It was designed for particle physics experiments using Computer Automated Measurement and Control CAMAC and VMEbus hardware. Description MIDAS Maximum Integration Data Acquisition System has been developed as a general purpose data acquisition system for small and medium scale experiments originally by Stefan Ritt in 1993, followed by Pierre Andr Amaudruz in 1996. It is written in C programming language C and published under the GPL . The experiment complexity ranges from test systems, where a single PC is connected to CAMAC via a PC CAMAC interface, to experiments with several front end computers and analysis nodes. The system currently runs under Linux , MS Windows , various versions of UNIX, OpenVMS VMS , VxWorks and MS DOS and can be ported easily to virtually any operating system which supports Internet socket TCP IP sockets . A speed optimized RPC layer is used for data exchange, with which sustained data rates of 980kB s 10BaseT , 8.7 MB s 100BaseT and up to 98MB s Gigabit Ethernet 1000BaseT . An integrated slow control system contains a fast online database and a history system. Drivers exist for CAMAC, VME, Fastbus, High Voltage Crates, GBIB and several PC plug in DAQ boards.

merge to Language acquisition discuss Talk Speech acquisition Proposed merge date January 2012 Speech acquisition or early language acquisition focuses on the development of spoken language by a child. While grammatical and syntactic learning can be seen as a part of language acquisition , speech acquisition focuses on the development of speech perception and speech production over the first years of lifetime. Development of speech perception Sensory learning concerning acoustic speech signals already starts during pregnancy. The newborn is already capable of discerning many phonetic contrasts. This capability may be innate. Speech perception becomes language specific for vowels at around 6 months, for sound combinations at around 9 months and for language specific consonants at around 11 months. ref Kuhl PK 2004 Early language acquisition cracking the speech code.

Unreferenced date May 2007 Business acquisition is the process of acquiring a company to build on strengths or weaknesses of the acquiring company. A merger is similar to an acquisition but refers more strictly to combining all of the interests of both companies in to a stronger single company. The end result is to grow the business in a quicker and more profitable manner than normal organic growth would allow. Process The process begins with defining the type of business that would make a good acquisition. Generally businesses within the same segment or a highly complementary market segment are targeted. Once defined the target business is approached and if interest is shown due diligence is performed to ascertain the financial condition of the business. When the financial terms are agreed upon, and the contract is signed the merger portion of the acquisition begins. Overlapping processes, personnel and products are evaluated and the better performing pieces are retained, while the Single business acquisitions and split and sell A single acquisition refers to one company buying the assets and operations of another company and absorbing what is needed while simply discarding duplicated or unnecessary pieces of the acquired business. Split and sell acquisitions involve buying an entire business in order to gain one or two pieces of the business. The acquiring business may wish to retain the customer list and a product line, while moving manufacturing and other production related duties to an existing line. In this case the excess is often sold off to recapture some of the acquisition cost.. Affiliate acquisitions Businesses that use affiliates to sell and market their products may find themselves in the position of losing control of the marketing portion. This presents a danger as the entire business cycle is dependent on the sales cycle , which is now external to the business ...
