Numeric std. numeric_std  is a library package defined for VHDL. It provides arithmetic functions for vectors. Overrides of std_logic_vector are defined for signed and unsigned arithmetic. It defines numeric types and arithmetic functions for use with synthesis tools. Two numeric types are defined: UNSIGNED (represents UNSIGNED number in vector form) and SIGNED (represents a SIGNED number in vector form). The base element type is type STD_LOGIC. The leftmost bit is treated as the most significant bit. Signed vectors are represented in two's complement form. This package contains overloaded arithmetic operators on the SIGNED and UNSIGNED types. The package also contains useful type conversions functions.

It is typically included at the top of a design unit:
  library ieee;
  use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;	-- standard unresolved logic UX01ZWLH-
  use ieee.numeric_std.all;       -- for the signed, unsigned types and arithmetic ops
The alternative numeric package ieee.std_logic_arith should not be used for new designs. This package does not provide overrides for mixing signed and unsigned functions. This package includes definitions for the following (not all of which are synthesizable):

Operators and functions

Sign changing operators 
 abs
 -

Arithmetic operators 
 +
 -
 *
 /
 rem
 mod
Note: the second argument of /, rem, or mod must be nonzero.

Comparison operators 
 >
 <
 <=
 >=
 =
 /=

Shift and rotate functions 
 SHIFT_LEFT
 SHIFT_RIGHT
 ROTATE_LEFT
 ROTATE_RIGHT
 sll
 srl
 rol
 ror

Resize function 
 RESIZE(v,n)
Note: when increasing the size of a signed vector the leftmost bits are filled with the sign bit, while truncation retains the sign bit along with the (n-1) rightmost bits. For an unsigned vector, a size increase fills the leftmost bits with zero, while truncation retains n rightmost bits.

Conversion functions 
 TO_INTEGER
 TO_UNSIGNED
 TO_SIGNED
Note: The latter two functions each require a second argument specifying the length of the resulting vector.

Logical operators 
 not
 and
 or
 nand
 nor
 xor
 xnor

Match function 
 STD_MATCH
Note: compares argument vectors element by element, but treats any bit with the value '-' as matching any other STD_ULOGIC value. Returns false if any argument bit is 'U', 'X', 'W', or 'Z'.

Special translation function 
 TO_01
Note: 'H' is translated to '1' and 'L' is translated to '0'; this function takes an optional second argument XMAP, which can be any of the std_logic values, but defaults to '0'. Any value besides 01LH in the input argument results in all bits being set to XMAP, with a warning issued.

American Eagle A-101. The American A-1 and A-101 were American two and three-seat biplanes of the 1920s.

Design and development
The American Eagle A-1 was designed in late 1925 as a training aircraft to replace the World War I biplanes then in use by the Porterfield Flying School. The prototype A-1 first flew at Richards Field in Kansas City Missouri on 9 April 1926. Small modifications made to the design in 1927, including ailerons on the lower wings, led to the A-101 designation. The 90 h.p. Curtiss OX-5 engine was initially fitted, but the 100 h.p. Curtiss OX-6 was fitted to later production A-101s.

Operational history
A total of approximately 300 A-1/A-101 aircraft had been completed by 1929. These served successfully with flying schools and private owners for many years and several survived in flying condition and displayed in museums in 2007.

List of highly toxic gases. Many gases have toxic properties, which are often assessed using the LC50 (median lethal concentration) measure. In the United States, many of these gases have been assigned an NFPA 704 health rating of 4 (may be fatal) or 3 (may cause serious or permanent injury), and/or exposure limits (TLV, TWA/PEL, STEL, or REL) determined by the ACGIH professional association. Some, but by no means all, toxic gases are detectable by odor, which can serve as a warning. Among the best known toxic gases are carbon monoxide, chlorine, nitrogen dioxide and phosgene.

Definitions
Toxic: a chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LC50) in air of more than 200 parts per million (ppm) but not more than 2,000 parts per million by volume of gas or vapor, or more than 2 milligrams per liter but not more than 20 milligrams per liter of mist, fume or dust, when administered by continuous inhalation for 1 hour (or less if death occurs within 1 hour) to albino rats weighing between 200 and 300 grams each.
Highly Toxic: a gas that has a LC50 in air of 200 ppm or less.
NFPA 704: Materials that, under emergency conditions, can cause serious or permanent injury are given a Health Hazard rating of 3. Their acute inhalation toxicity corresponds to those vapors or gases having LC50 values greater than 1,000 ppm but less than or equal to 3,000 ppm. Materials that, under emergency conditions, can be lethal are given a Health Hazard rating of 4. Their acute inhalation toxicity corresponds to those vapors or gases having LC50 values less than or equal to 1,000 ppm.

High-availability application architecture. In information technology, high-availability application architecture is a process followed when implementing a new application into an existing business-wide computer system or ERP while minimizing downtime. ff

The architecture contains three stages: development, quality assurance, and production.

Definition
In the above definition, high availability is "a design and implementation that ensures a certain degree of operational continuity", and application architecture refers to the actual concept and design of implementing a new configuration into the particular system.

Summary
In the IT world minimizing downtime is very important, and in order to implement a new configuration into an existing computer system one must follow strict architectural guidelines before releasing the new configuration into production. Following the application architecture guidelines will greatly reduce the potential downtime when implementing a new configuration into an existing system.

Stages of architecture
There are three stages that an application must go through before it "goes live." Each of these stages must pass through the transport directory before going on to the next stage.

Development
The development stage is where program changes, and configuration settings are modified to meet the needs of the new or existing system.

Quality assurance
During the quality assurance stage the configuration settings, and program changes that impact the application are tested. If any faults are detected, they are corrected during this stage.

Production
The final stage that the application enters is the production stage, which entails the actual system that a company runs its business on.

Transport directory
The transport directory serves as a compiler for all of the changes to the application that occur through the stages. This component is the mechanism that allows the changes to be tracked from stage to stage. When the application is released for production, it will be delivered out of the transport directory.

Missouri Meerschaum. The Missouri Meerschaum Company is a tobacco smoking pipe manufacturer located in Washington, Missouri.  It is the world's oldest and largest manufacturer of corncob pipes.

The company was founded in 1869 when Dutch-American woodworker Henry Tibbe began producing corncob pipes and selling them in his shop. Tibbes likened the pipes to meerschaum pipes and thus named them "Missouri Meerschaum." In 1878 Tibbe patented his method of fireproofing the pipes by applying a plaster-like substance to the outside of the cob. In 1883 Tibbe and his son Anton applied for a U.S. Patent to trademark their Missouri Meerschaum pipe. In 1907 H. Tibbe & Son Co. became the Missouri Meerschaum Company.

The Missouri Meerschaum Company's factory currently produces 3,500 pipes per day and ships these pipes to every U.S. state and several foreign countries.

Alert Standard Format. Alert Standard Format (ASF) (also sometimes referred to as Alert Standard Forum, Alerting Specifications Forum, Alert Specification Function, etc.) is a DMTF standard for remote monitoring, management and control of computer systems in both OS-present and OS-absent environments. These technologies are primarily focused on minimizing on-site I/T maintenance, maximizing system availability and performance to the local user.

ASF, unlike other DMTF standards, defines both external-facing network protocols (for use with Remote Management Consoles and Alert Sending Devices) and system-internal protocols and data models (for use in System Firmware, Remote Control Devices, Alert Sending Devices, and Sensors).

ASF v1.0 (DSP0114) was published by the DMTF Pre-OS Working Group in June 2001.

ASF v2.0 (DSP0136), adding secure remote authentication and data integrity, was published by the DMTF Pre-OS Working Group in April 2003.

Network protocols 
 RMCP (Remote Management and Control Protocol) transmitted by the Remote Management Console and received by the Alert Sending Device via UDP port 623
 RSP (RMCP Security-Extensions Protocol) transmitted by the Remote Management Console and received by the Alert Sending Device via UDP port 664 (added in ASF 2.0)
 PET (Platform Event Traps) transmitted by the Alert Sending Device and received by the Remote Management Console via UDP port 162 (SNMP-Traps)

Internal protocols and data models 
 SMBus 2.0 Messages (between the System Firmware, Alert Sending Device, Remote Control Device, and Sensors)
 ACPI System Description Table (sometimes referred to as the "ASF!" table) to be populated by the System Firmware and used by the Alert Sending Device

South Australian Railways 600 class (diesel). The 600 class are a class of diesel-electric locomotives manufactured by AE Goodwin, Auburn for the South Australian Railways between 1965 and 1970.

History
The 600 class were built by Alco's Australian licensee AE Goodwin, Auburn and are based on the Alco DL-541 model. Forty similar examples were built by AE Goodwin for the New South Wales Government Railways as the 45 class in 1962-64.

Two were built in April 1965 for use on standard gauge construction trains and with completion imminent, a further five were delivered in 1969/70. They were the only South Australian Railways diesels to never operate on the Broad Gauge. They primarily operated services between Broken Hill and Port Pirie. They later operated to Adelaide and Leigh Creek. In March 1978, the 600s were included in the transfer of South Australian Railways to Australian National.

From July 1982 until October 1985, some were hired to the State Rail Authority where they were based at Goulburn to operate freight services on the Main South and Illawarra lines. In 1986, a new computer system required the class leaders of the former South Australian Railways to be renumbered as the last member of the class, with 600 becoming 607.

In 1994, four were converted to Booster Units by Morrison Knudsen Australia's Whyalla factory to operate with Australian National's ALF class locomotives. This involved removing the cab and engine, retaining four of the six bogie traction motors and filling the engine bay with 30 tonnes of concrete with the idea of increasing traction at low speed. They were not successful and placed in store in 1996. Australian Southern Railroad trialled BU1 in 2000, but it soon returned to store. All were scrapped in 2009.

When Australian National was sold to Australian Southern Railroad in October 1997, the remaining 3 units were included in the sale. They were later sold by ASR in October 2004 to South Spur Rail Services and were transferred to New South Wales. SSRS sold the business and locomotives to Coote Industrial in March 2007. As at October 2014 only two remained in service. In April 2016, these were sold to Southern Shorthaul Railroad and are currently stored, 602 was returned to service in 2017.
