For documentation sets, a location within an HTML file. When loading the documentation node’s landing page, Xcode scrolls to the location of this anchor. See also documentation node.
Industry:Software; Computer
To bring a running application to the front of the screen, allowing the user to interact with it. Compare launch.
Industry:Software; Computer
A kernel resource that triggers an event at a specified interval. The event can occur only once or can be recurring. Timers are one of the input sources for run loops. Timers are also implemented at higher levels of the system, such as CFTimer in Core Foundation and NSTimer in Cocoa.
Industry:Software; Computer
Direct memory access. A capability of some bus architectures that enables a bus controller to transfer data directly between a device (such as a disk drive) and a device with physically addressable memory, such as that on a computer’s motherboard. The microprocessor is freed from involvement with the data transfer, thus speeding up overall computer operation. See also bus master.

(1) A pattern or model designed to guide development in accordance with a specific predefined format or structure. (2) In Xcode, a structured set of default resources (files, folders, frameworks, and so forth) necessary for a specific type of programming project. (2) In Quartz Composer, a composition file that contains a basic set of patches for a particular purpose. (3) In a WebObjects component, a file containing HTML that specifies the overall appearance of a Web page generated from the component.

(1) In electronics, the amount of opposition a circuit presents to an AC (alternating current) signal at a given frequency. Impedance includes both a resistive (frequency-independent) and a reactive (frequency-dependent) component. (2) In acoustics, the ratio of average sound pressure to particle velocity over a given surface area and at a given frequency.
Industry:Software; Computer
A difference, typically unintentional and undesired, between the signals on the input and output of an audio device. Commonly measured types of distortion include harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion, quantization distortion, and jitter. Intentional differences between input and output signals, such as level or equalization differences, are not described as distortion. Compare noise.
