To own as genuine; to assent to, as a legal instrument, to             give it validity; to avow or admit in legal form; as, to             acknowledgea deed.          Syn: To avow; proclaim; recognize; own; admit; allow;                concede; confess.          Usage: {Acknowledge}, {Recognize}. Acknowledge is opposed to                   keep back, or conceal, and supposes that something had                   been previously known to us (though perhaps not to                   others) which we now feel bound to lay open or make                   public. Thus, a man acknowledges a secret marriage;                   one who has done wrong acknowledges his fault; and                   author acknowledges his obligation to those who have                   aided him; we acknowledge our ignorance. Recognize                   supposes that we have either forgotten or not had the                   evidence of a thing distinctly before our minds, but                   that now we know it (as it were) anew, or receive and                   admit in on the ground of the evidence it brings.                   Thus, we recognize a friend after a long absence. We                   recognize facts, principles, truths, etc., when their                   evidence is brought up fresh to the mind; as, bad men                   usually recognize the providence of God in seasons of                   danger. A foreign minister, consul, or agent, of any                   kind, is recognized on the ground of his producing                   satisfactory credentials. See also {Confess}.

Photosynthesis \Pho`to*syn"the*sis\, n.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
accumulator          In a {central processing unit}, a {register} in       which intermediate results are stored.   Without an       accumulator, it would be necessary to write the result of each       calculation (addition, multiplication, {shift}, etc.) to {main       memory} and read them back.   Access to main memory is slower       than access to the accumulator which usually has direct paths       to and from the {arithmetic and logic unit} (ALU).          The {canonical} example is summing a list of numbers.   The       accumulator is set to zero initially, each number in turn is       added to the value in the accumulator and only when all       numbers have been added is the result written to main memory.          Modern CPUs usually have many registers, all or many of which       can be used as accumulators.   For this reason, the term       "accumulator" is somewhat archaic.   Use of it as a synonym for       "register" is a fairly reliable indication that the user has       been around for quite a while and/or that the architecture       under discussion is quite old.   The term in full is almost       never used of microprocessor registers, for example, though       symbolic names for arithmetic registers beginning in "A"       derive from historical use of the term "accumulator" (and not,       actually, from "arithmetic").   Confusingly, though, an "A"       register name prefix may also stand for "address", as for       example on the {Motorola} {680x0} family.          2.
