Lua is cross-platform software, since the interpreter of compiled bytecode is written in ANSI C, [ 4] and Lua has a relatively simple C application programming interface ( API) to embed it into applications. [ 5] Lua originated in 1993 as a language for extending software applications to meet the increasing demand for customization at the time.
Rexx. Rexx ( Restructured Extended Executor) is a programming language that can be interpreted or compiled. It was developed at IBM by Mike Cowlishaw. [3] [4] It is a structured, high-level programming language designed for ease of learning and reading. Proprietary and open source Rexx interpreters exist for a wide range of computing platforms ...
Fluxus was an international, interdisciplinary community of artists, composers, designers, and poets during the 1960s and 1970s who engaged in experimental art performances which emphasized the artistic process over the finished product. [ 1][ 2] Fluxus is known for experimental contributions to different artistic media and disciplines and for ...
A flux pen used for electronics rework. Multicore solder containing flux. Wire freshly coated with solder, held above molten rosin flux. In metallurgy, a flux is a chemical reducing agent, flowing agent, or purifying agent. Fluxes may have more than one function at a time.
In circuit theory, flux linkage is a property of a two-terminal element. It is an extension rather than an equivalent of magnetic flux and is defined as a time integral [citation needed] where is the voltage across the device, or the potential difference between the two terminals. This definition can also be written in differential form as a rate.
An explosively pumped flux compression generator ( EPFCG) is a device used to generate a high-power electromagnetic pulse by compressing magnetic flux using high explosive . An EPFCG only ever generates a single pulse as the device is physically destroyed during operation. They require a starting current pulse to operate, usually supplied by ...
The luminous flux is a weighted sum of the power at all wavelengths in the visible band. Light outside the visible band does not contribute. The ratio of the total luminous flux to the radiant flux is called the luminous efficacy. This model of the human visual brightness perception, is standardized by the CIE and ISO. [ 5]
Flux limiter. Flux limiters are used in high resolution schemes – numerical schemes used to solve problems in science and engineering, particularly fluid dynamics, described by partial differential equations (PDEs). They are used in high resolution schemes, such as the MUSCL scheme, to avoid the spurious oscillations (wiggles) that would ...
