Primary date May 2010 Device independence is the process of making a software application be able to function on a wide variety of devices regardless of the local hardware on which the software is used. Desktop computing In the early days of computer design and development up until about 1980, software was typically specifically written to operate on the specific hardware where the software was used. The software was intimately linked to the hardware, and could not function independent of it. As computers became less expensive generalized personal computer s, the concept of peripheral device s was introduced, where the base hardware could have a variety of different accessory devices from different manufacturers. At first, software which was to use this accessory hardware was required to be specifically designed to support it. In the time of MS DOS , game programmers typically had to write custom control software for each type of sound card or video card that might be installed in the user s computer. The need to provide custom support for so many devices consumed a considerable amount of time for software development. Eventually hardware abstraction layer s HAL such as DirectX were ... format required for each device, using device driver s typically provided by the hardware ... brought about the development of the hypervisor and device Hardware virtualization virtualization ... device.

Orphan date February 2009 Device Bay was a standard jointly developed by Compaq , Intel and Microsoft in 1997, as a simple way to add, remove, and share hardware devices. Originally intended to be introduced in the second half of 1998, Device Bay was never finalized and has long since been abandoned. The official website disappeared in mid 2001. Making use of new technologies at the time, such as USB and Firewire, Device Bay was intended to make adding and removing devices from the PC easier, through the use of plug n play. It allowed peripherals such as hard drives, CD DVD ROM drives, audio devices, and modems, to be added to the PC without having to open the case or even turn the PC off. Devices could also be removed from the PC while it was still turned on this could also be done through software in the operating system. Another advantage of Device Bay was that it allowed certain devices to be swapped between a desktop and laptop computer.

File Brannock uspat1725334 fig1.png thumb right Brannock Device from US Patent,1 724,244 The Brannock Device is a measuring instrument invented by Charles F. Brannock for measuring a person s shoe size . The son of a shoe industry entrepreneur, Brannock attended Syracuse University , New York , United States U.S.A. where he became a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. Brannock spent two years developing a simple means of measuring the length, width and arc length of the human foot . He eventually improved on the wooden RITZ Stick, the industry standard of the day, and patented his first prototype in 1926. The device has both left and right heel cups and is rotated through 180 degrees to measure the second foot. Brannock later formed the Brannock Device Company to manufacture and sell the product, and headed the company until 1992 when he died at age 89. Today, the Brannock Device is an international standard of the footwear industry, and the Smithsonian Institution houses samples of some of the first Brannock Devices. The Brannock Device Company was headquartered in Syracuse, New York , until shortly after Charles Brannock s death. Salvatore Leonardi purchased the company from the Brannock Estate in 1993, and moved manufacturing to a small factory in Liverpool, New York . The company continues to manufacture several models of the device for determining the shoe sizes of men, women, and children they also produce specialized models for fitting other types of footwear.

In computing , specifically Unix like operating systems, a raw device is a special kind of block device file that allows accessing a storage device such as a hard drive directly, bypassing the operating system s caches and buffers although the hardware caches might still be used . Applications like a Database management system can use raw devices directly, enabling them to manage how data is cached, rather than deferring this task to the operating system. On FreeBSD, all block devices are in fact raw devices. Support for non raw devices was removed in FreeBSD 4.0 in order to simplify buffer management and increase scalability and performance. On Linux raw devices were deprecated and scheduled for removal at one point, because the O DIRECT flag can be used instead ref http lkml.org lkml 2007 2 16 431 ref . However, later the decision was made to keep raw devices support since some software cannot use the O DIRECT flag ref http lkml.org lkml 2007 5 13 92 ref . Raw devices simply open block devices as if the O DIRECT flag would have been specified. Raw devices are character devices major number 162 . The first minor number i.e. 0 is reserved as a control interface and is usually found at dev rawctl. A utility called raw ref http manpages.debian.net cgi bin man.cgi?query raw man raw ref can be used to bind a raw device to an existing block device.
