Velocity \Ve*loc"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Velocities}. [L. velocitas, from velox, -ocis, swift, quick; perhaps akin to v[?]lare to fly (see {Volatile}): cf. F. v[82]locit[82].] 1. Quickness of motion; swiftness; speed; celerity; rapidity; as, the velocity of wind; the velocity of a planet or comet in its orbit or course; the velocity of a cannon ball; the velocity of light. Note: In such phrases, velocity is more generally used than celerity. We apply celerity to animals; as, a horse or an ostrich runs with celerity; but bodies moving in the air or in ethereal space move with greater or less velocity, not celerity. This usage is arbitrary, and perhaps not universal. 2. (Mech.) Rate of motion; the relation of motion to time, measured by the number of units of space passed over by a moving body or point in a unit of time, usually the number of feet passed over in a second. See the Note under {Speed}. {Angular velocity}. See under {Angular}. {Initial velocity}, the velocity of a moving body at starting; especially, the velocity of a projectile as it leaves the mouth of a firearm from which it is discharged. {Relative velocity}, the velocity with which a body approaches or recedes from another body, whether both are moving or only one. {Uniform velocity}, velocity in which the same number of units of space are described in each successive unit of time. {Variable velocity}, velocity in which the space described varies from instant, either increasing or decreasing; -- in the former case called accelerated velocity, in the latter, retarded velocity; the acceleration or retardation itself being also either uniform or variable. {Virtual velocity}. See under {Virtual}. Note: In variable velocity, the velocity, strictly, at any given instant, is the rate of motion at that instant, and is expressed by the units of space, which, if the velocity at that instant were continued uniform during a unit of time, would be described in the unit of time; thus, the velocity of a falling body at a given instant is the number of feet which, if the motion which the body has at that instant were continued uniformly for one second, it would pass through in the second. The scientific sense of velocity differs from the popular sense in being applied to all rates of motion, however slow, while the latter implies more or less rapidity or quickness of motion. Syn: Swiftness; celerity; rapidity; fleetness; speed. | |

Uniform Naming Convention specify a directory on a {file server}. The basic format is: \\servername\sharename where "servername" is the {hostname} of a network file server, and "sharename" is the name of a networked or shared directory. Note this is not the same as the conventional {MS-DOS} "C:\windows" directory name. E.g. \\server1\dave might be set up to point to C:\users\homedirs\dave on a server called "server1". It is possible to execute a program using this convention without having to specifically link a drive, by running: \\server\share\directory\program.exe The {undocumented} DOS command, TRUENAME can be used to find out the UNC name of a file or directory on a network drive.

Uniform Resource Locator way of specifying the location of an object, typically a {web page}, on the {Internet}. Other types of object are described below. URLs are the form of address used on the {World-Wide Web}. They are used in {HTML} documents to specify the target of a {hyperlink} which is often another HTML document (possibly stored on another computer). Here are some example URLs: http://www.w3.org/default.html http://www.acme.co.uk:8080/images/map.gif http://www.foldoc.org/?Uniform+Resource+Locator http://www.w3.org/default.html#Introduction ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/mirrors/msdos/graphics/gifkit.zip ftp://spy:secret@ftp.acme.com/pub/topsecret/weapon.tgz mailto:fred@doc.ic.ac.uk news:alt.hypertext telnet://dra.com The part before the first colon specifies the access scheme or {protocol}. Commonly implemented schemes include: {ftp}, {http} (World-Wide Web), {gopher} or {WAIS}. The "file" scheme should only be used to refer to a file on the same host. Other less commonly used schemes include {news}, {telnet} or mailto ({e-mail}). The part after the colon is interpreted according to the access scheme. In general, two slashes after the colon introduce a {hostname} (host:port is also valid, or for {FTP} user:passwd@host or user@host). The {port} number is usually omitted and defaults to the standard port for the scheme, e.g. port 80 for HTTP. For an HTTP or FTP URL the next part is a {pathname} which is usually related to the pathname of a file on the server. The file can contain any type of data but only certain types are interpreted directly by most {browsers}. These include {HTML} and images in {gif} or {jpeg} format. The file's type is given by a {MIME} type in the HTTP headers returned by the server, e.g. "text/html", "image/gif", and is usually also indicated by its {filename extension}. A file whose type is not recognised directly by the browser may be passed to an external "viewer" {application}, e.g. a sound player. The last (optional) part of the URL may be a query string preceded by "?" or a "fragment identifier" preceded by "#". The later indicates a particular position within the specified document. Only alphanumerics, reserved characters (:/?#"<>%+) used for their reserved purposes and "$", "-", "_", ".", "&", "+" are safe and may be transmitted unencoded. Other characters are encoded as a "%" followed by two {hexadecimal} digits. Space may also be encoded as "+". Standard {SGML} "& character entity encodings (e.g. "é") are also accepted when URLs are embedded in HTML. The terminating semicolon may be omitted if & {The authoritative W3C URL specification (http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Addressing/Addressing.html)}. (2000-02-17) | |

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter for serial communications, containing a transmitter (parallel-to-serial converter) and a receiver (serial-to-parallel converter), each clocked separately. The parallel side of a UART is usually connected to the {bus} of a computer. When the computer writes a byte to the UART's transmit data register (TDR), the UART will start to transmit it on the serial line. The UART's status register contains a {flag} bit which the computer can read to see if the UART is ready to transmit another byte. Another status register bit says whether the UART has received a byte from the {serial line}, in which case the computer should read it from the receive data register (RDR). If another byte is received before the previous one is read, the UART will signal an "overrun" error via another status bit. The UART may be set up to {interrupt} the computer when data is received or when ready to transmit more data. The UART's serial connections usually go via separate {line driver} and {line receiver} {integrated circuits} which provide the power and voltages required to drive the serial line and give some protection against noise on the line. Data on the {serial line} is formatted by the {UART} according to the setting of the UART's control register. This may also determine the transmit and receive baud rates if the UART contains its own clock circuits or "{baud} rate generators". If incorrectly formated data is received the UART may signal a "{framing error}" or "{parity} error". Often the clock will run at 16 times the baud rate (bits per second) to allow the receiver to do {centre sampling} - i.e. to read each bit in the middle of its allotted time period. This makes the UART more tolerant to variations in the {clock rate} ("jitter") of the incoming data. An example of a late 1980s UART was the {Intel 8450}. In the 1990s, newer UARTs were developed with on-chip {buffer} space for data. This allowed higher transmission speed without data loss and without requiring such frequent attention from the computer. For example, the {Intel} {16550} has a 16 byte {FIFO}. The term "Serial Communications Interface" (SCI) was first used at {Motorola} around 1975 to refer to their start-stop asyncronous serial interface device, which others were calling a UART. See also {bit bang}. [Is this the same as an {ACIA}?] (2003-07-13) | |

UCS comes in a 16-bit variant called UCS-2 and a 32-bit variant called UCS-4, which is composed of 16-bit UCS-2 "planes". So far only one 16-bit plane has been defined, which is known as the {Basic Multilingual Plane}. The implementation of UCS is still in its infancy, though some moves, such as the {Java} language defining a character to be 16 bits, are suggestive. [Relationship with {Unicode}?] (1997-07-04) | |

University of Edinburgh A university in the centre of Scotland's capital. The University of Edinburgh has been promoting and setting standards in education for over 400 years. Granted its Royal Charter in 1582 by James VI, the son of Mary Queen of Scots, the University was founded the following year by the Town Council of Edinburgh, making it the first post-Reformation university in Scotland, and the first civic university to be established in the British Isles. Known in its early years as King James College, or the Tounis (Town's) College, the University soon established itself internationally, and by the 18th century Edinburgh was a leading centre of the European Enlightenment and one of the continent's principal universities. The University's close relationship with the city in which it is based, coupled with a forward-looking, international perspective, has kept Edinburgh at the forefront of new research and teaching developments whilst enabling it to retain a uniquely Scottish character. Edinburgh's academics are at the forefront of developments in the study and application of languages, medicine, micro-electronics, biotechnology, computer-based disciplines and many other subjects. Edinburgh's standing as a world centre for research is further enhanced by the presence on and around University precincts of many independently-funded, but closely linked, national research institutes {Home (http://www.ed.ac.uk/)}.
