Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 In computer programming , an input kludge is type of failure in computer software software an anti pattern where simple user input is not handled. For example, if a computer program accepts free text input from the user, an ad hoc algorithm will mishandle many combinations of legal and illegal input strings. Input kludges are usually difficult for a programmer to detect in a unit test , but very easy for the end user to find. The evidence exists that the end user can easily crash computing crash software that fails to correctly handle user input. Indeed, the buffer overflow security hole is an example of the problems caused. To remedy input kludges, one may use data validation input validation algorithms to handle user input. A monkey test can be used to detect an input kludge problem. A common first test to discover this problem is to roll one s hand across the computer keyboard or to mash the keyboard to produce a large junk input, but such an action often lacks reproducibility . Greater systematicity and reproducibility may be obtained by using fuzz testing software.

Unreferenced date October 2007 Input capture is a method of dealing with input signals in an embedded system . Embedded systems using input capture will record a timestamp in memory when an input signal is received. It will also set a flag indicating that an input has been captured. This allows the system to continue executing without interruption while an input is being received while still having the capability to trigger events based on the exact time when the input was received. The corresponding capability to trigger an output at a specified time, based on a timestamp in memory, is called output compare . There are many programmable interrupt controller s that provide dedicated input capture pins and a programmable counter along with it. These pins generate interrupts to the controller, which then executes an interrupt service routine . The interrupts can be programmed to occur at the rising or falling edge of the input signal, depending on requirements.

In computer programming, an input mask refers to a string expression, defined by a developer, that governs what a user is allowed to enter in as input in a text box. It can be said to be a template, or set format that entered data must conform to, mainly used for the purposes of data integrity by preventing transcription error s. The syntax of this string expression differs from implementation to implementation, but the fundamental input types are all supported. Some frequent uses of input masks include entry of telephone numbers, ZIP or postal codes, times and dates. e.g. When entering into a text box a phone number on a data capture form, in the format 11111 111111 the area code brackets, the space between the number and the area code will automatically be placed in. Generally speaking, an input mask is a user generated set of rules, so if say only allows 45 characters, then the entry must stay up to or within 45 character, they cannot exceed this rules. This kind of string is useful in finding reports and healthcare files. An example would be LL00 00L this in detail shows what should be included.

unreferenced date January 2007 Delimiterless input is a special feature of some mini and all micro computers in which the computer can recognize and act upon a single character or keypress without requiring use of a transmit or send key. Older mini and mainframe computers generally operated on a line at a time or screen at a time basis. The line was sent to the computer by pressing the return, enter, send or transmit key, depending on what the key was called. Editing of the typed in line was done on the screen via the delete or backspace key, and the entire line was transmitted to the computer when the send key was pressed. Mainframe computers such as IBM s System 370 370 and the System 38 used terminals such as the IBM 3270 which transmitted an entire screen of information all at once as opposed to a line at a time. Mini and mainframe computers tended to serve many users at one time, and using line at a time or screen at a time input is more efficient for the computer. Most of the activity of a user of one of these machines is either reading output sent to them or waiting for input to be sent back to the running program, and thus other users could be served while the specific user was composing input. Terminals connected to these machines had limited editing capability, and thus were sometimes referred to as dumb terminal s. Minicomputers such as the PDP 11 , and microcomputers personal computers such as the TRS 80 , Apple II and IBM PC were able to implement delimiterless input as part of their design specification. Microcomputers, generally having only one user connected to them, could afford to support the less efficient delimiterless input capability as keyboard input could be handled by less expensive circuitry than that used on more expensive machines. This would then lead to the development of much more powerful computer game games for personal computers. While ..., to either operate on line at a time or screen at a time input.

It was composed of 52 weekly editions which introduced several parallel themes such as computer graphics , word processing , Computer aided design CAD , video games games etc in each edition. These themes then were slowly developed with each new edition into BASIC and assembly language programs. The resulting programs were intended to run on a selection of the most popular home computers in the UK at the time the Sinclair ZX Spectrum , Commodore 64 , BBC Micro , Acorn Electron and Dragon 32 . A subset of the programs were also suitable for the Sinclair ZX81 , Commodore VIC 20 and Tandy TRS 80 Color Computer . The magazine was well known among hobbyists using these early computer architectures, since it provided a useful source of interesting programs in a wide range of themes. As was usually the case in home computer magazines of the era, the programs were Type in program listed in the pages of the magazine , and readers had to type them manually into their computers. The magazine was published in other countries, such as Brazil . Sections Each magazine had various colour coded sections which denoted the main subject of the article.

Input Shaping is a control technique for reducing vibrations in computer controlled machines. The method works by creating a command signal that cancels its own vibration. That is, vibration caused by the first part of the command signal is canceled by vibration caused by the second part of the command. Input shaping is implemented by convolving a sequence of impulses, an input shaper, with any desired command. The shaped command that results from the convolution is then used to drive the system. If the impulses in the shaper are chosen correctly, then the system will respond without vibration to any unshaped command. The amplitude s and time locations of the impulses are obtained from the system s natural frequencies and damping ratios. Shaping can be made very robust to errors in the system parameters. ref citebook title Flexible Robot Dynamics and Controls author Rush D. Robinett, Rush D. Robinett III, John Feddema, G.

Wikify date May 2010 Input enhancement is a concept in second language acquisition , coined by Mike Sharwood Smith , that is commonly used to signal methods that an instructor uses to make selected features of a second language more salient for learners in such a way as to facilitate acquisition Sharwood Smith 1991, 1993 . It may be contrasted with similar but not identical to concepts such as motherese or teacher talk where the main aim is to make the language comprehensible and where acquisition is not necessarily intended or is at least not the primary motive. It includes, but is not limited to a number of techniques such as avoiding vowel reduction typical of rapid or casual speech in some languages, simply slowing down the rate of speech, using exaggerated stress and intonation, more repetition of words and phrases, less pre verbal modification and more post verbal modification, use of gestures, visual enhancment in written text such as boldface and underlining, and the use of video. It also includes explicit, more traditional techniques drawing the learner s attention more overtly to how the language system works by discussing particular aspects of grammar and usage. Sharwood Smith distinguishes between external input enhancement , as illustrated above, and internal input enhancement where particular aspects of the target language become salient at a given stage simply as a result of some natural developmental process outside the learner s control and not because of outside intervention. Input enhancement was a term designed to replace the term grammatical consciousness raising CR Sharwood Smith 1981, Rutherford and Sharwood Smith 1985 since the newer term did not necessarily imply that any changes in the mind of the learner would necessarily result from any changes ...

If the source provides known voltage and current, such impedance can be calculated using Ohm s Law . The input impedance is the Th venin s theorem Th venin s equivalent circuit of the electrical network, modeled by an RL resistor inductor or an RC resistor capacitor combination, with equivalent values that would result in the same response as that of the network. It is also called Z11 in terms of Z parameters . Generally speaking, the exact definition depends on the particular field of study. Image Source and load circuit Z.png frame Simple source and load circuit Z sub S sub is the output impedance seen by the load, and Z sub L sub is the input impedance seen by the source .
