room lighting and temperature control. In order to use a conventional remote controller, one should study an instruction manual and remember function for each button. In addition, the remote controller does not provide an intuitive i ....etc

Abstract
Real-time interactive virtual classroom with teleeducation experience is an important approach in distance learning. However, most current systems fail to meet new challenges in extensibility and scalability, which mainly lie with three issues. First, an open system architecture is required to better support the integration of increasing human-computer interfaces and personal mobile devices in the classroom. Second, the learning system should facilitate opening its interfaces, which will help easy deployment that copes with dif ....etc

The World Wide Web Consortium has created an SGML working group to build a set of specifications that are easy and straightforward to use. The subset called XML has the advantages of SGML that is extensibility, structure, and validation in a language and is very easy to learn, use and implement than full SGML. XML is fully internationalized for both European and Asian languages, with all conforming processors required to support the Unicode character set in both its UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding. The language is designed for the quickest possible c ....etc

Extensible Firmware Interface
Abstract

A BIOS Alternative There has been rapid evolution of the personal computer platform since the 1980s. But there is one element of the PC that has not changed for the past years, namely the BIOS (basic input/output system). Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is the name for a system developed by Intel that is designed to replace the aging BIOS system used by personal computers. It is responsible for the power-on self-test (POST) process, bootstrapping the operating system, and providing an inter ....etc

eXtensible Bindings Language is used to declare the behavior and look of XUL widgets and XML elements. In XUL one defines the user interface layout of an application, and then (applying styles) can customize the look of elements. The drawback is that XUL provides no means to change an element's function. For example, one might want to change how the pieces of a scroll bar work. This is where XBL comes in.

An XBL file contains bindings. Each of them describes the behavior of a XUL widget or XML element. For example, a binding might be attach ....etc

Abstract
The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open technology for real-time communication, which powers a wide range of applications including instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data.
The technology pages provide more information about the various XMPP building blocks. The core technology behind XMPP was invented by Jeremie Miller in 1998, refined in the Jabber open- ....etc
