The FOCUS architecture Focus CPU, Focus I O processor IOP , Focus memory controller MMU , 16Kx8 dynamic RAM, and a timer was used in the Hewlett Packard HP 9000 HP 9000 Series 500 workstations and servers originally launched as the HP 9020 and also, unofficially, called HP 9000 Series 600 . It was a call stack stack architecture, with over 220 instructions some 32 bits wide, some 16 bits wide , a segmented memory model, and no general purpose programmer visible Processor register registers . The design of the FOCUS CPU was richly inspired by the custom silicon on sapphire SOS chip design, HP used in their 16 bit HP 3000 series machines. Because of the high density of HP s NMOS III IC process, heat dissipation was a problem. Therefore the chips were mounted on special printed circuit board s, with a 1 mm copper sheet at its core, called finstrates .

Refimprove date December 2009 Scale focus , or zone focus , is a type of focusing system used by many inexpensive camera s from the 1940s and 1950s. These cameras have an adjustable focus, but lack a focusing aid such as a rangefinder . It is necessary to determine the distance to the subject and set the focus using a scale printed on the lens. If you are good at estimating distances, or have a tape measure at hand, you can get precise, sharp focus with one of these cameras. Technique File Lens aperture side.jpg thumb Zone focusing fixes a depth of field , which can be read off of the DOF scale on the focus ring, as shown here DOF is 1 meter to 2 meters, with aperture f 11 and focal plane at 1.4 meters. Today the term zone focus is used, particularly in North America, to the technique of setting a fixed focal distance turning off autofocus , and often fixed aperture, hence fixing the depth of field , and then taking photographs at that distance the DOF can be read off of the DOF scale on the focus ring , hence the term zone .
