A collection of polygonal facets that approximate the surface of a 3D object on screen. Modeling and animation technique using spherical or elliptical 3D objects in groups with gravitational attraction for one another. The closer they move together, the more they meld into an amorphous mass, with each object retaining its independence of movement. Perfect for modeling organic shapes. A subroutine in object-oriented languages.
Objects have methods that perform tasks.
The result is very good midrange clarity as well as minimized resonance within the enclosure that can lead to deteriorated sound quality and distortion. It cuts down on cost by leaving out expansion slots, but is still compatible with ATX cases. Low-level instructions or commands that can be executed to perform a particular function. A small microprocessor chip that's found inside a non-PC device, such as an appliance, an industrial machine, or a vehicle. Often, microcontrollers are older CPUs that are no longer considered powerful enough for desktop computers.
