E \E\ ([emac]).       1. The fifth letter of the English alphabet.          Note: It derives its form, name, and value from the Latin,                the form and value being further derived from the                Greek, into which it came from the Ph[d2]nician, and                ultimately, probably, from the Egyptian. Its                etymological relations are closest with the vowels i,                a, and o, as illustrated by to fall, to fell; man, pl.                men; drink, drank, drench; dint, dent; doom, deem;                goose, pl. geese; beef, OF. boef, L. bos; and E. cheer,                OF. chiere, LL. cara.          Note: The letter e has in English several vowel sounds, the                two principal being its long or name sound, as in eve,                me, and the short, as in end, best. Usually at the end                of words it is silent, but serves to indicate that the                preceding vowel has its long sound, where otherwise it                would be short, as in m[be]ne, c[be]ne, m[emac]te,                which without the final e would be pronounced m[acr]n,                c[acr]n, m[ecr]t.

A little way back of cornea, the                crystalline lens is suspended, dividing the eye into                two unequal cavities, a smaller one in front filled                with a watery fluid, the aqueous humor, and larger one                behind filled with a clear jelly, the vitreous humor.                The sclerotic is lined with a highly pigmented                membrane, the choroid, and this is turn is lined in the                back half of the eyeball with the nearly transparent                retina, in which the fibers of the optic nerve ramify.                The choroid in front is continuous with the iris, which                has a contractile opening in the center, the pupil,                admitting light to the lens which brings the rays to a                focus and forms an image upon the retina, where the                light, falling upon delicate structures called rods and                cones, causes them to stimulate the fibres of the optic                nerve to transmit visual impressions to the brain.          2. The faculty of seeing; power or range of vision; hence,             judgment or taste in the use of the eye, and in judging of             objects; as, to have the eye of sailor; an eye for the             beautiful or picturesque.          3.

EOU /E-O-U/ n.   The mnemonic of a mythical ASCII control    character (End Of User) that would make an ASR-33 Teletype explode    on receipt.   This construction parodies the numerous obscure    delimiter and control characters left in ASCII from the days when it    was associated more with wire-service teletypes than computers    (e.g., FS, GS, RS, US, EM, SUB, ETX, and esp. EOT).   It is worth    remembering that ASR-33s were big, noisy mechanical beasts with a    lot of clattering parts; the notion that one might explode was    nowhere near as ridiculous as it might seem to someone sitting in    front of a {tube} or flatscreen today.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
EIA-232          (Formerly "RS-232") The most common       {asynchronous} {serial line} {standard}.   EIA-232 is the {EIA}       equivalent of {ITU-T} {V.24}, and {V.28}.          EIA-232 specifies the {gender} and pin use of connectors, but       not their physical type.   {RS-423} specifies the electrical       signals.   25-way {D-type} connectors are common but often only       three wires are connected - one ground (pin 7) and one for       data in each direction.   The other pins are primarily related       to {hardware handshaking} between sender and receiver and to       {carrier detection} on {modems}, inoperative circuits, busy       conditions etc.          The standard classifies equipment as either {Data       Communications Equipment} (DCE) or {Data Terminal Equipment}       (DTE).   DTE receives data on pin 3 and transmits on pin 2       (TD).   A DCE EIA-232 interface has a female connector.   DCE       receives data from DTE on pin 2 (TD) and sends that data out       the analog line.   Data received from the analog line is sent       by the DCE on pin 3(RD).          Originally DCE was a modem and DTE was a computer or terminal.       The terminal or computer was connected (via EIA-232) to two       modems, which were connected via a telephone line.          The above arrangement allows a computer or terminal to be       connected to a modem with a straight-through (2-2, 3-3) cable.       It is common, however, to find equipment with the wrong sex       connector or with pins two and three reversed, requiring the       insertion of a cable or adaptor wired as a {gender mender} or       {null modem}.   Such an adaptor is also required when       connecting a computer directly to a terminal or to another       computer without the use of modems.          (1999-12-28)

EIA-422          (Formerly "RS-422") An {EIA}       {serial line} {standard} which specifies 4-wire,       {full-duplex}, {differential line}, {multi-drop}       communications.   The mechanical connections for this interface       are specified by {EIA-449}.   The maximum cable length is       1200m.   Maximum data rates are 10Mbps at 1.2m or 100Kbps at       1200m.   EIA-422 cannot implement a truly multi-point       communications network (such as with {EIA-485}), although only       one driver can be connected to up to ten receivers.   The best       use of EIA-422 is probably in {EIA-232} extension cords.          {Comparing EIA-422, 423, 449 to RS-232-C       (http://www.rad.com/networks/1995/rs232/rs449.htm)}.   {Details       on RS-232, 422, 423 and 485       (http://www.rs485.com/rs485spec.html)}.          (2002-10-05)

EIA-423          (Formerly "RS-423") An {EIA}       {serial line} {standard} which specifies {single ended}       communication.   The mechanical connections for this interface       are specified by {EIA-449}.   Although it was originally       intented as a successor of {EIA-232} it is not widely used.       The {EIA-232} standard has its limits at 20kbps and 1.5m.       EIA-423 can have a cable lenght of 1200m, and achieve a data       rate of 100Kbps.   When no data is being transmitted, the       serial line is at a logical zero (+3 to +15 Volts).   A logical       one is represented as a signal level of -15 to -3 Volts.   In       practise, one often finds signals which switch between       nominally +4.5 and +0.5 Volts.   Such signals are large by       modern standards, and because the impedance of the circuits is       relatively high, the allowable bit rate is modest.   The data       is preceded by a start bit which is always a logical       one.   There may be seven or eight bits of data, possibly       followed by an even or odd parity bit and one or two stop       bits.   A "break" condition is a continuous logical one on the       line which is what would be observed if nothing was connected.          {Comparing EIA-422, 423, 449 to RS-232-C       (http://www.rad.com/networks/1995/rs232/rs449.htm)}.   {Details       on RS-232, 422, 423 and 485       (http://www.rs485.com/rs485spec.html)}.          (2002-10-05)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Eye       (Heb. 'ain, meaning "flowing"), applied (1) to a fountain,       frequently; (2) to colour (Num. 11:7; R.V., "appearance," marg.       "eye"); (3) the face (Ex. 10:5, 15; Num. 22:5, 11), in Num.       14:14, "face to face" (R.V. marg., "eye to eye"). "Between the       eyes", i.e., the forehead (Ex. 13:9, 16).                The expression (Prov. 23:31), "when it giveth his colour in       the cup," is literally, "when it giveth out [or showeth] its       eye." The beads or bubbles of wine are thus spoken of. "To set       the eyes" on any one is to view him with favour (Gen. 44:21; Job       24:23; Jer. 39:12). This word is used figuratively in the       expressions an "evil eye" (Matt. 20:15), a "bountiful eye"       (Prov. 22:9), "haughty eyes" (6:17 marg.), "wanton eyes" (Isa.       3:16), "eyes full of adultery" (2 Pet. 2:14), "the lust of the       eyes" (1 John 2:16). Christians are warned against "eye-service"       (Eph. 6:6; Col. 3:22). Men were sometimes punished by having       their eyes put out (1 Sam. 11:2; Samson, Judg. 16:21; Zedekiah,       2 Kings 25:7).                The custom of painting the eyes is alluded to in 2 Kings 9:30,       R.V.; Jer. 4:30; Ezek. 23:40, a custom which still prevails       extensively among Eastern women.
