Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 An interface is a surface forming a common boundary among two different phase matter phases , such as an insoluble solid and a liquid , two immiscible liquids, a liquid and an insoluble gas or a liquid and vacuum . The importance of the interface depends on which type of system is being treated the bigger the quotient area volume, the more effect the surface phenomena will have. Therefore interfaces will be considered in systems with big area volume ratios, such as colloid s. Interfaces can be spherical or flat, so they can be considered to be always spherical with finite or infinite radius. For example oil droplets in a salad dressing are spherical but the interface between water and air in a glass of water is mostly flat. Surface tension is the function which rules interface processes. Interfaces may cause various optical phenomena , such as refraction . Lens optics Optical lenses serve as an example of a practical application of the interface between glass and air. One important interface is the gas liquid interface between aerosols and other atmospheric molecules.

Unreferenced date July 2007 Northbound and southbound interfaces relate to server computing computer servers . Definitions A northbound interface of a component is an interface computer science interface that conceptualizes the low level lower level details e.g., Data computing data or Function computer science functions used by, or in, the component. It is used to interface with high level higher level abstraction layer layers using the southbound interface of the higher level component s . In Computer architecture architectural overview the northbound interface is normally drawn at the top of the component it is defined in, hence the name northbound interface. A southbound interface decomposes concepts in the technical details, mostly specific to a single software component component of the architecture. Southbound interfaces are drawn at the bottom of an architectural overview. Northbound interfaces normally talk to southbound interfaces of higher level components and vice versa. Typical use These terms are generic in the sense that they are uniformly used over all layers of a computer application , i.e. independent of the fact that the computer system is about computer hardware hardware , GUI , middleware , etc. A northbound interface is typically an output only interface as opposed to one that accepts user input found in Carrier Grade Open Framework carrier grade network and telecommunications network elements. The programming language languages or protocol computing protocols commonly used include Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP and TL1 . For example, a device that is capable of sending out syslog messages but is not configurable by the user is said to implement a northbound interface. Other examples include Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware SMASH , IPMI , WSMAN SOAP etc. Category Network architecture Category Telecommunications ru ... more details

It was one of the most widely supported standards on the machine. The interface itself would be attached to the computer s rear expansion port with a single joystick port on the front or top of the system. It came out as the clear winner against other standards such as Protek s cursor based solution and the Fuller standard during the days of the 48K Spectrum. However, when Amstrad released the ZX Spectrum ZX Spectrum 2 ZX Spectrum 2 , the computer featured a built in joystick interface that was software compatible with Sinclair s ZX Interface 2 standard. Unfortunately, the bundled SJS 1 joystick was electrically incompatible with the Atari standard. The Interface 2 standard simulated keypresses on the numerical keys 1 5 and 6 0 being left, right, down, up, fire for the left and right joysticks respectively and hence were ideal for games with no official joystick support but in which the keys could be redefined. Problems had also been reported with the Kempston Interface breaking down on the newer models and it faded slowly into obscurity, although the option to use Kempston joysticks remained in games until the end of the computer s shelf life. hardware stub Category ZX Spectrum ru Kempston Interface ... more details

Multiple issues citation style May 2010 cleanup May 2010 The CAMIF , also the Camera Interface block is the hardware block that Interface computer science interfaces with different image sensor interfaces and provides a standard output that can be used for subsequent image processing . A typical Camera Interface would support at least a parallel interface although these days many camera interfaces are beginning to support the Mobile Industry Processor Interface MIPI CSI interface. The camera interface s parallel interface consists of the following lines 8 to 12 bits parallel data line These are parallel data lines that carry pixel data. The data transmitted on these lines change with every Pixel Clock PCLK . Horizontal Sync HSYNC This is a special signal that goes from the camera sensor or ISP to the camera interface. An HSYNC indicates that one line of the frame is transmitted. Vertical Sync VSYNC This signal is transmitted after the entire frame is transferred. This signal is often a way to indicate that one entire frame is transmitted. Pixel Clock PCLK This is the pixel clock and it would change on every pixel. NOTE The above lines are all treated as input lines to the Camera Interface hardware. Example Let us suppose that a sensor is transmitting a VGA frame 640x480. The video frame is of a format RGB888. Let s assume that we have a camera sensor transmitting 8 bits per pixel clock PCLK . This means to transfer one pixel of data, 3 PCLKs would be required. The HSYNC would be fired by the sensor after every 640 x 3, 1920 PCLKs. A VSYNC would be fired by the sensor after the entire frame is transmitted i.e. after 1920x480, 921600 PCLKs. The camera interface s hardware block that could be a part of any SOC would constantly monitor the above lines to see of the sensor has transmitted anything. A typical camera interface would come with some internal buffering and would ... programmed by the camera interface driver programmer . The camera interface s programmer interface ... more details
A Virtual Interface or Virtual Network Interface VIF is an abstract virtualized representation of a computer network interface that may or may not correspond directly to a physical network interface. There is some variation in usage of the term, with different groups using it to mean slightly different things. Usually context will clarify. Operating system level VIF It is common for the OS Kernel computer science kernel to maintain a table of virtual network interfaces in memory. This may allow the system to store and operate on such information independently of the physical interface involved or even whether it is a direct physical interface or for instance a tunnel or a bridged interface . It may also allow processes on the system to interact concerning network connections in a more granular fashion than simply to assume a single amorphous Internet of unknown capacity or performance . The late W. Richard Stevens , in volume 2 of his extensive treatise entitled TCP IP Illustrated , refers to the kernel s Virtual Interface Table in his discussion of multicast routing. For example, a IP Multicast Routing multicast router may operate differently on interfaces that represent tunnels than on physical interfaces e.g. it may only need to collect membership information for physical interfaces . Thus the virtual interface may need to divulge some specifics to the user, such as whether or not it represents a physical interface directly. ref name stevens citation author W.
